"Four teenage children" - Are they teenagers or are they children?

All teenagers are children by definition in Japan. You don't come of age till you're twenty.

Men who can't control their temper do not make good marriage partners.

True. But you could replace "men" with "people" and it'd be no less true.

if feasible, the best thing to do would be to add more domestic flights into narita,

Hopefully the keystones will charge this scumbag
