Either we get destroyed by the virus or get destroyed by being too poor to eat or worse a war. Countries should just let the virus happen, it can not be stopped or prevented anymore. Let evolution just happen and wipe out the weak (to include myself if my body cant get over the virus) humanity will continue on, it did after the black plague it will do so again. These ridiculous prevention measures will just push desperate economies to war.

I'm a minority and I don't need guilty (insert race here) people to right perceived wrongs for me. Personally, if race is your go to answer for a problem then that tells me that person is the racist because they need race as a crutch to feel morally superior. The only way to turn the narrative on them is with facts and not emotions.

I don't trust Zoom at all, if Microsoft spies on you is so they can figure out what ads to cater your way, Zoom sends all your data to the chinese communist regime. I will take my chances with microsoft.

I voted for Johnson in 2016, President Trump may be rough around the edges but he has proven himself and earned my 2020 vote. I doubt dimwitted folks are the voters of President Trump, the dimwitted are the rioters who burnt down their own neighborhoods.

Man, Japan Today has a lot of funny posters, I can't stop laughing. My favorite one is that the military must never be used against the American people. Correct but the military defends the constitution and protect it and American citizens from ALL enemies foreign and DOMESTIC. Homegrown terrorists are free targets in my book.

I have my own mind and I make my own choices and I accept my own consequences. I do not need social media to give me their BS truth. I did not vote for President Trump in 2016 but I have seen through all the liberal "truths" and I have seen all the good he has done. I have completely lost trust and faith in all the large media outlets and whatever social media pushes. I want facts, not their opinions, they can shove those up their beehives. President Trump has my vote locked in.

Sounds like the Japanese and the Aussies are making a SOFA agreement since its about their military personnel not tourists. I see nothing wrong with the death penalty clause. As far as i know, the US/Jpn SOFA allows for it but we also have the death penalty so business as usuall.

Euro Dude, I disagree. If a restaurant keeps getting screwed mainly by Chinese (or any other particular nationality) odds are the restaurant will return the favor by screwing them out of reservations since they are likely to flake again compared to a known client. Don't get butt hurt, its Japan. People have the option to take their business somewhere else and everyone is happy.

Never surprises me the number of foreigners that always attack Japan for being Japan and not in line with their views. I for one say Japan should keep the one nationality policy in place, I wish the US would do the same. My son has both J and US nationalities/passports but I already know he has decided to keep his US side.

Damn, too many foreign posters who think they know better than the Japanese. Obviously you don't understand the Japanese culture and why he is not getting a hero's welcome. I like Japan and the way its culture is and if you don't like how it conducts its business why are you here? You are a problem, stop trying to make Japan into a western country.

Posted in: Mother, 3 children found dead in Tokyo apartment in apparent murder-suicide See in context
I think the majority of posters here see this Japanese event through Western eyes. In western culture especially Christian ones, suicide is considered an evil but in Japan as was explained to me by my Japanese friends suicide is not viewed as a bad way to go. IMO if people want to do this that is their business but I do disagree with taking the kids with them, they should get a sporting chance to succeed or fail in the world. I believe life is meant to be hard and not everyone can hack it, if life was easy what is the point of living.
