Lutfreak:

I haven't heard of orphanages in Japan.

There are actually quite a number of them. The bike club I ride with is in the midst of preparing for a Toys for Tots run for one of them right now.

Joe - the changes that the government has control over were actually implemented by the LDP. The DPJ has only been in power for a little over a month.

I take my son out for little trips like this all the time.

Nothing unusual there.

If they were at the bottom, sounds like they got picked up by some undertow. Tragic, but accidental. A lot of people don't think about wearing lifejackets if they're casting from banks or wading...…

He'll just get a hefty fine, and he'll have to get some other desperate women drunk to pay it off.

Nope. The current law allows for up to three years imprisonment, and in a case where someone has been killed by the drunk driver, maximum sentences will be handed out…

Make sure every beat cop and station security officer has a pair of plastic bags and zip ties to lock the bags over a suspect's hands.

DX/Tune - Once you're arrested, you can be searched. Until then, they can't legally search you. I've refused on several occasions (mainly traffic stops) and only had one cop try to get stubborn about it, but even he relented after about ten minutes.

And for what it's worth, I've been…

Jesus Hoolie. Are you seriously going to criticize the government and/or Japan Highway Public Corporation for not following the initial intentions when it was established in 1956? Are you not aware of what happened to Japan between 1955~1973???? There's been books written about this period in time. C'mon!!!!!

Nigelboy, the tolls were originally purposed with paying off the debt of the original construction, and the tolls were supposed to go away when the debt was paid off -
