no signs of suicidal tendencies

That's not what you said in the last article. Still, if her suicidal talk wasn't reported to the woman supervising her then she can hardly be blamed. But with a school full of problem kids, why don't they have an effective perimeter fence on the…

Change the bit in the title about Japanese society to world society and you'd get it about right. The human race is going to the dogs, or worse. Do dogs treat each other as badly as humans treat each other? I doubt it.

“There have even been cases of them…

Hold on a minute, I though China was one of the reasons for having the US here at all? How could they replace the US forces when they're supposed to be semi-hostile?

Anyhow, onto the base situation. My J-hubby reckons they should move it to the large area in Tokyo…

Fishy's right. Elementary kids do not ride bikes to school. For a start it's usually (always?) against the rules, plus there's no bike sheds or suchlike. So, she can't have been on her own. She probably rode on ahead of the parent who must have been with her (if for…

Well, it'll be easy enough to check out their latest alibi.

If it proves to be false, they were asleep.

Or will they then make up something else? Let's see, *'I weren't asleep guv, I was just playing a pocket billiards challenge against the first officer.' You know, first past…

Nothing wrong with inheriting money.

At least it was legally come by. Unless someone here has something unpleasant to say about Bridgestone?

Can you say that much for all of the people who 'worked' to earn their money?

Another thing they don't mention (in addition to whether the woman understands Chinese and whether the man made his demand for money in Chinese or Japanese,) is how he got in.

I'd bet she left the door unlocked.

If so it's really partly her own fault. But even if that's…

Took them long enough. As Deepair says BA did it ages ago, though I thought they might have reinstated them for the summer. Still, I got my tickets pretty cheap this summer, although I only managed to get the special price for one leg of the journey it was still…

Damien15,

Who else wouldn't feel bad about making money by killing?

Well, try every person who's worked in an abattoir anywhere in the world for more than 1 day. If they can stick it that long they don't feel bad about it. And in many cases it's equal to, or…

As for white-supremacists, I've never heard anyone use that term about the BNP but it's not too far off the truth. They're a bunch of racist, lazy, mostly unemployed @?!$heads. That's not any particular insult, I just haven't decided what I want to call them today. Some people call them…
