Not surprised when you have such a lying corrupt administration like Bidens.

Oh so another far-left progressive non-profit that wants to silence the opinions of those they disagree with, there is no such thing as hate speech it’s only speech the left hates that counters their propaganda narratives

Elon will win like he always does

Musk will be just fine, he should focus on other countries. No one should be doing business with the Chinese Communist government

The story doesn’t mention it, but I do wonder if there was an exchange of money? Isn’t that kinda of a common thing here in Japan, old guys giving young girls expensive things for their sexual encounters?

It seems that the culture here allows pre-teen Idols. I’ve been walking through Shibuya’s live music area and was completely shocked at seeing all the young girls dressed pretty scantily and definitely not age appropriate.

The creepy part was seeing all the middle aged men lined up to watch these girls perform live. So maybe just maybe until the culture changes, these types of events will continue

The unvaccinated are definitely the ones to be dating

This guy knew her age but she also knew exactly what she was doing. Give him 5-10 years and have the girls family go through therapy and training on the dangers of social media.

I blame society as a whole especially social media and the effects it has had on children. Tictok is the worse

Why is this even news? Wow another person coming out of the closet. No one cares. Congratulations happy for ya!

2023 isn’t the hottest year ever but good try though

Best thing to happen to Hollywood. They haven’t made a decent movies in years. To much far-left propaganda.

Gosh I sure do love those far-left progressive laws they have in place there in Oregon. Just unbelievable!

The progressives living here in Japan live the safety of this country. Such hypocrisy.

The mayor money sent to Ukraine must be well over a trillion dollars by now, my question is do these governments really know where the money is going to? I think the U.S government recently admitted to making mistakes worth billions.

My Japanese students don’t even know that much about the situation in Ukraine.

I wonder how long will the J-Gov continue sending money before the Japanese start questioning these politicians.

The UN has major issues with their own troops involved in human trafficking so don’t think they should be investigating anything, who investigates the investigators?

The head of Johnny’s had a history of abuse, but the j-government chose to look the other way. The English government did the same with Jimmy Savile. If you don’t think powerful people don’t get away with serious crimes your very foolish. Heck we still don’t know who was on Epsteins list.

Crazy world we live in for sure.

“I am more than happy that a transgender person (male by birth) goes to the same public toilet as my daughter.”

You have the right to allow this for your own children but you don’t have a right to push this onto others children. Period!

I’m curious does this include if they haven’t fully transitioned and still have a penis?

First off a phobia is fear, No one is afraid of a trans person their are upset that these individuals who claim to be trans are abusing this as a means of harming biological woman’s rights and in many cases just trying to be perverted in front of woman and children

I do find it rather interesting that it seems the progressive commentators on here are a tad bit hypocritical, they think Biological men who dress as women should be able to invade biological women’s spaces, but they get so upset when biological men take up skirt photos.

The Trans movement is so disrespectful to woman. It’s sad to see this happening to biological woman!

I seriously doubt some of these same progressive commentators would allow a trans woman who hasn’t fully transitioned to be in the same toilet or locker room as their own children especially their daughters.

Anyone who is paying attention to what this movement has done in the states knows it doesn’t end well for biological woman and girls.

It seems they are trampling on the rights of biological woman who want to feel safe in their environment.

“funny thing is that Japan used to have all gender bathrooms in train stations”

Yes they still have these but they are separate from the men’s and women’s toilets. These rooms have a door with a button you push to open it and close it? it’s also used by the handicapped. Again these toilets are not apart of the regular men’s and women’s.

Makes you wonder how many innocent people have been executed here in Japan. This man is 87 years old, leave him alone.

The sad reality is that none of the police are ever held accountable for their actions when it’s found out they abused these individuals into forced confessions

death penalty is just wrong especially in a country that has a supposed 99% convictions rate

“China is leading the way in green energy in many respects. It accounted for over 50% of the world's combined new wind and solar installation last year and are expected to be responsible for increasing the world's global capacity by 85% by 2025.”

