  I think it has to do a lot with the discouragement of creative thinking. Japanese people are just not very good at tackling problems individually. Then there is also a prevailing opinion that says it is perfectly acceptable to end your own life when you have become a burden to…

  He'll be out when he's 30 with a whole life ahead of him, unlike his sister. Yuki Goto gets 5 1/2 years for stealing some cables, this guy gets 7 years for hacking his sister to pieces. Justice?

  So the guy was elected without any experience or agenda because his father was in a safe seat. Yeah, that sounds like a whole new start to me.

  In my opinion it is fine when people you are familiar with shorten gaikokujin to gaijin. However, if someone I didn't know would address me as gaijin that could be an indication of a hostile attitude. It depends on the situation really, I wouldn't say it's a racist word per…

  I think stopping the sale of sick sadistic rape manga sold in nearly every convenience store should be a good start in bombarding these wackos with depravity. From the story it sounded more like the guy was bragging about his repulsive deeds rather than confessing to them.

  Japanese companies have to get their management quality to a level which compares to the rest of the modern world. The system where people are promoted based on seniority rather than competence creates an environment where simplistic thinking like "an increase in working hours equals an increase in productivity" still…

  Well, in my opinion forcing people to demonstrate pride in your country in such a manner undermines the right of people to express their opinions freely. In fact I would go as far as to say that when such a demonstration is required by law it makes the act rather…
