It is only a matter of time before Japan joins the 21st century, at least as far as marriage equality is concerned.

I live in Arizona, this place is literally down the street from nowhere:

Good to see that Kako is not afraid to get her hands dirty...

I believe she is wearing gloves.

Terrible.

Blame Israel.

All they have to do is stop the genocide.

Terrible.

Blame Hamas.

All they have to do is release the hostages.

There, fixed it for you.

If I'm being honest, my animals eat better than I do.

Exactly, Zionism is a political ideology. Judaism is a religion. The 2 are mutually exclusive.

Are you sure about that? It is possible for one to be a Jew and a Zionist, making them mutually inclusive.

We did this at my son's junior high school in Okinawa. Not 80km mind you, but a good 25km or so throughout the night.

Sad news for lonely Japanese middle-aged women and people who like terrible music.

Being married to a Japanese middle-aged women with a penchant for terrible tone-deaf J-pop music, I can confirm this assessment.

I literally ate at El Camaron a few weeks ago. Not the best part of the Valley.

To be fair, declining birth rates are being experienced in many developed economies. What remains to be seen is whether or not Japan will embrace a more welcoming immigration policy to help mitigate the downward trend (as other countries have done). As long as the oyaji political class is still in charge, call me skeptical.

The thief was most likely a graduate from one of Japan's elite universities, and will now spend the rest of his career as a day laborer.

Attacking children is the ultimate act of cowardice.

A different J-news source reported the suspect told police "I just wanted to kill somebody, it didn't matter who".

President Trump is absolutely right. The current status quo is unfair, out of date and not commensurate to where we are now. Japan should be mature enough now to defend itself and defend it's allies.

Agreed! So leave Japan right now.

Ryoko Hirosue has been on a downward spiral for a few years now. Maybe now is the time to take a break from show business.

You could just write "Man arrested after bringing gun into Japan undetected". The nationality would be implicit...

Or just "Tourist arrested after bringing gun into Japan undetected". I think we all know it would be a white male yank.

This is an easy solution. Just remove all US troops from Japanese soil.

If you want to be different from the norm then you have to accept the difficulties that come with it.

The fact that Mr. High is an American already makes him "different from the norm".

Well it's about time. People should devote their lives to evangelical proselytizing, the Ten Commandments and Intelligent Design/Creationism, NOT science-based silliness like evolution.

America has been bamboozled by logic and reason for far too long.

Few companies can survive long without a consistent flow of revenue. Let this be a lesson to the rest of the entertainment industry, stop enabling predators.

...after a plea from a Muslim resident who told him that living in Japan "is very difficult" for his family because of the lack of graves.

Not to be cheeky, but the living don't need graves.

YAWN. This didn't even make the front page of CNN World News. More bluster from a pugnacious tin pot dictator.

Give them credit, they're making progress. It used to be the Ospreys themselves falling out of the sky.

Hence the Osprey moniker "Widow Maker".

That 633rd time was a step too far.

Among the eight injured were individuals unacquainted with the assailant...

I think we can safely put some of the blame on the accused in this instance.

I have to note the Philippines were also invaded and were overtake by the Portuguese Jesuits and are today's poorest nation in south east Asia.

Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Timor-Leste beg to differ...

Oyaji Japan proving itself to be decades behind the civilized world in many respects.

Pretty amazing when you consider the LV metro population is just a touch over 2 million.

With all the loony random assailants in Japan, just imagine how worse it would be if guns were a thing here.

On Thursday, a senior Air Force servicemember belonging to the Kadena Air Base was convicted of the kidnapping and sexual assault of a teenage girl last year, a case that triggered outrage on the island. 

The real outrage should be that child rape nets just a five years prison sentence.
