One more way of Japanese ensuring their demise.

Let's look at what we read these days. 1. Women won't marry unless they can get a guy who meets their financial standards. Yet most eligible single men fall well short of those expectations. 2. The rise of so called herbavore men…

I want to answer your question directly. The answer is no.

My loved ones are non-violent people. They are gentle and giving people. They would suffer themselves before allowing another to suffer. And they would be merciful even to someone terrible.

Would I want to kill him/her. Maybe the…

The death penalty brings our society down to the level of the killer. It sends a clear message that problems can be solved through violence when the state should be showing the higher moral and humanitarian ground.

This guy was a monster. But killing him made monsters of society as…

One other thought. These guys invariably come back with an apology and explaination. I think these guys show their true colors and then have to try to cover them up again. But fact is this guy sounds like just another xenophobic, selfimportant twit who thinks his culture is the only…

Well some things never change. The ruling party must have some moron in their ranks. Seems Ozawa will be the new Aso and work hard to raise the bar on foot in mouth disease and public demonstrations of stupidity.

I don't support child abduction by either parent. But the sitution in Japan is legally and socially one sided. Simply put. Japanese parent wins. Period! This is not right.

Without more details I can't justify or condemn this man for his actions. I can say this, if I thought my…

I've had first hand experience with the cops at this Chiba station and I can tell you with absolute certainty that competence is not a word I would use to describe their behavior or capabilities.

It is very easy to see how they let him get away in the first…

I hope this guy spends the rest of his life rotting in a Japanese prison. But my guess is, he will not. A death penalty ruling would be controversial as more civilized nations don't support state sanctioned murder and I doubt her parents would be keen to see that.

And…

I feel so sorry for this family. There is no resolution for this kind of senseless act. The best they can hope for is to see Ichihashi rot in jail for the rest of his life. But even that may be too much to hope for.

combinibento. sometimes the truth just sneaks up on us. I do think Japan's defence forces are very competent. But there are just too many very good reasons for Japan to stay out of the military world and to retain her current position.
