Well, this dude is being helped by somebody, or people are more clueless than ever. so much for the "he killed himself" theory.

Has the J-cops ever cracked a big case like this on their own without the criminals giving themselves up in the end?

This group, the government, and any other person that claims TV has any effect whatsoever on kids NOT doing drugs is living in la la land.

yesterday at the supermarket, I saw a girl, maybe 15, with her parents. She was wearing a T-shirt that said "I Love Hemp" with…

Headline: "dude spends one million yen, blah blah blah"

Actual Story: "I heard that they did this and that so they must've spent at least a million yen"

So the assertion of fact in the headline, the core of this story, is based on a guess based on second hand…

Hope she and the kid pull through ok. And sick as it sounds, I'm glad the dude successfully killed himself, unlike many other cases, where the victims are the only ones that die. Dude must be messed to stab a six month old.

this is about the same as a closet racist saying "some of my friends are black..."

maybe, but you wouldn't want one marrying your daughter, just like despite not liking whale meat, Hatoyama ultimately supports the whaling industry.

Just another empty political statement meant to appease without conceding anything.

I was wondering when they would jump on a Netflix like solution

not quite. According to the article, they can only return them by post. They still have to go to the shop to get them. Which sounds like it's more of a convenience for the shop. (e.g. to get…

First of all, when you have a list, you need ten items, not nine. And you are supposed to end with number one.

How do these half baked blog posts end up on JT?

Who, hold the phone. She locked a dude in the freezer, and was going to leave him there to die? I can understand robbing a store to help out your family, but she could've potentially killed the guy had she left him.

I hope she gets more than a slap…
