Michihisa escaped through a door in the police cell using a key that was on a guard’s desk before the guard noticed that he was missing.

People without a job accounted for 18,990 or 57.4% of the total in the year, those who made a living on a pension 4,982 and jobless people 1,756.

Is it just me or does this not make sense. Is there a difference between people without a job and jobless people?…

They were on the roof to measure their strides??? Could they not measure them in the playground? This wreaks of stupidity. I think it's only luck that there was only one kid went through through the roof and not half the class. I can't comprehend why the halibet they were…

Well, marriage means to couple two things together. So, you could marry your keyboard if you were so inclined. Same sex marriages? Who cares? I'm more concerned about 'some sex' marriages.

But, child abuse is not only physical. Emotional and verbal abuse is just a part of the culture here. You only have to spend one afternoon in a Jp high school to see that. One form of non-physical punishment given to trouble boys is to shave their heads. Then humiliate…

Is it politically correct to call him black? Shouldn't he be addressed as a half African/American from Hawaii? It's odd that, one African/American can call another black, but if a European says the same he is a racist. Just my observation.

Interestingly enough, after 33 comments nobody has a logical reason. The fear of change seems the most logical to me. Or, let's go one step further and say, they like to be different.
