It's not that serious; it's not like the dude took a leak on Yanai's house or anything.

It's all pretty relative - to a section of the Japanese press, stuff like this is worth reporting. For the foreign press, some guys who stole a snowboard, 12,000 yen and a TV or whatever barely compares to general crime that goes on in their own countries.

ebisen (and everyone else screaming blue murder for “picking on a 9-year-old”) , the criticisms here aren't aimed at Aiko – it’s the blatantly obvious over-reaction and mollycoddling shown by the girl’s parents in taking her to hospital for having a cold, among other things.

I expect they'll get the 'royal discount' on the hospital fees then. Get well soon (so you don't continue to waste even more hospital resources!)

This is completely misunderstood - she's clearly offering Kisu, the fish. I hope it's tempura.

some14some - somehow I don't think any of these factories are going to make an overall gain from these floods.

harper - sorry for my inappropriate comment. It should just be off with Philip's head - the Queen is alright.

If you're a middle-aged guy getting this done, you are definitely at a low point.

I feel like we're going to get into a long debate here, but anyway.... Despite what 'other countries' may define it as, Atheism is not a religion - as you say, it denies the existence of a God, and religion in general. People defining it as a religion are totally missing the point - if I support Miami Heat, and you say you don't like basketball and don't support any team, are you a basketball fan? No, you're not. Same thing with religion and atheism.

I feel like I've read this article about 1000 times before. Japan is good because nobody really cares about religion . The end.

Is V from V For Vendetta a superhero? Not sure if the character would want to be classed as that, but he's my favorite if we're counting him in.

Qomolangma, I can't actually tell if you're being serious or not with that 'manifesto.' It seems like you're speaking soley in clichés. Anyway, in a nutshell the protests are largely a load of rubbish - basically blind opportunitism to join a protest because it was trending on Twitter or something.
