I don't see why people don't just lie about having the tattoos. The only way the mayor would know is if they went to the onsen with him.

I didn't at all imply that a significantly older man dating a younger woman was any better. I just said that an older woman dating a younger man is not a good idea. Point missed, I think.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Most people are supporting this? Did I miss the boat or something?
I've dated a woman much older than me and she wanted to get married really, really fast. She also was expecting children immediately after. Never again! An older woman's biological clock will be ticking super loudly in her late thirties, and menopause is waiting just around the corner. Not to mention that the risks with having a child after 35 increase dramatically.
Unfortunately, there is a lot more than just love that plays into this...

Apparently not. It seems money is their main concern.

It's about time! I would think that there would be more than 1300 angry people over this though...

We need fewer consoles and more games. That's what made the PS2 so strong.

Japan's taxes are already very high. Japan has resident tax and extremely high car taxes on top of the usual taxes such as consumption tax, property tax, income tax, health insurance tax, and pension payments. Also, the pension that Japan gives out is very, very small. This is how they can afford to give a pension. Although, many Japanese are worried that the retirement age will be raised significantly or that eventually the pensions will run out.
I don't own property and I pay out 26% of my income in taxes at least.

How is it possible for a young person to save up a million dollars for a car these days is beyond me. Most people won't even make that in a lifetime.

North Korea has a large amount of people in their military, but it's far from strong. North Korea is suffering from a lack of food, and most places don't even have electricity. They had that one small nuclear test earlier, but I doubt they are anything to fear, unless you live in Seoul where they could launch a preemptive strike and flatten the city in minutes with regular shells.

I'd love to eat fresh fruit all the time, but in Japan the prices are insane! Fresh fruit is more like a treat for me when I can afford it.
