This comes around every few years and goes precisely nowhere. JST needs to be shifted one hour forward permanently plus one hour DST in the summer but it's never going to happen.

It's only a matter of time before someone carrying one of these is shot by police who believe it to be real. But, if they are within their rights to carry one then I suppose it's OK.

Wow Scott, I didn't think anyone would take me seriously. However..........
No, not any more.
If they are old enough to go to school then they don't need a pushchair/stroller. If they are younger then use a kindergarten close to home.
True but that begs the question; shouldn't professional couples who decide to have children nominate one parent to take a few years off to take care of their kids rather than farm them out to carers for 5 days a week?
Seriously, yes you're right, that would be unworkable/unfair etc. However there are parents who use the trains with strollers who don't give a toss about anyone but themselves; huge strollers for one small child, carry far more paraphernalia than is necessary to take care of one baby for a few hours, block the doors.
I still think that my last suggestion about making them use the women only cars is valid though.

A better solution would be to keep the strollers,whether containing children or dogs, off the trains altogether during rush hours, say 0730h to 0930h and 1700h to 1930h. Alternatively, only allow them to use the women only carriages so all the eeeh kawaii ne noise is in the same place.

Better that he was a coward and fled than stay and inflict further damage. Somebody somewhere knows who this might be but sadly people here are very backward in coming forward.

Something that has just occurred to me and I have no idea if it is at all practical: If the contaminated water is left in large shallow open pools then the water will slowly evaporate, as in salt pans etc. and leave behind anything which has been dissolved in the water. Is the water vapour which evaporates into the atmosphere dangerous or is it just water and nothing else? If it is OK then the remaining radioactive residue will be much easier to deal with being of much smaller volume. Is it practical to do this?

Quite. Yubaru; please tell us how the US makers are being disadvantaged by the Japanese market rather than by their own product strategy, quality etc. The only half-decent US vehicle sold in Japan is Jeep.

Bag it up and drop it in the Marianas Trench. The Pacific Ocean is vast and a few hundred thousand tons of contaminated water would be insignificant.

Unbelievable! The police here are pathetic, useless, an embarrassment to the government. The police should spend their time trying to catch the perpetrators rather than surveying for a new name for the crime.

Re-design the stores and use more staff so that people don't have to wait in long lines would be a better solution.

100% agree. Perpetrators should have their aerosol cans inserted where the sun doesn't shine and then be forced to clean up their mess and then go to jail for a couple of years.

So you are a supporter, or at least tolerant, of hazing? Please tell us what is the point of this behaviour?
If one of my kids was on the receiving end of hazing the perpetrators, and maybe their parents, would be answering to me personally.

The three countries already cooperate on air pollution; China produces it, Korea and Japan suffer from it. Nothing will come of this, just more hot air.
