Confusing for the locals in my town. They think red means speed up.

Look the USA don,t have a left. What it has is an ultra right and centre right. If the USA ever had a left political party you would have free heath care, affordable pharma, and decent minimum wage of $20 an hour, compulsory voting, paid superannuation for all workers, decent customer service and no tipping so to finance the $2.10 an hour for your slave labour class.

too right!

however, anything that leans slightly away from centre right becomes labelled with the ‘s’ word.

(that’s socialism for the maga’ts here)

How many of those registering for unemployment voted for the cretin, I wonder.

Posted in: Trump says it may be better to let Ukraine, Russia 'fight for a while' See in context

Cretin. That the media reports every brain fart from his poisonous, poisoned soul as if it were ‘normal’ is just as sickening as having to look at the cretinous monster.

Posted in: Teen girl jumps to her death from building after meeting boys on suicide website See in context

what If these boys joined that website in order to goad or watch someone commit suicide for their own entertainment, then claim they chickened out? Lot of sick people in this society, as is evidenced by the mere existence of suicide websites.

Posted in: Opposition chief sorry for calling gov't reserve rice 'animal feed' See in context

Just another in an endless line of privileged elite politicians putting their foot in their mouths. I bet he’s never had to buy rice from the supermarket either.

Israel has blockaded Gaza for 12 weeks!! Of course these starving desperate people are going to freak out when food finally arrives.

of course US is making money from this humanitarian crisis, that’s all they know.

Posted in: 17-year-old girl arrested after stabbing 3 classmates at school See in context

It’s been a while since a “I just wanted to kill someone” attack. Had a feeling they were going out of fashion but no, it still exists in this society. What creates that in someone?

I met a “I want to kill my parents” woman in Australia many years ago. I thought she was joking, but no, deadly serious.

sick.

Posted in: Japan's gold standard health insurance system at politicization risk See in context

The cold-fear factor here is off the scale. They definitely overdo it.

man, turn up 30 minutes before the clinic opens to ensure a short wait time, and the car park and waiting room are already full. Is it that the pharmaceutical companies stoked fear in order to move more units, or is it a cultural thing? The slightest sniffle, “you should go to the hospital” (!!!)

this is the only time I will ever agree with you.

Posted in: In trade war with U.S., China holds a lot more cards than Trump may think − in fact, it might have a winning hand See in context

This will not compute with MAGA crowd. For a start it’s TLDR, and also their dear leader is a genius negotiator playing 38D chess.

Still no mention of the zero tariffs for Russia.

Posted in: Police officer arrested for public indecency after exposing himself at shopping center See in context

This reflects more on the types of people who seek to join the police force here. I’ve known some young people here whose behaviour was quite antisocial, even sociopathic as high school students, who went on to join the police force as their future opportunities narrowed. Hope I never have to rely on them for anything.

Posted in: Trump escalates conflict against defiant Harvard See in context

if you take away funding, then you might as well take away every advancement made by Harvard research, such as organ transplants, MRIs, cancer detection, medicines, etc.

Bass replies: “Sounds good to me.”

There, folks, is the MAGA hypocrisy. How on earth can you ‘make amerika great again’ by taking away those kind of massive advancements in science?!?!

Posted in: Japan police arrest 111 in online child exploitation crackdown See in context

111 is a good start. Now start on the deep societal and cultural aspects that allow and accept this abhorrent behaviour.

Posted in: Trump orders plan to dismantle Education Department See in context

He said it, remember? “I love the uneducated”

Why? Because they are easily duped by his huckster, carnival barker, lies.

of course those evil, poisonous ‘moms for liberty’ are on board with this. And anyone celebrating this as a good thing must be lumped in with them.

Posted in: Pharmacists across Japan say they are increasingly subjected to harassment and abuse from customers over drug shortages. Why do you think some customers act like this? See in context

Because the pharma companies in Japan have got the population addicted to the idea that taking a medicine for absolutely anything and everything is the answer to all their problems.

I still can’t get over how every person around me asks did I take medicine if I mention a sniffle, a slight cough, a headache, hay fever, a sore elbow….

He is doing a fantastic job of implementing what the voters voted for.

@JJE

i couldn’t agree more. You voted for chaos and that’s what you got. Congratulations. But just as long as you’re happy, screw everyone else, right?

Posted in: Currently, there are about 210,000 traffic lights nationwide in Japan. Do you think some of them are in places where lights aren't really needed? See in context

They are put in place to remove any driver decision making on whether it safe to go or not. However, 40% of road fatalities in Japan occur at light controlled junctions

nobody cares what colour the lights are. At every stop at every set of lights I watch drivers going through red lights or arrows. It’s so deeply in the culture that it won’t be changed but putting more lights here n there.
