Alladin, what's your alternative? Abstinence? Sometimes accidents happen and they can happen to anyone. The mother cold have been out working to support her family. The 14 year old was probably the babysitter who probably had another situation to deal with in the house and made a bad choice.

At least it's not a giant nude 17 year old like the big weekly playboy ad in front of the police box at Tamachi station.

Obama confirmed what we Jews have known all along: When the Arabs lays down their guns, there will be peace. When Israel lays down its guns, there will be no Israel.

Please don't speak for all of "us" Jews. Your thoughts are worlds apart from mine. In order to have peace there must be a Palestinian state.

Last year when I was working at a high school in Yokohoma, I overheard a phone call with a teacher and Hello Work. A female student was trying to get a part time job at a massage parlor. The teacher was doing all that he could to prevent it, but from what I heard, everything was cool with Hello Work and the teacher was unable to stop the student from making such a terrible decision.

big payday for the woman and her daughter. no more sheets to turn over

This woman just hit the lottery !!!!!!! What an idiot he could have hired a woman !!!! I know he can afford it.

Pretty disturbing comments here. In the case that this actually happened and he is guilty of the accusations, I'm sure the victim would have preferred not to have been forced upon a monster than to have been forced upon a wealthy monster.

Hostess to racy model. I'm stereotyping, but it seems at a young age she was involved in business that treats her not as a person, but as an object. Such treatment can destroy people.

Weird scene. They act like their team just won the Super Bowl. Do they realize how many more lives, including possibly some of their own, may be snuffed out in a future terrorist attack?

I shed no tears for bin Laden, but celebrating anyone's death like that is bizarre.

I agree 100%

I'm confused.

The article reads as if he actually found a lost child and reported her to the staff!

I voted no. I think they should be held in honor of the victims and to help raise funds for the survivors.

Two months of job-hunting netted her a position at a nursing home – still part-time, but now five days a week, from 5:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.

This needs to be addressed!

Not once in my 64 months in Japan have I ever had a less than pleasant experience in the cab. Sometimes I feel tired and hope to get a driver who isn't friendly so I don't have to chat.

I feel the above "article" paints a portrait which differs greatly from the reality which I experienced.

However, I do wish taxis would show more consideration for pedestrians.

I understand the implications of the US entering. Normally I am very anti-war, but I think the no-fly zone needs to be enforced.

I am extremely against war.

But self defense is another story.

I would hope that those capable use their power to protect those in danger instead of sitting on the sidelines awaiting an outcome.
