Another to agree with Fusedentropy: If two consenting adults want to have children, they are basically forsaking their single lives to be parents. It's really not optional. It's a requirement.

There are some people who just don't understand this. Now, this young girl (23) made this kid with an extremely…

What gets me is the typical J-court disparity in the sentence. Mom gets half the sentence. Why?

And the 15 year old is living where? And has to pay for her phone how? Hmmm

I just want to know who were the dudes that first caught the fish, ate it, then died. Then I want to know who saw this and said, "there has to be a way to eat this fish".

Umm, kind of like white people in horror movies. They are the…

Great...

Don't pay any fees, though. I wonder if they'll have an embezzlement special, kind of a how-to series so others will know how to do it right.

I think by saying "foreigner", passport control will get a little tighter. the sumo wrestler will be let off because he had no control, or was drunk when he did it. Judges like that.

Oyaji no DNA wakaranai, ne?

As those above have mentioned the family courts here are screwed up. I'd hate to get into something protracted with my wife. Sayonara kids....

A flight to the US with United is half the price of JAL or ANA. Of course they will loose customers. The fact that the United flights to Hawaii are booked solid is another example.

But don't worry, there will be government intervention to "protect" the Japanese companies. They'll find…

OssanAmerica: Exactly.

basically, NK has only the threat of war as it's bargaining tool. They have nothing else. And anyone who thinks depriving them of UN aid is really out of touch. None of that goes to the people. it goes to the military, and the occasional photo-op Pyongyang uses…

Y600,000 is not a lot to take... And finally, a judge who hands down a fitting sentence. I mean, castration should also be in the cards, but this is a start.

The funny thing is she could have strung him along saying she was 18. Now before people start gasping, "oh, you can tell the difference", well, if you live here, quite a bit of the time, you can't. So that could be the case.
