Chris was doing his job (well) and Will acted like a typical entitled A list celebrity so embarrassing. Oh yeah why wasn't he arrested on assault charges??? The hypocrisy in his 'love not violence' apology.

Workaholic Japan.... No

The real problem, which begins at school and continues in the workplace is: Institutionalized bullying, passive-aggressive behavior and hammering hard anyone that dares to mention it.

Posted in: Sugar detox? Cutting carbs? Why you should keep fruit on the menu See in context

@ tjguy No, humans did not evolve TO DO ANYTHING. I do not believe in evolution, but if you understand it properly, nothing evolves "to do" anything - even though this phrasing is often used.

Evolution of the human primate along with all other species is a FACT, not a theory or speculation. Wether you choose to believe in or not is irrelevant. Evolution facts are facts (backed with years of research, evidence and applying the scientific method to continually amend and update our knowledge and awareness) and personal beliefs are simply just beliefs.

Posted in: Sugar detox? Cutting carbs? Why you should keep fruit on the menu See in context

Millions of people (myself included) follow a zero sugar / very low carb keto lifestyle. Occasionally I might have a few blueberries or raspberry's but that's it. No other fruit is necessary, especially modern GMO Frankenstain fruit.

Our bodies have become fat adapted (converting fat into energy). Our diet consists of: Healthy Fat, vegetables and protein. No carbs, no sugar and no toxic seed oils (aka vegetable oils).

But the burger and onions are probably still fried using toxic, cancer causing and possibly even worse 'reheated' toxic seed oil (aka vegetable oils) :(

We need to outlaw seed oils in the food industry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQmqVVmMB3k

Posted in: Tokyo lawyers to collect info on police stopping foreigners for questioning See in context

Police cannot search your person, property or possessions without a warrant. Ask for one: “Reijou ga arimasu ka?”

If they threaten to take you to a Koban or police station for questioning, refuse and don’t move. Police cannot force you to go anywhere without a formal arrest (taiho). Once you're inside the Koban or station your rights pretty much vanish.

But be careful. Do not raise your voice. And never ever touch the cop, or they could arrest you for “obstruction of duty.” This is why sometimes you see street standoffs between cops and questionees during which nobody moves or talks until somebody gets tired and goes home.

Goats are very good for cleaning the land of weeds and adding to the soils.

I agree goats are good taking care of weeds and soil.

People are complaining about the name World Series? Well, they don't know the history of the name.

And there are players from Australia, Europe, Brazil. And more than 20 other players from different countries.

But it's a domestic competition. So how about calling it: US Series

Posted in: 2 arrested for suspected abuse of 450 dogs in Nagano Pref See in context

Whining as if only Japan existed animal abuse, dog farms and zoos..

What a pathetic excuse. What happens elsewhere is irrelevant.

The true heart of any nation can be seen by the way it treats animals.

Let's review what openly Japan accepts:

Private dog and cat breeders (for profit)

Chaining dogs outside all day on very short leashes.

Treat pets as disposable toys

Monkeys and other animals as attractions in shopping malls :(

Concrete prisons (Zoos)

Aquariums with live shows using dolphins, whales and sea lions :(

Cutting up fish, octopus, crabs and eating them while still alive

The Japanese public at large are to blame. We've all heard the utter selfish and heartless 'kawaii' whenever an animal is being forced to breed or entertain. This is the problem.

Cure is to show love and respect for all livings creatures (except for mosquitos and cockroaches)...

Strangerland:

Not to you, and not to me either. But that doesn't mean that some of the things he said weren't offensive to some people. 

If all content was created in order not to offend absolutely everyone, we would live in a society with no books, art, music, TV, Media or history. What a dull existence that would be.

I'm highly offended by religion, but I choose not to follow, listen or watch any of it. Problem solved. I would not try to cancel it for others (who obviously enjoy it) just because I don't like it. That is a rational way to behave.

The irrational, easily offended and attention seekers unfortunately have too much voice, media coverage and airtime at present, and that is the problem. The main stream media are the problem. They piggy back on famous people and use their fame to 'inflate otherwise insignificant information' to circulate their articles and videos to a much wider audience. FACT

Eat way less carbs and sugar. Become more active and do a little exercise and 99.9% of weight / obesity issues will simply melt away. FACT.

An inactive lifestyle, consuming way too much sugar and carbs is the cause in 99.9% of overweight or obesity cases. FACT.

There is no special or secret formula. What I wrote above is all you need to understand to cure 99.9% of weight related health issues. FACT

Good luck...

Yes we can say fat. Yes we can say obese. Who said we couldn't? Exactly...

Stop listening to overly sensitive people.

Being fat is real and everybody knows it.

Being obese is real and everybody knows it.

Using fat and obese is perfectly acceptable when used within a civilized conversation / tone. Can't say fat or obese. Who comes up with these ridiculous claims?

Posted in: Free speech or hate speech? Netflix at eye of LGBTQ storm See in context

Dave said NOTHING offensive at all. Those who think he did hasn't watched all of his recent specials.

Dave loved by 100's millions of fans from all over the world.

A very few people (probably around 6 or 7) choose to be offended (typically because they watched 'out of context' cut and edited snippets and not the whole routine).

The PROBLEM...

"Main stream media" in the US for some bizarre reason listens to the minuscule amount of people who choose to be offend. Then they publish stories as if the whole world is up in arms and offended by Dave's comedy specials. Which of course they are not.

From the LGBTQ+ community (the alphabet squad) it is only a very small minority of the T's and Q's who are complaining and pretending to be offended in order to seek attention.

The whole cancel culture is being driven by just a handful of uber-delicate snowflakes (fact not an insult). This will not end until the media accepts it for what it is and stops exaggerating the otherwise inaudible protests.

Posted in: U.S. sets new lower salt target for food industry See in context

Most hypertension is caused by excessive sugar and carb consumption, not salt. Salt is blamed because no one goes after the massive sugar and carbs (natural or processed) food industry. FACT. Our body is perfectly suited to regulate the amount of salt in our system... Sugar and carbs on the other hand... Look it up.

Here is an insight if you're skeptical:

In my experience Rakuten is the easiest credit card to apply for as a foreigner. I have SMBC Visa, D-Card (Docomo) Mastercard and Rakuten Mastercard.

I know of many other foreigners who got rejected from the major Japanese banks, but ended up getting a credit card from Rakuten.

Posted in: Kishida instructs cabinet to come up with economic package specifics See in context

Here's novel idea. Focus on a 'trickle up' policy instead of the usual (proven not to work) 'trickle down' policy which only provides hoards of public cash to mega corporations and construction yakusa groups. Only for those mega corporations to keep hold of it, or trickle down just a fraction to other 'buddy buddy' corporations.

Support the people of Japan, give them the money (with a rule of not being able to hoard it) who will then consume, which in turn will create momentum in the economy.

If the government fails again by just giving billions of Yen to big business, nothing will change and the amakudari gravy train will continue.

Dan, fortunately not everyone behaves like an American.

Refunding her money and the possibility of paying her hospital visit fee should be more than enough. I'm sure it was an accident and not intentional.
