I'm glad I'm not the only one to smell a rat.

After waking up, he noticed the windshield of his car was broken with blood stains on it, so he brought the car into a repair shop. If he knew he had hit someone, he would not have brought his…

I think he just doesn't want them looking at him with 'failure of a son' written all over their faces, and 'waste of space' shining from their eyes.

Would anyone want their parents looking at them like that? I wouldn't.

As for his lawyers blabbing, I'd assume they've discussed things…

it’s not appropriate for an American president to bow to a foreign one,” said conservative pundit William Kristol

Showing nothing but his own ignorance.

We all know that if Obama was a white, Texan war-monger no-one would complain if he bowed. Because he's not white, nor Texan, or a war-monger…

Kronos etc. The cops here always take their sweet time to upgrade from the accusation of a minor offence to a more serious one. It means they get to hold the suspect in the cells for longer and gives them a better chance of a confession. It may well be…

Often people comment on the civility of Japanese train stations

Cobblers! I've never heard such an outrageous suggestion!

Another one? Poor man, whoever was to blame the driver must have noticed something. Should have stopped and called for help.

If someone steps in front of me if I drive a car it will be their own fault that I hit them, how could I avoid it? But if…

People of equal status do most definitely bow to each other here in Japan. But it should be pretty equal. I haven't seen this bow, so I don't know the whole story, but yes Obama should have bowed. Why not? It's like asking should the Emperor shake hands with Obama…

Bicycle mishaps? Perhaps he's following in the footsteps of the dreaded Mr G.W.Bush? Lets hope he doesn't turn into some sort of war-criminal and moron in one. (Don't want a Japanese GWB. It was bad enough having an American one.)

I must say that a thorough medical checkup sounds OTT…

Kyushujoe, it isn't about revenge. It's about two things, most importantly making sure he can never do it again. (Assuming he's actually only killed once so far of course.) And secondly it's about letting him know why hurting and killing people is wrong. What sort of maniac gets pleasure from…

Medical checkup? I hope they used a good few pins and needles on him.

If they want him to have acupuncture I've got a bag of nails here and a hammer - do you think they'll pay me to treat him?
