Not really...a perv's intent will always prevail and he/she will have to do it. If these ladies are in plain clothes they'll catch some.

He was quoted by police as saying: “She was an alcoholic and when I urged her to enter a hospital, she said she would rather die, so I strangled her.”
Geez, I don't think she meant it literally. What a weirdo.

Perhaps...but you ar ein Japan where in otehr parts of the world are not known for their sexual prowess and right size matters, of course, only if you also want to please the partner you chose. And Japanese men (in general) fall short on all 3 from my understanding.
I know a Japanese American that says he is in a losing situation all the way around. Becasue he is American raised the is seen as non-Japanese and because he is Japanese all the perceptions of Asian men in the sexual sense is not a good thing as well. I'm a girl and was not sure what to say to him.

Hey! The great thing about The Beatles is that it is music 101. You can also sing along to most all their songs because you can actually make out what their singing. In addition, their early stuff is a lot of fun. It was made for Rock Band gaming media.
I bought the "Please, Please Me" and "A Hard Day's Night" re-mastered cd's and I wasn't even born when they hit the scene so long ago. Will continue to buy.

Makes people serene??? LOL! Now people will feel even more sleepy when they arrive at work.
Once a person decides to kill themselves no amount of blue light will change it. Perhaps not at the station but elsewhere for sure.

Maybe not... the article says, Nakadani admits to the charges, and was quoted as saying, “I’ve hated my father since I was a child.”
So, I don't think the taking care of him was the issue here.
and...she waited this long. Man, I wonder what made her hold on to such hatred for her father for all these years.

And the Nation is encouraging people to have more kids?????
I could only imagine this type of atrocity increasing with that propspect especially with beatings as are reported more frequently here.

And my nephews complain when I force the issue. Aside from breaking the law, there is good reason to put on your seat belts. Perfect example right here. Fine if adults don't care about themselves but when a child is involved, it drives me up the wall at the irresponsibility that goes on.
Idiocy once again running rampant!

With previous reports looks like Child Services didn't take a closer look at the child. They may have found foundation on her then.
For both parents to use this child as a punching bag for frustations or hatred, who knows or cares, deserve to be used as punching bags themselves and much worse.
I think that when child abuse is a concern or is reported Child Servies needs to involve an MD to check the child out at the hospital before they come to the conclusion of not finding any evidence. This could have been caught much sooner...Poor Child!

When a large majority of the male population is like this how dedicated will the police be if some of them feel the same way?
Hopefully, their superiors are dedicated enough to change this awful state.
It hasn't happened to me and I doubt it will. Will have to take a very courageous J-male. I don't think I come across as a push over. I kind of wish it would. I think a punch or slap in public might do the trick.

He expresses his regret in the letter, “if only I had confronted her at the time,” and says he cannot forgive Noriko’s husband, Yuichi Takaso, for making his sister a drug user.
Yep! I'm sure the guy forced them down her mouth. No one makes you a drug user. You make that choice on your own.

isthistheend...I totally agree. Maturity vs. non-maturity.
This 38 year old guy sure sounds like a perv to me. Not to say he deserved to die as he did but he sure needed the law to nail him.

"Taiji residents say they have killed whales and dolphins for hundreds of years as part of their fishing lifestyle because their region is not fit for rice farming."
With global importation of food and national access of other foods isn't this an excuse for the continuation of this type lifestyle? It is no longer a necessity but yet they still do it.

I thought Japanese kids are always engaged in many school activities that it would be difficult for them to get into this. Sad, that these kids do not report these incidents when approached by males for the sake of being used like this.

Tough penalities and counseling for the people who bully. They need to take some responsibility for pushing someone off the deep end.
