@Mr Kipling, You are exactly right.

@WodyLee

If a government tax prostitution income then it becomes a pimp.

Why gambling illegally if you can buy bitcoin legally?

I just checked the price of bitcoin this morning. It was

US$ 98,428.

In 2008, when I came to this interesting country, it was just a few cents on the dollar.

I have heard that especially from 'Kyokushinkai' karate instructors.

@alongfortheride,

Let me add please, It is a soft crime of a 'de facto ' hard job.

@GuruMick,

My impression is good kicking techniques but weak punching teckniques.

Justice was finally served.

@ Mr Kipling,

However, this is soft crime.

Japanese are good drivers but always there are exceptions.

It was the right court decision.

Gumma-Ken is a dangerous area. There are lots of foreign workers stealing cars and car spare parts. There should be more patrolling during the night.

Why the bloody wall at the end of the runway?

Backcountry skiing is very dangerous. It should only be done in groups of at least five skiers carying also special emergency equipment. RIP.

Talking about ''silly investments in assets that do not physically exist'', I exchange my non physically existing crypto-coins in fiat (mainly Euro and Dollars) that I can't touch because they represent just an arithmetic amount in my online account.

Then, I make payments for food and other tangible items through my cellphone. I know there are millions of people out there like me.

Finally, what's the problem with the ''silly and non physically existing assets''???

My friend of 74 years old had received four (4) covid vaccinations and was proud of it.

Last April he got covid, hospitalized, released and was receiving medication at home. One month later he died.

I read a lot against covid vaccines on line.

I've lost my confidence in those vaccines.

Why must a Prime Minister be assassinated to make it known that organized religions are mafia?

This sentence is incredible. The right one would be a three year suspended sentence plus refunding the victims.

How much, those politicians who are going to make the AI rules, know about AI?

I hope the watch manual is also in English.

The artworks that were smuggled overseas must be returned to Japan. Famous museums in Europe display shamelessly stolen artworks from other countries.

The question is not the age of the drivers but whether the drivers have their minds with them or not.

Let's wait for five years to see if there will be anything that has been created without the help of AI.

It's a pity to kill bears and their cubs. There are so many other alternatives.

I read in Greek newspapers (www.makeleio.gr)

businessmen plan to install 24000 wind turbines, a project of millions of dollars.

Paid agents burn the forests to facilitate the installations.

The government is not able to cope with the hundreds of fires that appear simultaneously in multiple locations.

If there is a country in this world without sss (secret sex services) please let me know.

@Peter. Where from did you get that info?

There are about 550 crypto Exchanges worldwide.

Only a very small number of them has been hacked.

Moreover, not all of the hacked ones lost assets.

Thank you Etihad. I won't have to go all the way to Tokyo to catch your flights to Europe. You are slightly cheaper than Emirates and Qatar.

Please reduce the cost of tickets less than Yen 200,000.

It reminds me of some countries that impose heavy taxes on foreign made cars. Embassies' staff can buy them tax free. A top grade Lexus or Benz has a tax tag of more than $60,000. The tax free bought car is immediately passed over to a rich local resident with a post-dated sales contract as a used car and the tax free buyer gets a present of e.g. 50 per cent of the tax. The rich resident gets the car at $30,000 cheaper and the Embassy staff makes a profit of $30,000. It is what Americans call a win-win situation.

Gimme a break

When you start mistaking your belt for your necktie then it's a good indication that you should stop driving.
