    pukey: yep he can set up a nice career after baseball by playing a few more seasons in Japan. Never really did a lot for the Mariners except merchandising.

    good! keeping their culture at home where it belongs. kinda asinine to catch whale every year to study what they eat considering they eat the same thing every year. i.e local fish.

    Well no one ever accused conservatives of being smart. Fox is catering for a market. A stupid market but a lucrative one none the less.

    Is the father older than the mother? Incomplete story here. How the older sister gets better soon and the younger sister gets treatment.

    She grows faster than her classmate

    She was born in April, it's possible her classmate was born 11 months later. Yeah nice hair.

    People criticize the Japanese courts, but neglect to mention that 60% of Japanese divorces do not even need court rulings,

    Possibly due to the fact that over 90% of sole custody is granted to the mother. The fact that 60% of the population chooses not to fight for their right of child custody is not a flag one should wave about with pride. Absent father kids are statistically proven to have social and psycological challenges than their counterparts. Perhaps this breakdown of balanced parenting influences the high number of suicides in Japan amongst the young? Noriko voluntarily gave up alimony and sundry funds by breaking the terms of her court decision that is not a reasonable counterpoint. Was her ex husband acting like a total pr!ck? perhaps but she went into the process with her eyes open as an adult. What happened to the Japanese stick it out till the end?

    She had little clue as to how the American courts operated, and so had little recourse.

    She must have heard of a lawyer?

    Cicada: $800,000 was all it took for poor Noriko san to take her kids to the USA. She isn't blameless. Acts for money = mercenary mum.

    Tokyo has argued that signing the convention may not protect Japanese women and their children from abusive foreign husbands.

    It doesn't argue the case that it may protect foreign women from abusive husbands cause we all know that Japanese are peaceful non-aggressive orientals unlike the aggressive war like gaijin.. What a weak spineless reason Tokyo comes up with.

    double sided coin. If they actively use them in promotion they are fair game. Families to if the celebrity puts their kids in the public spotlight.

    But the question is whether or Mr. Savoie retained a US passport in good faith

    Timor your (if) is a moot point. It wasn't the case here or they US wouldn7t touch this case. They know the law better than us JT pundits.

    Those figures are way under reported. My friend is a Japanese virologist and told me that the figure of real cases in Japan should be closer to ten times the reported number. Patients fear ostracism and so they request the data is kept private.

    Newsman your wrong on this matter. As long as he holds a US passport(a citizen) Jt is correct. Why would the US embassy be involved otherwise?

    Willing might be the term used but it is not enforced nor is there a law to support it. I know lots of people holding both passports as both countries do not question the coming and going of its citizens. Too much of a hassle.

    Absolutely I said here about 2 weeks ago Japan wouldn't want to open that can of worms, quite a number of famous and prominent Japanese have dual nationality. If he got busted on this matter his lawyers could wreck more than a few careers.

    RomeoRamenII :" barack can promise whatever he wants. The rookie senator from Illinois will never get nominated".

    Kinda puts your shrill anti Obama rhetoric in perspective. Yes efforts are more important than success cause without the first you will never get the second.
