Ever read Twain's "The War Prayer"? This story is eerily similar...

BIG mistake. Next thing you know they will ask for equal human rights. BAD idea indeed.

Don't be daft. Human rights is not having to register at all for any government.

@Knowbetter- Wow...that was a long, wasted rant to write considering that these rules are basically international in nature.

of course, the real reason isn't that the devices interfere, but that they want to control you. This isn't a "Japanese thing", however much you'd like it to be.

If the girls are showing the legs they shouldn't complain when people take photos of them! If he took a picture of her face, what would the problem be?

If you think this is "karma" you have a messed up set of morals. I'd rather see every whale in the ocean turn to dust than have one human being drown in the ocean.

I have a great idea: In a time where Japan is in serious need of inspiration and freedom, let's crack down on fun and make it as boring as possible!

Why don't they just legalize prostitution and let people do what they want?

God forbid Japanese get to hold a currency that's worth something! If you take this to its logical Keynesian conclusion we should just force everyone to spend every cent....that'll make us all rich!!

Personally, I prefer to have a currency with value. The dollar is going to hyperinflate to Zimbabwean…
