Thank you Mark_McCracken. The correct legal term here is libel and not slander. Slander is spoken, libel is written. The posting of addresses is another issue entirely (invasion of privacy and tortious).

Just because I object to it doesn't mean that I'm some kind of right-wing conspiracy theorist. Gosh...

Why should Emperor Akihito have to stand in the shadow of Emperor Hirohito? What is the purpose of revisiting the resentment and recriminations that died in 1945 (when Japan formally surrendered)? Subjecting the Emperor and Empress to this is ridiculous, not to mention undignified and unnecessary. I hope that this…

In the US the key question would be how much was the person actually making at the time of "her" injury and what would "her" future earnings have been. That would probably reflect the same wage discrimination inherent in the market place. Just food for thought to those enlightened individuals…

Many of the tourists visiting Tsukiji conduct themselves with as much restraint as a four-year-old at a petting zoo. They will take pictures of themselves poking or even petting the fish on display, which is both unsanitary and bad for business. Tsukiji Fish Market is not analogous to the NY…

How is there any moral high ground here? Just because it is a "victimless crime" doesn't mean it is somehow excusable for this guy to be in possession of it. The law is the law and he broke it. What's worse is that he is a high school teacher. It…

Although it is regrettable, I think this case would have seen the same outcome in any other western country (America, Britain, etc.). The principle is sovereign immunity or "the King can do no wrong." Judges and prosecutors have absolute immunity under state law in the US for example except for…

It looks like the Cinderella theme is present in some of the engraving options (which have iconic motifs like the glass slipper, pumpkin carriage, etc.).

This sounds so yummy! I wonder if the chocolate scent is faint or overpowering.

I beg to differ. After reading what he had tried to do, I must conclude that what he did was beyond what is necessarily required as "duty to rescue" under the common law [...]

There is no "duty to rescue" under common law.
