This is why the Japanese are more resilient and mentally tough because they have to.

The audacity of some. I guess when you know you can get away with it, do it? Later on down the road, if there was wrongdoing we can only hope for some payback. DHB don’t hold breath

@fighto

US isn’t a democracy. It’s a republic. Japan is run by old men that elect each other. Korea, not an authority on their politicians. Probably just as corrupt as Jp and US.

First of all, Sakurasuki was being sarcastic I think. Secondly, seems like this sort of thing happens a lot in Chiba.

Back home in the US there are some fellows called Ridge Hippies. They go to predictable avalanche areas and use minor explosives to start the avalanche before the ski areas open.

Posted in: Kishida warns Japan on brink of social dysfunction amid falling birthrate See in context

My children are 25 years old and 22.

There isn’t anyway that I could support a family at the present time like I was able to years ago. I make 60,000 yen a month less than when they were small.

Any couple that chooses to start a family in Japan now, good luck and plan on eating lots of rice balls.

Posted in: Standing 3 steps apart on escalator lowers COVID risk: research See in context

My daughter’s spouse had it and quarantined for 10 days. She couldn’t go to work and had to stay home with him. They live in a small place and didn’t isolate from each other. She was prepared and just thought, okay get it recover and be done with it.

He felt terrible for three days and recovered. She never got it.

He was boosted and she has never done vaccine.

Fingers crossed my and my family’s luck holds out.

Disillusioned, man I hear that what you said. Couldn’t agree more but still here! Can’t pull stakes and leave that easily.

Also, don’t the politicians get 1,000,000 yen per month for walking around money?

Seems like an awful lot of money to get for free when you’re already rich.

Posted in: 3 nursery school teachers arrested over abuse of children See in context

Here's my question: if the city knew about 15 cases of abuse and this is only coming to light now, why is it only teachers being arrested and not the city employees who knew about it and did nothing?

Well, maybe because it was a cover up and many people knew about it. Susono is a tiny community where everyone knows each other. Small town where lots of love affairs go on as well.
