I'm at a loss on this one. Two U.S. sailors get life for their crimes recently and this version of Robert Dinero "Taxi Driver" gets 13 years offering neither apology nor remorse. What am I missing here?

As I've mentioned on many other post concerning this issue, far too many large trucks on Japanese roads with little to no zoning to control their movement in residential areas as well. One could get lost on the highways here by not knowing where to exit because of being surrounded…

Concur with LFRAgain, I would imagine if the same happen to me, no one in my hood would be concerned about my whereabouts other than the landlord angry because the rent is overdue.

Do the math here; two 22 year olds with a two year old. Most Japanese at one time were good about not starting a family until they were a bit older. Of course that was the pre-bubble era when kids were taken care of by wealthy moms and dads. Now…

There should to be some way to educate the good people of Japan, that people are not some form of tool, toy or appliance, and you should not destroy of discard it once it does not function at 100%. In Sickness and Health!

I wish just once you superior beings would just say "ah sad story" and leave it at that without all the 20/20 hindsight and quips about the "flaws of Japanese society and culture" as you percieve it with your oh so perfect eyes.

I am not blaming the father for anything here

I too had many a fishing trips with my father as a tyke, however I do remember my moms saying "don't take your eyes off of him" to my father each time. I do blame the father! Many will argue here…
