be nice if he had left a note admitting his crime

I dislike this use of "Memorial" in Japan. She's not dead yet.

I think they are trying to sound "correct". That is so important to the Japanese that they end up misusing the English language. "Anniversary" is actually correct as one only has one birthday.

I guess they would then opt for another country with a pro league such as Korea.

Poor losers.

Even if this is challenged I could see how all the teams would secretly agree to a "de facto ban" on returnees. Look at what MLB did to Barry Bonds this year - that was crazy. Just think how many teams he could have helped, but he couldn't get even a $390,000 deal.

I teach some kids classes at home. My older son (5) has no interest in joining the classes. He keeps busy with his toys and art projects with my wife. My younger son (3) wakes up in the morning and says, "Today we're having an English lesson, right?" He joins in with the nine-year-old wild boys. Today, he was teaching them to count to nine so they could say their ages. He loves "Bingo" and "Concentration".

Both boys grew up in more or less the same environment, but are turning out a bit differently. It's their genetic makeup and there's nothing we can do about it except encourage them in their interests.

Let's say we hit and kill and old geezer - how much is it going to cost?

These old people seem to have a death wish. They are always jaywalking. Is this being treated as manslaughter or a suicide?

Local hunter groups have been mobilized to find the bear.

In other words, a posse.

My friend's friend just survived a mauling by a grizzly in Wyoming. It was bow hunting season so they were not allowed to carry a gun. By a miracle, his father's arrow found the grizzly's heart. It was a shot in the back.

Iwamura is way better than that Koksuk Fukudome. That lazy KF won't even take extra hitting practice.

A lot of young Japanese women mistake dressing like a hooker as fashion

Maybe they don't know what hookers look like. How often do you actually see a hooker in Japan?

They should be free to do as they please. This benefits everyone. The prudes know who they should avoid and the fun lovers know who they can approach.
