I think that the bullying must be more intense in Japan than elsewhere. I was bullied as a kid, but only became stronger because of it. In the end, I ended up ending all bullying in the school by becoming the one person nobody could ever mess with - no…

I am going to get one of these as soon as Sony's tech support answers a few questions I had about it. This is awesome! This will become my new "on the go" laptop/notebook. It fits in my pocket! It's great!

I wonder if they do the same thing in Japan that they do here in the US. Here I cannot get pet insurance for my dog because he is older than 10 years old. Is the same true there too? I think the pet insurance is a good thing. And…

When would they all enter the workforce? Before or after this day? Well, I wish them all a good year, one better than last year.

What a bizzare story... It sounds like there is much much more to this. Something must have been going on in that house in order to force this kid to not only NOT go to school but to come up with this plan to order the knife purposefully to stab…

Good story! A very human one in the end. The guy only ran away because he was embarassed. I guess he was too shy to go to the register to actually buy the items.

I say good job to the cops in Japan for arresting one of their own for breaking the law. Here in the US they just hide behind their badge and say they did nothing wrong, and days later the "official report" says they did nothing wrong - even if they…

From the reports, it sounds like it had a good start, which is amazing in of itself. If they can get a system like this going smoothly, travel could be easy in the future. Just pre-register everything, and you are set to go as a world traveller.

Not that the method was right, but they were right in forcing the girl to work - just the wrong job. The schools should not disallow their students from working - they SHOULD work. Maybe then these underage prostitution cases would vanish.
