He can have sex with a 16 years ago girl (rule of 5 years difference).

He is excited, she says she is 16, what should he do ? Force her to proof of age while it does not even exist in Japan Lol.

Of course wisdom shall tell him to stop but instinct of reproduction takes over.

Men and women get excited and forget basics. Rule of nature.

She regrets and tell her father.

Father should have punished her severely. Since when do 13 year old girl seek strangers for affairs, even if it would have been for fun ? Never. Parent's responsibility and authority over his child to blame.

I have two daughters and I have warned them over issues they may be caught by.

More (child) victim blaming. Gross.

Fault on both sides here

No, legally and morally the fault is on the side of the asailant. The victim is a child and children cannot consent to sex, particularly with an adult.

Disgusting and disturbing comments such as yours are a large reason as to why victims of sexual assault don't come forward. It shouldn't take you having a sister, wife or daughter to see how abhorent the assailant's actions were, just a little human compassion should do the trick.

Idris Elba has the presence and cool to do it but I can imagine the racists having meltdowns in basements. 

Persuade him to do it. Pay him over

I agree. Idris would be great and it’s kind of hilarious and pathetic to watch people get their knickers in a twist over a fictional character who lives a fictional life.

The devastating effects of legalization in US and elsewhere are already visible and offer us a stark reminder that we are lucky it is not so in Japan. The damage to the brain, especially growing brain is taking a toll already. Just look at the average IQ going downhill in US for the past decade.

If you’re worried about the devastating effects of something maybe try focusing your ire on alcohol. The actions of sheer stupidity and violence caused by those under the influence of alcohol are too numerous to count, yes, even on these fair isles.

He has a debt of 500 M ? !! Leave alone paying it back, I’m really curious how he got all that money ! And the idea that a toy gun would do the trick is hilarious

Why is it hilarious? There are very realistic toy guns available in Japan and if you're a bank worker, likely with very limited knowledge of or experience with guns and someone comes in with one, why would you assume it's fake? It was likely a terrifying situation for whatever teller he approached, anyone else who saw or was involved and for the police too, because they likely have little experience dealing with people with guns. The whole thing could've gone very bad. Yeah, it sounds like a good laugh.

KazukoHarmonyToday  06:56 am JST

Good luck enforcing that.

At the upscale Sembikiya cafe in Omotesando yesterday afternoon, a European family let their two children run wild throughout the establishment, causing one Japanese woman in her early 50s to finally scream 「うるさい」 (Urusai! (Be quiet!)).

I think many in Japan are tired of seeing their peaceful corners disrespected by discourteous guests.

Again, this is hardly limited to overseas tourists. I've been in Denny's and watched Japanese children crawl over booths. I've been basically pushed aside by groups of Japanese schoolchildren moving in large numbers across the sidewalk. I've sat in cafes, unable to hear myself think due to two or three Japanese women talking so loudly you'd think they were all partially deaf. There are polite and rude people everywhere. It just tends to be more noticeable when the rude ones don't blend in with the locals due to their appearance or language.

@Paul - Maybe so, but lets update your comment to 'mannerless Mainland Chinese and Americans' shall we? That would be way more accurate in representing the problem.

How about just update it to mannerless tourists, since they come in all nationalities?

Japan/Kyoto is in a pickle of its own making here. Tourism was strongly promoted overseas, so tourists came and kept on coming. The yen is weak now so Japan has become more affordable for many who could previously never have afforded it. Naturally some of those tourists are going to be polite and some aren't. Also, Japan tends to romanticize the whole geisha thing and for many, it is very exotic and unusual, so it's no wonder people clamor to see them.

I've also seen no acknowledgement of how those tourists are helping to keep alive some of the Japanese crafts, especially those related to kimonos and their accoutrements. Whichever side you fall on the cultural appropriation argument, it's hard to argue that the many tourists shelling out yen to wear kimono, obi, geta, etc. for a day aren't putting money in the coffers of shops that would otherwise go out of business since it's not as if young Japanese are stepping over each other to buy and wear kimonos.

If you were watching an episode of Breaking Bad and Walter White suddenly starts flying, certainly big deal. No basis in reality.

