"We are opposed to making sexual crimes subject to jury trials in the first place..."

I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out why this women's group would want to leave this in the hands of any of these fossil, MEN (sorry, but MOST are men) judges. Most…

Why would a president of JR West be the only one in a position to make such a decision?

Well with the amount of power people with power hold in Japan I wouldn't doubt that an order could have come from the president directly to double efforts to get trains…

Totally agree with Yuka, "blvtzpk," and "IchyaWarFare." Finally a woman who used her body to become famous comes back to delight us with why she's famous to begin with. I hate those women who used their bodies to become famous and then have the nerve to say they wanted to…

I find it hypocritical to say that

it is wrong to profit from the bombing of the city. when Hiroshima has been profiting as a tourist destination all of these years because it was bombed. If they want to consider themselves to be so altruistic then pay for people to…

While aboard the JR Chuo line between Shinjuku and Kanda stations, he looked on in amazement as a young woman applied cosmetics. During a span of approximately 20 minutes, she completely transformed herself.

This woman is a joke! She's a flake who needed to go to 6 colleges, count 'em 6, (!!!) in six years before she finally graduated and it just shows she can't commit to anything. The idea that the Republican Party would even consider supporting her for a 2012 run…

Everyone knows this guy is innocent so why is it necessary to have another trial??? Can't the prosecutors FINALLY drop the charges or is this a saving face issue? Does anyone know the law on this one?

And in the meantime the killer got away because the statute of limitations…

saborichan...

The ministry defines regular workers as those employed for more than one month??

That's what I've always heard and I wish international standards would be set on this so that the B.S. myth of Japan having 5% unemployment would stop.

Not only is a "REGULAR" worker defined as working…
