Australia and France drive on the same side of the road?

It doesn't matter which side of the road you drive on as long as your country has an agreement with Japan to recognize each others licenses. You also need to have a valid license from your 'home' country…

It's the economy, stupid.

Seriously though, I personally think temp agencies should be investigated. While I think in some instances these agencies fulfill a role it has allowed large companies to almost completely do away with permanant positions which conveniently allow these companies to stop all benefits. The temp agency…

Seems like the perfect example of someone who should've been tased or had the stuffing knocked out of him (without killing him, I know).

Did you miss the part when it was reported that the officer hit him with a baton?

Really? Have you forgotten about the crazy who offed 8 kids in Osaka? That guy was certifiable. A complete nutter. He was in solitary for 3 years and then executed. There is no way a an insanity plea will mitigate this guys actions. My guess is that he will never…

rtrhead1,

You don't think this guy will be in solitary until he is put to death?

BTW, from what I have read, the police officer in question chased the guy down, dis-armed him and prevented further killing without killing the suspect who can now face punishment. Pulling out a gun…

No problem with the increases... as long as you are aware of what you are paying for at the time of purchase.

I had an experience recently with No. 1 Travel. Booked a flight home and was quoted a certain price, invoice was sent, etc. The day I was to…

This guy was from Susono, Shizuoka. The most normal, calm and peaceful place I have ever lived... Go there and there and see for yourself where this guy came from (if you can find it!) Anyway, I hope this guy doesn't get the death penalty. It would be too humane…

I wonder how many station masters are worried about losing their jobs to stray cats...

According to this article all it takes to be a 'super station master' is to never complain, let passengers touch you all over... and have patience and charisma. Not a bad pussy actually ;) I…

'Why the 23-day without charge rule?' Why not? Why not allow the prosecution to build the case for these criminals?

Criminals? You seem to be assume that all people arrested and held are automatically guilty. That just isn't the case. Otherwise the arrest rate (those detained) would be hovering…
