He's not helping an insurance company; he's helping the citizens of Italy. Big difference.

If you have to pay your wife for sex, that's just sad. True, men shouldn't take their wives for granted, and maybe paying them to make a bento would make them feel more appreciated. But lots of girls quit their jobs after they get married, and are living for free…

Yeah, I completely understand these old men. Who do these young women think they are, thinking they can "do what they want", "have rights", and "fall asleep on the train without having perverts look up their skirts". They should all be locked in towers, and definitely not be educated. Put…

I don't think this guy is so bad. He even said that he's guilty of being a fool in one press conference. So what if he gets a large retirement payout. He was a general, this is Japan, and that's how they do things here. He didn't commit any crimes,…

"During the rescue, aid workers also discovered a body under a different car on its side about 100 meters above." Anybody else wondering what's up with this tidbit of info?
