"As for diesels, you haven't mentioned the problems with fine particles from diesel engines causing respiratory illness".
I can't remember exactly where I saw it, but some Japanese company (once again I can't remember the name in this case) will be releasing some "clean" diesel in 2011 (I think). That was in a very recent newspaper paper article.

Due to his time off work I wonder if the guy had some chronic disease or something that prompted his wife to kill him.

This article is truly funny. Can it really be true though? It just boggles the mind. Part-time yakuza and they meet in fast-food restaurants?
I'm going to keep away from MOSburger now as I saw these 4 guys with sunglasses in the corner eating their burgers and talking in hushed voices now I know they might be yakuza.

I think she is just not plain right in the head. Fair enough if she wants to do it 5 times a day, no one (not many I hope) will complain about that. But to brag about it at an AIDS awareness concert seems pretty daft, and I hope she promote her favourite supplier of condoms. From the article it just appears (to me anyway) that she was only out for some self-advertising.

I had their money, there is no way in the world I would ever open my mouth and tell people how much I have.

That is one thing that has always bothered me with fly-by-wire, if something happens, you can really be in trouble. But I doubt that is the problem in this case anyway. I think Airbus is an extremely reliable aircraft and I've always enjoyed flying in them. Anyway, hopefully we'll have some news in few more hours.

Sounds like a pretty effective and simple solution, but it would be better if the kids had better places to go.

I couldn't agree more OneForAll, I seriously doubt that Japan is safe as people claim it to be. My wife, is Japanese, and she thinks Japan is a seriously unsafe country. I've heard so many stories about the police just meeting their monthly quotas and turning a blind eye to the rest.
But in this case, "... about 70 times" is just mindboggling. It certainly must show how much crime goes unreported in this country. Glad I don't have children here.

The real Japan is finally revealing itself. Glad to see Japan is making a fool of itself right in front of the world. This "holier than thou" attitude which Japan loves to flog the world with every August has now proved to be a huge load of bull.

I like Papaya as well, a pretty cool guy. Plus his Oyaji dancers are cool too.

Sukarno has mouth that was created in some dark, forgotten poisonous place. She is hardly a fountain of feminine decorum. She is just filled with spite and viciousness. I've never seen her say a decent word about anyone on television.

"Here, if you're healthy enough for the treatment you get it".
I think you should at least watch some of the shows on Japanese tv, read some newspapers here and you'll get some real information, not just personal anecdotes.
Furthermore, have you ever read stories (which seem to be fairly common) that people get into the ambulance when they have an emergency, but never make it to hospital as that hospital won't take them?

"Why would you be encouraged by a shotgun marriage?".
I'm guessing that she is trying to be humble (to the extreme though), that by saying that if two people can find "love" through a shotgun marriage, there must be hope even for one like herself.

With Hatoyama at the helm, I'm quite sure things will take a rapid dive.

"Offering to pay for her is a huge mistake".
In this day and age, I couldn't agree more.
The other big mistake is forgetting your date's name. Also forgetting your own name is quite bad too I've heard.

I agree with Disillusioned completely. The culture clash here will be immense. I seriously doubt many Japanese will be able to cope with it.

"How silly and desperate can you get?".
Well, that is the level of entertainment and humour that is acceptable in Japan so ...

People get upset and angry because they are too lazy to adapt to the times and try and make things cheapers for others. They just want to keep the status quo ... well, bully for them. Good luck to Google, I hope they do a good job.

From what I've seen and read over the years about this guy, I really hope his wife takes him to the cleaners.
