Oh please go away Palin. I could take but 2 minutes of her interview on CNN yesterday before barfing and changing the channel to BBC world. The world would not tolerate Palin at all.
Putin would throw her out of the Kremlin after ten minutes. Sarkozy would just curse, get up, and leave the room. Gordon Brown would frown and pout. Ahmadinejad would build some nukes. John Key would get a free trade deal. Kevin Rudd would replace himself with Chopper Reid for the meeting. Osama would come out of hiding.
The only world leader who she can get along with is nantonaku Aso.

I hope the Japanese people shock the world and vote this corrupt establishment out so that an equally corrupt establishment can replace it.

How is asking questions of the where abouts, state and condition of the other parent blaming them? Its simply trying to get to the bottom of it instead of calling in the lynch mob for just one parent. Theres plenty of rope to hang them both if indeed the case may warrant it. we are talking about a 3 month child getting smacked in the head. if both were to blame, both should be punished. There are questions that need to be answered.
Counter to that, when a mother kills herself and the child, every single poster asks where was here husband? did she have no support and then even drag the womans parents, friends, social services, doctors and mental health care workers, and Japanese culture into the argument.
Now a man hits his kid, which is appalling, and he is the only one worthy of disgust? Maybe that is the case here but maybe its not. Maybe both parents are worthy of disgust and the article leaves a lot of unanswered questions.

where? I just asked where she was and what she was doing. Its a valid question. Do you think that they just met 4 months ago and that the stalk dropped them off a little basket so she had absolutely no idea about what this animal is capable of? no prior warning? no shots over the bow? Nothing? Is that realistic? Did she choose to stay in a house of violence? did she choose to leave her child with a man prone to rage? These are valid questions. Its not blaming her because these is not enough information but then if you chose to read selected lines, I guess you can make anything fit your theory and mandate.

I never blamed the baby for anything. Quite clearly I showed hate for the father. I just asked where was the mother and where is the rest of the story? 10:20 pm at night and she left her 3 month old with a guy who commits acts of violence? why? what was she doing? was she gambling or running for her life? was she drinking or out buying nappies? where is the rest of the story? You cannot rule out the possibility that she can take some of the blame because you do not have the full facts. However, anyone who punches a kid in the mouth should be thrown to the lions and anyone who leaves a hapless child to the mercy of a raging, out of control, brute deserves a good old fashioned flogging.

They should hire that Japanese research team that tracked the Yeti through the mountains. They will get their man. Either them or Quint from Jaws. Quint will put 2 barrels in Osama before he even knew what hit him.

Oh yes. It would have been much much better for me. I would have enjoyed it immensely. I would have loved it more if she got a knife from the kitchen and stabbed him with it. That would have given me so much pleasure. Oh thank you for dragging such slime from where ever it exists in your mind.

I don't want to sound like a jerk but really, 10:20pm at night and she left a 3 month old alone with that miserable failure of a father? There must be a whole lot more to this sad story for example, he is a typically irritable drunk with a permanent hang over so a baby crying is impossible for him to bare.
But really, I am all for women taking some time out from being a mum and having a rest but had he called her 2 or 3 or 4 times to come home? was she out gambling or drinking herself for hours and often? Or did he just lose it because he is a selfish SOB?
Anyway you cut it, that poor boy has the worst parents. What a way to start your life. The cops should have given him a few swings with the baton.

I am not sure what to make of that ruling. At what point does a friend become responsible for another's actions. Will they start arresting family members if someone throws them self in front if a train? She made the choice to drink and drive alone. If he had of detained her maybe the headline would read "former gangster arrested for detaining drunk woman".

North is right. Why should she have to bow in 建前 Tatemae to the media when she already has to use so much 建前 Tatemae at her fathers party. The media should hound food company executives with that passion. Of course then they risk losing valuable advertising contracts so they do not.

hahaha. Funny. I guess after someone said "victory salarybots" or "destroyer sakuras" or "win win shinkansens" or "dynamic semiconductors" they ran out of ideas.
