> "Many in Japan still view suicide as an honorable deed and a viable alternative. "
This is not such a bad thing in and of itself. However, too many of these suicidal people take innocent people with them, and if they don't they leave behind so many affected people. If, say, each suicide has left 10 people (friends, family, associates) in a very bad emotional and/or financial state, then each year there are about 350,000 people in very bad straits due to suicide in Japan, over a million citizens every three years. That obviously is a problem of devastating proportions.
The author is obviously an amateur, but does refocus our attention on such a negative drag on J-society. So, thanks for that.

"Takuma7 at 05:27 AM JST - 14th January Crime is the breach of rules or laws for which some governing authority (via mechanisms such as legal systems) can ultimately prescribe a conviction. per wiki She did not follow the rules and laws by not having the kids in a car seat or wearing seatbelts. Only way people are going to learn is to enforce the laws."
There is no law broken here - it's not required by law to wear seat belts in the back seat.

This is the J-version of elder-care. The social support in Japan is third world. So silly - it's so easy to see that elder care in the community is much cheaper than elder care in prison. So short sighted.

"Pole dancing is a stipper's dance and to compare it with real Olympic athletics is absurd" - unfortunately this is no longer the case - from an exciting event, this has become dull and lifeless, not sexy at all. It is gymnastics now, and therefore lost it's punch.
