Let that be a message to parents in Japan - don't let your young kids walk home by themselves. The excuse that the "kids learn to experience new things on their own" doesn't hold water when what they experience is a fist rammed into their stomachs (sorry, had to put in a reference to the arnie soundboard).

I agree more railings should be installed.
If there are railings then some nutcase behind you can't push you onto the tracks...

The creativity here amazes me - if I was as angry as he was the idea of running along slapping the kids on the cheek wouldn't occur to me. When it comes to crime I notice the Japanese can be very creative.

If anybody had interfered with Nakada they might have been charged with assault. If that person was a foreigner, they might be deported. Good laws they have here. All you can do is call the police and let them handle it.

Cleo, about my comment that you referred to, check the Wikipedia out for Caesarean section. In one part a doctor comments: "We shouldn't be blamed. Our approach must be understood. We doctors are often sued for events and complications that cannot be classified as malpractice. So we turn to defensive medicine. We will keep acting this way as long as medical mistakes are not depenalized. We are not martyrs. So if a pregnant woman is facing an even minimum risk, we suggest her to [get a c-section]" The feeling is that a natural birth can have complications that could possibly result in litigation, whereas a C-section (although itself having the possibility of complications) must be a safer choice.

As I understand it, a Caesarean is often performed as there are fewer potential complications than a natural birth, and doctors don't want to expose themselves to litigation because of these potential complications. So thank all those mothers who sued their doctors because of getting complications from their natural births for all of the Caesarean births!

Sounds like something out of a Detective Conan comic. I always thought those murder cases were unrealistic, but now I have to wonder.

From an evolutionary point of view, the fitness of the flu would be how transmissible it is. It also helps if it doesn't kill the host. I expect the flu will lessen in severity in the future (rare mutations that make it stronger excepted)

Nice sun sense...not. No hats, no suntan lotion (I'd wager). Even though skin cancer isn't a big risk here (for Asians) skin damage from the sun still happens (just look at old people's faces)

I bet the software does a quick scan of images, counting the proportion of the image that contains pink skin-colors, and if it's too high it block it.

I saw something similar on home shopping. This will be marketed towards old women who are too scared of leaving their homes.
