    women do not like using shared toilets as men sometimes leave the seat up.

    Good grief. What is the world coming to if a woman is too feeble to put the seat down?

    The only logical reasons I can think of for having women only toilets are

    1. young girls who are old enough to go to the loo without their mum might find it more reassuring and it might potentially be safer. Might. It's a remote possibility of course, but still it doesn't hurt to mention it.

    2. women normally spend longer in the loo than men, even if they're not 'putting their face on', and so it's better for everyone if women have access to more loos. (This is a common problem with public toilets, with women's facilities frequently having long queues and men just being able to wander in and take a slash unhindered. It's simple logistics, men can be far quicker.)

    I like DeepAir65's suggestion though, a urinal cubicle for men only would certainly speed things up and save hassle.

    Moderator: Please learn the difference between loser and looser.

    Oh my god, that's classic! Thank you mod, after feeling so nauseated at the thought of the dreaded moo moos you've cheered me up and made me feel 100% better! I reckon most of the people on the internet genuinely don't know the difference or how to pronounce the two words. Unbelievable really, but so's the name moo moo.

    Never mind the drink though, I'll definitely be giving it a miss.

    If Japan only consumes 40% of bluefin tuna I don't know why it gets most of the blame for the demise of said fish.

    And as Greece, Cyprus, Malta, Spain, France and Italy are the ones doing almost all the catching of said fish, why don't they get more of the blame?

    I'd be glad to go without bluefin forever, but I don't eat expensive foods anyway so it wouldn't make a difference. But just because some Japanese people are willing to pay stupidly high prices for bluefin doesn't make them responsible. It's the people who deliberately go out and kill them that are most to blame. I've read in news articles that Malta is the main culprit. Where are the sea shepherds when there's reason for them to protest?

    I find it strange how you people are going off topic so much.

    Seems like you went off topic yourself.

    This innocent child became his child the moment he married her mother. Fathers are aloud to take baths with their children. There is nothing sexual about it! Those of you that think differently should seek pshy help. A childs mind knows nothing of sexulity and gives fathers that chance of bonding and pleasant relaxing memories of childhood! Well, in my opinion, the death penalty should be enforced on the mother and new father becuase the mother knew what was happening and aloud it

    Quite the off topic post. And why does someone say she was pregnant at 16? Now 21? 3 year old? Either someone's maths are off or she has more than one child, which is it?

    Anyway, I think Fadamor might have a point with the bath water temperature. If that's what it is then this poor kids lost life might at least help other kids whose parents are too vague to realise that hot water is dangerous.

    Metaphile, maybe she's doing one of the voices for the Japanese dub? I agree with you though, tarento are awful. JT already knows most of us despise tarento so I'm sure they won't be surprised.

    What the heck is she wearing on her feet? Looks like she's asking for a trip to the doctors, they're not healthy at all. Don't look good either, not to me anyway. Plus he's not so tall that she needs stilts anyway, so I don't see the point.

    But the film? Anyone seen it? Is it any good?

    Having a bath with your own child is one thing. But having a bath with someone else's child is something else again, and with her suddenly going limp and dying like that I hope they check her poor little body for more than bruises.

    I don't know what Kyokosmile said about the subject, so I can't comment, but certainly if a mother is prepared to let her daughter bath with whatever man happens to be sharing the mother's bed then she's either unbelievably stupid or she's encouraging him to sexually abuse the child. I wonder if the mother is actually married to this man? These days news articles always seem to use the term stepfather for the man living with the mother, regardless of whether they are married or not.

    Either way, I really get a bad feeling about this. If he's capable of hurting her to the point where she dies, then what else did he and her mother do to her?

    Nemoflow, if you do that you ought really to compile one for your own country alongside it. JT has all the info you could possibly need about people killing Japanese kiddies, but you might need to look hard for info about your own country as it's so common it barely makes the headlines. Maybe if you can find a Japanese language news site along the lines of JT, which publishes all the nastiest and most outrageous information about your home country, then you might have an easier job. But most countries wouldn't put up with a bunch of foreigners making racist and offensive comments online, Japan is the only exception that I know of. (My own home country is awful too, regularly there are headlines that the mother or father is being investigated after a body of a child was found etc, and then afterwards there's usually a headline saying that they've been charged. This is at least as common in my home country as it is here, and there are less people back home unless I'm very much mistaken. UK.)

