I'm not a fan or her or the Beatles, but I heard a track of hers a coupla years ago on an indie rock playlist I downloaded. It wasn't half bad. Kinda liked it. Won't be buying her album, but I imagine there is probably a track or two worth listening to.

7 years? Isn't that also the penalty for murder in this country? Hmmmmm. Perhaps that is only for murdering a family member.

I need a picture to truly care about this quote. Then I can judge how stupid she sounds.

Better to meet them in the parking lot than meet them by the cliffside bluffs like the guy from a couple of years ago. The toughs in that case kinda forced the guy into jumping to his death.
I just don't understand these guys though. Why don't they just go out and get themselves an 18-year-old hooker and pretend she's 15 if that's their kink. Is the 3 years really all that noticeable under dim lighting and a sailor moon getup? And the guy in this case was 20? He should have been doing this stuff a few months ago when he was still 19. Idjit.

I knew a girl who hit four cars the first time she reversed out of her driveway with her learners permit. I can see how an idiotic accident could spin out of control and reach the realm of ludicrous. I feel sorry for the people who died, but I also feel sorry for him. He will have to live with what he's done. Bad day indeed.

weatherjp said: BBLeo: read the article again. You've got it all wrong. Hint: "stressed out from work" does not mean "stressed from being out of work"
Nope, "Stressed out from being out of work" is the excuse he will use the next time he gets caught banging an underage whore. After that it will be the alcohol that leads him astray.

IcingDeath: "I seriously hope this is a prototype that will lead to something more useful."
It certainly does. T-34 will lead directly to the T-1000 Terminator model which will come to visit us in a past that is not yet written to try and create a future that we must do anything to avoid. There was a documentary made about it a few years back. check it out.

Tough situation to deal with. Too bad the J-government has no intention of actually resolving it. Who would they use to stir up resentment and create the myopic world view they need to stay in power?

I love the guy in the background looking directly into the camera. "Why are they taking a picture of me?"

Wow! Despite their titles as Best Jewelery Wearerists, the ladies in black should be getting something for the Worst Dresserist. Truly hideous. They remind me of a coupla car accidents I witnessed in the mid-80s.

Where are all the people from the other story about the JHS girls assulting other kids? Where is the defense of this rapist? "All he needs is a loving and supporting environment, not punishment" Blah. Blah. Blah. Put this guy in a cell with the two chicks and see who comes out on top and then charge them. Simple Battle Royal trick. Love the hypocrisy of it all though. Girls assulting people... no problem, it's a social issue. Boy doing it... he's a sicko pervert and should be decapitated. I'm for the latter myself, for the whole lot of them.

Soldave... that was hysterical. F-MeLOL. Considering this incident took place on Dec 10, I don't doubt revenge hasn't been sought already.
Seriously though, what kind of bully uses the old, "I didn't like his attitude" excuse for being a dick. There must be something lost in translation there. "He was far too sharp and acute for my liking, so I made him drink from the fire hose." Jeez.

Disillusioned... the bag didn't say "steal me"it was actually one of those sacks with the dollar sign on it. They thought the "$" instead of the "¥" on the side would fool just about anybody. Oh well, next plan... a horse drawn carriage with a "no bandits" sign attached to the rear.

Hope the parents of the bullies were informed of this news. Too late to make a difference, but it is always good to know what you've raised.

I'm a little stumped as to why my ol Speedo stopped selling big bottles of soda water. I'm not talking about American Soda Pop, I'm talking bubbly water. I've also always wondered how this affects diet. Is soda water healthy for you? Bad for you? Or does it have little impact on health? Anyways, I'm amazed that few Japanese drink soda without alcohol. It is really like a sugar-free party in your mouth. Awesome.

Is this natural for these lemurs? Hmmmmm, I hate zoos and places like this. Unless of course cage matches and gambling are allowed. Then I'm in. I'd love to see a pack of hungry lemurs take on a gorilla. Anyone know if JMC arranges these kinds of evenings?
