Now we know that this mayor is a racist individual, why go there?

Furthermore, I am boycotting any business that does this sort of action toward foreigners.

Perhaps the prosecutors should be charged with incompetence or just being stupid!

Posted in: New bill will block convicted sex offenders from jobs involving children See in context

GREAT!!! But way too late... But, we are talking about Japan here where change is slow in the coming... Still, a national registry for all sex offenders is needed!!

In the Philippines anyone even applying for a job at the mall must get a police clearance. Maybe a good idea here too, or anyplace including the USA!!

No Clearance NO JOB!!

just a thought...

Posted in: 47 trainee police officers punished for underage drinking, smoking See in context

Why are police in Japan even allowed to be police if they are underage?? They should be at least 20 before even given the responsibility to enforce the laws! They are underage so no names will be given if they screw up and break the law!!

Posted in: Tokyo reports 3,709 coronavirus cases; nationwide tally 12,014 See in context

When will people get it ( outside of this string of comments) that numbers ALWAYS drop Sunday and Monday!! Then they skyrocket on Tuesday!!

Saturday fewer places are open to test thus lower number Sunday. Has anyone tried finding a clinic open Sunday?? They are closed !! Thus the huge drop on Monday.

it always seems to me they make a big deal out of the lower numbers Sunday and Monday and I feel they think the downward trend will hold!! It never does!!

this is not a shock to me!!!

Posted in: 'Hostage justice?' Japan fights back with an internet FAQ See in context

Again a prime example of the government’s attempt at covering up a problem (a serious problem) rather than accepting responsibility and addressing the issues raised.

An entire rework of the Japanese Criminal Justice System is needed!! I cannot confirm this but I am sure in my heart that MOST confessions are coursed or forced. THIS makes this system both corrupt and broken!!

Posted in: Japan faces decision over contaminated Fukushima nuclear plant water See in context

Japanese authorities always tell others. (Be it a person or a country ) to follow the rules or admit to when they make a mistake. What I do not get is WHY cannot they (the Japanese government and the authorities) follow what they tell others to do!! Seriously people there is a serious double standard here!! I am 100% sure IF this was in South Korea and they were about to dump this kind of problem into the ocean Japan and its government would be up in arms over it!!

Is there ANYONE on here that will disagree with me??

Posted in: Abe faces host of diplomatic, economic issues after cabinet revamp See in context

One woman in the cabinet? Isn’t this the same joker that advocated to many many companies to put women in key leading positions? I think he should lead by example and put more women in key leading positions. Maybe even a lot of the old fossils in the cabinet , maybe even himself!!!

Posted in: 11 suspected cancer cases neglected; 1 dead at Yokohama hospital See in context

Almost 3 years ago I went in for my annual check up. The doctor found a polyp in my throat. His advice was to go to a larger hospital for further tests. I did and found out that it needed to be removed. The doctor said yes, but they could not do it there. I had to go to yet another hospital.

i did as told and had all the information and records with me and yes, did all the test again....

They did the surgery. Two weeks later found out it was cancer! I was referred to the nearby cancer center. Underwent radiation therapy and I’ve been cancer free since then. I go in ever 6 months for check ups. So far so good.

No, I’m not a fan of how some doctors do things, but if you take the time and find a doctor that will listen the system works great.

Posted in: Tokyo gov't passes strict anti-smoking laws See in context

It is just my feeling, but I hate to smell other people smoking when I am eating! Also, I used to be a smoker and I never smoked inside or made other have to smell it. Finally I just said I am done through them away and I feel so much better!!

Posted in: Female police officer hit, killed by minivan during traffic violation crackdown See in context

Very sad indeed.

Traffic stops are one of the most dangerous jobs of a police officer. She did not deserve this but a serious lack at experience had some to do with this too.

Some posters on here point out that a driver is automatically blamed for any kind of car and pedestrian accident. Personally, that is wrong! But we all choose to live in Japan, if you don’t like it. I say you have a few choices...

Leave

Acccept it.

3 Fight a system that does not care what you think.

4 Don’t drive.

If you choose to stay and you need a car just be as careful as you can be!

Posted in: 19-month-old boy drowns in bathtub while parents are away playing slot machines See in context

They are NOT mentally fit to be parents and admitting they have often don this is frighting. Their parental right should be revoked!! Furthermore forced sterilization is not a bad idea here. Hope the older sister can find some love and good people to look after her.

Yes, I’m harsh to those that put children in danger! We as adults are responsible for he safety of the youth!
