The laws regarding child porn are too lenient in Japan. The maximum sentence for production (possession sale ) is five years in prison and or a 5 million yen fine.

This probably has to do with a faulty power window switch.

If you drink and drive, your vehicle becomes a weapon. He should be charged with attempted murder.

I guess to Japanese police the mother did not commit any crime punishable under Japanese law. In Mr. Savoe's case,
he was arrested and detained and then released. Japanese prosecutors did not indict him, so what he did is not punishable under the law either. Kidnapping is a very serious offence in Japan and not to be taken lightly. Thanks anyway.

What the mother did was illegal in both the us and japan.
If so, why was the mother not arrested in Japan?

In 2008, the couple filed for divorce and days before the father was granted custody of their child by a U.S. court, the woman took the girl to Japan. After returning home, the mother sought to become the girl’s custodial parent, in place of the father, as she claimed to have been abused by her former spouse.
The father was given custody of the girl after she (mother) fled to Japan according to the article. Is the article wrong?

So you do admit that what the mother did is not illegal in Japan.

So you're saying if the mother commited murder in the States, she still will not be arrested by Japanese police? Kidnapping or whatever, it's the same thing.

If what she (mother) did was illegal in Japan, why didn't the Japanese police arrest her?

If a judge sentences you to two years in prison, does it matter when you start serving the sentence?

They lost because they were tired. The North Korean soldiers harassed them at the hotel keeping them up all night. They didn't get any sleep.

That's exactly the problem with the Emperor. He's too thankful. That's why he needs a rest.

Japanese taxpayers are not only paying to feed and house the foreign criminals, but as an added extra, are even paying them wages for the work they perform in prison.

This equally applies to Japanese prisoners also.

Go back to your mother and fathers, get a job, get off the drugs, stop having sex with everybody, go to the library, hit the books, get a degree and eventually get a job. If you are really upset about your bleak economic future, don't blame the banks, don't blame the corporations. Many of them are saying entrepreneurs are making too much money so we have to soak the rich. All of you are using iphones, all of you are using ipods and ipads. Steve Jobs just recently died. He was one of the most dynamic creative entrepreneurs that America has ever seen. He made hundreds and hundres of millions of dollars. You are benefitting from the fruits of his entrepreneurism. If you impose what you want on Steve Jobs, there would be no iphones, there would be no ipods, there would be no ipads. This is what made America the wealtiest most prosperous, most poweful successful country in the world.This is the essence of the free enterprise system. If you want to soak the rich, if you want to tax their profits, confiscate their wealth and private property, what you end up having is North Korea, it's cuba, it's the old Soviet Union where everybody is poor. These idiots are all Obama's children.

Just standing on a unnoticed small hot spot too long could be sufficient. Remember, radiation dose decreases square to the distance. His feet could have been irradiated enough to make some cells turn malignant, while the dosimeter at the chest registers only marginal dose (if turned on).

Personally I really am not sure what to worry about more.
Strong storm: much tear and wear on the already weakened structures. This could rip off these dangling and already weakened pipes that serve to cool the SFPs. Maybe some more of the remaining "wall tiles" of reactor building #4 will fall down.
Heavy rains up to about 40cm (respective 1 1/3 feet): much water that could come very inconvenient at this moment. SFPs flowing over, transporting big quantities of radioactivity into the reactor buildings, making cleanup of the situation increasingly difficult. Heavy ground and surface water pressure increasing water flow thru the cracked basements of the buildings. (Maybe this is not bad from Tepco's POV, as radionuclides and salinity gets washed out to the groundwater and the sea, easing the "purification" of the remaining radiating soup...)

Although there was no actual intrusion of Japanese airspace by the strategic bombers, ASDF sent fighters to scramble on them. Fighters were also sent to scramble the Chinese Y8 reconnaissance aircraft that was flying close to Senkaku islands around noon yesterday.
