  Like I said, nobody is questioning whether the driver was at work at the time of the incident. The argument here is that in order for the plaintiffs to be awarded workers compensation, they had to prove that his actions were part of his job. Reasonable expectation? Sure. But…

  It appears your arguing with your emotions, javnation. I made my point clear. The judge ruled "rescuing" is an expected conduct within truck driving profession. That's another whole can of worms, IMO. That's why I have an issue with this ruling.

  The point is that he was where he was because of his job.

  That's not the point at all. The point of the judge is that he deteremined that ‘‘The rescue requested by a passenger involved in an accident is a deed that should be duly expected as part of…

  I don't think we're debating whether or not the accident occured while the truck driver was on duty. The point of debate is whether or not is within his job to rescue those injured passengers.

  Go to engrish.com and you can see hundreds and hundreds of similarly poorly written signs... they are only 'genius' in your overanalysis of them. It would be like saying 'Calpis' is genius, or 'Poccari Sweat' (both for which the names have been changed in exports).

  Completely irrelevant but…

  Can't blame the labor standards inspection office for this for what they did was follow the guidelines in regards to 労働災害

  メタミドホスが検出されたのは、もち米で、ウルグアイ・ラウンド合意に基づき０３年度に政府が中国から輸入した。その後、導入された残留農薬を厳しく規制する「ポジティブリスト制度」によるサンプル検査で、基準値を超える量が検出された

  The sweet rice in question which contained methamidophos was imported from China in 2003 pursuant to the Uraguay Round Agreement. Subsequently, with the increased regulation of chemical residue (Positive list method) the sample was tested and was determined that it contained above the…

  You're assuming that Metamidophos was used in fumigation when in most likelihood, it was sprayed over the top during the growth stage.

  The use of Metamidophos is illegal in Japan simply because the chemical was not registered in Japan. There are many agricultural products imported to Japan that has…

  What's the bet that methamidophos came from fumigation in Japan to control spoilage during that time?

  Zero. Metamidophos was never registered in Japan. So by default, the chemical cannot be used in Japan.
