In 1980 Paul McCartney was arrested at Narita for bringing in 218g of pot when he arrived for a concert tour with Wings. He was held for 10 days, then released without charge and deported. He was told never to come back to Japan but was allowed to do so…

More evidence that in every country, the people in charge of immigration laws and administration are the most heartless, mindless and notoriously corrupt creeps. While thousands of people are trafficked and traded under their noses every day, these lice would rather waste time and money dragging this poor woman and…

The losers who commit these crimes should be the ones standing in stations handing out fliers.

The arrogance of these self-absorbed graffiti vandals is unbelievable. They creep around in the dark painting subhuman daubs on other people's property and then try to justify their furtive scribbling as art. Pathetic.
