Yes, some citizens just can't the social pressure to conform and they explode. This will always happen, there's nothing to be done about it. The price paid for this aspect of japanese culture. Err I think I believe what I just wrote.

What's so magical about 85 cm anyway?? Why not 83cm or 87cm?? It's all just nonsense. Long hours, stress for the huge number of contract workers and smoking are the IMPORTANT health issues. But of course the government doesn't dare tackle these issues.

As if the japanese government cared about the health of the nation's workers! They just allow the slaves, err I mean workers to be worked to death without overtime pay and then pretend to be concerned about the slaves' health. Just a big joke. You have to look after yourself.…
