Not unless you are 90. Then you would be looking at the 50 year old spring chicken with a new found glint in your eyes.

Just another act showing how really scared China is of Japan. Sort of like a bull terrier 'not' being scared of the neighbors cat.
So the problem is what? Is there a law saying you can not video destroyers?

apparently it was the fact that his body was covered in hair, he had a four day growth, his eyes were as wide as watermelons as he stood looking at the girls through a video camera.....oh and i forgot to add that he also looked to be carrying what could only be descibed as a tent under his bath towel.

Because one media outlet reported it and all the others followed like lemmings and now they are playing a game to see which one of them can squeeze the most out of it.....oh and as one of my japanese coworkers reminded me when i asked him the same question...because this is japan.

Anything is better than the enormously high pitched squeals coming from the girls standing out the front of some stores.

Posted in: What do you think about the custom in Japan of women giving chocolates to their male co-workers on Valentine’s Day as a form of “obligation,” and then receiving chocolates back from the men on White Day (March 14)?

So sad that he thought it was better getting hit by a train (if it wasn't an accident that is) than to have his parents find out about the problems at school.

the good old 'giddi' choco. Personally i think it is pointless. Office staff handing out giddi chocos to everyone within sight just because she feels she 'has to'.

Depends....if the child is being smacked on the bum or the hand and the parent explains why they got smacked..ok. But if the child is being hit across the face or about the head i would (and have) step in. I've seen some parents swift kick their toddlers in the behind which would have sent a ball 40m. The whiplash looked painful let alone the boot in the butt. I stepped in there as well.
Posted in: If you saw an adult hitting or roughly handling a child in public, would you intervene or just mind your business and assume it was a parent disciplining his/her child?

Dont forget the fresh bills...no crease marks whatsoever. I went to a wedding here with one of my friends from overseas who had never stepped foot in Japan prior to the wedding. His happy face turned pyscho when he thought someone was stealing his beer (bottle).....I had to assure him that all they want to do is fill up his glass for him....which they did, only for him to drink the lot in an instant without waiting for the kampai.

WTF is wrong with these inbreeds who kill their own?
So your answer was to kill him? Nice going mum! Nothing like that wonderful motherly love shining through. I'm sure you will be haunted (or at least i really do hope so) for the rest of your miserable life.....but then again you'll most likely shake it off and forget all about your poor innocent baby when the judge slaps your wrist and tells you not to do such a mean horrible thing again and sets you free within a week.
