Customer: What an interesting looking teabag. Is this "Earl Grey"? Customer2: I'm pretty sure it's Japanese tea. See! The stem is standing up. That's good luck.

@Elbuda Awww, I have to ride against you this time. Freedom. Free minds, Choice, Love man. That's all human rights. Job or no job. You can't cross that line. You can't fire a good hard-working employee cause of what's on his skin.
Wrong man, totally wrong.
Your argument is off too. You've had good posts in the past and I agree with you on some things but you're perception of the situation is off.
You claim that people are using tattoos to scare people. That's all in your head bro. They did it for them and it had nothing to do with YOU. You give yourself too much credit.
People have to respect ALL. That's the whole thing with people you call "minorities". You've already labelled them as "minor" "small" in your mind. That's mistake number one.
A free mind, a creative mind, is nothing to fear. Yet for some reason the tattoos scare you.
Now comes the hard part. If JT will allow me to "Tell like it is". For some of you, NOT ALL, your arguments on this topic are a bit hypocritical in my opinion.
You've always wanted to shag some hot chick with that sexy tattoo on her back or leg. Yet still you'd like to fire her. What is it really? The tattoo turns you on or it just makes you want to fire her?
I'll be straight up with you as I've always have been...I'm at the beach and I see that tattoo on her body. She's a bit freaky. Kinda turns me on. I love it. I'm also her employer, should I fire her?
It works both ways you know. Chicks like guys with tattoos as well.
To each their own I say. Only a boring putz politician like Hashimoto would try to make all people the same.
This whole thing is a learning experience for us all. The government, recently, has descended into a fascist state that wants to control every aspect of the people's lives. It's deteriorating, not improving. They criticize North Korea but they aren't far behind. You better sing Kimigayo or else. You must not get ink on your body. There's a whole lot more but I can't get into that cause it would be deemed off topic.
There's one organization that thinks exactly the same way. That's the MILITARY!! In such contract, you OFFICIALLY become property of the government. Seems like they want that for civilians as well. Or is your government changing ;-) ??

@mikeinhach Boeing is on top of the problem but production is slow. The Boeing 787 series is the new Flagship for economic flight. Airplanes have preset flight plans that are set to optimize everything for max efficiency in order to cut costs.
The new 737-MAX uses the same technology as the 787. So to answer your question, yes, efforts are being made to change the way we fly.
The oil price may never go down again but the industry is working around the problem.

That's that old "Oyagi" pride talking. There comes a time when you must remove the old bark from the tree.

AKB48 you now have the duty of saving your country from financial turmoil. We want you to get YOUR fans to give Japan's government the money....thus making your cut smaller.

Of course he didn't deliberately mislead anyone. He's a puppet. It's not as if he had a will of his own. He's just doing what he's told to do.
If he should be fired it would be because he's still responsible for public safety and as such he should have the power to conduct tests with an independent panel of experts. Instead he chose not to do so therefore he should be held responsible.
Of course that has always been his plan. Be the willing scapegoat and behind closed doors.....well lets just say "He's now set for life"
This guy is a genius though. The people don't want to know. The people want to forget. This allows them to live out there normal lives and enjoy Hanami under the nuclear radiated cherry blossoms. Might as well be an episode of "The Walking Dead".

@KariHaruka They would not have been there if Japan hadn't forced them to be there. Instead Japan used such people as a human shield.
There is a difference between Japan and the U.S though. We don't deny what we did. War is a terrible thing, it's monstrous. No matter what, you only inflict more pain by denying what was done.
Japan should pay these people and their families. Hopefully the forced sex slaves will have another day in court.

2012, End of the World? OH there's a definite possibility with people losing their minds (and genitals) like this.
There are all kinds of cheap punch lines we could throw at this story.
That's just gross ya know. No matter how you serve it up, All these words I can't use.
Personally as a Pro-Male activist it is simply disgraceful that he would give up his manhood. Sad.

You guys love this? Pretty isn't it? Now go check your mail box. In it you'll find a bill with the name TEPCO on it. In there you should find a memo about the increase in your fees for your power consumption.

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls. The fun never ends. This is just one example of Japan's efforts to change history and rule everything they disagree with..
This same group also contacted Google and asked them to change Google Earth's maps to reflect their version of the world. Especially the disputed areas.
History books are even being changed to alter the perception of the war and the depth of Japan's invasion into some nations.
Most Japanese still feel they are the divine race.

Without quality content it will be almost meaningless. Some people I know won't even touch iTunes Japan. Content is late and the choices limited. It's becoming more common to use VPN in order to use NetFlix and other services. Of course it's a small minority of the society here that use such services but we feel it's necessary.
No matter what, It will be difficult to beat AppleTV.

P.S: Perhaps Hashimoto considers tattoos as defacing public property.

Japan has the idea of employment totally off key. They believe you give YOUR life and soul to your company. You are never off the clock with them. Now I respect the company's expectation of it's workers to be outstanding citizens outside work but trying to dictate what they can say, do, or wear is O.B.

Hey Ted, what is NORMAL? You've got a reference point or a special compass to figure that out. Did everybody get a copy of the book you are reading? I've been in Japan for a long time and I haven't seen normal yet.
Did you ever imagine for once that people are the way they are NATURALLY? They aren't trying to be.....THEY ARE. They don 't have to hide anything for you or me. You have a wire in your backyard and they have a wire in their backyard. If they are hanging out all panties or all undies THAT's their business and they have a right to air whatever they please.
Seems like you would like to muzzle them. You're asking them to simply be quiet and go away.
Truth be told, there are misconceptions on both side of the fence. However there's one fact that remains. They, GLAAD, are here, they exist, they aren't going anywhere, they demand an audience and they're going to have their day.
Whether or not you choose to associate with them is your business. You will NOT deny two consenting adults the right to a legal union based on their gender.

SPOILER ALERT you want to read.
It is a broken and warped system. Reality has nothing to do with any case you have.
A person with anything other than Japanese nationality has 0 chance in family court. You could walk into their court with all the evidence and the world but the judge won't look at it.
Posted in: 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.
