I don't like this title - it doesn't sound like Bono "expects" anything. He's just making a point and a heavy suggestion.

No one seems to have mentioned this yet, but I think it's possible that the parents don't expect the girls home for completely justifiable reasons - club activities and school meetings very often go on late into the night. Countless times I have seen the lights on and students working…

And I'm sure that the Junta thinks that this is a really smart move to make them look like a legitimate government in the eyes of the international community.

I'd like the reporter to look for how well these companies are paying for "volunteered overtime" in other countries, too. Believe me, it's not limited to Japan. Human rights violations get way worse than just what's mentioned on this page.

And that mother - honestly, even if you're doing laundry, a Japanese apartment is pretty small. She should have heard the sounds of a struggling child choking. Even if he couldn't scream, he was probably kicking, etc. He is a toddler, after all. But to let the toddler be in…

I live in a college dormitory with over 30 Japanese girls from all over the country. And let me tell you, most of them juggle studies, part time jobs, and cooking without a problem. Some of that food may be a combination of rice with various stews and curries, but…
