Strange that there is no report of the infamous 'gangs of foreigners' commiting crimes that a few JT readers believed would materialize.

She married a 40 year old man 1 year after her 77 year old father died. I think there is a strong chance that her marriage was more to satisfy her need for a father figure than a husband, since she was only a child at the time.

Governments need to catch up with the times and install proper security systems, and train their staff in Information Security.
They also need to redefine the scope of the term 'an act of war' to include state-sanctioned cyber terrorism, so that the full suite of retaliatory measuresare aer available to them should China (or any other nation) persist with such behaviour.

Funny that people are picking up on her katakana name's pronounciation and complaining that her English name should be changed to be pronounced the same; yet I doubt they would ask people to call them Furedo Sumisu if their English name was Fred Smith.

Surely if they have to support the burden of a local subsiduary, their business sales may double, but their profits are likely to stay the same.. Not sure why they feel the need to add more onshore staff for such a low target, do they realise the huge limitation it puts on their ability to expand or contract their business in line with the market?
I suppose it will just be this big name director and a bunch of adecco temp'ers.

Your Parent's morals shape your morales.
Most Religions originating from the Middle East seem to just shape your guilt or self-righteousness.

Is there any proof she was abused, such as past reports by her to authorities, physical evidence, or corroborating observations from co-workers/neighbours? if it is puerly based on her testimony it could be an excuse to justify actions performed out of pure jealousy.

Personally I would be very happy to get my wife an AU iPhone4S with 64Gb, then swap her SIM for my softbank one from my iphone4, since I would definately make use of the faster processor and capacity for gaming, whereas she doesn't give a stuff about such things and would barely load 4Gb of music/Apps onto hers.

Funny, I give some pretty well-kown advice for adults to avoid losing their own tempers when an infant is inconsolable, and get rated down.

If anyone thinks that Jobs had nothing to do with the spec and design of the iPhone4S, then they are living in cloud cuckoo land.

Sometimes its best for an adult who is overwhlemed to ensure the baby is safe, then walk away for a short while and cool down.

21 year olds are generally to young to intellectually stimulate someone 30+ years older. They often seem like children in adult's bodies if you are 30+ and socialize with them. I assume that she must be as puerile as her onscreen persona ..
