And one other guy also said “If you aint votin’ for me then you aint black”

…..

It doesnt glorify or romanticize the making and dropping of the bomb - quite the opposite.

What is there to grapple with?

Being in a new country can be stressful.

I hope that is sarcasm (sorry if it is...... these days it can be hard to tell)

This is just very very, very sad.

What purpose is served by prosecuting this doctor? No winners here, everybody loses, including society.

Its indiCAN not indiCANT....

Ill see myself out...

Lol. I never get such things. Never needed Applecare either.

Comes in rather handy if, through no fault of your own, the screen gets cracked, or completely broken. A cracked screen on a newer phone will set you back 30,000 JPY+ without applecare.

Why is glory in inverted commas ?

Can’t have been a very good Ninja if he was spotter so easily !!

who else thinks, this was not just about the box of sweets????

If they can find a reason of course it's fine. "He's a scruffy -looking foreign person, QED he could be up to something" isn't a valid reason.

lets be realistic, the police can make a reason - you can argue till you are blue in the face about the perceived validity of said reason.

Japan can do without this kind of litigious, and race baiting culture.

Japan historically has been rather homogeneous - if you look like an outsider, you are more likely to be questioned. Adachi plates on a car in a village in Okayama will more likely be stopped by police if they can find a reason. Get over it.

We don’t need police hesitant to stop people for fear of the r word.

Brexit

How do you smuggle that into this.

Truly unhinged.

Whilst I have sympathies for the young lass, the piece is self indulgent waffle.

Everyone has it hard for some reason, thats life.

It is insulting to physically unattractive people, who are playing this game on max difficulty with no equipment.

Zion. Being a black athlete is comes with conditional love, mistakes are not accepted.

being any other colour of athlete comes with no love. Noone loves a particular athlete because they are “white”.

Taiwan isnt exactly a rich country - this is a rather moving gesture of good will and support. Spreading the love.

Not even remotely related, 

It is 100% related. Its nature vs nurture. A person is like X because its in their genes. Whether traits are seen as positive/negative after that, doesnt change the basic premise.

Kinda interesting that the crowd pushing this sexuality in genetics concept…… then go wild when presented with eugenics arguements, even though they are basically based on the same concepts.

There is no society in the history of humans where sexual preferences represent a risk for the survival of that population.

did you hear about monkey pox? And that is just a recent example.

Oh no please not the carbon mumbo jumbo bandwagon. This along with SDGs is all a scam.

Cleaner, more efficient energy yes please. But we are a long long way from replacing fossil fuels.

Look at Germany, reliant on gas and needing to start up their old dirty coal plants.

Unless he plans to fire up the nuclear reactors again?

five-year statute of limitations ???

Sounds like a convenient way of brushing under the carpet.... hide it for only 5 yrs and you are grand...

Seems devoid of anything factual about the need for nature conservation and how sometimes that requires human intervention (ie to minimise harm caused by the existence of humans)

“ How a simple British dish was enriched by global trade and expansion”

Rewrote the title without the white guilt shoulder chip/cheap shot.

Why emphasise “white colonists” when talking about the British colonists, and what is unusual about ethnic/national groups desiring to “replicate” their own food culture wherever they go?

Well the basic premise, that Colonization in that time/context was necessarily a net bad thing, is flawed to begin with. Noone denies there were wrongs committed, in the past, by people long gone.

Similarly, the UK isnt asking for reparations for the Roman empire.

Or is this just a white guilt trip?

It is getting tedious.

Also “not funding” it isnt the same as “restricting other peoples ‘rights’”.

Those who feel such a right should be available are welcome to have their tax money go to it.

On the basis of public health authorities determining it so.

Why? Because they say it is.

Can we avoid circular logic here and no the WHO saying so is not a reason, its yet another “coz x says so”.

Lets say victims of sexual assault etc can have as many pills or abortions as they need. This wasnt part of the original argument anyway so its settled.

Now why should morning after pills, be a right ?

So you don’t think people should be able to opt out of their money going towards defence spending in the first place? Ie, enjoying a public good such as defence, or a public good such as a more morally cohesive society, call it what you will the details are not important, society is a collective to we all reap what is sown.

On what basis do y’all say the morning after pill should be a “right”?

It may be convenient to have, though of questionable morality being a separate issue, why a basic right?

Also if its a “right” it is tax payer funded, and if people have a moral problem with such funding would it be fair for them to withdraw it? Similar to how people can choose their money isnt spent on defense.

If only there was another way to avoid unwanted pregnancy……. But I guess noone wants to talk about that.

Cant help but feel another pill

to take away personal responsibilities isnt the answer society needs……

Boris failed to shut the border quickly enough. Without the lockdowns and vaccines, hundreds of thousands more would have died.

Highly, highly questionable.

Also ignores the human cost in lives of said lockdown. Will steer clear of vaccine talk as there is no point.

He may well have said that, it may have been part of a larger context-

However what everyone seems to miss here is that a second national lockdown also has a cost in human lives - ie, people will die whichever course of action is chosen.

Seems like a media attack for the sake of it.

And I am not fond of Sunak either but come on.

famima for their moca coffee.

Premium selections have disappeared from the others.

Yall seem to be forgetting in many Ryokan you dont have to take the dining package you can take the su-domari. (Not all though)
