I though the police took samples from the accused person's hands to check for a match in the fibers on the accuser's clothes.
I was once standing in the line waiting for the train late in the evening at Shinjuku, a drunk middle aged women started flicking up the skirt of the woman in front of her (the woman was wearing one of those frilly tutu type skirts). Had the woman noticed it would have been either myself or the salaryman next to me that the woman would have accused. I guess we would have both pointed at the drunk obasan.

Then give them a tax break, they gave the next generation of designers a place to start, to fail, to start again, to succeed.
The price of everything, the value of nothing.

China has a surplus male population to dispose of, so why not have a war?
Their only problem being who with, India, Korea, Vietnam, The Philippines, Russia, Japan, or the USA? Or maybe they can just have a civil war all by themselves.
Posted in: We believe that what is most urgent is for Japan to stop provocative actions like regularly sending in ships and aircraft into the waters around the Diaoyu Islands ... and seek, via talks with China, an effective way to appropriately control and resolve this issue.

From the Algerian point of view 600 of their people survived but some foreigners got killed. So for them this is a successful operation.

Noda, and Kan before him were good men at a bad time. I dislike the prospect of paying more tax, but accept the need, to a degree.
Tanaka will probably now defect back to the LDP.

It is amazing to think of the changes this guy has seen. Within his lifetime humans have gone from planes made of wood and canvas to putting vehicles on Mars.

47,000 thousand cars a day, let's assume and average of 3,000 JPY toll per vehicle, that equals 141,000,000 JPY in revenue a day. Nexco certainly isn't short of money.

Subtext, Abe knows that inflation will erase the value of the savings of elderly voters, who are more likely to vote, so he has added some Ishihara style jingoism, strengthening the military, as a sop.
Once elected he will find himself bogged down in vested interests, and suddenly develop a severe stomach ailment.

With the Tokyo government involved you can be sure this scheme will cost money not make it.
Adding plates to bicycles is not about safety, it is more of the creep towards surveillance 24/7. The Japanese citizens will not accept an ID Card, so the state is looking for alternative ways to monitor people.

Yesterday I completed my company's annual corporate ethics course. This year was mainly concerned corruption, however one section covered politics. We are not supposed to imply our company supports any political stance. Perhaps Century 21 & Audi would like to consult with our CSR department.

The weather forecast in Japan is usually pretty accurate, so if they say these rainstorms are hard to predict I'm inclined to believe them.
