It is absolutely none of y’alls business

This is how elected officials speak in America?

Less guns in schools, more books please.

@sakurasaki

they also faced discrimination from Japanese people, because those victims were considered radiated or infectious by Japanese people

Cant go blaming the horrors of war for that one.

Just add it to the long list of things the Japanese choose to persecute each other over.

Excluding those unlucky few who have medical issues affecting their weight... Parent allowing/facilitating their kids to become that fat in the first place need to be prosecuted for abuse

The main problem is that this very strange Swords and Firearms Control Law gives an additional big advantage to those criminals who are then the only ones using swords (nowadays knives) and firearms. A possible defense by the victims is fully excluded by law

What are suggesting? Everyone carries swords amd knives around with them?

At the station once a kid was dragging her school bag a bit carelessly and it got wedged in that little area under the base of the handrail. She didn't have the strength to pull it free so the man in front of me, behind her, yanked it out for her.

Can easily see an elderly person getting wedged there without the strength or agility to wriggle free

From the main article...

The average annual salary for English conversation teachers is ¥3.39 million.

No wonder you all complain so much about "the rich" and take every opportunity to insist everyone else should pay more taxes to subsidise you.

But before people start complaining too much, it's a simple matter of market forces. If there are lots of people that can do something with little to no education or training... They are not worth much.

If there are few people that generate the business and profit that you can, then you are worth a lot.

Some people worked hard when young to better themselves and some didn't. You reap what you sow.

I agree with the Malaysian official.

No you don't. The Malaysian Officials are all for the plan due to the income.

Friends Of The Earth is a non official, non governmental, environmental group.

If the Malaysian business and government groups are offering a paid service to store the CO2, that's on them, not Japan. No one is forcing Malaysia to take and store it.

What happens to these poor women who are so desperate and unsure what to do?

Absolutely ridiculous thing to say.

She is in her 30s. Not some teenager.

However, harassing US servicemen because you hope they had a beer so you can arrest them is not a good use of taxpayer yen.

No, but stopping and arresting drivers over twice the legal limit is.

I wonder what demonic forces had entered into him to do such horrendous life threatening crimes

Help and understanding on mental illness is nit great

Clearly belief in demonic forces being one of them.

So she's blameless is all this is she?

Friggin' please! I loved my dog almost as much as my children, but I would never have jailed such an elderly man for it's death. As much as I love dogs, elevating the value on the former before the latter is nonsensica

Maybe if you read the article rather than just the headline it would make mroe sense.

Money over health... shame shame shame!

Hysterics, propaganda and witchcraft over science... shame shame shame!

Not a scientist so I have zero idea of how this works, but how in the world do they dilute it?

The same way you dilute mud to wash it off football boots, or dilute soft drink concentrates in any family restaurant drink bar machine.

This doesn't seem like a well thought out plan at all. Super risky, and doesn't seem to consider several basic things - the amount of breathable air in a small sealed box isn't much (since humans need approximately 250 mls. of oxygen each minute and 21% of air is oxygen), it's VERY cold at those altitudes, real risk of CO2 poisoning, cabin pressure, and the survivability of the pod in the event that an emergency parachute is needed to control descen

Ah, what a shame you're not on the team! If only they had posted job openings on tabloid news sites you could have told them all this. I bet none of their aeronautical engineers thought of this stuff.

How often they do that? Everyday? Breakfast, lunch and dinner?

So despite all the scoffing over the last year demanding exactly this, you're still not satisfied?

I don't think anything will get the Japanese out on large numbers against the state.

Trying to imply Japanese are scared of the state? Hardly. It's because most, like me, don't care.

Indeed. Not about the trees at all. Any excuse for a "look at me!".

Social Media. Curse of the modern world.

Unlike the Housewives of the Internet, democratic governments can't dismiss the opinions of those educated in the matter.

It's not confusing. The company rents it. Just like my company rents my house and leases my car and pays my driver.

You can't afford a shinkansen???

Tokyo to Osaka ia only around 15,000~20,000.

You must be confusing exchange rates. I spend more than that on lunch, booze and snacks while waiting for it.

I want to know how relatives, friends and healthcare professionals, not to mention the biological fathers, could all be oblivious to the killer's mental state and obvious need for support.

Someone willing to smash their own baby's head in will do so whether support was available or not.

JR Tokai makes loads off the Tokaido Shinkansen, and btw they're a privstised monopoly, so have an obligation to provide a public service. They've forgotten about the people who use the train.

Hahaha... While there may very well be an obligation to provide transportation I doubt there is any commitment to serving ice cream.

If only it were so simple. What they make from ticket sales is irrelevant. This is a separate revenue stream in their business. It's clearly not profitable, or they would continue it.

If nobody used the green cars, they would be phased out too.

Business is business. Demand dictates what services are offered.

If those food carts were super popular and selling well, they would be increased. But they ain't.

@Antiquesaving,

Now you can down vote this fact.

The problem is these days few people are able to separate identifying a problem from condoning it.

Too busy virtue signalling to read in context.

Nostalgia doesn't pay the bills unfortunately.

At the end of the day, if it's loss-making they have to shut it down.

If it were profitable, they would continue it.

I don’t watch filth, I have high morals and a son. I’m talking about what is illegal and what is not.

What you're doing is reaching and moving the goalposts.

When you say is watching pornography a crime, yes it is if it involves minors or beastial acts and so should it be if it portrays rape and abuse like scenarios.

My god... What stuff are you watching?

[porn] should be banned to prevent people from getting sick ideas in their head like the pervert who committed this heinous crime.

Oh, if only we could go back 50 years or so before everyone had the Internet or VHS players. It must have been great to live in a sex-crime free society!

(except all those rapists who looked at naughty magazines and pictures of course)

Of course it’s immoral, [porn] leads to immoral and deviant behaviour

Don't forget Rock & Roll and wearing jeans!

Foul stuff.

You are. While you are correct about cyclists riding on the right side of the road, there are many times when cyclists are riding on sidewalks which doesn't have a wrong or right side. If you are only looking right when pulling out and not looking left as well, then you are liable to hit not only cyclists, but pedestrians as well. I cannot count the many times drivers are only focused on looking to the right while ignoring everything to their left. Be more careful, please.

Sigh. I said roads. Not sidewalks. Let's assume we're all intelligent enough to know the difference.
