NOMINATION comments

Rape sentences are light in Japan I believe. He deserves multiple decades behind bars.

Why I never donate to charities. The middleman is probably living it up as we speak. If you want to make a difference, volunteer or donate directly.

Maybe she could do a dance together with Travis Kelce.

Pretty sure he will be in the lockerroom during halftime. Don't count her out wearing a Kelce jersey though.

Hate the Whiners, tired of the Chiefs. What an uninteresting Super Bowl! Go Chiefs I guess.

This one made the news but unfortunately this happens way to often here in Japan as I have heard from students or women when they were students.

Not sure why it was deleted but there is no difference between a foreign born Miss Japan and foreign born members of Japan National sports teams. Why are people up in arms about this? Ridiculous!

Not only did he kill 36, the victims' families and friends have to live the rest of their lives with this. On top of that, the many who witnessed this also have to live with the trauma. I really wish that people here commenting would have more sympathy for the victims than whining about saving an evil mass murderer.

2 ways to go about this if they aren't criminally responsible:

Name and shame the racists in mass media

Put them in a ring with Zion and see how much of a "man" they truly are against a man that is 192cm, 93kg.

What is gained by executing him? - the procedure costs as much as simply incarcerating him for the remainder of his life

As you are a person with no dog in this fight, I am not surprised that you didn't have any compassion for the 2 daughters who lost their parents and livelihoods. Instead you are more focused on saving a brutal murderer who not only killed 2 innocent people but also destroyed the lives of 2 more who will never get over what they witnessed.

I do not think this article is congratulating this woman. It just tells her story. Well, readers can have different opinions after reading it.

Yeah and this is nothing abnormal. There are tons of TV series, Youtube channels, documentaries and books made from the viewpoint of gangs and inmates.

Why would this even be news? Seems like 90% of women in show business go Bi at one time or another.

California Controller Malia M Cohen wants Congress to change the tax code to cap deferred payments, a change that could ensure the state is owed more money from Shohei Ohtani.

Let's see where this Malia M Cohen comes from....here it is, San Francisco. Hmm.....

The only people who think this guy is funny or cool are Alphard driving factory workers!

lol You are almost right about the guy that recommended Downtown t o me many years ago. However, I think he drove a HIACE.

But people out here screaming death to Israel and making anti-semitic statements left and right yet nobody is checking them. Why?

Just hand the World Series to the Dodgers already!

Perhaps you should follow the sport and not individual players. Year after year Dodgers trade or sign the best players, top 3 highest payroll, have one of the best records in the MLB and still choke in the playoffs.

I'm not a Dodgers fan, but I'm happy they're playing on the west coast, and wearing blue hats not red like the Angels and other losers.

So what "winner" do you root for?

As far as goods are concerned within the U.S., his Dodgers merch won't sell as well as his Angels merch outside of L.A. because a lot more fans hate the Dodgers more than they do the Angels. Same goes with people not being into Yankees merch outside of NY because many hate baseball fans them. Don't worry about Japan. They will jump on whatever bandwagon he plays on.

As someone who grew up as a San Francisco Giants fan I hope the Dodgers just wasted a bunch of money and Ohtani's best years are behind him.

As an Angels fan, I am with you in hating the Dodgers lol Their fans are insufferable. I kind of wished he was going elsewhere because flights home to L.A. will continue to be harder to get like they have the past few years in season.

Conservatives are the last people to even make that comment lol smh.

Take it from a non-American.

drive very slowly especially when in reverse and keep your head on a swivel. I often see people backing out of parking spots too quickly. I mean you know that there are people walking around in a parking lots.

90-95% of people here back into parking spots so they can leave easily. It is always tough parking head first because of the amount of foot traffic and narrow parking lots. Not saying this is the case in this incident but I notice pedestrians are usually oblivious to cars trying to back and walk right behind your car as if you automatically see them.

Police traced the bike to a housing complex in Izumi and staked out the building.  

In my experience, police in Osaka go all out for stolen bikes and not much for anything else.

Her husband was apparently unaware of what she had done.

Get outta there while you can homie!

All these people calling for life imprisonment don't seem to realize that this punishment does not exist in Japanese law.

It does exist.

Crimes against kids here tend to get light sentences. Rarely have I seen life sentences.

Losers. You are ready to marry at 18 but not ready for a baby?

My money is on Gaza protesters doing this.

I don't see any evidence that Biden is anything but lucid.

Calls Ukrainian people "Iranian"

Reads teleprompter instructions aloud

Looks for Republican politician in audience that was dead for months before

Calls Kamala the President

Says U.S. has 54 States

Calls Cambodia "Colombia"

Shakes hands with nobody there

Can't exit a stage without going the wrong direction or stumbling

Yip above, do you still believe that rubbish claim of a Hamas underground command centre ??

Probably the same as you believing everything that Hamas has to say.

America has become the land of conspiracies.

Most Americans don't sit around dwelling on politics. Non-Americans in here think they know the U.S. inside and out by the couple articles they read everyday.

Standard Japanese way to fearmongering, yes they are illegal but not that unsafe. Many countries have airport where operate unlicensed taxis, some even better than licensed taxis because it's operated by senior driver who know cities better than younger driver that operate licensed taxis.

Well several countries have unlicensed taxis that will pick you up from the airport then overcharge you, drive off with your luggage or take you to a spot for someone to rob you. That my friend is unsafe. Better be safe than sorry.
