The cult has turned a lot of conservatives away from him, but surprisingly there are a lot of mourners.

The BOJ intervened by buying dollars at the 80 yen level (around 2011) and now selling dollars at the 140 yen level. They made quite a bit of money. Japan's foreign exchange reserves are currently $1.0458 trillion. They spent just a little bit of it today, maybe.

The South Korean president has long been eager to meet with the Japanese prime minister and has been far behind in cashing in the assets of Japanese companies. What are they afraid of?　Are they threatened by the US?

Japan and the U.S. provided enormous financial and technical assistances to China and South Korea, which they have already forgotten. They were a waste of money. Japan should cut back on foreign aid and spend more on anti-poverty, birthrate up, and R&D in Japan.

Judge is preferred for the MVP. If Ohtani wins the MVP, there will be more anti-Otani, which is not good.

I think that many Japanese are opposed to the national funeral because of his association with a cult. If there was no connection, this level of expense might not be a big deal. More importantly, aid to India and Africa is really a waste of money.

Many people misunderstand, but plastic waste in Japan is not so bad. Garbage separation and recycling are effective in Japan. Plastic packaging of fruits and vegetables is partly unavoidable in humid Japan. And without packaging, on the contrary, there would be a lot of food loss. Anyway, reduction in plastic waste is a good thing.

Plastic waste generated per capita (kg/year)

U.S.A.: 130, United Kingdom: 98, Germany: 81, Japan: 38, China: 15

This survey was probably done before the cult issue arose.

Everyone is happy to gather here.

If Japan cancels the contract, China will take over the interests of this project. Japan's huge investment will be wasted, and China will reap huge profits. This must be avoided.

95% of Japanese would not oppose a ban on pachinko. It should be abolished.

According to the attached report, the appropriate dollar-yen rate is 90.74 yen. Perhaps we should prepare for a policy shift by the BOJ in the near future. I have already converted two-thirds of my dollar deposits into yen.

This indicator may be a little bit arbitrary. The fact is that in some countries, women work because they have no choice, because men don't work so much. I think we should include the difference in life expectancy in the index. In Japan, women live considerably longer than men because of less stress. Countries where women do not live that long as men are countries where women are not so respected.

Why was Mr. Abe killed by such a trivial person for such a trivial reason?　The killer's mother became addicted to religion because of her. Her bankruptcy caused trouble for her creditors. No one has any sympathy for his family situation. He is a fool, easily fooled by conspiracy theories. Even if he hadn't been fooled by conspiracy theories, he would have been scammed.

He is probably an idiot who has no particular deep thoughts and is prone to believe in conspiracy theories. Just a chu-2-byo who wants to show off.

These kinds of culprits believe that it is the fault of politics and others that they are poor and unsuccessful. The level of thinking is below that of a elementary school student.

Incorrect. Of the 22, 15 were committed in the 20th century and the rest during the Meiji and 2 in Edo

Thanks for the information. The exact dates are

AD645 - 1, Edo - 3, Meiji - 8, Taisho - 1, Showa - 7, Heisei - 2 (3 after WWII)

I was thinking more narrowly of the "modern" category.

I thought it was after World War II. Very sorry.　Anyway, this is an unrelated topic, so I'll stop now.

Meiji - 1868 - 1912

Taisho - 1912 - 1926

Showa - 1926 - 1988

You do have access to Google, don't you?

Try Wikipedia for starters:

Thank you. Most of them are from the Meiji era. I see that the Edo period is also included.　hahaha

You may be surprised to know that there have been 22 political assassinations in modern Japanese history.

I heard about it for the first time. Can you please tell me the source?

People usually comment on human life rather than building investment concerns.

Fighting a weak opponent ranked 60th in FIFA does not not strengthen the team. It was too overwhelming and boring.

With the handicap of Nagatomo, Japan fought well. It was like Japan was playing with 10 men against Brazil.　The coach is Japan's biggest obstacle.

There is plenty of injustice in the world, unfortunately.

A 2014 AP investigation found that at U.S. military bases in Japan, most service members judged culpable in sex crimes in recent years did not go to prison, with offenders instead routinely punished by demotions, fines or removal from the military.

I think the sentences should be stricter to reduce crimes and accidents.

Traffic fatalities: 

Japan: 2,636

U.S : 38,680

Even this terrible Japanese fertility rate is better than that of China, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Italy, Hong Kong, Ukraine and Spain. Unbelievable.

I think that Japan is still better than other countries because there is no violence in hate activities.

Unfortunately, the way of thinking about masks is different between foreigners and Japanese. Foreigners use masks to protect themselves, while Japanese use them to protect others. This can result in friction.

The world is full of violence, murder, hatred and filth. It is human nature to want to travel to a safe and clean country.

I really wish the rest of the world would learn from Japan.