    But what a horrific thing for some poor member of staff to find, and of course it's hard to imagine what the hell the culprit was thinking of, even if they weren't the parent, even if they were already dead when they were put in the freezer, after all they'd have made a noise if they were alive and alert so someone might have found them and rescued them. The people on this planet disgust me sometimes. I'm ashamed to be human.

    Yes, I knew that Israel has nuclear weapons.

    They were provided by America I believe, although they may have been making their own too. There's no way of knowing how many they've got.

    Yes, I expect most people know that Israel lives in a fantasy land of spies and assassins. But some people don't realise how dangerous it is.

    No wonder people think Iran is planning to make nuclear weapons of it's own, frankly I think it would be better if they did, as Israel and America have never to my knowledge gone all out and attacked a nuclear power. (Look at Pakistan, all they do is feebly flutter about near the borders and use drones to kill civilians, then pretend it was an accident. If those WMD could reach America they'd be far more polite I can guarantee it. Or even if Pakistan threatened to bomb the US military.)

    I really don't like these drones, especially as they're so damn big. Imagine what a punch they'll pack. I really don't like countries that use these pilotless killers, it's even worse than the assassins as there's no risk to the hostile nation at all.

    I find it kinda disturbing, you know. I read the story by Edogawa ranpo ages back, but if I remember what she did to him correctly the mind boggles about them filming such a thing. Gross. But the whole story was gross, mostly because people can be left such wrecks as the man in the story, and also because the woman wasn't told how badly damaged her husband was. She had to find out when she saw him. But anyway, the culmination of the story is surely un-filmable?

    I don't consider them to be Japanese either. That's not meant to be offensive, but they don't look Japanese, apparently they barely speak Japanese, and it's highly likely that they don't act Japanese. They're only skating for Japan on a technicality from the sound of it, but good luck to them.

    Hang on, if she's the elder and she was born on June the 5th 1987, making her 22 going on 23, what was the age at which half people have to choose to be Japanese or not? I thought it was 22, but I could be wrong. Perhaps she's given up her US nationality? I'm intrigued by the possibilities, for example if she chooses to be American she'll never be able to skate for Japan again, no matter how good she is. He's just over 2 years her junior, so by next winter olympics he'll have the same problem.

    Hehehe, my Japanese hubby was moaning at me just yesterday that the Americans are making way too much of the Toyota recall. He seems to believe they're being racist. I pointed out the gyoza scandal and how it was all over the news here, but he still thinks they're going OTT in America. I also pointed out that Toyota wouldn't have such bad press if they'd got their fingers out and done something when there had only been one or even two incidents, and it's mostly that arrogant inaction that's causing the resentment. Kinda like the Chinese refusal to accept that the gyoza contamination might have happened there. Still he feels aggrieved. I think he's been reading too many internet articles, you know how biased they can be.

    It's certainly true though that Toyota has given itself a bad name, but making Japanese people feel resentful over it isn't going to help anyone, not Toyota, not the Japanese people, nor anyone else.

    Posted in: I am not denying that there is a degree of schadenfreude among some people in the US, but this is not about Japan-bashing. This is about Toyota not living up to its own standards and selling defective cars that threaten the safety of its customers.

    "fatally stabbed Misa and a friend who happened to be staying over, injured another man" is this the key to the story? "friend" means a male or female friend? and what another man? I don't think the guy got crazy for nothing, especially since he was helped by a friend, something triggered his frenzy. since he stabbed the both of them, it is possible that it was a jealousy frenzy. there is no word about their jobs, and this may be another key to his violent outbursts

    You could be right. If I remember the earlier article correctly it said the friend of Saya was female but the male was described as "a friend". Still, the boy was and is psychotic. I don't as of now blame the cops as I don't know what she said to them or what they did or suggested. Maybe she was one of those women who always backs down rather than let them arrest her man?

