NK got it wrong. April Fool's is today, not the 4th.
combinibento is so right. How can Japan start a war while it is simply protecting people from all nations who live in Japan? but we should allow a junky, underperformed satellite to pass over Japan? Didnt other countries try to pursuade NK to not launch!? Let just wipe NK off the map. it is taking too much time. the constant hidden fear of NK "someday" nuking Japan needs to stop.

the decision should soley be from the parents. I believe that anyone prying into other families' affairs destroys the family's dependency on each other. To make a law restricting particular punishments can never be reinforced.
I do remember getting swats on the rear-end by the principal when i was in middle-school. there was no regulations on how to swat. when i got to high school, there was an actual system and protocol. "extend arm out with paddle at 90 degrees, count to 5 and using gravitational pull, touch tush lightly." there was an actual paper on how to swat. it didnt hurt at all, but the embarassment was painful.
I dont think that i would do such punishments when i have children. it is pointless and i personally couldnt live with the guilt what i had done to my child. if my child acts up, i think that would be my fault.
if we turn this around and say that a law was inacted for ALL parents to use corporal punishment (you think only scolding is enough and not use corporal punishment), would you still do what the law requires you to do? no. we are humans and we are not perfect. even prying into other families' affairs isnt perfect either.

they use the economy as an excuse. Perhaps we should ask our boss for a raise due to "economic decline". How can economic decline affect pawns so quickly? excuses, excuses. well ex-sony employees, upload what you have from Sony and sell it to get revenge+money to stay alive. then if caught, you can simply say that you were affected by "economic decline". same thing, is it not?

wait... the girl is dead. why are they passing out photos of the girl and her clothes!? Can anyone recall what a child was wearing that you saw today? Not helpful at all.
What would be a good business is bounty hunting in Japan. surely if someone offered a lot of money, someone would snitch on the murderer.

"Fetishism is a mental condition, that can be cured with support of the community, church and thyerapy."
mmm... no, it cannot. Sexual fetishism, not just fetishism by itself, is not considered a disorder unless it dramatically alters or affects one's life. Stealing used clothing is a crime itself and at the time of this episode, he probably didnt think much about used, dirty clothing. Church will not help. the community will not help (hey, i love dirty clothing! can you help me?). This is something that cannot be cured so easily and it is only him that can cure this even if he attends therapy.
Lets put it in another way. Not all of us target the same desired type of pornography.
people with this type of paraphilia usually do not harm people.
There is excuse for this type of action in which he took. sexual fetishisms go way back into childhood and stem off when such a desired item is not available. He could have felt comfortable and safe with a male figure in his life; possibly from an abused mother or female figure. once that object, in this case olfactory, becomes more desired, one experiences compulsiveness.
We are still animals. perhaps you love the smell of yakitori and you havent eaten meat (or food) for a long time. If someone posted a sign above the yakitori restaurant "warning, do not eat. you will go to jail", surely, you would try to steal some without anyone noticing.
Without even speaking to this man, there is no direct way to diagnose.
When people point fingers stating someone is "sick" or "a risk to society" based on something quite unique and different from the majority, it doesnt mean they have a disability. just a different taste....or smell...
BTW, every human has at least 2 sexual fetishes. if you deny this, i think you should seek help.
