you've got to love this. GLOBIS head comes on Japan Today trying to hawk his MBA course and ends up being schooled by tkoind2's comments. Amen tkoind2 - MBA graduates just turn everything into spreadsheets which look good on paper but don't work in real life

******meanngliess eco-policies
Yeah this sums it up really.
Japan will never have any problem procuring food though because it has the technology that the rest of the world needs.
The future is about MUTUALITY not rugged independence.

I would say that this is an example of how the value of life is different for Japanese and non-Japanese.
The child has a Japanese parent and therefore should be with that parent.
The rights of the other parent just don't exist. Japanese people first. Protect the emperor and expell the barbarians.
This way of thinking still exists very strongly.
There is also a rigidity in Japanese thinking that is imbued by the education system that allows no flexibility. There is no flexibility. Hence a woman separated from her husband can feel no compassion or understanding from her husband.

they treat food as almost pornographic content -
it's sustenance, remember.
And millions of Japanese eating raw fish everyday comes at a price, i.e the pillage of the world's oceans and the buying of fishing rights in poor countries like Fiji etc.
U.S. = beef and meat extravagance Japan = fish extravagance.
Wait till China and India get hold of these tastes and see what happens !!
gotta love Japanese food but I think the Greeks had it right - bread, vegetables, wine and of course a pack of malboro for breakfast

you are forgetting one thing - how they eat. Japanese sit down and scoff down their food in 10 minutes with slurping and squelching noises.
The Europeans have the joie de vivre in their eating with laughter, bonhomie, humour and camaraderie. I'd far rather sit around a table with the French or Italians and actually enjoy the experience rather than just be surrounded by a sea of "oishii" "sugoi!" over and over again

People - fight together on this one - 'cos its one fight worth winning.
I have two children here in Japan and I sympathise with the fathers.
Thanks JT for taking this up.
Children need both the male and the female to develop into balanced humans. Too many Japanese people, in my opinion, have been over-feminized by too much mollycoddling and not enough tough love from Dad.
Kids need Mum and Dad, or Mum and Mum if Mum is a very butch lesbian.
This issue is gaining ground now. Keep up the fight !!

Maybe, it must just be a good idea, perhaps, to erm.. ban pornographic material with children in from corner shops ?
naah, that's just me being old-fashioned.
they are only cartoons after all.

My actual experience has been that Japan remains a nation of "talkers" not "do-ers" in terms of actual lifestyle change
Yes this would seem to be the case. Hence in Tokyo the emergence of people using "my chopsticks" and wearing hemp hats. It's a fashion statement.
Would they give up their car or flying around the world ? Not likely. It's just trendy to give a crap, you know

lobby the governments to stop making plastics and petrochemical derived products. that's real action with a good result. not eco trendy though, and therefore not so good for self-aggrandisment

Hmm this all seems very well except that the author drives a car and flies internationally several times a year according to the blog on website. Perhaps if she set an example other people might follow ?
the usual eco hypocrisy - it's a fashion statement at the end of the day
What is greenz.jp ? looks like a front for greenwashing to me

I wonder if they'd consider banning child porn ? I could take you to several high street shops in Shinjuku and Shibuya tomorrow that are openly selling videos of minors engaged in sexual activities. It is incredibly hard to prevent child abuse while these sorts of materials are available - and it legitamizes child abuse in the eyes of the abusers !
