people who are shocked about 16 year olds having sex need to study some history; the age of consent used to be THIRTEEN in the united kingdom during the victorian era and a great deal of money would be paid for the (guaranteed) virginity of a nice 13 year old wench in charles dicken's london. and 13 if anyone was bothered to bring the crime to court.
at least in terms of sexual morals i don't think much ever changes. far better to legislate for it rather than hope it will just "go away"

this is encouraging news that the culture of wage slavery might be slowing. hopefully population decline will force employers to actually offer something to their employees rather than expecting a steady stream of drones who will put up and shut up

if your parents are of different nationalities then disallowing dual nationality forces children to choose between a parent. pretty tough and unfair, imo
Posted in: One in every 30 babies born in Japan has at least one foreign parent. We have to discuss very seriously how we should involve foreign residents in building our society.

reaching a consensus in which the needs of as many parties as possible are balanced is terribly time consuming, isn't it? ...
Posted in: Maybe what Japan needs right now is a dictator, a dictator with good intentions. If you spend your time discussing issues, then for example the abductions issue will remain unsolved. Certain things can only be achieved by a dictator. He can act decisively within a limited period of time.
