There does seem to be a bit of an authority vacuum when it comes to dealing with juvies. The cops don't have the historical purview to deal with them, the teachers who had the power have been made toothless and the parents are too busy to actually do any domesticating…

Sad loss of life, though they may have been having the time of their lives up until the end.

They should not have thrown eggs at the people. That is terrible. Gyoza would have made a much better statement.

Sounds like the need to call in Hard Gay Razor Ramon. Only with the aid of Japan's talentless talento can they put this circus sideshow to rest. Maybe they can have a bunch of them dress up in drag and make a contest out of who looks most like Ichihashi…

Love this guy. Loved the restaurant too. Sad it is closing. Isn't the restaurant closing because the building housing it is so old? Definitely an icon of Osaka.

This is serious. I lost 2 teeth, half an arm and both legs while trying to assemble a frickin Norrebo shelving unit. I'll be shopping at Muji from now on.

I wanna see them try and get by the ol' White and Red's first line of defense... fingerprint checks at the border. And even if they do, that thin blue line (the police) will certainly protect the cowering masses. And if all else fails... there is the US military. Perhaps…

I think their attempts are as heartfelt and productive as their attempts at solving just about any crime. Unless the teenage culprits go and deliver themselves to an empty police box, their efforts will be as effective as GWB's governing abilities.

Now that is service. Do the crime, call up and save the cops a whole LOT of hassle. I honestly think they might be getting good at solving these cab murders though. The fact that it's always a military type makes it easier. That sure says something about military types,…

I thought she was great in Babel. The nudity was actually not one of the elements that turned me on to her however. I though she was very believable.
