**The daughter, and the baby's father, have taken responsibility and will have the baby. ***

They have NOT taken the responsibility. They will if they actually educate the brat, which is far for being done. The mother Sarah has abandoned the special need Trig baby 2 days after his birth…

***Once a man, always a man

Precisely, Ayana never was a man and always felt she was a woman, even when she was wearing the family jewels. So for me, she can mutilate her body, get the look she wants and live as a woman. The proverb says : If…

TheNewZen, they would sell mushrooms legally in kampo shops in Kansai, which was not shocking as in my country herborists would also sell them in the past. Before idiots became addicted to it and poisoned themselves, there was no reason to oulaw those mushrooms in any country. In Japan kampo…

I'm tired to read foreigners are the ones selling and buying the dope in Japan. This is an invention. In Osaka, you can go to Namba every night, you'll see 99,99999% of the pimps, drug dealers and other yakuza have Japanese faces, Japanese looks and probably are Japanese,if not they…

I find those systems absolutely disgusting. Weight is not the only issue. People are different. What about tall people that need more leg space ? Do they need to reserve the seat in front of them too ?

I agree "jail forever" is not as cruel as "Japanese style death penalty". If you are innocent, you can hope the former will be overturned. Well in Japan I doubt justice administration ever recognize its blunders, so in that case, yes, that's as cruel.

No iced drinks for me. Eating ice is good. Drinking it is bad. You're free to disagree and get upset stomach.

Reasonably cool drinks : water, reiko, sobacha, mugicha, Lady Grey, reiko, fresh made oolong cha, reiko, unsweeted lemonade... Hot teas, sencha, bancha, mint tea (the real stuff, after meal,…
