  Poor old things. If they haven't already suffered enough having to live in Okayama

  We should judge a society by how it treats its most vulnerable members, the aged and children. Japan gets an "F" all round. Could be worse. Could be Saitama or Kyushu! The gates of Hell itself.

  What has Japan become? So selfish to not even take care of their parents, who labored over their families their entire lives.

  Looks like if you want Japanese traditions to live, you must find it via ex-pats living abroad. All the ex-pats I know families are either taking care of their parents or children with disabilities -- at home, not passing them off to strangers.

  You watch a Japanese woman die in a nursing home because of kidney failure. Who's unsympathetic nursing staff wouldn't even allow the dying woman to eat a spoon of hot rice, she so wanted before death (wouldn't have mattered what she ate at that stage!). I'd never let my mom suffer such disgrace, as I value tradition and respect her, not some strangers beliefs being more paramount.

  Your parents didn't desert you, why slap them down when they finally need your help?

  Shame, Japan, shame.
