He probably is in much more debt now and still can’t pay, so he decided to turn himself in for a life sentence. Thus insuring the loan sharks will not be able to get a hold of him to make his life a bit more painful.

Criminals like him will…

This is old advice for those that enjoy the chase and excitement of extra marital affairs. From the Ojisans I know, it is a normal custom to have a mistress on the side. From the younger generation, it is something they need to try at least once. Remember the famous…

Senseless violence or planned terrorist attack to embarass the Chinese government? Doesn't matter eather way, a foriegner was targetted and murdered by a deranged/driven person. The Chinese government security force should place the whole family under arrest until an answer is found.

Either that or the US should just decline…

With that, Seanzso, I am pretty sure the emails were more graphic than " I am watching you ". To have an investigation that follows leads to a fake name and then identifying Shimoyama as the culprit, it is probably more sinister than published. The punishment should fit the crime.…

There is a moral with story, with power their is leniency(as long as you are a Japanese citizen). It is the same story line as a while back, a police chief that text-stalked a woman. He gave an apology and had his hand slapped for it.

Fast food is just like gasoline. If someone wants it, they will find the money to buy it. It is a shame, my first visit to Japan in the late '80s versus now is quite a change. The introduction of fast food has changed the culture. I noticed the stereo…

She's divorced, and with the Japanese law, she only has to wait six months to remarry. I think I would like to take her out for a few drinks to lift her spirits.

At least she kept it in the family and not killed innocent bystanders. Darwins theory of natural selection seem to fall into place somewhere in these recent murders.

If John Edwards used protection, hooked up with Mitsuyo Kusano or Mona Yamamoto, this would probably not of been so devastating to his career. The story is more on his family and career, not on his "affair".

He made a choice from his role model to do this act (without…

Why should she quit? Public humiliation, cultural taboo, peer pressure? If she was living with them, would'nt that mean he was seperated (leagally) from his family? Or did he have a secret aprtment he would go to a few days out of the week to be with Yuko Aoki and…
