Sorry but at the risk of being flamed I have to say that though these women might look okay your typical Japanese woman / girl looks far better in a skirt or dress than in jeans, especially tight ones. There are too many women who are way too skinny, flat-bottomed,…

GW: Not to defend this guy because he is an idiot but there is really nothing wrong with keeping snakes in plastic containers assuming they can be securely sealed from the outside, are maintained at the correct humidity, have proper ventilation and are big enough for the snake. The good…

Of course it begs the question as to how he got the snakes in the first place. Is it legal to import and keep venemous snakes if you're living in a residential area amongst millions of people?

Fukuoka Prefecture. Judge Akira Oshima of the Fukuoka Family Court said the sentence was suspended because his ‘‘adult entertainment business was not necessarily generating a profit and he already received sanction in society.’’

Eh??? What sanction? I don't remember sanctioning him and if I had I certainly wouldn't have done…

Fellow wrestlers not aware of Wakanoho's alleged marijuana smoking

Then maybe it just wasn't that much of a problem. Were the fellow wrestlers aware of XXX's alcohol drinking? Probably not unless he started showing up late for work, getting aggressive, having "health" problems, etc and maybe not even then because…

nisegaijin: Yes, I am aware of the utter nonsense and failings of Prohibition and as far as I'm concerned the "war on drugs" is about as ridiculous. Legalize them, tax them, control them. There will always be those among us who need a fix. For some coffee will be enough…
