Soldave I believe it's the "trespassing" charge he is denying, on the grounds that the school sports days are open to the public. Since he's been convicted in the past of posting pictures of children on a pornographic website, I'm guessing that's the reason for assuming these pictures were also…

“You can stretch your legs out and drink alcohol, it’s great. You can’t do this every day"

Load of rubbish! the 8:00am shink to Nagoya is full of "mature" salarymen stretching, cracking beers and eating those disgusting, smelly dried squid things for breakfast!

I can appreciate the scam, though, after…

I don't know if anyone is already doing this... The trains moving through the tunnels create strong winds, and the tunnels are fitted with fans to extract smoke in the event of a fire or other disaster. Bearing in mind I'm neither a physicist nor an engineer, would it be…

Excellent to see these people standing up for themselves and the rights of their murdered loved ones. I wish them every success.

Erm... they said they locked the van and they said it was still locked when they returned. Sounds to me like a couple of dimwits screwed-up, allowed an opportunistic thief to walk away with the money, and then lied to cover their butts. They really don't sound smart (or organized)…

I think if I was subjected to sexual abuse by a police officer in my own apartment, the last thing I would do is call more cops...

What a sad, sorry little man it is who can't handle the sight of a bit of underwear drying on the line without…

jbro888- Apart from the "cultural" aspect of shaming a company there is also a strong legal one: all employment contacts in Japan contain a clause concerning behavior which may bring the company into disrepute. That means that if you are arrested for a social offense, such as groping, and your…

My childhood was dominated by "Public Information" films on TV about such subjects as playing near railway lines, crossing the road, talking to strangers and wearing seatbelts. I really think Japan needs more of this information... I haven't seen these films for 30 years but I still remember them clearly…

What are you guys talking about? This isn't a question of how many women he can realistically keep on the go, it's a question of how many he can be married to at one time! He couldn't go through with this wedding because he was ALREADY MARRIED, a fact that…
