    Seriously what could You have done you walk up to a car and it suddenly acellerates you arent the flash.. if that were possible there would be a reduction in policevchases worldwide. keep an openmind before jumping on the keystone cop bandwagon.

    I agree to be fair it seems it would of been extremely hard for the officer to stop this incident. of course some posters will say shoot the the tires or do some other hollywood tv bs but that isnt the real world. In real life not on your hollywood imanination this type of incident would of been extremly hard to have stop.

    Maybe the fact that they just pulled him over and he was still sitting in the car? and just attempted to begin to ask him questions when he did it had something to do with it? You know police work isn't like what you see in the movies.

    When you buy alcohol or tobacco the register asks “Are you over 20?” Since there often isn’t a “NO” button you’re forced to touch “YES” which simply magnifies how the whole system is – aside from removing any responsibility from the store - completely pointless.<<<

    I don't know about Osaka, but I've never ran into ay register at the store that has asked me for this.

    Barriers WILL NOT reduce the suicide rate in Japan. It will not prevent someone who has decided to kill themselves from going to another station, train company, railway crossing, bridge etc etc.

    Mental health services and education is the key.

    Have women only cars stopped gropers in Japan? Nope. It's a bandage, not a solution.

    I wouldn't blink an eye flying on a 787 and hope to experience it. Fuel leaks from the engines etc might not be the aircraft's fault but engine manufacturer's fault (eg Rolls Royce engine) which also experienced an explosion on the A380.

    "US Masters"? What? Japan at anytime can end the relationship and tell the US forces to pack it up and get out.

    Then when that happens, watch as China sends it's ships and troops onto the Senkaku Islands.

    no traffic light, the mother is not holding her child's hand while crossing and I bet its dark, a car turn left...result accident. When are the mothers of this country ever learn?

    Why blame the mom when it is obvious the driver is at fault. What if the mom was holding the child's right hand? It would not made a difference if you have a car with a driver paying no attention barreling at you, 5 years old or 50 years old.

    190,000 police officers involved in 12 years. That is unheard of...If so many was involved and with all the DNA and modern technology these days, why has this not been solved?

    Because unlike what you see on television and the movies, not everyone's DNA is in some massive computer database where you can instantly check. If the killer doesn't have his DNA on record, then you can't match it. No data means no-one to match it to. Only when or if the killer is caught for another crime, and if their DNA is taken and analyze could there be a match.

    It begs the question, has he ever served as a troop? No? Then why is he inspecting them?

    It's called civilian control over the armed forces/defense forces. Many US presidents have not been in the military either, nor is there any requirement to be.

    Photos like these are there to elicit responses, but this is a normal tradition that has been done many many many times in the past.

    Surehicho station is in the akiba area. as far as the comment on shibuya station, better if you just follow the signs instead of looking down or up, which wont help find you any trainline. historically speaking the asakusa to ueno portion was thr first section of the subway, the shibuya section was built by another company, the forerunrr to todays tokyu railways. not withstanding did you know that much of nyc subway is actually above ground?

    Just because someone is NOT a us citizen or resident doesn't make them immune to US laws. If you as a Japanese or claiming to be Japanese, commit a crime in the US, you are subject to US laws just like anyone else.

    Mr. Chan funneled millions of those dollars through US financial institutions, mainly in and around New York, which is why the Federal charge of Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud was issued against him in New York. Before you jump the gun and start blaming folks for everything, check all the facts first.

    The article didn't say she didn't noticed being cut, she noticed being cut and reported it, but she didn't see who did it. If you ride the train during rush hour you know how many folks bump into and pass each other, she was cut but didn't see who did it.

    One needs to be fair and look at the crime per capita, you got millions of people living in these cities, heck, with Tokyo wit over 12million residents, and a few more million in Tokyo during the day time from other prefectures for work, school etc, 830 purse snatchings is pretty miniscule in the whole grand scheme of things.

    The US is bullying everyone on earth! Their law is the law and other countries law is just rubbish.

    And if you actually read the article, they were fined because they funneled money through their USA based branches.

    If you visit another country or do something in another country you are subject to the laws of that country.

    Many of these surveys are biased towards expatriate business people continuing to live their home countries' lifestyle away from home. The data doesn't really reflect "the average folk" foreigner or even "regular" people.
