maybe the title should be: "Dealing with sexual harassment, as defined by your home country and it historic and cultural mores in the workplace in a country you chose to come to, which if you don't like you are free to leave."
the "Claire" example, seems to be a normal business situation in Tokyo for sure, and where is the harassment?

I don't think the "news" ever made any money for newspapers... it was the advertising that brought in the money. In the "information age" seems all the newspapers have the same info... that which is now online, what's missing is the local news... with the exception of murder and mayhem very little local news has been printed by my "hometown" newspaper in years.. that includes the online service.... that and most of the "news" seems to push certain political slants... I suppose TV "news" is the same.

***also issued new ethics rules for his administration *** but those rules did not include intentional tax evasion, or foreign payoffs in the form of "donations" to "libraries".
would forcing the "detainees" to listen to the poem, and benediction from the inauguration be tantamount to torture?
