Let me get this straight...this girl was missing for a year, apparently at the hands of the 'parents' and nobody noticed!! No inquiries were made?!
"So how's your daughter? Haven't seen her for a while."
"Where's that little granddaughter/niece of mine...?"
The cracks in this society are very wide indeed.

Sorry to say but children "for the most part" in this country are nothing more than mere possessions. And are handled as such. People here have stronger emotional bonds with their mobile phones than they do with their own flesh and blood.

I think that is OK, but what if the same driver with you as a passenger ploughs into a group of people and kills 4-5 of them? If you knew that driver was drunk, shouldn't you have stopped them from driving?
OK. If the driver is hell bent on driving, what is a person to do? Steal their keys? Physically restrain them? Risk being injured incase said drunk decides to resist? I'm all for acting responsibly and all that but where do we draw the line? Am I to break the law in order to prevent someone from breaking it themselves?

Why mommy and daddy wear their seatbelts and let their children remain unprotected is beyond comprehension. But wait...it's not beyond comprehension. The law exists to buckle up your little ones. The infamous j-police just haven't got the balls to enforce it. Same goes for stop signs and red lights.
It's the j-police that are beyond comprehension.

“I would like to proceed with our action to help strengthen financial cooperation in Asia and support self-reliant development of the region,” Aso said.
Are we sure this is what he meant to say? Maybe he read his speech wrong.

A limited "Yes" to the first question. And a down right "No" to the second. I am responsible for me, myself and I...period. Which means you are responsible for you, yourself and you...period. We do what we can to intervene and help somebody out but in no way am I responsible for the choices THEY make.

I was once told by a Japanese friend of mine NOT to mess around with those painter guys. Sniffing paint thinner all day tends to make them go bonkers. Case and point.

Blah, blah, blah, nantonaku...complaining is for the lame.
If the Japanese public is fed up with its leaders, then start taking some action!! Aso has every reason to feel above the commoners. The J-public will continue to kowtow until the cows come home until someone stands up to the establishment. Aso and his cronies have no reason to think otherwise.

If I'm drinking with my buddy and we both get sh!t faced and he ends up driving, I'm held responsible!? Doesn't the fact that I'm under the influence also nullify any responsibilty?
Truly weird.

As fatloser indicated, this could have happened to anyone with or without alcohol in their system. Complacency towards motor vehicles in this country is at extreme epidemic levels.
