too funny. Japan "advising" another country on labor laws! When will labor laws ever be enforced in Japan?

Amazing how these people in professional jobs just so easily throw their careers away. I just don't understand it.

these martial arts such as karate or aikido are just sports, nothing more. Just like playing golf or running, they are for fun and that's all. At least boxing and judo, for instance, are full force, nothing pulled back, so they are somewhat better

How long before we can just "beam" ourselves to work, as in Star Trek?? Solve all problems!
Really I don't even want to sit down on the commuter train anyway. You can easily find yourself next to the constant farter/ BO emitter/ Cancer stick reeker/bad breath from hell types, with no escape!

The worst martial art in the world is of course Taekwondo. Full of stupid totally unpractical high kicks and little punching. How did it ever become so wide spread?? So what ever you do stay clear of that pus. Go for either Hapkido or a combination of Muay Thaiboxing and Brazilian Jujitsu.

Well I have to say that this Mac "campaign" is just pathetic and insulting. But I also have to say how amused I have been reading the comments of the many japanophiles and japanapologists on this thread. The short termer can see no wrong.

Worst for me is British Airways. Their attendants make you feel that they are doing you a favor by acknowledging your presence. Best for me is Cathay Pacific. Always a pleasure to fly with them. And by the way WMD the 5 mile high club is not exclusive by any means. Many of us are members I can assure you!

Look I've never been a temp here in japan. I'm fortunate to be a forex dealer. But I do symphasise with those temps so easily thrown out of work. And the smug poster above will not feel so smug if and when riots break out on the streets when all these so called "disposable" workers decide they've just about had enough.

If the unemployment situation gets much worse, I won't be surprised if riots break out. Even in shoganai gaman japan. People will take only so much and then snap. They'll take notice of the unemployment problem then.

So what happens when the next "boom" occurs in say 5 years time?? These Japanese "bosses" will be complaining of a shortage of labor and trying again to import thousands of dirt cheap Brazilian slaves. Let's hope the word is out now and they all put two fingers up to these "bosses".

I think the unemployment situation has become so impossible that many have just given up. But I fear for the stability of society. There always many smug people around with their "I'm all right jack" attitude and total lack of sympathy for those not so fortunate as them. But when the riots and violence break out in the streets, they will certainly lose their smugness.

Inevitable. The choice for many is crime or suicide. Society's breakdown is upon us.
