LOL It's not because of the economy. It's because people are finally coming to their senses of the stupidity of price trends in Japan.

Can't believe people are still debating these kinds of things about homosexuality, while other "sexual preferences" are far more important to worry about. With all the news in Japan of pedophile crimes, and such. Or what about the weirdos who marry their pillows or stupid nintedo DS game characters? He should of been poking fun at these people.

I had to laugh when someone said licking her hair wasn't a sexual offense. Really? I mean why else would this weirdo do so? Perhaps her hair smelled like cotton candy, so he wanted to find out if her hair tastes as good as it smelled? FFS get a clue.
Also why can't the Japanese commit American style crimes? LOL wow! Be glad the Japanese don't commit so many of foreign crimes that have results that are 9/10 deadly. I rather my wife be creeped out by some weirdo who licked her hair vice a rape, robbery, or worse.

What these stories sometimes don't tell us is the past that these many families have. Not saying what he did was right in anyway. Perhaps the father was a terrible man, and a horrible father to his son.(just think about that for a moment) Now having to take care of a person who was so rotten to him, may have flipped the psycho switch. So with a one sided story given and a short one at that! It's easy to ridicule the son.

This creeps me out because I live in Wisconsin. We are on a big fault line as well that runs around or with the Mississippi river. It's said that we are well over due.

My wife told me that many at first thought the YAKS were involved when it was first reported long time ago. But now reports say they found out that he had wrapped them in old newspapers from 2005, and had them in a freezer for 5 years! Why would he go to a public place to throw away the remains? He must have wanted to be caught.

I agree with everything sakurala said. Even the other way around. (me getting my wife to the states) is a difficult task. Plus the money that you spend in the process. God forbid if your spouse lived in another country for 6 months after the age of 16. That is even more and more paper work for police records, time and money. I'm not even going to talk about the headache to request marriage while I was in the military. The fact that I was not allowed to have a D.R. on base check her for free anymore, because of the so called "legit" process. But was able to pay the embassy civilian D.R. a few hundred dollars was ok. All this does in the end is justify future processing to milk legit marriages for more money. It's all about money.

It's good to see women taking part in events, breaking the men only cycle. Besides, she seems way more my type than some air headed girly girl who can't keep her face out of a mirror or cell phone.

To me IMHO when nuclear plants are not taken care of, and have incompetence running them. It can be a weapon. Look what is going on now? Last I checked it isn't all peaches and cream in Fukishima.

Didn't expect to see this. At first, I started to think that the one tower in the background was a guard tower of some sort due to the title. Always did love Japanese architecture.

Seems like another selfish suicide act. Glad the father made it out alive. To bad he had lost so much. His house, belongings, and more importantly loosing his son whom was ill. Talk about being at your all time low.

I thought it was "Expect the worst and hope or pray for the best?"
I've always wondered about the possibility % of volcano eruptions due to all of these EQs like this.

You see that is what people here in today's world need to start doing. Especially over here in Asia. Stop bickering over what happened before our time, and not wait to see who will lend out their hand first.

After what these people have been through. I'm sure that is the last thing on anyone's minds right now. I'm sure there are bigger fish to catch at this point. I don't care how high on the totem pole I am, if I see people who are 100x less fortunate than me. I wouldn't dare worry or even think twice about how they are sitting.

Maybe the way that one woman feels will change over time. I really hope so. It is ungrateful and rather ignorant to sit and believe the media's bashing (here say) of US armed forces and make judgment over seeing with your own eyes of rescue and aid.
I've seen a few posters on here that are not even located near this disaster, change their views on the US forces. To say they are happy and at least said thank you, and wished well beings.
If people still want us out and continue believing the BS on biased Tvs and newspapers. They can get out of their house and do something for their own country. It makes me laugh to know there are ignorant folks who sit nice and cozy behind whatever, bashing good folks, while the very good folks they are bashing are doing a very needy thing. Time to look in the mirror. If they are not a part of the solution, they are a part of the problem.

I agree with Zenny11. I always kept a full (6) liter box of water, and 3 boxes of MREs when I was stationed in Japan. Plus I kept spare batteries and those 100Y flashlights, and 2 real durable ones that were even water proof. Also had a good size water cooler for ice incase you wanted to keep things cool.
If you can prepare yourself before the fact. Then there should be no reason to panic horde. Causing people to do stupid things like buy 9 cartons of milk.

I agree with keeping as much supplies as possible. If you can't store it in your small apartment, find a friend or family member close by that can maybe hold it for you. Holding a least a weeks worth of water and such doesn't take that much room.
Trust me I know, the wife happened to just go shopping for water and noodles and canned veggies right before this all happened. Good thing too because shelves were bare. She started eating things out of the fridge first, and then slowly tapped into her supplies.
Those boxes that case (6-8) litter bottles are nicely packaged in sturdy boxes, unlike here in the states. And just stack other can goods / ramens and what not on top of that. It doesn't take up anymore room than those old box set TVs.
It would at least hold you over for a few days to a week if rationed correctly. You binge eat, or just suck it all down asap, or wait until disasters happen. Well then.... it won't work.

It's worth a try. Who knows, maybe you might like it. Seems to be too much soft cream though. Like always, they go for looks rather than taste. KK is way overrated anyways IMHO, there are so many better doughnut shops better than this, and half the price too.
