Definitely not my cup of tea. What is an E-line anyway?

She disguised herself, showing premeditation. She ran away, showing lack of remorse and fear of capture. She is denying she did it, despite her friend recognizing her, showing she's a liar. She's also jobless, showing she is... erm, er... discriminated against, and she's 38, which is probably the true cause of her frustration, as many people in Japan comment negatively on a woman's advancing age, not the fact that she got stuck in the train doors as she says.

Come on blvtzpk, rjd_jr is just doing a little harmless trolling. As he said, people change their views all the time here.
By the way, this was a dump truck for carrying earth, not a garbage truck. (Damax6, Azrael)
As to the event, well done to the crew for trying to break the staleness of J porn with new and exciting surroundings. Unfortunately they still haven't figured out how to break the staleness in plot... man forces boring agenda on woman.

I know a Japanese woman who can get excited and orgasm much faster than I learnt back in the States. She didn't need all the foreplay stuff I had religiously learnt. It doesn't always necessarily seem to be a factor of more time for women.

Notginger. He probably needed to be 100% sure she was dead, since she had already seen his face. She may have continued to look at him with puzzled eyes, so he continued stabbing her.

Following the logic, prisoners should not be killed or punished in any way. They should be rehabilitated! You end up with something like British prisons, overflowing with people who quite enjoy the life in those brightly-painted social club cum dormitories.
No rehabilitation takes place. Society degrades.
How to punish him if you shouldn't punish him? Is all punishment torture?
Should we feel sympathy for him? Should we feel anything for him? Why was he born? I feel sympathy for him, but I feel that I shouldn't be feeling sympathy for him. I should be hating him and loathing him and baying for his blood.
How's about... Should we ask him to spend the rest of his life on a treadmill generating electricity for the state, in order to pay for his slops and dishwater? Or would Sarge call that torture?

Yup, gotta agree there Madverts. They both look like semi-intelligent apes from the Planet of...
PS Not wishing to defend or attack anyone, but Achmydinnerjad should remember that Bush never said that Iran for example "should be wiped off the face of the Earth". There's a difference between trying to get someone to change, and wanting to wipe out a whole race.

Maybe he just wanted to prove his innocence. "If I tell them all that this is what I am going to do, if I keep them updated on my every move, then it will be their fault for not listening. I am not hiding anything. No-one ever listens to me; I am their creation. They could have stopped me..."

What about the Kyoto Seika University student who was stabbed riding his bicycle in Iwakura? in the north of Kyoto City last year. I wonder if this creep did it?

Use of the word Gaijin without the honorific 'san' or 'sama' is rude and offensive within the Japanese context. A quick "Gaijin SAN, deshou!" should correct most people immediately. ("Ijin san" is even more formal.)
Children tend to forget the honorific, without thinking. Parents and teachers usually correct children's use of such 'yobi-sute', but when it comes to the word Gaijin, maybe that's a grey area for many.
PS I have heard of Japanese employees working in a Japanese bank in London describing non-Japanese customers entering the bank as "Gaijin"... Just innocence? Inability to see things from other people's perspective? No sense of the ridiculous? LOL

The teacher took him to a staff room and called police. Hmmm... I wonder what else he did while waiting for the police?

Er, the problem with the usage here of U.S. slang 'gas' for gasoline is that in an article like this it becomes unclear whether this car will be a gasoline/petrol-electric hybrid, or really a gas-electric (as in LPG) hybrid...
Nowhere in the article does this difference become clear. Which is it that they are working on, I wonder? :8(

Well, I think London Hearts is good stuff. Pity it's on at the same time as that other educational program/programme, yes? You got it!
On the other hand I absolutely forbade either of my children ever to watch Crayon Shin Chan. Some of the kids in my classes who grew up on a diet of that... yuck, say no more.

GW Agree all the way. No respect for living creature nor environment. I get so disgusted that I start imagining the sea/river/lake taking revenge on the fishermen. Wrote my feelings re Japanese fishermen on JT before but got moderated, so I'll leave it like this...

When I was a kid I killed a tortoise by throwing it against a rock until it split open. In the woods, together with the kid next door. I wanted to know what was inside. He told his parents, and I got the blame. I locked myself in the bathroom to escape my father's wrath, but the maid promised me that if I unlocked the door I wouldn't get beaten. As soon as I opened the door I was grabbed, taken to the bedroom and caned, "in order to learn the sanctity of life". My biggest memory of that day was that adults are liars. The secondary lesson? It took me many years to realize.

Even if what you say is not 100% true, Jyan Bon, it sounds about 90% true. Thank you for your explanation of the reality in Myanmar. It sounds like a very cruel system.
I am glad the aid is moving now.
