Pls refer to that link for more accurate statics.
www.uchinanchu.org/history/listofcrimes.htm.
The difference between Civilian criminals and Service men are Civilians were punished without mercy according the local law. Pampered boys were mildly discharged or got very weak punishment. The duty of Uniformed arm force is protecting the community. Not bullying or abusing with their power and status.
Individual Mad person crime was very low comparing with ithe whole episodes of Base history.

Patrick!
You post has the longest life span in that old thread.Japan was honored for such as sacrifice for the sake of Japan decline. I agree most of the most of Zenpun and Athletes. I prefer not not die the by indiscriminate gun shots, drug abuse and crime spree streets than relatively ordered civic society. Individual freedom and rights does not mean we can impose our ideology to others to follow and worship them. I love eating meats however I have no rights to force Vegetarians to follow my way. Thanks for their way, more live stocks for meat eaters. It is a natural way of balancing the available resources.
Child abuse existed more in Utah & some surrounding area. They have Polygamy group which married multiple under aged wives. Until a few years ago, they had freedom to exploit the rights of freedom. Their rights and freedom is against with the mentality of main stream decent American society. Modern decent American society does not allow the pointless religious freedom for promoting the idea of special interest group.
How does a Japan holding non-productive foreigners really benefit Japanese society? Not all expats are skilled and excellent contributors of economy. Recently Japanese descendants of Brazilian national moved back to Brazil. Most of them were low paid unskilled workforce. Firstly I thought that Japan will have no more tomorrows without them. However the Sun still rise from the East.
If the animals are starving and out of their cage, there will be nightmares.
Not all entrepreneurs are wise and talented. For entrepreneurs who will risk his own money, they have to be welcomed with red carpet. If they want to risk other people money, we are no longer affordable.
Low tech products can be marketed easily to wider population. High tech products are not essential. For example I can survie without computer and Ipad. Not without rice cooker and fridge.
They are not perfect. However most Japanese products have good reputation in the market because of TQM(Total Quality Management). It is better testing than without testing at all.
Why do we need to do election and employing public servants? They better not to do anything. They are useless for economy and society. We have to remove all of the leaders and bureaucrats. If there is no leader, there will be confrontation and arguments for making decision. People will fight each other for domination. Not much different from stone age.
It may be true in Theory. In the real world, politicians control the people. Some are corrupted and fraudulent. They exaggerated the threat and spent the fortunes for their interest. People are exploited by their leaders and politicians. Not all of them faced the justice. Therefore I think Government control the people. In some cases, they protect people. In some cases, they protect their deception and reputation.

Land shortage means fertile land and breed able ground for live stock. Japan is also the most disaststers affected nations on earth. The more earthquake prone buildings needed to be built for accomodating more people. Without preparation and importing more people means suicide mission for all. This is more realistic observation for essential needs of people such as food, water, energy and safe accommodation. It is the real world which can not cope the rising demand of population with available resources.

Japan has lower crime rate. It has the positive impact on Japanese society. Japanese employers are relutantant to fire workers. Therefore it is keeping more social order. Which system is perfect?
More skilled workers needs more job opportunities. The rate of decline in Japan was a structure and investment problem. Not about skilled shortage. Japanese Architecture and engineering is one of the finest in the world.
It is very irresponsible and inhumane too. Starvation, Great Depression and Natural Disasters needs more intervention. If there is no Government, there will be more dead bodies, chaotic food shortage and social disorder. If there is no Government intervention, there will be no need to pay the salaries of Bureaucrats and Public servants.
The fairly obvious solution is to implement a policy of encouraging immigration, with a careful selection process to attract educated, hard-working young people from Asia to come and live and work in Japan.
Japan has plenty of homeless and unemployment right now. There is power shortage, land & food shortage and disasters damage. It is over populated with small land space. Your solution is out of touch with reality. Japan needed to find another fertile in other planet for accommodating all of people you mentioned. Get back to the reality.

For example, civilian court case were transfered as military court case which was highly biased and protected to pamper boys. If local residents committed the similar crime, they may be punished with death sentence.
My old post has missed some part. Pls read again carefully.
Okinawa is many times poorer than mainland.There is not much economic benefits for hosting the base. Otherwise, it has to be richest Island in Japan. Most of the jobs are temporary contracts funded by J government Business are just small food outlets and bars. In the reality, Okinawa base is very close to Taiwan and far away from Japan. It is more like protecting Taiwan instead of Japan. Taiwan is many times richer than Okinawa without Air Base.
Economic benefit is negligible. If they want to protect Japan, they have to base somewhere in Mainland. Not in Okinawa.

