Funny, I give some pretty well-kown advice for adults to avoid losing their own tempers when an infant is inconsolable, and get rated down.

Sometimes its best for an adult who is overwhlemed to ensure the baby is safe, then walk away for a short while and cool down.

21 year olds are generally to young to intellectually stimulate someone 30+ years older. They often seem like children in adult's bodies if you are 30+ and socialize with them. I assume that she must be as puerile as her onscreen persona ..

Asagao - brainwashed much?
China is the one being aggressive, they are attempting to steal the natural resources that are present within the EEZ of other nations. China is claiming up to 900 miles off its shores, whereas, legally they should only claim 200 miles.
Maybe the Chinese are peaceful, but their government is an aggressive bully.

Also a bit of a strange choice of words since there is already a company called SBI JapanNext, which is well known in the Equity trading business here.

I agree, she seems to be a genuinely happy person, and doesn't take herself too seriously.

IT'S ME
Wow.. sarcasm really goes over your head... hint... ---> =D
Fact is the article is so badly written it can be taken about a dozen different ways, but some are obviously ludicrous... E.g. Where do the Grandparents live??
He says he took their son from Japan to China, in part because of the couple's faltering relationship. Carl Mueller and the boy moved in with Mueller's parents.
Where does the mother live??
A U.S. man is rejoining his wife in Japan after they settled a custody dispute over their 8-year-old son.
Why is a US Court deciding this since the residence in US is of the parties invloved is not mentioned..
Nature of custody settlement is not described.. Child remained on their own in China Child remained on their own in US Child remained with grandparents in China Child remained with grandparents in US Child went to live with Father Child went to live with Mother
Next question is, assuming the child went to Japan with the father (a safe assumption in reality) Father and child living together Mother and child living together Father, Mother and child living together
Basically the article present very little information about the situation, and is open to so many assumptions of varying degrees of likelyood.

Amusingly, the article doesn't state that they brought the son back from China or the US.. But I assume the custody settlement wasn't for the son to remain with the man's parents =D

At 32, she is way too young. Wait until she is at least 70, then she can be considered for a political career. That's how it works here. Oh, she is also a female - this won't go down well with the voters.
According to him she should be euthanised when she passes child bearing age... so no chance of that.
