If you are in a restaurant thats a different story but just buying something at a convenience store you don't consume the product until you pay for it.

Use a disposal in your sink. Have been using it for years and it grinds fish and chicken bones fine but don't use it it for pork or beef bones. Get the 3/4 hp or larger version.

The Japanese entertainment and bar scene is the most creative that I've seen anywhere in the world. Lucrative too. However in these difficult times stay home and invite a few friends over and provide fresh masks and hand sanitizer.

Posted in: Hiroshima marks 75th anniversary of A-bombing See in context
The two atomic bombs were unnecessary as Japan was already defeated. Any person with military background would know that an invasion was unnecessary. Who would kill innocent people. Even numerous US top brass stated the bombs were unnecessary and cruel. In the last 75 years since the bombings, the USA has been all over the world and killed a lot of people like Iraq and the wmd debacle. Read your history books written by legitimate sources and stop watching fake news media. RIP to the Japanese dead and my sincere apology to those that survived.

Posted in: Hiroshima survivor recalls working on tram after A-bomb See in context
Interesting and sad story. For many, many years I have believed that the use of atomic weapons on Japan was completely unnecessary and inhumane. A blockade of Tokyo harbor, Shimizu harbor, and the eastern and western entry access points to Japanese ports in the inland sea of Japan would have stopped the war and stopped tens of thousand of deaths on both sides. I think that the US wanted to show Russia the power it had at the expense of war victims.

I applaud this woman for her courage. Assisted death should be a way out of life if you are faced with dying and not suffering. The government has no right to make people suffer and keep them artificially alive.

We need to have an "let's say it" expatriate group to help this country that we moved to and adopted as I did in 1981. Lived here on an off for almost 40 years and we need to give something back to this great country.

Godspeed to you and your family and friends as well as neighbors. I'm an old guy now but still have a lot of muscle and motivation and when the poop hits the fan I would like to get back to Japan where I can be if assistance. Speak Japanese sufficiently to assist and can live with my late wife's parents. How can I help?
