Too funny, women actually are on the prowl for financially stable men? Say it isn't so.
Posted in: The recession has made me realize I'm not going to make as much money as I expected, and I'd be more stable financially if I had a double income to fall back on.

Lets do the math, she is 22/23 years old now and the information passed was Dec 2008. Why would it be an issue now? Is there a statue of limitations for the prosection of certain crimes? I am not condoning the alleged indecent behavior, but can only see maybe either revenge for the behavior or payback for bad grades.

It should be interesting to read the followup story in a few months on how the J-cops handle this case in comparison to a foriegner in the same situation.

Yes Soldave, modern day Marines are at fault for UXO's that are over 60 years old. Never mind the efforts of todays US Military Explosive Ordinance disposal teams working together with the Japanese to dispose of the UXO's all over the island. I am pretty sure the Japanese military during the war didnt have any explosives to defend them selves from the Marines... By the way, if anyone visits Okinawa, watch where you step, it maybe an earth shattering experience.

The age group of the teens, area of incidents, and the frequency of the murders/attempted murders to the parents; I would think there is a trend happening. I hope the J-cops are doing research on the Internet websites. It may be a cult thing to kill parents. I remember a while back about a suicide website kids were posting on to kill themselves.

If the government would see the whole picture, this would be a great opportunity to use the upcoming stimulus payment money in a better way. Instead of giving the whole population of Japan 12000 yen each, they could put it in an environmental land cleanup campaign. The homeless could live in communes in the rural area, have a place to live, and be gainfully employed. For a wage of 1500 yen an hour and reduced rent,

Well, going back to the original article, Saiki came out of his house to confront the passing Marine. No mention if he was drinking or not. Just the fact that he lied about being hit by the Private. He will get a suspended sentence because of a mental sickness, similar to the article earlier about the man killing the government officials 8 years after his dog was killed.

This story is typical of the Japanese society being a bunch of drunks and violent people. That and being prejudiced against those that do not look japanese.

Living in Japan for eight years, I have Japanese friends without vehicles and they have no desire to own one. The ones with vehicles replace them every four years. I guess on my level I do not see a difference in sales with the group I hang around with.
I would like to see the percentage being exported to other countries in comparison to what is sold domestically?

It is hard lessons in life that people learn from. Not to sound sarcastic in this thread, but I would think that Tachibana-san will ensure everyone in his vehicle will have their seat belts on when and if he is able to drive again.
If Japan enacts a stiff penalty as they do with alcohol related incidents, these fatalities would decrease. The operator of the vehicle should be made totally responsible for the lives of the passengers in the car.
My condolences to the family on the passing of Kaeda.

The J-cops should start watching the local beauty salons and question anyone fitting the description seen collecting hair from the rubbish bins.

It sounded like the J cop missed his target and to save face, he called it a warning shot. Most law enforcement agencies are trained to use deadly force when their life is at risk.
