  To compare the Japanese Imperial family with others is probably not relevant. I think the degree to which the locals are controlled by their minders is beyond comparison. It was only the current Emporer's father who did away with the practice of somebody else accompanying royals to the toilet (the…

  Hope he will also be eyeing his new career opportunities at the same time. Putting aside for a moment the rational arguments that Japan needs to do something about its government income if it expects the current social-net gravy train to continue, the fact of the matter is that raising…

  Don't if this is a case of domestic vs. imported. Based on the research I have done and the photos I have seen, I am fully in favor of them being banned (imported, domestic, whatever) until such as time as such products offer the same medical benefits as prescription contacts.…

  I do marketing research for a job. I tend to see a lot of contact lens related projects. Some of these projects involve interviewing people about their U&A (usage and attitudes) regarding contact lenses. The horror stories you here. There are people who like to scrimp on their contact lenses.…

  Tobacco is a drug. Heroin and hashish are also drugs. What are the street prices of herion and hashish in Japan? My argument would be to use similar pricing for tobacco. Make people who engage in such anti-social activity pay through the nose.

What about non-Japanese who have actually been in Japan for the amount of time required to generally receive permanent residency? Get to the back…

  Ethics are just a minor inconvenience NOT. The use of tissue samples in "research" without obtaining permission is something I would associate more with Josef Mengele. Pick up your game.
