I've seen too many truck drivers small and big watching tv on their phones because the standard trucks don't have them. Not sure if that was the cause of this accident, but I see it all the time, especially the commercial trucks.

No wonder sons and daughters of politicians also want to get into politics. Obviously they know something we don't.

I think they should start showing the molesters face and provide their background on TV. Too many times it seems as if they try to take the side of the criminal when it comes to the right for privacy.

Sounds like the guy lost it. I would think a farmer would be on cloud 9 with the produce prices right now.

I would assume charges are pending. Does the bank have to reimburse the loss and isn't it a secret what people actually put in the boxes? Never used so just asking.

I think they should clarify, unemployed to lazy. Just like you said grc, there are plenty of jobs. Also those boxes at the shrines and temples, i stopped putting money in long time ago. I heard many of the owners are addicted to gambling.

I was always a bit confused the biological father after a divorce cuts all ties with their kids here in Japan. No guarantee the biological father was any better. I'm sure the kid is already tramautized, he should get some psychological help so he doesn't become like them as an adult. Just a sad situation all away around.

It's strange how family members of the deceased aren't seen on T.V. here in Japan. In the U.S. family members would be pressuring the rescue team to try to do more and would be on every media outlet as possible. I wonder if kids were involved the rescue team would have taken more risks to save lives. Just a thought. Regardless, RIP.

what I can't understand is why in Japan there are 4 officers in one patrol car. I would think there are more productive ways of using manpower?

I'm a bit confused, so this is a place for disabled people and the public can also stay there like a hotel? Never heard of this. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
