  Love Heavy Metal, love the sound of a Harley passing by, love the dawn chorus in summer, love the water of the stream that runs through my garden, love to sit in the beer garden of the pub at the end of runway 1 at Heathrow airport & count the rivets as the planes come & go. But one child with its random high pitched yelps will have me reaching for the air-rifle/katana/grenades before you know it. And I have been this way all my life - it's not an age thing! 'Children should be seen and not heard' as my father used to quote. Only wish they didn't have to be seen either. Children are our future? What future do we have on this planet when people keep breeding recklessly at the rate they do?

  'Wielding' does not imply random - it means 'actively using a weapon', so not so confusing. Either way, said husband was obviously confused...

  Equality -

  Its amazing what bias you can create with a bit of editing isn't it?

  I think in between those two phrases you forgot to include:

  “But this constant fear — we knew of all those poisoning rumors and could never enjoy the food. Every day we feared it was going to be our last meal.”

  When I arrived in Japan not only did I have to learn some Japanese, but also American English!

  I was a stunned mullet when I heard a fellow teacher say 'good Job' to a student. When I was a small child I remember (yes I do) sitting on the potty and being told to do a 'job'. When I did I was praised. To hear a North American repeat "good job, good job!" I had no idea what he was referring to! Finally I realised: he meant 'well done'...

  Bigger cups? Hell's teeth, less water would do the trick - the coffee might be slightly more than pale brown water and have some taste - and no-one gets their pinkies burned!

  Just remembered our mongrel, Luigi Boy, who months before he died of old age kept on looking out on the street as if waiting for us to return. Haven't been home for 3 yrs now as I'm still financially crippled eversince I was laid off last 2009

  Not quite sure what you're getting at there trinklets2.... Either way, no matter, you had a dog that loved you. My cat still waits at the door, 5 months on, for other kitty (who was killed) to come home. I find the pure grief of an animal far more heart-rending than human grief/longing.

  Just as McArthur said:

  "Japan is a nation of children".

  I despair...

  He was quoted by police as saying he stripped off because he finds women’s reactions “exciting,”

  Pity he didn't have the 'balls' to flash a Western woman - unlike J-birds who would most likely shriek, look shocked and run away, the majority of Western women would either: 1. Remain polka-faced. 2. Burst out laughing. 3. Kick him in the family jewels.

  Not exactly the excitement he was hoping for I'll wager.

  "I can't understand the frankly sexist comments on this thread. "

  Oh StanD up and be a man Stan. And get a grip on human nature - especially male human nature.

  "How do they know he's not going to stab them or rape them?"

  Well, they don't - that is an uncertain future possibility.

  They had salad cream thrown over them - nasty, they had to wash their clothes and hair, but, really it could have been much a worse toss. They must learn to get over it if they want to survive in this world. I got something tossed on me when I was young. Nasty, I had to wash my face. I got over it in ... oh, several minutes.

  ...A traditional Japanese wind chime and a mint leaf dangle between the cups giving an impression of cooling 'by way of its refreshing fragrance and sound.' ...

  Now I may be casting aspersions here, but surely, in a country where a large percentage of the female population sport nothing more than two fried eggs, only a man can come up with a design that purports to 'dangle between the cups'. There must be an awful lot of gel and wire there to create a 'between the cups', as any woman who wears an 'A' cup and tries to muster up a cleavage could tell you.

  Can't wait for the kotatsu winter version.
