Igotchu, I think your interpretation of abduction as a crime is wrong, it doesn't allow for instances in which one parent is absent, them being unable to give there consent. Indeed, I think the litmus test in legal proceedings would be to test as to whether the alleged party is…

All thorough-bred dogs are inbred - labradors particularly so - they have a lot of problems from it - susceptibility to poor eyesight, deafness, cancer, heart disease, smelly breath, and the inability to move the tail independently of the body.

Couple of quick comments - the incidence of deafness in…

Yeah, JT you might want to change the word "abduction" until such time as there is a court case, and this father fails the litmus test of being a "caregiver" to the child. Furthermore, the big difference between this case and those of Japanese nationals who have run back to…

What a tragic waste and a great sadness for the family. One minute you are having breakfast with somebody, and the next time you see them it is down at the coroners on a slab. Such events are simply soul destroying.

But it failed to specify the cause of death I don't have a medical degree, but I would put my money on decapitation.

On a more serious note, I hope this story about the body does not mean that we will be subject to updates every time the police find…

Scare him and let him run. And then unleash Japan's largest mastiff (who tipped the vet's scales last month at a rather imposing 129kg). Blood sport anybody?

Firstly, I get upset with people who refer to BURMA as myanmar, a term coined by the degenerate cabal of military axholes who are run the country in direct opposition to the will of the people.

Secondly, instead of just pressing Myanmar, Japan (with its extensive investments in the country…

Given this guy's athletic prowess (escaping some of the fast policemen in Japan - pass me another doughnut), I would probably break one of his legs before calling the police.
