  I can imagine Nishimura's source of such info, late night drunk session with Yaks. But it would be tough to cite that.

  "BluescriptMAY. 10, 2013 - 07:08PM JST Papigiulio, thanks for the link. But section 2 described rules (guidelines?) for pedestrians. Lower down, section 4 describes the rules for autos; and 4.8 states: Pedestrians crossing the street at a crosswalk have right-of-way. Always be sure to check for pedestrians crossing the street. If there are any, be sure to stop and wait for them.

  So cars should stop. I agree that many (most?) do not. Cops should enforce this law."

  I don't understand why this would get any thumbs down. It is not only the law, it is common sense.

  He was in the right place. The arrow was in the wrong place.

  Just so. Having lived in Europe, I watched many children become fluent in 3, 4, 5 languages at an early age, no problem.

  "Chuck it into..."

  Huh? I was hoping to see language that is understandable. Is this a technical term that I missed the boat on?

  If you had gone outside and tested the wind, you could have easily understood that this cloud could not have come from China.

  It seems that this horrible situation is going to be the New Japan. Something needs to be done to support these caregivers.

  Prosecute the hospitals for accessory to murder.

  Reading the headline, I imagined a 15- or 16-year-old. 19 is hardly youth, and definitely should be adult.

  In most workplaces, it's forced overtime, and karoshi. This type of top-down bullying is endemic.

  Notice a pattern here--the countries that were victims of J-aggression are all pushing back, Russia, Koreas, China, Taiwan. The worm turns.