Just like clockwork! Now Virusrex you know why climate change can’t be taken seriously. China has more coal plants running than any country in the world. The fact you actually believe China is doing this, that’s the funny part.

VirusRex I completely agree with your statement that China is one of the worst offenders, however and unfortunately the climate activists don’t agree with you or I.

Just saw one of the main leaders of Stop The Oil activists group on Pierce Morgan’s show telling Pierce that he was wrong about China and that China wasn’t the problem, but that they where leading the way in green energy.

I hope you and others can understand why so many people are skeptical of the climate change/global warming agenda.

The push to green energy is dangerous especially considering that we simply are not ready to have our entire energy infrastructure built around this. There is a great deal of hypocrisy when it come to this issue.

I went to a concert a year ago in Singapore that claimed it was being ran on 100% green energy, come to find out that it wasn’t. They literally had generators in the back and they also used the local power grid which isn’t renewable in Singapore, well at least not 100% renewable energy.

Until the technology is right for us to store this type of energy longer term then we still need fossil fuel or we need Nuclear power. I still don’t get how anyone claiming to be about green energy could be against the cleanest form of energy.

“If you truly believe that climate activists would deliberately start such fires, there's really not much hope for you. You really are ....”

Then sadly your blind! You and some of other commentators here have proved how right I am when it comes to facts being presented that you disagree with. Yes I do believe that some of the arsonists have been climate activists because it’s been reported in the news. But unfortunately since it’s not news you seem worthy to read or listen to then of course you think it’s a conspiracy.

Like the old saying goes “let’s agree to disagree”

Dr. maybe

“And we also have that crucial extra skill of being able to distinguish between websites that present facts, and those that are run by vested interests, lunatics, and so on.”

You’ve made my point about disbelieving anything written that you disagree with. It seems both sides of this issue have vest interest in causing as much fear as possible.

“We’ve actually had links to Louder with Crowder, Fox News and even Alex Berenson. 

Real nonsense with no place in serious conversation.”

This is your opinion has no bearing on reality. Your simply proving my point even further. It’s your way or the highway and nothing else can be truth unless it comes from the sources you approve of. That’s called cognitive dissidents.

So like I said not all fires are climate change related. The fact that I have so many downvotes just proves that you folks refuse to accept reality and understand that climate change isn’t even close to having the effect on our planet than you

think. Honestly your probably a part of the climate cult. One thing is for sure unlike yourselves I believe we should always question science and especially question the narratives behind climate change.

I think anyone who claims we are doomed and will die in the next 10 to 20, like what’s been said so many times in the past 50 years, those individuals should be jailed for 25 years to life.

Everyone one of us in this comment section will live our lives out with no problems associated with the climate.

Nothing has changed, summer it’s hot, winter it’s cold. The earth rotates around the sun and life simply moves on.

“Multiple arsonists have been arrested in connection with the wildfires in Canada which have enveloped U.S. states from New York to Minnesota in thick smoke and haze.”

Like I mentioned some of the fires are intentional

You folks can read graphs right?

Actually the graph does show intentional fires as one of the biggest reasons.

“They don't seem to care, though.”

Care about what? If Humans are to blame for the majority of forest fires then maybe your right the perpetrators don’t care. The best thing any government can do is proper Forrest and management.

The only people I know who constantly want sources are the very ones who will denounce any source that goes against their narrative. I didn’t say there isn’t climate issues I said some of these fires are caused by humans.

The Science isn’t relatively simple. Forrest management play a large part in controlling such fires.

I have no doubt your adults who have the capability to read the news yourselves. I can tell just by reading the statements that none of you would accept anything other than it’s only climate change and nothing else.

Here is a good article with a graph showing that the majority of wildfires are starred by humans.

Either way seems there’s more stabbings than I ever knew going on here in Japan. Like I said a little spooky

Just moved here to Aomori, but I never thought I would have to consider watching my back in Japan. I realize it’s still safer than most countries, but it is kinda scary seeing so many of these random stabbings.