I'd still think someone who had a serious issue with it would be an idiot.

It's a made up story. Anyone who thinks anything more than 'what a bad story', and gets all hung up on wokeness, be the same as chicken little whining about the sky falling; A low-intelligence moron.

Not to mention, how many times were eyes rolled when some man gets hit by a car, stands up as if nothing has happened and starts running? Or, a man gets his head punched or hit numerous times and seemingly suffers no consequences? Or, a man gets shot and carries on as if it's nothing but a flesh wound? Or, a man acquires superhuman strength and is able to pull someone back into a helicopter, window, balcony, etc. with just one arm. Or, a man goes to another country, one he's never visited before, and somehow knows exactly what they need in order to make their lives better. Or, when a man can drive a car or motorbike at ridiculous speeds, on busy roads and never lose control. But sure, it's wokeness and unrealistic when it involves a woman. Yes, how terrribly annoying for all of you preferring your unrealistic movie & television characters be men.

Yeah, I'm not getting through. Let's make it obvious for you two.

If you were watching an episode of Superman and he suddenly starts flying, no big deal. That's his alien power. No basis in reality.

If you were watching an episode of Breaking Bad and Walter White suddenly starts flying, certainly big deal. No basis in reality.

Can't you see the difference between the two 'no basis in reality'?

I don't think this is a case of you not being able to make your point. I think this is a case of posters not agreeing with the point you're making.

Yep, there it is. 120lbs with arms like chopsticks yet all the far bigger and stronger men are frightened of her, and allow her to yell at them in patronizing tones that would give feminists a heart attack were the shoe on the other foot. Maybe our man Vinnie will take her out with one flick.

Posted in: Girls Be Ambitious See in context

Quo PrimumMar. 6  09:02 am JST

That's right, girls -- be ambitious!

The heavy-industry factories, oil rigs, stone-cutting shops, warehouses, loading docks, underground sewer systems, construction sites, sewage treatment plants, outdoor electrical lines, plumbing jobs ... they all eagerly await you!

These jobs are in pretty high demand, and they're almost exclusively performed by men; women seem to have little or no interest in them.

Gee, I wonder why.

Being purposely obtuse does nothing to further your argument, whatever that is. Wanting equal opportunities does not mean that women think they are biologically equal to men and by equal I mean exactly the same, not as in terms of a contest. If there are woman who are capable of doing those jobs and want to do them, then they should be allowed the opportunity, just as capable men should be allowed to teach young children, work as nurses or flower arrangers, if that's what they desire. Feel free to continue pretending you don't understand what equal opportunity means as the world passes by your stuck-in-the-stoneage-backward-looking self.

One more thing:

This whole situation is all the more reason for men and women to wait till marriage before having sex.

There is just way too much possibility of sex getting a person in trouble. Too much possibility of it ending up being carried out with the wrong person.

Keeping it within marriage totally eliminates the many negative consequences of irresponsible, "casual" sex.

You realize you can be raped within a marriage, don’t you?

Also, why not take your idea to its logical extreme and just keep the sexes completely separated?

Posted in: 84-year-old man arrested for assaulting wife after argument over box of sweets See in context

WesleyToday  01:00 pm JST

Police said the man told them his wife got angry at him for buying a gift box of sweets for a friend without consulting her.

Wife sounds very controlling. 

He has a right to buy whatever he wants without asking for her permission.

But he does not have a right to assault his wife, hence the arrest.

The wife may be controlling. The husband may be a cheater. We don’t know the full story. Regardless, it’s really gross and disturbing the way that some posters always seem to make this sort of situation into a joke or to find a way to blame the victim.

Posted in: Ito removed from Japan squad at Asian Cup over sexual assault claims he denies See in context

owzerFeb. 3  09:17 pm JST

Learned something else today. Apparently the soccer organization removed him because he had extramarital relations - not because he may or may not have raped anyone. But that's still a load of cr*p because if it's illegal, he'll get punished, if it's not, then MYOFB.

I would imagine there are similar terms in place for the national team.

