Hope this doesn't catch on. We don't know all the facts, but my guess is he's been totally cut out of his children's lives. I doubt it would be as easy to go home and do the honorable thing as some posters suggest, through no fault of his own. As long as he doesn't expect Japanese funds to be used to send his remains home... well I can neither condemn nor condone.

What a bummer, hey? Even in the suburbs at home you get used to looking before you touch or reach. I hope they dont find Japan overly comfortable. I can't help thinking about all the shoes and yard slippers left outside here. The redbacks will just love those!

This article doesn't state whether or not these classes will be every Saturday. I agree every Saturday is too much, but once a month for three periods a day like in other parts of the country, well there's nothing wrong with that. There has been greater parent participation at our school since all events were moved to Saturdays. Even so, if inner city Osaka is anything like Tokyo, there is a large chunk of kids all alone at home all weekend while thier parents are working anyway. That is if they haven't been enrolled in juuku or sports in lieu of babysitting. I don't think this is a bad idea altogether.

An intelligent, tallented and articulate young woman with a head for business and a message of empowerment for victims of bullying. Sad that so many people that would ordinarily harp on about the supposed sheep mentality of people in this country would jump on someone that shows a bit of individuality.

Yep! And they`re everywhere.
As long as they aren`t labeling other males as sluts and whores they can proceed as they like.

Whyever not? This is the state of play in Australia at the moment in a nut shell but I
ll expand just for you shall I? A large portion of the country using the 'queue jumper' label to hide, not their xenophobia but their greed, exactly the same way they whinge about import of skilled labour to shore up the billions worth of mining projects coming online during the next part of the boom. Both sides of the government d***ing around with off shore solutions and jobs boards to keep the voters happy instead of growing a pair, processing everyone faster and keeping the asylum seekers off welfare by standing up to the mining companies and having them invest in people whove already made a permanant move, rather than imported and temporary labour.Posted in: 123 rescued after asylum-seeker boat capsizes en route to Australia

Having orgasms and being plain horny are two different things. I`ve had more than my fair share of both but I would love for 'science' to be right about my impending peak! Though I'd much rather be popping a more mature vintage than something freshly bottled. Half a mans age plus ten is my equation of choice.
*Perhaps if guys didn't label women sluts, whores... when they were in their 20s for wanting sex and having it "like guys" women in their 20s would be more open with it all?? *
Guys labeling women sluts, and whores? Heh, that's funny.

Let them in, filter out the possible terrorist links and march them straight to the mines. Force Gina and Clive to train them up. They've mostly come from hot desolate countries, no? Straight out to the Pilbara. Perfect! It's the answer to the labour shortage. Two birds and all that.

So we'll be seeing boys in skirts too right? They aren't making them hitch them up higher either. Won't it be grand when we can finally stamp out sexual desire altogether and all live happily ever after in long white caftains as equals?

No, that's got nothing to do with it. This was a bad plan, or rather, it seemed like a good idea at the time before they actually researced and asked these kindergartens what they thought. And just as the LDP and New Komeito say, the money needs to go into expanding the system as it is now. The logistics and costs of renovating existing kindergartens to be able to accomodate 0-2 year olds and fall in line with regulations for such centres is just not worth it and the interest is just not there. I think they were trying to kill two birds with one stone, have the private sector help with the creation of places for infants and propping up the dwindling kindergarten market.

@ Blair I hear you. Especially the transfers. Lived in the same complexes as Coast Guard families and they have it tough. Hokkaido to Okinawa. I understand the benifits of the system but financially it's very hard. My h is never really in danger but if there's a big quake he's out the door and on his way before the ground stops shaking. But he loves it and I'm proud of how hard he works. Fat cat politicians and thier cronies are not the same as rank and file public servants!

Normal people don't want to work there because normal people have sense enough not to work in the middle of a tinder box for minimum wage.

Well this is a bit of a downer. But I still love it. Can't wait to go up. I think its perfectly situated. Especially for tourists. You can't deny the tourists love Asakusa and you can just walk over from there. Done it a few times now kids in tow and all. Going the opposite way, doing Asakusa then jumping on a ferry is also a good way to go. Nice way to fill a day. I feel for poor old Tokyo Tower though. Are they even going to fix the tip? Though the omiyage stores look a gazillion times better at The Tree than The Tower.

So glad Anthony is staying on. Loved him ever since he was a Cockroach. Still got it. The other three are looking a bit ragged round the edges and could do with a change. Looking forward to the new lineup. Long live The Wiggles!
