Hardly a gold-digger. Her deceased father was extremely wealthy and I doubt she's ever wanted for anything.

Shiuu, it was me who called you on it in the other thread. I'm sure your friends would put you up and vice versa, but would they do it indefinitely? I find that hard to believe. I would open my home to my close friends for days, weeks but not…

It's sad that this pseudo-science is used for choosing a dating partner or members of a work team. However there are some real scientific projects researching the correlation between blood types and certain illnesses.

Posted in Blood type is a good tool to understand different human behaviors. Most Japanese have some knowledge of each blood type and its trait so blood type often becomes a good conversation piece. at 09:18 PM JST - 4th January

I used to get fukubukuro, it's a great way to get clothes and accessories on the cheap. The things you get can be worth more than three times the amount you pay. And if you don't like them, just swap them like these girls.

Takamoto lives in a welfare facility in Tama city as he has a mild intellectual disability,

I sincerely hope this won't be used as an excuse to let him off the hook. How evil can you be to attack someone sleeping rough, never mind beat them to death?

A friend of mine is currently living in a homeless hostel after spending 6 months staying with various friends (Shiuu, not even your closest friends can give you a home for ever!). He lost his job then his home. The longer he stays homeless, the less likely he is to…

Why don't you post a decent photo of her? The woman is gorgeous but you wouldn't know it from the dowdy photos on JT. Good luck to her, hopefully marriage will make her a little more mature and polite.

people should save money when they have accomodation provided to them.. I find it so hard to believe that people have to go homeless the same month they go jobless. It's just like those English teachers last year when the English school went under. There's nothing wrong with living for…

I don't think the state should be involved in forcing people to wear a seatbelt.

Yes they should. Because when you don't wear a seatbelt, you can also crush the other occupants of the car in an accident.

Japan needs a hard-hitting campaign with gory images combined with drastic police…

Right you are. But whose fault is that? Particularly the lack of friends or rainy day funds? Wait. I bet I know, it's "society," right?

Shiuu, you are very fortunate indeed if your friends are so good as to give you a home in your hour of need. However you…
