Bravo LFR. Montblank should know better than to chastise the masses for making assumptions and then rapidly fire off a series of assumptions himself. Terrible. Not as bad as the mother and John in this article, but terrible.

Hey Weedkila, Interestingly, I agree with you. But just wanted to add that the concept of "movable type" was first introduced by the Chinese, long before ye olde printing press. Perhaps this is payback for what Gutenburg ripped off of them.

Can't wait for the suspended sentence on this one. After all, she has another child to take care of.

I wonder how he was caught? I'm guessing she spilled the beans. Hope the people running the website are charged, along with the service provider and any phone companies involved in passing messages along. Everyone except the little whore should be charged. Kids will be kids after all.

If there is one thing I can't stand it is a connected Carnie. Sends chills up my spine.

A simple case of "Whoever smelt it, dealt it." Resign LDPers! And I hope your constituents are screaming bloody murder for your behaviour!

Even the models look unappealing. I read somewhere that if you combined all the sales of non-Apple tabs sold around the world it doesn't even dent Apple's market share. Sony should come out with another Betamax, just to really demonstrate how stupid they are.

To Yongyang's point, it would be interesting to see how many infanticides and child murders (by parents) occur in Japan and compare it to other similar data. I have read and followed news in other countries, but have never seen as many cases as here in Japan. That said, Japan Today ain't exactly Fox News, though it sure loves to stir the pot. And what better way to do it than print these stories whenever they rear their ugly heads? Still, from a purely observational position (and this goes beyond reading solely about child killings to include things like letting a 4-year-old wander around in the middle of the night to sticking babies in the storage compartment of a scooter), the Japanese sure do hate their children. So sad! RIP little man.

Not in Japan it wouldn't. Any drug smacking of fun will only be banned in Japan, unless it is Viagra, of course.

Sakurala... things must have change in the last 5 years (which would be remarkable for Japan0. It took me five days (two of them were a Sat/Sun) to get my spousal visa. Lickety split. I wonder what made you so suspect?

Riots, aka protests, and much more can develop for legitimate reasons, so the answer is no. Clamping down on these types of expression can stop change that needs to happen. I am sure Paul Revere would have agreed. Just imagine the British had outlawed horses back in the day. North America would all be like Canada. Hmmmm, maybe that wouldn't be so bad, eh!

Posted in: The British government is considering giving police the power to use technology to control future unrest, by stopping rioters using Twitter, Facebook or BlackBerry Messenger to organize themselves. Would you support such measures?

Thanks GW. I knew back in 2003 that something like this was gonna come and bite someone in the arse. I believe at the time I said, "I wouldn't want to be that guy." He must have started the dominoes falling as soon as he walked out the door. And I love to see the republicans blame everyone but themselves for this catastrophe.

Perhaps the cops are starting to take lessons from the NHK man. They could probably learn a lot. Afterall, the NHK man is generally a lot tougher than most J-cops. I was considerably more fearful of NHK than the cops.
