JAPAN NEWS AND DISCUSSION
-
Daily life in Japan is punctuated by mind-boggling encounters with gross inattention to or tolerance of clearly excessive, unnecessary, easily reducible costs that are, in any case, being incurred and must at some point be paid for.

Japanese politicians cannot decide on anything. Without an overhaul of the way the nation’s government is structured, Japan will sink within three to five years.

We, as a creator of images, should not edit our publication in a way that would reinforce the ideal image of beauty built on lopsided ideas. We will make suggestions also for diet and health.

Who wants to be the first judge to order a crying child to be taken away from a crying Japanese mother and sent overseas? Nobody. When we talk about family law in Japan today, there really isn't any.

But surely the G8 only consists of 8 countries?
I want to know how many countries there are in the world that do not ban civil possession of child pornography.
Then I'll be really interested.

Besides, if a quarter of the G8 countries allow (in effect) child porn, what use is the group of 8 anyway?

It's to make rich countries richer. No one puts too much pressure on these two countries, because their money is needed.

Well, as long as the possession of the child pornography is kept civil, then there should be no complaint. But once the possession becomes egregious, then we have a problem. Interesting how possession of CP is tolerated and legal whereas possession of a naturally growing plant (cannabis or magic mushrooms) brings severe prison time. The whole CP industry requires victimization in order to thrive; much like pachinko.

I never would have guess that Russia did not ban civil possession of pornography.
The world is changing as we know it.