“The J.League rule provides that ‘[players] shall not conduct any activity that interferes with J.League’s objective achievement and that is contrary to the public order and morals’, and if the player violates this clause, the player can be sanctioned by the J.League. Player contracts also stipulate that if the player violates any criminal laws or corrupts the morals of his or her club, the club may sanction the player or terminate his or her contract.

The NPB rule provides that the ‘Club, Commissioner or both can impose fines, or suspend the player for a certain period of time due to any player’s misconduct’. However, in contrast to contracts in the J.League, there is generally no morality clause in individual player contracts.

These provisions are executed from time to time, and players have been sanctioned according to these clauses.”

This is too much power for women. No amount of money or punitive damages can make up for opportunities lost. Any successful man is a target for women to marry. If he dismisses them, these women are left with the feeling that they were entitled to a life by his side. 

Hahahaha! Oh my goodness! Thanks for the laugh. You should be sure to let all the women stalked, harassed, assaulted and murdered by men know that they simply have too much power.

Furthermore, what happened to innocent until proven guilty? Men have the right to break up with women who feel are not a good match. At least with Jonathon Majors, Disney didn't fire him until the verdict. I know some sponsors ditched him, but that's not your job.

Sports and entertainment are businesses and the owners have every right to let go people who they feel are going to be detrimental to those businesses.

Men need to mobilize for better legislation to protect any man from accusations. Especially vindictive accusations. You take away my dream, so I take away yours.

Mobilize by aiming to control more of the world’s corporations and governments than they already do? Oh, wait. No, that’s women who have too much power, right?

Again, thanks for the laugh. I nearly split my sides.

From what I've seen of Ito in interviews he seems very polite and well mannered. Hard to believe he is behind these heinous crimes.

While I agree with the presumption of innocence, I’d find your last statement laughable if it weren’t such a dangerous misconception. How does one being polite and well mannered in an interview have anything to do with whether or not they’re capable of sexual assault?

Desert TortoiseToday  04:51 am JST

I hope the boy finds a much better home because his mother has no responsibility whatsoever.

I have real heartburn with that statement. The mother needs help. The government should not be tearing a child from his mother, even a mother with problems. It becomes traumatic for both the parent and the child and does neither any good. The mother needs to grow up, yes, but the consequences should not be the loss of her child. She needs to be taught how to be a responsible mother and that is doable.

Yes, and I'd be interested in knowing what the father's role is in this boy's life since it's hard to make a child by oneself.

Youth crime is not Japan's fault.

Every country has some weird people.

This percentage is low, which is why Japan is said to have a high level of civility.

Now, I pointed out that trivial matters like this don't make the news in China or Korea, but it's a characteristic of Koreans that they get angry when faced with the facts.

If it's wrong, all you have to do is refute it with data or news.

I think you’ve got it backwards. You’re the one making claims about Koreans and Chinese, claims that have absolutely nothing to do with this article, so the onus is on you to prove your statement with data and facts and not just anecdotal evidence.

“The Medical Practitioners Act forbids doctors from refusing any request for examination or treatment without just cause. “

I guess I’m just confused as to how she got pregnant being any of the doctor’s concern. She didn’t ask him to get her pregnant. She’s already pregnant and needed care. It’s completely baffling to me as to how a doctor could justify this.

It is a very common thing in Japan but a seven year old kid should not be home alone. Glad she was not injured but she has suffered trauma that she may never get over.

This is not common in any developed nation. This is horrific and a serious worry for any parent. 

A stranger forcing their way into your home to assault your children?! Damn.

Are you trying to be funny or do you seriously not understand that Lindsay is saying that the common thing in Japan is young children being home alone? Lindsay is NOT saying that the common thing in Japan is young children being assaulted by strangers.

Thats what thugs are despite their nationality. I don’t discriminate, just observe what’s happening and if the facts are hurtful to some, I just don’t care.

Not caring doesn’t make your comments any less disgusting but you already know that, however you’re now choosing to qualify them.

Thats your choice, how about Ian Brady or Fred West? Maybe you would use other words but you get the gist right? West? Maybe you would use other words but you get the gist right?

Really? You’re going to use a serial killer to justify your comments about a nationality? The “gist” I get is that you’re okay dehumanizing people. Keep digging. You’re obviously used to carrying your own shovel.
