Safety is not on the top of Japanese peoples list I have noted. Kids running around in car parks, riding bikes late at night without lights when they should actually be in bed for the night and the most insane thing grown adults do is stand directly behind a backing…

Ahh yes must have been rape by logic since prostitution is illegal in Japan (last time I heard anyway) so he must have raped rather than not paid. None the less, any way you look at this story you gotta think something is strange. The story is a bit ambiguous…

Agree with ironchef also, last week I made the same comment "for a country surrounded by sea, they are the worst I know of for watermanship"

Easiest way is to set up a cell phone blocking transmitter on the school grounds and then the rule could be implemented equally for all including teachers who also don't need a cell phone while at work because they can use a land line.

Yeah thats right, they are going to rip open the coral ball and look at its internal organs, rip out its heart and lungs, mince its liver and test every thing. OOhhhh Ahhh, its all just dead coral skeletons on the inside and we don't have to kill it after…

The manufactures are not getting it close to the mark in terms of savings. To solar panel your house you are looking at a 19 year investment just to break even but houses of that age are considered scrap and by that time there would be new ones you would…

The death penalty is being debated but the root of this story is the fact that the police fabricated evidence or with held it to get a conviction rather than the truth. How many others are convicted wrongly in Japan allowing the culprits to be free. If the truth was…

An 8 year old boy can play by himself pretty much unsupervised except for a mobile phone and then at 1 am mum thinks its a bit too late for him to be out. Stranger danger should not even be an issue if the kid was better supervised. What do…