When we compare the statics of a few business opportunities and unspeakable crimes, it is just a huge social burden. Because of the base, energy consumption has sky rocketed. Without nuclear power supply, it can not be sustainable. Energy shortage was a main reason for their relocation.
Modern warfare is not depending much on air base and air craft carriers. If the bully boys launched the MRTRV(Multiple Reentry Targeted Reentry Vehicles) to the air base. It will be disappear in seconds. There is no credibility about Air Base is deterring the Bully boys. Besides that base is bully boy of local residents too. Locals are fed up about their injustice and legal protections to pampered boys.

China did not make mistake Patrick! Japan made mistake for opening market blindly without risk assessments. China was smart enough not to follow the lecture and pressure for opening market and appreciating currency. What Zenpun was saying that Japan needs to open market slowly and gradually. Pointing the Japan mistake can make other emerging nations not to follow the reckless misadventure(Real Estate and Stock market speculation). Financial and investment Gurus are not Gods.
True. China has 1.3 billion people. Japan has 130 millions. As a ratio of speakers with the whole population, China is not much different from Japan.
I am wondering Japan has badly bottomed. It is doomed and gloomed now. why not we think about moving to greener land. It is a right time for packing and leaving. Without our enormous contribution and Mount everest tax payment, Japan will not survive and extinct. For the sake of Japan, we reluctantly have to live and work here. It is our proud moment for love Nippon or Leave Nippon.

Many celebrities became Vegans it is not because they are forced to do it. In the west, vegans may be new ideology! In the east, Vegans have been existed for many thousand of years. When Beatles went to India in 1960s, they have to follow Hindu tradition for having meals. According that article, celebrities like having vegetables instead of meat. They are not pointing guns to anyone to follow their choice. However it is a minestrone of something have to change for sustainability.
Chinese love eat pork! Japanese like fish! Westerners like beef! If everyone in the world does not stop eating meat, it can not sustainable for that particular stocks! Some have to be vegans for sake of environment , sustainability and compassion!
There are some problems with industrialization with this issue. However there are new technology emerging for increasing the high volumes of crops. For example, China and India have huge population. They can not feed their people with traditional way. They have to follow the GM (Genetically Modified) agriculture practice!
Another problem with meat are mad cow decease, Chicken flu etc. Back in early 1990s, Chicken flu spreaded Asia and it is very hard to distinguish between good chickens and bad chickens. The solution is everyone has to stop having Chickens for sometimes.

US is an only developed nation without the universal health care. Employer is solely responsible for employee health care. If someone lost the job he lost the health insurance too. Even someone still have a job, employer wish to reduce some benefits. Prescribed medication are more expensive in states. For some Americans, going oversea for elective surgery is more economic than paying long term health insurance premiums. I think it is a major setback for attracting the talents.
At the moment, some Asian nations are developing their health care facilities and professionals for medical tourists. In my view, working in those nations will be wiser for middle aged people. Wages may be low however cost of living and crime rate are low too. When their health condition has changed, they will get a quality care promptly with affordable price.

May be your husband have experienced for carnivorous activities. He may have special charm for you. However another woman may think he is just an ordinary guy. It is depending on individual taste and preference. Some Japanese women crazy about African men because they think they are more powerful for sex. Not all western or eastern men or men are same stereotype.
If Russian and eastern European women included in Western Women definition, this statics is not accurate. These nations are exporting many mail order young brides into Japan, Taiwan and South Korea. When I was in eastern Europe, the girls even bought the drinks for me. They can speak some Japanese too. The main reason is they want to move into greener land for better opportunities. Not because Japanese men are more attractive and charming. They do not concern much about the sexual prowess of men either.
In most cases, it is according your gatekeepers theory. Japanese men prefer western women who are more open and receptive. They are more sociable. However they are not something special either.
The other factor is crowded living condition in cities. In country side, there will be more sex between couples. If the gatekeeper said no, true gentlemen will follow their wish even she is his own wife. I agree with one Zenpun statement of female sexual desire. It is just lightening on the sky before they reach their prime.
When the woman is horny, they will be pushy and demanding. For other way around there will be a different story. It is not easy for both man and woman are horny at the same time. Men are just scape goat in this one sided article.
