Yes, but if you do that, you could get arrested for preventing a public official from doing their job or something like that.

Anyway, if you have nothing to hide, why be worried about 5 minutes of inconvenience?

the police here actually need to arrest you or have a warrant to search your bags or pockets without your permission.

If that is the case, then perhaps you could explain how they are constantly going around Roppongi searching anyone who looks a bit suspicious.

Cleo, I thought you would have known by now that it's pointless arguing with certain people on here. It's far easier just to say yes, Japan is bad. All Japanese are crazy. Crime rate is soaring. Japanese police are rubbish. My home country where I no longer live is far…

It took five minutes from when the guy ploughed his truck into the people, to when he was arrested. I'd say that the police did well to get the subject under control so quickly.

North London, I think they'd already qualified by the time he took over (or was only in charge for one game) and he proudly proclaimed that Japan would get 4 points from their group. They got none.

He was an idiot, and in my opinion he still is.

Still at least no-one could accuse you of being paranoid...

Once rare, stabbing attacks have become more frequent in Japan in recent years as violent crime has increased.

Yes, it's becoming more frequent but it still doesn't happen a lot. And since the last time this happened (2001), I wonder how many people have gone on rampages in the US?…

Fair dinkum:

Are you for real? Isn't the IWC's main point to stop 'commercial' whaling?

No.

Actually the rescuers got to the site the next morning and a Japanese helicopter had already been to the site but due to the bad weather he'd reported that there was no sign of survivors.

I used to live on the DenenToshi line and on a few occasions fights broke out between Japanese Commuters. Sometimes it was nothing more than a shove, other times punches have been thrown.

A couple of times people tried it on with me and I've found that a good hard…
