Posted in: Foreign business chambers urge Japan to speed up vaccine rollout See in context
Some JT posters like to slag off "the West" at every opportunity but, mark my words, the West is going to emerge from this pandemic long before Japan does. Western countries have been much more effective at getting their people vaccinated - my friend in California got his injections at his local supermarket. That's a far cry from Japan which has a vaccination program moving forward at the speed of a tectonic plate.
The West is the Best! LOL. Back to you.

Posted in: Man gets suspended sentence for killing deer with hatchet in Nara See in context
It sounds like he needs help with both his drinking and controlling his anger. Maybe the court should have ordered him to seek treatment in addition to the suspended sentence.

Just don't breathe the air or drink the water and you'll be fine.

The store manager needs to get involved and ban the troublemakers. You can't reward bad behaviour and then expect it to change.

Posted in: OPEC+ meeting to decide production levels See in context
They should cut production. Hopefully the resulting price increase will encourage people to be less wasteful and more energy-efficient. That would be better for the environment and the climate.

Why don’t family or friends spot the signs of depression earlier and offer help?
I agree with you but that's easier said than done because some people hide their depression very well.

Posted in: U.S. cuts troops in Iraq on Trump pledge to stop 'endless wars' See in context
Regardless of how you feel about President Trump, he deserves serious consideration for a Nobel Peace Prize. The only wars he has started have been trade wars and not the shooting variety. That's a good thing because when the United States gets involved militarily overseas (especially in the Middle East), it invariably becomes a never-ending quagmire (giggity) and a huge waste of resources.
