actually, IF she were to type it your way, it's 隣が痴漢、運転さんを呼んで。 but again, unlikely.

excuse me?

If Canada did split in two, which part would be the 51st state and which part would be the 52nd state?

uh, newsflash smartass. you're broke. I suggest you take that into consideration before you begin claiming canada part of your crumbling country.

they're paying them despite not knowing what the money will be used for. knowing that if they simply ignore the situation, the so-called innocent civilians might retaliate.

damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I thought Obama was gonna sort all that out.

give the man a chance, he just took office.

Bush supporters, the only reason you weren't attacked after 9/11 is because his administration didn't need to mastermind, conspire or allow another one. They've already accomplished that "mission". please stop praising him for it. unless you praise every single person you meet that's not commiting a crime.

“You just fade out,” Bush told reporters from Texas newspapers last week. “That’s fine with me. The faster the fade, the better.”

I am amazed, for the first time in 8 years he is talking sense. congratulations Mr. soon-to-be ex-president, finally you have won my vote on something you said.

"Who wants to buy tinned grub in a bleeding sale. They're very small and you're not getting a decent meal out of any of them" ?

"Unemployed temp worker found dead from starvation in Osaka"

I bet this guy would have.

As I'm reading this, I can just imagine how many anti-saitama posters are gonna have a field trip with this article. For several months now I always thought they were unfairly generalizing, I'm starting to have a change of heart. no coincidence can be that bad.

if they did indead drown, a fitting end for waste of human life. if they faked it to get the foreign navies off their backs (I know I am giving them WAY too much credit) hopefully they'll catch some new breed of disease back home and die of that instead.

ditto. if this was a random act (not likely) good for the girl. if he was stalking her (most likely) then considering statistics, how many obsessed freaks give up after getting something from their victim? none? 0.1%? hope someone keeps a close watch on her. a big bro wouldn't be too bad.

up from zero to what? 0.1?

and as for those who find him an "embarrassment" to the japanese, bah. leave the man live out his dream of being in the movie.

(fortunately for him, being mysterious isn't a crime.)

The company says its internal rules do not prohibit drivers from >drinking but encourages them to show self-restraint

ah, yes, of course. rather than imposing common sense rules to protect their commuters they plead with their drivers to show self-restraint. is that why most japanese cops aren't armed? they plan on pleading with the criminals should a crime arise?

fantomas, not 10,000 yen. that was his "fare". he robbed him of whatever money he had picked up during his shift. the joke would be on the thief/murderer if the cabs other clients paid with a credit card tho.

more likely the suspect wanted to lure him as far away as possible from where he got onboard. they are less likely to find him if he's from another prefect. or if he commited the crime in another prefecture. how many miles does 10,000 yen get you anyway?
