Nigelboy: I think using the word 'foreigner' when it's not absolutely required is definitely rude at the very least.

Huh? Can you give me an example??

When I heard the news last night, I told my wife that someone here would try to make this a race issue.

Stupid question can only be answered with another stupid question.

Do you consider the word "foreigner" as racist?

I believe I made my situation clear by stating that such forced confessions that you scream about is not rampant among the judicial system in Japan. I even gave you the low % of arrested criminals who are subsequently incarcerated. And yes. I do feel sorry for those who are…

Therefore, I find the use of the quote to somehow equate the securing of resources as some kind of self-defense on Japan's part to be very disingenuous.

I believe it's very difficult to understand Japan's position from a view of today's nationals whose nation had already possessed those resources. May…

BIG difference.

Sorry Blue Tiger. My point was to counter your "what is considered severely visually impaired" point by stating that "intoxicated" is another subjective decision but certainly a criteria that is needed in private establishments.

The membership criteria also indicates that people associated with gangs are not allowed to…

I've been having some of this out with nigelboy on the Nick Baker thread. Apparently this story must be made up, because forcing confessions is illegal here, and therefore never happens. The Kagoshima police must know this never happens, has never happened, and cannot ever happen, making any form of…

Sop being unable to see (not by choice) and being intoxicated (definitely a choice) are the same thing? Interesting parallel

Nope. I was hoping that you fight for the rights of an alcoholic for alcoholism is a "disease".

Why is it so hard, then, if "professional assistance" is needed for…

Because, nigelboy, the family said that they'd be with her, and, as she is an adult, she probably knows it isn't a good idea to run wild in a health club in the first place. Obviously, the parents who let their children run wild in such a place have little…

Nigelboy, my point about parents being allowed to let their children run wild inside a gymn with little to no supervision gives the lie that this blind woman would be a liability. She'd actually be a safer customer than these parents,

Why would that be?

Get off of your high…
