As a man who really wants to have children when I read such thing it always devastating me... RIP to those that have died including the mother even if I really can't accept her action...

What I have seen in Japan is that women and men want it the traditional way in the couple but also a more involved father in the family and a more involved mother in helping with the financilal aspect, though both are often too stubborn to cross that line often kept that way by family and society pressure, that is really sad...

I'm happy to know Japanese friends that have crossed that line of the family and society pressure and despite those difficulties their couples are in better harmony (if I can say it like that)

Still 1 is already too much... sad...

it's like slavery...

Your data is a bit old (FYI Quebec has been independent from France for a while

Even independent from France Nous parlons toujours francais au Quebec, we just don't have the same accent.

C'mooon!!! to act like that is Japan a society of adults that have never passed the behavior of teenagers ???

I know by experience that many Japanese women can't face real meaningful conversations with their lover, but it's so depressing to see such action from supposedly "adult" men. I love that country, but more I read and more I experience life there less I want to live there, I guess I will only spend long vacations there despite I was so looking forward to one day be able to live there...

most Canadian provinces are at around 15%

sam white: Trump was elected thanks to the electoral college, NOT the "average" people who have voted with a majority for HIllary ...

Ray Paine: I don't want the USA milk that is full of antibiotics and growth hormone, keep your trash in your backyard, when your industry is regulated maybe we'll be able to talk more about it.

Trump is an idiot, not to say that other leaders are too, but at least they are trying to get along and understand others. Trump is like a baby making tantrums. Dr. Phil should treat him. :)

Bring the UN and other such organizations to Canada where they are more fit to be...

sorry, rising, not raising in my last comment...lol

wtfjapan: Many milk farmers in the USA would LOVE to have a more regulated business like in Canada. WHY ? because now how it is in the USA those farmers are producing way too much milk and when they can't sell it it's going to wasteland so profit's going down. Too much milk makes the price they can sell it cheaper, taking care of those cows when cost for grains and other is raising so those farmers are getting in a very bad situation.

USA prefer to blame it on other countries than to try to fix their OWN home problems, it's easier to blame others than truly looking at yourself and try to find a solution.

OH! by the way USA is NOT America, BUT only A PART of it, so as we say in Quebec and sometimes in France "les Etats-uniens" :)

Just enjoy the movies... Plus being in a far far away galaxy why would it be a problem to have anybody(human(from any skin color or gender), alien from a different planet) or anything(droids or else) being in a lead role ? It's sci-fi fantasy story, anything can happen in it... Those people talking crap on an actor/actress are just losers and a waste of time to talk about (like I do here myself).

gaijinpapa I understand you very well, I had a child with a Japanese ex-girlfriend, she gave birth while I was back to my country, never been able to see that child of mine(reason I got we weren't married and her mother influence) and every time I go back to Japan and try to meet with her she runs away to another family member in another prefecture, I have tried many things legally and still nothing. When I have seen that news it just made my heart squeezed on itself and hope that my child is well cared.

Her words brought me tears, she was asking forgiveness because she was playing, c'mooon!!!

RIP little girl, many people are with you in thoughts...

From my experience there the first thing they have to do is talk to each other instead of trying to guess what the other ones mean or want or etc... They have to face their problems and stop running away from them. I was in Japan with a GF of 2 years relationship, I got a heat stroke and had to go to the hospital, the day after she told me she was disappointed of me and she never talked to me again !?!?!

Had another GF there we were talking having children and for my part I want to get involved in the education of them but as soon as we started to talk about such thing she told me she was the woman(be the mother) and she is the one taking care of the decisions concerning the children then she said no talking about serious topics and she stopped talking to me for 1 week... no wonder why such things happening over there they only want to talk of happy things when serious ones happening they are running away or do like they don't exist... I am sure the problem is deeper then that...

concerns is one thing, being nagged is another one. Killing for that is not the right thing to do as others have said moving to a single apartment somewhere far from his family would have been a better choice and even cutting links with his family for a while too would have been a better choice.

I worked for 5 years in a company, same coworkers for all those 5 years, once a month we had happy hour time at a local pub, a female coworker was regularly slapping guys' butt one day 1 of the guy wished her happy birthday and gave her a regular friendly hug and the week after he was called to my superior's office sexual misconduct... a very big surprised we got when we heard that, so he told our superior about her behavior with slapping butts' coworkers regularly and our superior (a female)asked other coworkers about this and heard that she was also doing that to other coworkers so when she got called to my superior offices and refute the allegations, but a couple of months later she resigned because nobody was talking to her anymore... Nobody talked about it when she was doing it it was like a friendly thing we didn't care about until that moment she accused someone of sexual misconduct. Anyway to accuse someone of such behavior people should be very careful.

It is sad story and I can see why they have done that. From what I heard from my exs and some friends they can't and don't talk to their parents about many things even if it's just about how they feel, no hugs, so imagine a pregnancy outside wedlock it would brings shame on the family and many prefer to hide stuff than confronting reality. I certainly don't agree with that. They also should stop guessing on how others think and really start to talk to each other. I am sure it would help them a lot of course sex ed and the use of contraception tools.

Well... how about him learning a foreign language?

On my first trip to Japan at Yokohama station I was looking at lot every where in the air to find my way not getting lost and 1 time by accident I just barely touch the hand of a Japanese girl and I immediately apologize but at my surprise she had a look at me and almost just ran away... I was like whaat!?! Once back to my gf's place of the time( she was Japanese) I've told her about the incident and she told me "she's crazy"... but now having been to Japan many times and reading more news and other stuffs I have learned that sometimes some people's reactions can be over the top to the limit of paranoia, but I also have noticed a lot or weirdos are walking around there. So after that just incident of mine I have learned how to at least apologize in Japanese language.
