It's either "yes I molested her" or "no, I didn't." An "I don't recall, don't remember" is a confession to the crime.

Posted in: Smoking: a costly habit in search of a home See in context

Rules against smoking are an affront to personal freedom, what a person does is no ones business but their own, government regulations dictating what a person can or cannot do is totalitarianism

Following that logic, people should not be told that can't litter and it shouldn't be punishable by law. People should be allowed to throw garbage everywhere and do absolutely anything they want, including walking around naked, vandalizing, etc. Because what people do is their own business. In other words, you want anarchy.

So can we please ban smoking indoors already? We're in 2024.

Nothing wrong about the photo, Chico3. As to where those will end up during and after the Olympics, my guess is on some wieners.

Posted in: Over 50% of car drivers in Japan do not stop for pedestrians at crosswalks, according to a survey by the Japan Automobile Federation (JAF). Why do you think that is? See in context

I don't think that's true, at all. Some probably don't. But when I'm about out walking or riding my bike, drivers always stop. Gunma, Tochigi, Tokyo, Kanagawa and Hokkaido.

The widespread use of smartphones has led to greater exposure to incorrect information

Yes, because you should only listen to what those old dinosaurs say and should not, must NOT research any info yourself.

As current population of 8 billion, a declining birth rate seems logical.

I for one will not have any kids and I'm happy with my decision.

Posted in: Many women quit their jobs when they get married or have a baby. Once out of the workforce, their careers are disrupted and from there they can only find non-regular employment and other unstable jobs. See in context

They have the option to either raise kids so population doesn't disappear. But waist all the time and money they spent for their career, just so they could work at a supermarket later.

Or they could enjoy the career they worked so hard and not have kids.

I'm sure many can do both, ut nowadays only with both partners generating an income. Works great in other countries, why not Japan? Why is Japan still such a backwards place with so much misogyny?

It was good to read about her granddaughter. I didn't know about her.

I know she won't give up after these many years, even if they were to show her Megumi's grave, DNA match of her remains or anything that proved that Megumi's no longer alive. She wouldn't accept the truth after hoping for so long. Must be so hard.

The Japan hate is nothing but a trump card used by politicians when they need to distract the people from problems at home. That's the way China and Korea have done it.

Posted in: 2 dead in Hokkaido avalanche identified as New Zealanders See in context

Japanese people as the norm do not like back country skiing - it is more of a tourist activity

You're so wrong about that. The are lots of Japanese companies offering backcountry asking across Hokkaido, Tohoku and Nagano, geared towards Japanese people and they do enjoy it quite much. So no, it's not a tourists activity at all. Last week a 26 Japanese male snowmobiler also sadly lost his life in another avalanche close to Yotei.

It's not time to stop backcountry skiing. It's time to level up the game and improve the avalanche network and snow science. In north America alongside the report of an avalanche incident, an avalanche report is released with the right information like type of snow, layers, aspect, conditions, cornice break or not, etc.

Yes, it's a dangerous sport. That is why we study snow science and train hard so situations like this happen less often. And when they did happen, we could react and decide on an action plan. You don't stop driving just because and stay home just because car crashes could happen.

Is this really a movie that people in Hiroshima can bear to watch?"

Why not? Non of them were alive back then. And go they not study history at school, or do they just skip the entire part where Japan raped other countries without mercy?

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Sounds like his parents and other relatives just throw money at him but never thought about teaching him how to properly spend any of it. Hopefully he's still has s chance to learn before he commit similar mistakes when he grows older.

Posted in: Gov't OKs bill to introduce joint custody after divorce See in context

Watch the bill fall apart in a week because some politicians will come and say this will destroy the foundations of Japanese families and culture, or that is not proven that joined custody is a good thing, or some other nonsense. Just like keeping your surname after marriage, indoor smoking and other issues keeping Japan in the samurai times.

Oh right. They flip flopped coz the whole purpose was to have women on leading roles but they forgot to include good writers.

Posted in: Tourists banned from private alleys in Kyoto's geisha district See in context

Just close Japan to tourism. No more tourists staying in hotels, buying at shops and restaurants, no money coming in.

Or they can ask tourists to just drop all their money at customs and go back to their country. Tell them how much Japan hates tourists.

@Sammit

Kim Jong Un drops dead

It's not as simple as that. There are way more parties involved and Fat but doesn't look like he's gonna die of hunger anytime soon.

That would imply an ROK invasion and take over of Japan

You're mistaken again. If what I said above would ever happen (I didn't imply it as a possible scenario), it would be without any one invading the other. And since Korea and Japan are in such good terms, all thanks to your persistent, Yoon, your fantasy would never come true.

Yeah but in what language would these doctors communicate with the rest of their Japanese staff and patients?

A unified Korean peninsula is not possible. North and South are two entirely different countries now. A unified Japan/South Korea would happen before North and South become one. Meaning, it won't happen.

So according to your statement, Putin never invaded Ukraine and never started a war. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense... Not!
