The core point here is about accepting responsibility. Just because things exist, and other countries do them, and there was a war going on - this doesn't eliminate responsibility.
Beware the politician who continually tries to dodge owning up to actions.

Whoa...slow down there. Don't do anything drastic with bringing these human tape-recorders into the classroom. Maybe a 50 year plan would be less disruptive and less shocking for students and staff.

NKorea talking trash has been the ideal turn of events for Abe - gives him a chance to play along & show the people how strong of a leader he is.

Regardless of how it turns out, checks and balances on any of Hashimoto's methods are important. He's a guy that defines himself as 'pushing limits and showing strength', thus those limits need to be clearly defined.

He had no driver's license and they were joyriding - it makes no difference if he was sleeping or not.
5-8 years for killing 3 people in this situation isn't enough. This is embarrassing and sad.

I swear The Hash just looks for opportunities where he can voice an extreme opinion, so his followers will feel "he's a strong leader who's not afraid to say what he thinks".
Besides that, however, I hope he does eventually back-up his statements here. I'd like to seem some change seriously implemented. A zero tolerance stance might be needed for a while.
