If this is a once in a thousand year event, then yes.

I am American and IvanCoughalot pointing out the nationality doesn't bother me in the least. Many Americans are workaholics for no reason. The capitalist brainwash. Lazy people relish their time. Everyone will be dead soon enough. Remember that. It seems the American bloke gets this.

So Wednesday night at 7:55 when I was on my way home from work on the train reading without a care in the world this poor kid was suffocating to death in a garbage bag at the hands of his mother. Absolutely terrible. I pray for his peace in Heaven.

Poor kid. I hope he finds peace in Heaven. Why can't these people just take themselves out, and leave the kids alone.

I live in Tokyo and things are returning to normal, but if radiation problem gets worse the stores will sell out again, so stock up while you can, for example: -go shopping early (8am) -go to parts of Tokyo with few residences and you will find water in vending machines -have a plan b to evacuate to friends or family somewhere outside tokyo

My Gosh Man! I hope they are rationing, otherwise there is nothing left once you make it in. I told my wife to get powdered milk for the young one just in case milk sold out but her generation is inflexible and not used to hardship so she just rolled her eyes. My grandparents from the US Depression era used to eat anything. One Japanese man I worked with from Tokushima said food was so scarce after the war that he used to catch and eat frogs.

“Unequivocally, Tokyo will not be affected by the radiation fallout of explosions that have occurred or may occur at the Fukushima nuclear power stations.” > Then why the heck are the US Navy ships way out at sea so concerned?

I think the woman above with the cheating husband would have been better off to live a loveless marriage and make a boyfriend on the side. Japan is tough on single mothers, and it only gets worse as they get older.

I'm scared to take the subway now. Tried to get on the Hibiya Line today but it was unmercilessly jam packed. Imagine if there is another earthquake in that kind of crushing train car under the city!

Doesn't an independent country have a right under international law to defend its existence from foreign invasion or internal insurgency?

Since I have lived in Japan I have always frequented the 300 yen public gyms. Without exception you can easily make friends there.

I can't recall any territorial dispute that was peacefully settled except the return of Hong Kong to China by the UK which was based on a lease agreement in the first place.
