Not knowing the extent of his father's "harsh" treatment makes it difficult to decide whether or not he was driven to murder or he was just an evil person. Either way, not the way to go. I don't understand the Japanese tradition for kids to live with the parents until they get married. I understand it for the women. It's safer for sure but for the guys? I couldn't wait to move out when I turned 18!

Where is “here”? This forum? Japan? I’ve found the exact opposite.

I meant Japan.

This is a blatant attempt to lay responsibility for the increases in cases on vaccinated people.*

Don't misconstrue what I've said please. I am not blaming vaccinated people for the spread (don't know how you could think that from what I wrote?) I am merely pointing out that if one thinks they are 100% immune from spreading/catching covid if they have these vaccines, they are wrong. I myself am pro-vaccine. From my personal experience talking to people in Japan, both foreign and Japanese, most of them think that the vaccine gives them free reign to travel and do what they did pre-covid. If you have found that to be the exact opposite case, then good! That's good to hear. I would definitely love to be wrong in this case.

I have found that most people here that have gotten vaccinated seem to think that they are immune to covid. This is not the case. The current lot of vaccines are reported to have a very high efficacy rate but they do not stop you from catching/transmitting the disease. The vaccines are a good thing but I fear that the public, once vaccinated, will act like they don't need to wear masks and just go about their daily lives pre-covid style, spreading the virus even more than before. You've got to remember the robotic sheep mentality that we deal with here on a daily basis.
