Milk! No one in the family drinks the stuff but me. I buy the 178 yen skim stuff, the wife buys the 289 yen whole milk and then never drinks it.
It all goes in cereal so I don't care if it's whole or skim.

OK, tell the truth. How many read this, but did not want to comment?
By the way, her award does not look like it's the correct design for her line of work. Then again.

Taiwan wants explanation of murder suspect's suicide while in custody.
"requested through a diplomatic channel that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police report on the “truth”
You want the truth? The POS knew he was going to burn for this and took his own life. And yes, the Japanese police need a little tweaking in other areas, besides bicycle checking and speed traps.

The circus is in town.
"not reporting 400 million yen of his own money that he loaned to his funding body in 2004 to facilitate a land deal,"
Wonder if this land deal would be in Okinawa, somewhere north of Futenma?

Guess what? She's going to listen to you less as she gets older.
Then guess what? She might start banging your head against the floor!
It could become a pattern of DV.

"Why 3 shots...? If 1 shot is enough to put him down"...
Have you ever had a gun pointed at you?
Can you tell you hit your target before the target returns fire?
We were not there so it is a hard call to make from the safety of your own home.
"In my day kids brought toy guns to school all the time, teachers and principals dealt with it if they felt it was too inappropriate".
What day was that?
I have several airsoft guns and if I tried to walk down any town USA or Japan and point it at a cop, I would expect a harsh answer for my actions. Toy guns are made to look very real and if they don't have the required red tip in the US, you will be dealt with.

Did anyone really want to go back for the funeral?
If so, how did Japan stop them?

Yes and in other countries, your ass would be ran over.
How is someone being pissed that you are walking against the red light lead you to believe that this is "abuse"?
Now did the guy not make it all the way across and the light changed red and the old guy said something? We will never know.

"cost the metropolitan government $950,000 a year for the next decade".
Does not cost the government anything, it cost the tax payer to have a small percentage of the people to be able to see them.
Spend the money on something more of value to serve all.
