Those who say the Japanese aren't burdened by so-called "judeo-christian" puritanism are proven wrong when it comes to drugs. The urge to control people's private lives can be just as strong here as in places where people believe the creator of the universe cares how we eat, dress, or perform sexual congress. Activities which produce no victims should not be crimes.

Antiquated. An evolutionary dead end. Think about this peeps...in the 21st century, the Age of Reason, when we have such wonderful inventions as our current medium, in which all of the information and thought ever conceived by mankind can be converted into 1s and 0s and transmitted around the world in a flash..or our the makeup of nature itself can be determined by 4 letters in a DNA chain, J-ed still consists of ritualized activities in which Ss are not expected, indeed not allowed, to engage actively with reasonably useful subjects or conduct any sort of meaningful enquiry. Instead it's bunkasais and "os os os" during masochistic and developmentally retarding club activities. The classroom, where presumably Ss should be developing socially and intellectually, is mostly just considered fluff. Japan brought feudalism into the 21st century, but it won't bring it into the 22nd. Scrap their ed system or risk very serious decline before our century's out.

It's ironic how int'l shipping, the industry that's gone the furthest to divest itself of modernity, is beset by a pre-modern plague. That said, my solution to Somali piracy would be to blow up the mansions built by the rich ones. Satellite images could reveal them, give an hour's notice, then drop a 1000 pound bomb on it.

Not murder. Infanticide. As in, there are mitigating circumstances.

They should train people to stand properly on the platforms. Seems no matter how much safety gurus rail against this problem, no one listens. Perhaps she became scared, and died of freight.
