The high conviction rate isn't quite the problem in the way you may imagine. If there is any doubt of their winning the prosecutors don't go to court. For many people (victims of crime) this is the problem - the guilty who get off.

 

You're wrong.
If you don't want to work, and most women don't in Japan, it's a winning proposition. You go to the best schools to be in a position to marry this guy and then make him work for you.

lose - loose
I don't ever want to have to point this out again.

 

Depopulation is about to kick in.
Japan won't need anymore roads.

 

the scammers aren't the ones to get this money.
Already there have been stories where the people 'scammed' were in on the deal.

 

We just don't know.
There are a number of possible scenarios.
Some people apparently made money by selling JT shares on Monday.
In Japan if you don't pay off the yakuza you may be hit with a problem like this.

 

What do you mean?

>Costo is not walmart. Walmart sells >crap, walmart sells quality.

Is this what you wanted to say?

How about?
Walmart is not Costco. Costco sells crap, Costco sells quality.
Does that work too?

 

Nil all is the pits.

 

In Japan you're not allowed go to someone's door with your political message. But you do have the right to broadcast to them, within a particular decibel limit, which these chaps regularly break.
A lot of it is basically extortion - a yakuza racket. How much do we pay for you not to come around anymore?
Or again - how much do we pay for you to go around and bother this newspaper that actually said something?

 

That was in all the Japanese papers.
For example:

She has nice skin.
A nice pelt.

 

propaganda for the general-butchers?

 

is that the students don't even study anything after the Shinsengumi. Then the sh$t hits the fan.
Invade Korea. Invade China. But the students don't have enough time to get this far. And anyway it's so shallow that it's not even worth studying.

 

Historians now realize they misunderstood mikudari-han. Women were delighted to get one of these. They were basically a means of stating that the woman was free to marry again.

 

Why not a 'former gangster'?

 

We're all away on holidays.
Have a nice summer!

 

It's to do with the professor's comments on a 'human rights' center. Most of the posters on this site are going to want to imagine that such centers are a force for good.

Of course they heat the airplanes with kerosene stoves. Don't worry, in an earthquake they automatically turn themselves off.

 

is very prestigious. Lots of young women would hope to get a job there.
Shiraishi used the same technique on other women. Well-done to the lass who reported him. I hope they give her a job.

 

20% of Koreans have the name Kim.
Eric's movie title could upset a lot of people.

 

But these people need to dissolve themselves.

 

They've been robbed. This should be in the crime section.

 

Often I feel just like a fake bird inside a cage. I want to be free.
I believe I can fly!

 

Often Japan has ridiculously strict regulations which only a fool would fully go along with.
They need sensible rules that everybody has to follow.
