Wandora comments

Shouldn't have overstayed her visa. But why wasn't she deported immediately? What was the reason for keeping her detained within country?

How come when every old female American politician/lawmaker dies, she was a 'trailblazer'?

Because they were the first woman to do what was previously shut off to them due to their gender. 

Are you really so obtuse that this needs explanation or are you just being disingenuous?

I'm not obtuse enough to take liberal hyperbole at its word. She wasn't the first senator by a long shot. Any trailblazing is not described in this article. Unless being a female Democrat is 'trailblazing'.

Strange. It wasn't that big where I live...

Someone's got their knickers in a twist.

Are there Americans north of the border who don't want a wall?

Big government is the left-wing way, so enjoy Big Brother coming a step closer.

should be cleaning up the entire online sex and ejjo kosai, papakatsu industry.

Why are these familiar to you? I had to google them.

As long as it's easy to deport them for crimes, no problem. It's become almost a cliche to say look what's happened in Europe, but as long as Japan keeps looking that way the country should be safe.

What?!!

Why would refugees be more likely to commit crimes than anyone else in Japan!?

If you have no explanation, then this comment is purely racial discrimination.

Being xenophobic is kind of the opposite intention of accepting refugees.

..and Race Card played.

Who the hell mentioned race? This is about cultures and the possible negatives of mixing them.

How much is 40% of the CEO's salary, what is 40% of the the workforce salary costs, and why are they being equated?

As long as it's easy to deport them for crimes, no problem. It's become almost a cliche to say look what's happened in Europe, but as long as Japan keeps looking that way the country should be safe.

Rumble, a video site popular with some conservatives and far-right groups, has not demonetised Brand.

Dame Caroline Dinenage, chair of the House of Commons media committee, wrote to Rumble to ask if it would be stopping Brand earning advertising revenue on the platform.

In her letter to Rumble's founder and chief executive Chris Pavlovski, Dame Dinenage wrote: "We would be grateful if you could confirm whether Mr Brand is able to monetise his content, including his videos relating to the serious accusations against him.

"If so, we would like to know whether Rumble intends to join YouTube in suspending Mr Brand's ability to earn money on the platform.

Yes, the actual government itself is virtue-signalling by directly trying to destroy him.

Wandora,

opheliajadefeldt, rightfully has good reason to be suspicions/skeptical.

Just to refresh your memory, yes 

Met Police investigating 1,600 officers and staff over alleged abuse against women

opheliajadefeldt is looking for a reason to be suspicious/skeptical (of male police officers). How many of these knee-jerk cases were proven? Imagine how many brownie points the MET would get if Brand goes to jail.

I have read so many disgusting stories about too many of their officers abusing women it is almost beyond belief.

Of course you have. I guess it's just that no one else has or it would be common knowledge.

as one ingenious Japanese high school student discovered not too long ago, using anti-bacterial wipes on your feet can help to keep mosquitoes at bay. It should be noted that this doesn’t mean they like stinky feet. Mosquitoes are attracted to substances completely different from those that cause the foot odors that humans can detect.

Huh? Did AI write this?

I did the same in Switzerland. Didn't even realise it was the expressway until someone stopped and told me.

I enjoyed the first Nun.

Why always bland family films? Any R-rated action/violence/thrillers films for adults you recommend?

Hating still isn't a reason for stabbing or killing another person.

You teach us something new every day.

The decision to drop the plan comes after a slew of criticism from within the ruling Liberal Democratic Party of the bill's contents, including that more professions should be subject to the system.

Huh? How can it be only applied to certain professions? A law is a law, isn’t it?

Boise, Idaho.

My first mobile phone was a Kyocera PHS PS-501.

It's twinned with Idaho, which has a potato-digging-up ceremony the same month. Everybody goes.

Three members? Well that should override any bias.

To those that have seen it, is this something I can watch when it come to Netflix or is the big screen better?

…. conspiracy wormholes

Are you a London taxi driver? They have a monopoly on such logic singularities.

Yes, absolutely sad. Especially if they never read books or get exercise, Their choice, but it’s not such a bad opinion it warrants frenetic down voting.

Yeah, good luck to Japan, but I can't get even vaguely excited about a competition of Asian teams only.

Left-wing tweet: progressive.

Right-wing tweet (= 'far-right' tweet): conspiracy.

Who said anonymous internet validation should be free?

I'm curious to know how everyone here, on both sides, seems so sure about their opinion. No one has offered any compelling evidence. Does anyone have any? (If so, you must have connections in high places. Please tell us about them.)

There seem to be 2 opinions:

(1) The usual 'progressives' assume he's guilty (presumably they hate rich people), and

(2) The reasonable thinkers know he could never get a fair trial in Japan and acknowledge that before he escaped he was effectively tortured - and that is a greater crime than the white collar one he may or may not have committed.

There is no 'he is definitely innocent' opinion, which I think is what you believe you have seen.
