Gambling is always bad for society, but politicians see another way to get tax revenue so sometimes they allow it. It is ALWAYS a mistake, resulting in many broken lives.

To most here DEI equals hiring a minority when it really means giving all an equal opportunity, a fair shake and hiring the best PERSON for the job, regardless of race, gender, etc.
Wow, you think DEI means giving all an equal opportunity? Really? You can't believe that. That is like saying the sun is made up of ice cubes. Better to keep quiet and have people think you are stup'd than opening your mouth and proving it.

Sounds logical. Chase the high spenders out...you know, the ones who spend the most for Japan's tax coffers, the ones who are statistically the least likely to commit crimes, do dine and dashes, spray paint on shrines and temples etc, etc. Keep the backpackers and the low-rent types and push out the ones who cause the fewest problems. This is such a bad idea, it was probably thought of by some California politician.

America is moving back to the center, but Hollywood is still cranking out over-the-top wokeness as fast as they can. Non-Hollywood movies, whether from the U.S. or other countries are more thought provoking and enjoyable for me. Just my opinion.

What does "Life in prison" mean in Japan? In America, it more or less means living in prison for a few years until your first parole hearing when you can maybe go free. I hope Japanese courts aren't as mushy-headed as American courts.

People are male or female. Period. What they think at any particular moment, or what they say they think at any particular moment, is irrelevant. This is all just mentally ill people trying to goad other people into thinking they are not mentally ill. I just laugh at the wokesters.

Anybody in the Pentagon who put their hate of Trump above the safety and defense of America should be fired the first day. Their job was not to try to persuade politics, their job was to keep America safe. That's what Departments of Defense are supposed to do. The voters, despite 24-7 pressure from the corrupt American media, sided with Trump. The Department of Defense should be for the defense of America.
