    These "people" need to be caught and punished. Cruelty to animals is often followed up by more acts on much larger scales.

    Thank you Yubaru for the informative and also personal information in regards to respirators and QL decisions.

    I greatly appreciate these types of comments.

    Brain dead for seven years. Poor family. I wonder who made the decision to keep him on life support for the seven years? I am assuming it is a family decision in Japan but I really don't know. Anyone?

    Great picture thanks to the Juxtaposition of the Buddhist monk and the Christian. Happy Holidays to all and I wish us all happiness and the spirit of compassion and tolerance.

    Well I hope that he's the one that did the two attacks and just isn't delusional and is admitting to them. This reminds me slightly of the Kobe Killer of about 16 years ago. It seems that in these cases the attacks escalate in serverity. Hopefully people in Chiba can rest more easily.

    Adoption was brought up by several posters. Does anyone know or have firsthand experience about adoption in Japan?

    Seem to me that what is needed is an international fixed standard for children car seats. I'm just dreaming here, but imagine if all seats and all cars had the same, simple locking procedure and safety features for the child seat. Then training on how to use them could be simple and standard and there would be no learning curve if you switched cars/seats.

    Tragic for this family. Hopefully someone will notice and learn and secure their children better.

    Spray painting on someone else's property is wrong. It's an intrusion, it's invasive and it can have a negative impact on others.

    I hope these offenders are caught, are fined for the clean-up fees as well as any other costs associated with their acts and then are sentence to something appropriate - say community service and cleaning up litter.

    The bottle of water, whistle and flashlight are a great idea.

    I actually have a "grab bag" located in the closest next to the bed. It's basically what I "need" if I want to dash out the house and leave all behind. Some change of clothes, passport and other things.

    Always worth to review emergent plans with your family when these things happen. Where is your meet up place in case of a fire for example? Same for earthquake, god forbid.

    Interesting Comment zichi..good point about the clear change of seasons in Japan..but maybe it all depends where in Japan you are?

    Of course, having lived in Kansai and Kanto I have to agree with you so I am curious to hear from people from other regions. Do the seasons mix, or is there an abrupt change?

    Great pic by the way! Let's enjoy it's beauty and thank JT for posting it.

    I am in shock...for once I actually have to say that Elbuda Mexicano has a relevant post. Right on the mark about the self defense courses. There is also Judo and Aikido (now being promoted strongly for women) as self-defence.

    Hope they catch this sick person soon. He is obviously in need of treatment.

    Cheers to Zichi, fact filled posts with no emotional bias. Makes for compelling reading and a serious tone. Also actually made me want to read the report, which I've just started.

    tokyokawaski - It might take an hour to clean up the mess, inspect the tracks for damage and try to find every single part of the bicycles. Might sound crazy but I am sure there is a regulation somewhere calling for an extreme clean up when tracks are obstructed to ensure that there are not further accidents (like a derailing) from the first accident.

    Please note, I am not saying that a bicycle part would cause a derailing. I am saying that in the event of an accident, regulations would require thorough checking of the area. No matter what the accident.

    On a related topic of old age and crime, I heard that the number of seniors committing petty theft is rising. Some of the reasons reported was loneliness and a way to relieve boredom. Does anyone have info related to this?

    I believe that you get a medal, a pension and a special meal for the 25th time caught. Excuse my flippancy but this is really ludicrous.

    I found the Munya Times comments to be quite good in this thread. I don't like the fact that minors are drinking nor that people are driving drunk, but as Munya Times pointed out, we (as society) can not expect bartenders to police this behavior...

    Maybe the simple answer is to install a breathalyzer in each car? They have the technology for repeat DUI offenders...if this was mass produced for all cars then the cost would come down. After all, as some of the JP people have pointed out, cars are basically deadly weapons, so wouldn't we all feel better if aside from the basic license, you also had to prove you were sober each time you wanted to operate this "DEADLY WEAPON" as Elbuda Mexicano has called the car....

    No matter what happens, I am positive that the regular workers of Olympus are suffering from stress of a uncertain future. It is not something anyone would want to have, especially in this rough economy.
