It's better for the government also investigate other propitious cults as:

-Jehova's Witnesses

-Fujisekiji Kenshoukai(冨士大石寺顕正会)

People come knocking on my door very often, and it's very annoying...

And I know at least a little bit about Fujisekiji Kenshoukai: they even charge fees to join them, and ask for donations at the end of the year.

There's no meaning have football in the Olympics, if opponents want to fight against each other...the Purpose of the Olympics is the opposite...to be friendly.

Posted in: Yoshizawa, Akama win gold, silver in street skateboarding at Paris Games See in context

Some people complain, saying this event should even not be an Olympics sort...

I disagree, because the athletes support each other, and there are a lot of comraderie. And The best, the more talented athlete wins...not the tallest...

Most events where the tallets has huge advantages are Volleyball, football, swimming, basketball, and many more.

It's very fun to watch them playing, and people watching this event really enjoy the atmosphere.

Posted in: Woman dies after being shoved to the floor at home by 19-year-old son See in context

Hey, why is not given more details like his father, and his brothers? Or was a single mother with only one child?

Anyway, I wonder what was the argument they were fighting for.

Posted in: Arrest proves a common Japanese saying about apologies and police See in context

Terrible misspelling:

It's not "Saki wo gomen”.

Correct is: 'Sakki wa gomen'.

Moderator: Yes, you are correct. It has been fixed. Thank you.

Posted in: Woman, baby daughter die after being hit by train in apparent murder-suicide See in context

Japan Today should inform whether she was a single mother. what was her situation?

Anyway, she should have looked for help with relatives. If really wanted to die, she should have left the child with somebody, or with the orphanage.

I love the anime Chibi maruko-cha...

It's very sad not hearing her voice anymore.

Also I've watched Maison Ikkoku...it's a very interesting anime...also the Live action movie.

Posted in: Truck driver arrested over fatal hit-and-run of 23-month-old boy in Saitama Prefecture See in context

Incredible that the truck was dammaged after hitting the very small boy...

So, if it wasn't dammaged, police would never find who killed the boy.

In that aspect, they were lucky.

I've never read the manga or watched the 'Dragon Ball', but I know it was very popular in Canada, for example. I used to see lots of volumes of its manga, available to be lent.

It'll help a lot also if all the private matchmaking websites turned out Free of charge...many have Free choice, but in that case, we can't contact the partner with whom we are interested.

Posted in: Teen arrested over murder of parents in Kanagawa Prefecture See in context

Death Penalty for him?

The main points that must be taken into account:

1) He's a minor

2) He may have had strong reasons for committing this crime....was he being abused by his parents?

A shark would be more remorseful after biting a surfer´s leg than this pervert.

Posted in: Man gets 20 years for killing woman, dumping her body in Miyagi mountain forest See in context

For such a gruesome crime(kidnapping, violating, and murdering), the sentence of 20 years is like a visit in the park...too short.

A life sentence would be more appropriate.

A shark biting and killing his victim has more remorse than North Korean President Kim Jong Un launching missiles toward Japan.

Message of sympathy?

After launching so many missiles to the air space of Japan, who will believe he sympathizes with Japan?

Posted in: Tokyo's Shibuya sees subdued Halloween as tight security dampens mood See in context

Somebody said:

"I think they should welcome (Halloween) rather than resist it. After all, everyone is coming because they love Shibuya,"

The above statement is stupid...government is preventing accidents, terror attacks, and people leaving the streets dirty with so much trash and garbage.

I'm glad authorities are preventing this Halloween gathering。

The design with the long head is not appropriate for tight streets in Japan...very difficult for drivers to check for pedestrians and bicycles on the crossings.

I would never buy...smart people would never buy such a cumbersome and impractical car.

Posted in: Gov't may seek to dissolve Unification Church: source See in context

The government should consider also dissolving 冨士大石寺顕正会(ふじたいせきじけんしょうかい)/Fuji Taisekiji Kenshoukai, which is very similar to the Unification Church.

They also ask members to buy their books and products, and ask to donate money.

At least, I wish some TV Network make a documentary on their activities...it's very similar to what the Unification Church has been doing.
