Something doesn't add up here. I'd like to know what happened after he crashed the car into the station - was he taken out the back and "interrogated" by any chance? Was the old telephone-book-up-the-jumper interrogation technique used? I wonder if this is all captured on CCTV?

They can make more than just pockets "pop-up" - I can tell you that from experience!

Are you on the TEPCO payroll?

Pay up, TEPCO! And stop thinking about the bottom-line and the miserable shareholders: those two factors are unimportant. This crisis will probably finish off these old fellas like Mr. Ando.

Ha ha - OK, pretty late, my grammar is all over the shop! Basically, what I'm saying is not to be afraid of flatmates, arrestpaul (or seesaw). I'm pretty sure being killed by your flatmate (by a baseball bat no less) is not a run-of-the-mill, everyday event. Heck - you may just save some money in the long-run if you live in a mega-expensive rental city like Sydney, Tokyo or London - and share a flat.

Had a lot of flatmates in my time, arrestpaul...still alive, buddy! In places like the UK and Aust. it is common to move in with flatmates, house-shares etc with people you have only just met. A few of them can be damn annoying (ie steal your food and CDs!) but most are perfectly fine - you have more chance of getting killed in a car accident than getting killed by them, let me allay your fears.
Granted, maybe in the Japanese situation there may be more of the creepier "otaku" types...

Do you live in a cave? Never heard of the concept of flatmates?

The fact is, Kan would have been ousted regardless of the triple disasters. He has had his go - time for the turn of the revolving door that is the hilarious farce of Japanese politics. Another no-hoper will be installed - and will only last 6 months - guaranteed. Japanese "democracy"...ha ha ha ha ha!

I see your point - but at least we get to elec the politicians. As I said - I wouldn't mind "royalty" as neutral figureheads - if we the citizens were allowed to elect them.

Bear in mind many of these people have been unable to work, have to care for their families - and have bills, loans etc to pay. With a few hundred thousand people, I don't think ALL creditors are kind enough to waive all debts.
Also, some of them want to go out occasionally to restaurants and cinemas to break the mind-numbing boredom of their present conditions. Every little bit helps - Bless these donors!

You are right Mayuki - but I wished everyone a Merry Christmas on here last year and got flamed by some non-Christians if I recall!

If Monarchies were more democratic - for example you voted for people who could become the monarch - and those people could be of different ethnic or religious backgrounds - I may support them on the basis of them making tourist money. Until that happens, they won't have my support, as much as I respect Akihito and Eliabeth II for example.

Happy Easter everyone. Hope you enjoyed some chocolate! (BTW, no offence intended toward the Muslims, Buddhists, Jews etc)

By that statement , I mean it is uncommon for friends to abandon other friends in situations like this and the Oshio case...there is no likely risk of arrest.

Not necessarily. These drugs are illegal in most countries (if not all) - however in some places ie Aus. UK, incidents like this are rare - in relation to the amount of users anyway. The police do not get involved (usually) in situations where friends call an ambulance for their buddy who has overdosed. It saves lives. Not that I am defending these 3 people - I am hoping for some serious prison time for all of them. Rest in Peace to the poor girl.
