I think the idea of number plates on cycles would be a nightmare to enforce and manage.

As someone said you can remove the plate with a screwdriver and dump the old bike. No big deal, even my gran said she is capable of doing this! To lessen the effects of dumping you would also have to record bike model, serial numbers, and serial numbers of subcomponents, like they do with cars.

I agree with realteacher I also have a light weight bike I use for racing. These bikes are expensive and the last thing I need is a number plate system adding weight to the bike and destroying aero dynamics.

The victims were unlucky to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, it could have happened anywhere. I feel sorry for them and their families. For that to happen at 1pm in a busy street the victims would not be aware of any danger.

Random attacks that happen during the day like this are difficult to avoid and defend against as your guard is down.

R.I.P

@Ah_so As I mentioned it shouldn't make any difference what religion he is. It should be a private affair outside of his job. As an area of interest, presidency is a job like any other...Unless you are applying for a job in s achurch, how many JT readers get asked what religion they are when they apply for a job?

Frank thats nice that they supported you during such a bad time. Of course many mormons are good people and what they did was also humanitarian and neighbourly thing to do and perhaps independant from religion. I am not Mormon or any religion but if you lived in our community we would also have helped you in the same way. However I can not condem any religion but just that I don't wish to see it having impact in politics or any other workplace.

@Johninnaha Your right it does not matter what religion he is as far as running a country is concerned.

It shouldn't matter whether he is muslim, jew, gay, has a mistress, etc, etc as these should be personal and should not affect politics and negatively impact the job they are doing running the country.

@tokyokawasaki I agree with you but with religion it can be much deeper within a person than critising their favorite film. If you say someting bad about Allah in a muslim country they take great personal offence, and you can wait for retaliation. Perhaps similar is making Russ upset.

@ Russ Hey Russ might take you up on your offer for a bite to eat and you can tell me about the mormons and in return I will convert you to an atheist ! I am sure you are a nice person but any religious people I have met have turned out to be, not so nice, sometimes a bit scary and I pick up bad spriual vibes from them. Sorry but that is my experience.

In defence of the churches and religion, they intent is good and the do some good work. God obviously does not exist, but religion, like the mormons is real, it is amazing so many exist

Religion should have no place or any influence with politics.

If this happens it will interfere with progress and It would be no different from many countries run by an Islamic goverment (since it is the same god) and look at the mess they are in.

Me too Its a nusiance, I have so many password changes I keep forgetten them

Many negative comments here but I think Japan would go for it, something for the people to look forward to, there is more to it than just money

Sounds good, might meet a better class of girl there than some of the ones trying to trap me in the nightclubs of Roppongi!

In some countries she would have went to jail for manslaughter for not complying with safety requests

I thought there would be some stonger enforcement laws that can shut down business until complience is met?

Well, this makes us wonder what other death traps are out there?

@yubaru

Its a crying shame I was one of the 1.5 m people that voted, can't deal l with serious issues that would make a difference to the country all the time. It is nice to vote for something that is not of serious nature..makes people happy Maybe you need to have a night out, get drunk, get silly and enjoy yourself

I am one of the voters and my vote was the winner...Yipeeee

I am an AKB48 fan. Someone asked about the fan base.... okay I am a 24 year old martial artist/ dancer. I would marry any of these 3 girls tomorrow if I could. If I was a muslim I would just marry the three of them.

I wonder if the scum bag will get a leaner sentence than someone caught with a small amount of drugs?

I have had many times with Beer Goggles! Makes the overweight girls look cute

Nice pic JT Do they provide hooter shooters? I'll have one please

I find most of what was written quite amusing.

Japan make some surprisingly good whiskey, try marketing that.

Masayoshi Son has found a gap in the market. I would imagine these would sell well in Japan assuming the majority of people can afford them.

Nice..Any more pictures???

If the president obtained permits to operate unauthorized bus tours for Chinese tourists violating Road Transportation Law then he deserves to be arrested and punished for the crime. It is normal for company presidents in many countries to be arrested if they fail to enforce health and safety policies that result in deaths. In this case the driver is also a victim.

As usual, we are having a shake and we fear how bad is it going to get and whats next.

It is always a risk going somewhere with a stranger and fuelled with alcohol. An unfortunate ending in this case. We should always remind ourselves of the risks.

LOFL!

Headline news eh... What are the fans voting on? Musical capability..ha ha? Singing ...he he? Shortest skirts....hmmm? Best looks? What??

Must have been stressful for the couple being in love and married to be faced with this threat. Surely there are other priorities that the immigration authorities need to look at

I would agree with cactus jack. Something older man looking about it. My grandad thought it looks good and he is old enough to afford it

Bicultural mentioned getting the money back in 5 years on a hybrid but does anyone know what the depretiation is on a hybrid compared to traditional type???

Something tells me this car will lose value faster than it will go

Obviously this garment must have been developed by a woman

Why??
