Good. I wish they would keep their dirt hands away from me as I am not their 'friend'.

Dennis711, trying to explain that to some round here is like trying to explain that black really isn't white and 1+1 is not 3, but they won't listen and just carry on with their rabid reasoning, possibly accusing you of belonging to some 'mob'. This is a simple case, rather…

KnowBetter,

Have you ever had the flu? I have so don't want a repeat, and particularly during a period of mass hysteria which is bound to follow once this thing grips hold of the nation. I do hope the govt. has sufficient stockpiles of Tamiflu.

The trouble is that those with flu, don't really care if others get it. Of course they might want to prevent family or friends from catching it but not somebody they don't know, as why care? This is the real problem, when on trains for example.

WilliB, this is Japan, a country that embraces capital punishment like all backward thinking countries do so it wont change. Maybe he is a patsy, maybe not. Either way I amazed that he is out on bail actually. Being Japan, I wonder why he doesn't do the honourable thing.

Likeitis, your persistence on proving that he has been harshly dealt with is bordering on the insane. I ask how you would feel if they were YOUR kids? Your house that fell silent in an instant. Your family and those around you robbed of the joy of watching three little…
