Just avoid all nigerian bars and clubs. Those guys are only about scam and theft. 419 was not enough, now they take the money directly from your wallet.

So as long as they don't make billions they don't really break the law. I was wondering how long before some here will begin to complain about seeing more chinese than japanese in Japan. Actually some places in Ikebukuro are so chinese that we will probably soon see chinese immigration officers asking for passport and giving visas to japanese visitors.

It seems some here were expecting to pay the same price for a subway ticket as for a helicopter flight. None really know the price of using helicopter, right ? Just for you information you pay about 1800 euro (220.000 yens) for a flight from Nice airport to Saint Tropez in south of France. Price for a 20 minutes flight....

Are you referring to your imagination about those hundreds of gaijins being shot to death accidentally in Japan every year by japanese policemen? dying under j-police brutality (I'm Rodney King remember me?) or are you just referring to your allergy to ID's controls by j-cops? Hey! I am a WASP! how could a simple asian control my ID and check my bag?

I was wondering how long before one ask the question. Let's see: a white or a black cop in Japan with an alien card asking ID's to japanese citizens, arresting japanese citizens, shooting japanese citizens (some here dream about this one)....one would think Japan is a banana republic in some gaijins eyes. Japanese would probably "enjoy" to see some american citizens cops working in Japan, and watching consequences on Youtube.

Thank you Mona for promoting a film we already saw few months ago thanks to streaming. “Passengers” is really a BAD movie!

At least they don't recruit them from geriatrics clinics like those I saw on U.S. airline companies. However not really leggy those we have here.

You mean like the japanese part-time and temp workers who sleep in parks and in tent villages ? or like those who sleep in Ikebukuro station ? You think layoffs only include foreigners ? You can not force people to become japanese, they just have to fill in forms and speak japanese !
Just imagine mexicans doing so in New York...that's a complete joke. You are brazilians ? so what ? you deserve better that iranians or nigerians ?

And still a lot of people on JT keep saying that Japan should welcome more refugees, more foreigners, more workers from abroad when the locals have hard times. Those people in parks and in internet cafes are japanese and speak japanese and have really problems finding jobs and shelters and Japan should bring more people who would probably line up after those ? A lot of them are young, it's not about age or diploma, there is really a problem with employment now. Next time we will talk about japanese borders and jobs for people we should link to this picture, just in case.

I don't want to waist my time with you. I know JT is not really a place full of jurists, lawyers economists, and scientists...

Man admits slaying Hiroshima girl Sweat on school uniform matches suspect's DNA
So you were at the trial in Hiroshima and can confirm to us that the DNA tests was not among the evidences ?
Good idea for a retrial. Next time he get death penalty.
PS: Hey wait we are on JT ! Police fabricated the evidence, got forced confession, faked the DNA tests, and even created criminal records in Peru....I really forgot that now !

Yeah right ! This guy is really unlucky, in Peru he had 2 sex crime records and did jail for that and just after arriving in Japan he ends up living just next to the place where the victim was found.Very unlucky and propably innocent.
Are you sayin' that race is never an issue on JT ? even when it involves a gaijin trial like this one ? LOL...

Because all young japanese people dream about farming....?
So you know rich countries that don't help farmers ? You should check about agricultural subsidy and WTO sometimes...

And by peruvian justice. Did time because he "liked" kids too much.
So if he is a gaijin he is probably innocent (forced confession, bad translation bla bla bla) but if he was a japanese he should be hanged without retrial, right Dogdog?
