Very good post, tkoin2. The study is by all means poor. 300 people and by internet. Besides, it relates income with "dating" and "paying for sex". It does not consider "sex buddies", which may include more people, as women may see them as a nice man to have sex with…

Her body, her life, her decision. Anybody can do any harm to his/her own body. You cannot punish someone for things that are 100% private (yes for dealing/buying, not for using drugs).

I am in favour of individual liberties. Anyone is free to do with their life whatever they want. I dont care if she takes or not drugs, as long as she doesnt bother me. OK, it is illegal. But the illegality is based in the concept that the government knows…

I think this will generate that less people want to become teachers. Being 4,5,6 or 10 years at university doesnt matter if students are not incentived to learn and stricter evaluation processes are put in place.

tourism dropped everywhere. I don' t understand those who blame fingerprinting or "concrete". I dont think many Singaporeans or Chinese come here looking for wild animals. Tourists go to Tokyo, Kyoto and Hiroshima. Very few go to Tottori. If you want wilderness, go to Alaska, where at the airport you…

Parents dont know what to do with their children and children usually participate in official activities rather than free grouping. Its still summer, in winter this is going to be really serious (not because of the flu itself, but because it is highly possible that at least 1 child per…

The taxis in Hiroshima are quite good: taxi drivers are helpful, the car is clean and they do the small things that make the difference: help you with the luggage, wait for you with the door opened, not speak on the phone nor see tv while driving, etc. I think…

His comments are stupid but correspond with Japanese traditional society way of thinking. Having performed more than 700 weddings as conductor, I see that couples that are really happy and irradiate love are the less.
Having said that, I disagree with Aso: you marry because you love your partner and…

Is having taken drugs a crime in Japan? Possession and being under the influence of drugs are, but how about past things? What if she says: "I took them in other country"? I repeat the concept: taking drugs (in present) is illegal, being under their influence is illegal, having them…