    Poor girl now has to live with the responsibility. She knows better than us how many chances she had to not date him, or dump him later on, and because she didn't he ended up murdering her sister and friend. Poor girl, that's a lot to live with. I hope her love for her baby helps her get through.

    But Dubai’s wanted list appears to have major holes.

    No it doesn't. It's straightforward in the extreme. The passports were faked. That's that. No holes so far as I can see. Plus some of those photos surely break all the rules? The Mildiner one shows a man smiling. Wrong. The woman is smiling too. A couple of them show men with spectacles, at least one of them partially obscuring the eyes. Again, wrong. Those photos would never have been used for legitimate passports, and I'm surprised it wasn't picked up during their travels.

    Was it Mossad? I don't know, but I'd be surprised if it was anyone else. I'm sure they're capable of having done their homework about the security, and paying off or killing anyone necessary to get the job done. They've done it before. Certainly the European governments concerned are checking to see if the other real people passed through Israel in the not-so-distant past, so they're thinking Mossad might be responsible too.

    However, he said it “doesn’t look like an Israeli operation” because of the apparent sloppiness, including allowing members to be videotaped by security cameras.

    Rubbish. Ever heard of cosmetic surgery? We have. And they'll never fool us by pretending that they haven't.

    According to McCully, Bethune had boarded the Shonan Maru No. 2 ‘‘knowing there would be consequences from it and that he is not only not seeking to be removed, but is refusing to be removed.’’

    Great, so leave him squatting where he is and give him rancid whale-blood showers every 3 hours. He'll love it. Or, to play safe, make it butyric acid showers.

    Somehow I doubt he'll be brought to Japan, but it would serve him right if he was. Meanwhile I'm not sure if he's what would be classified as a squatter or a stowaway, but he's surely in dire need of an accidental plunge into the briny. Those whalers will have to tie him up to make sure he doesn't top himself. After all, his wife says quite clearly he's willing to die to try and stop the whaling, and if he can frame the whalers for his own death then it would certainly put the dampers on things. Wouldn't stop the whaling though, but it would become even less popular.

    And for spudman on the other thread about the coca cola ad,

    at 08:34 AM JST - 16th February; Dammit, on the whaling thread the pro whalers are claiming no one in New Zealand cares about whaling so which is it? Not Japan bashing cause there was similar uproar over a British soccer club ripping it off. Get your facts to line up with your opinions.

    Well, this bloke is from New Zealand, his rep wants to support him if he's brought to Japan, and he's certainly going to get at least some support from his people. So who says NZ doesn't care about whaling? No-one on any of the threads on JT I've been on.

    Eh? I'm sure I read an article on here that it was shown in Japan, although in a limited way, and Japanese people were most definitely in the audience.

    Perhaps it's a poor translation of "It's very strange that isn't in every damn cinema in Japan every damn day and that people aren't forced to watch it constantly."?

    the projectiles veered 300 meters off target and blasted a house

    How reassuring. Typical American military incompetence.

    Some troops complained that the strict rules issued by McChrystal to spare civilians were making their job more difficult and dangerous. Under the rules, troops cannot fire at people unless they commit a hostile act or show hostile intent.

    So, what they're saying is, they want to be permitted to blast every human of Afghan origin they see off the face of the earth. That's fairly typical too.

    As far as I'm concerned they've got no business being in Afghanistan in the first place. They started the war, now they just want to blast all the Afghans so they can maybe get out in one piece.

    Normally I'd say no, because they chose to start smoking after all, and if they didn't have the will power to stop it's their own fault.

    No, it's not logical. You do NOT leave your 2 year old alone while you return to take out the trash. And what dogs? Were the dogs with a human or alone? Who would leave a 2 year old playing with dogs? If the dogs were with a person, was the person asked to keep an eye on the kid for a minute or not?

    This woman is either incredibly stupid or totally neglectful. So is the person responsible for the drainage ditch.
