children returning the whale meat 80%? never heard of it mate. I am familiar with elementary schools and yes they serve whale meat but they don't return the meat most of the time. Why? there is nothing left but rice eh? anyway, I am not interested in their species, I am interested in my own. Go DARWIN lets evolve

old people wants to go to prison nowadays because they have free nursing care, free board and lodging, can earn money while doing forced labors, able to meet new friends and except for limited movement they don't have to worry about basic necessities, no taxes, and best, they are not lonely. The gov't has long neglected the care for its people. Charity begins at home as the adage says but in Japan, the gov't is willing to give Billions of DOllars to support the UN rather than doing something for its country.

harharhar, yup, I remember that paperclip and the stu*** dog coming out and which irritates everybody. Mac does not crash? duh. I had Mac G3, then G4, iMac, Icube, Macbook and even the early laptop 1993 ed and I say XP and Vista are more user friendly, it is easier to learn for most individual, and work with almost all available softwares. If you want to look at computers go for Mac, they make good and cool designs. Linux/Ubuntu? I keep on telling myself to learn the OS but I never find it easy (I am not a geek). A new OS not as annoying as Vista and less hardware requirements is a welcome. The faster Microsoft phase-out vista, the better.

vista is actually cool, I used to hate it but once you get past the learning curve its actually better than xp except for the need for quite steep hardware requirements. A new OS? hmm actually, its just a repackaged vista less the annoying properties...can't wait for it.

Do I care what will happen in the next 100 or 1,000 years when I am busy trying to find something to keep me alive? And besides, the other day, they said it won't rain the whole day so I took out my laundry and had a thunderstorm in the afternoon. Today, the news said that the possibility of rain is zero percent...we just had a brief rainshower. If the computers they are using can't even predict the the chances of rain in a day, how come they can predict the climate in the next 1,000 years? I say, this climate change is all BS

hit and run gets a lesser sentence in Japan compared to drunk driving resulting to accident or death. And of course, Osaka is known for hit and run...its the most notorious place for hit and run in Japan actually followed by either Kanagawa or Saitama. Anyway, the morning said that they plan to charge the driver if found with voluntary manslaugther as record shows that the car is travelling at a speed of less than 40 kph so the guy may have lived if the driver just stopped and called an ambulance.

a drunk driver will never stop if they hit someone in Japan as the sentence is quite severe so they would rather run and then surrender when they are sober so that they will get a lighter sentence or even suspended sentence and quite a minimal fee. Also, they will pay less when the other party is dead as the victim will get insurance payment in contrast to medical bills and other expenses. Drunk driving plus accident maybe equal to 15 years plus hundreds of millions of yen...hit and run...maybe 3 years suspended sentence.

usually only those with connections to the underworld operates loan business in Japan...and maybe the Yakuza ask for help from the police and of course the police has to respond as they are spineless against yakuza. Amazing, 100 investigators. How about sending one competent and intelligent investigator? Numbers don't count mate especially bungling officers

hmmm, they were not caught in the airport customs I think. Reading the news, they went to an island and when they returned, they brought some lizards with them. Were they exporting? its not clear as they are not yet going out the country. I don't see any problem yet. You can't put a person to jail by mere speculation. They were caught with a lizard, yes...exporting not yet

but many who wants to get rich falls into many temptation for the love of money is the root of all evil and yes, greed was rewarded to its full. The fall of one of the biggest bank in America send shiver to the spine of world economy and history is bound to repeat itself just like the great depression time. A lot of people got burned, and yup fire is still going and no end in sight at the moment
