Yes, yes. S.Koreans = Whiny Children. We all get it now.

Also, it's known that Japan cannot legally recapture the island, because the island is currently controlled by S. Korea, and Japan's constitution restrics her use of military force very strictly.

I don't know about this. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I think Japan would ever try to retake…

Shame? For preferring to give the child a chance at life rather then just flushing them down the toilet? Myself I think this is a great thing. And like Rjd said, finally a step in the right direction.

I think that is a bit extreme. In fact I'd go so far as to say, I think the grandmother if nothing else should have the right to occasionally visit her grandkids, even if their father doesn't.

Like others, I pretty much quit going to MDN after they got rid of Wai Wai. Although it was just tabloid type journalism, it was occasionally interesting, and sometimes reported on problems that almost never get reported normally. Myself, I was disappointed to see them cave on this issue.

lol, suppose that is true. Rising fuel prices will solve most of the problems, one way or another.

Regarding the Islands. I really couldn't care less. I understand why the Japanese Government doesn't want to let the matter rest. Especially since it wasn't even until the 50s when Korea decided to claim the stupid rocks.

The ones suffering in this, are the families that would have hosted the…

Yeah, is just feel good nonsense. Will have no effect on criminals, only law abiding citizens will be forced to give up their knives. And it won't have any effect on stopping the occasional nut who goes on a rampage either. They'll just grab a screwdriver, a pair of scissors,…

Molenir: so, .. on your planet there are fathers who probably 'deserve' to be killed by their children, it seems. Must be a sad spot.

Welcome to the real world. Yes, there are people who are technically fathers who I wouldn't have any problem seeing dead. Fathers who abuse their…
