All detergents should be banned in from selling in shops. People wishing to buy detergents should acquire a license!

This is why I refuse to clean the toilet.

50 deaths in the month?!?!? Incomprehensible! I thought it was mostly foreigners that hated living in Japan. I guess I was wrong!

Untill the say GOVERMENT of this country changered its hostile system of GOVERNCE, the number of people/person that want /will commit suicide will continue to raise.

So say the LORD.

One Japanese man once told me " that to live in this COUNTRY( Japan) is GAMA" Nihon jin demo Ganjin demo, Nihon sumita kere ba, GAMA suru shika nai.

To me with what I have seen so far in the COUNTRY/Japan. The answer is YAPARI SO.

This is the polite way to do it. Drive out to the country, turn the engine off and roll up the windows, combine fluids, and come to an end. No need to endanger the neighbors.

It's worth noting that these chemicals were developed overseas and brought into Japan.

beavis. It is also a very economical way to do it. One buys the bath ****** the other the toilet *******. The others rent the car.

rjdsr, yes, those chemicals were invented overseas. And since Japan didn't have the concepts of seppaku and hari-kiri prior to this, it's all the fault of the foreigners.

Jmorgan. Please use the Preview button before posting or even better, ask a friend to check your post's spelling as it is quite difficult to understand what you are wanting to say. Are you saying that in your opinion it takes "gaman", like extreme patience or self-control, to live in Japan?

I am disturbed that this took place in the "wee hours", when I assume there thus needed to be some kind of mass urinal evacuation...

Peace

Most likely is 'gaman' from the nuance of his sentence. Everyone has to 'endure' the hardships of living in a society/country like that, would be my interpreation of jmorgan's sentence. And sure enough with that odakyu punching bag story posted recently, incidents that in our own native countries which would see you with a criminal record or some form of retaliation for, we're supposed to keep quiet about it and endure in japan.

As for the news story itself, it'd be lovely if they find the webmasters of disgusting websites like that and severly sentence them... but i may be slightly too optimistic...
