Go on, put your head in the sand. You know what it means. Gamer words. Harassment. Lies. Scams. Stalking.
Free speech is a lie the jerks tell everyone so they can justify open season on the internet.
Facts aren't ideological. Your beliefs aren't real. There is an objective truth in every situation, and your opinions aren't free speech, just garbled words that nobody really needs to see in most cases, especially if they are founded on untruth.

The Palestinians have been there for 400 years. The Jews were moved back there about 100 years ago, and now they want it all. This is where we are. A ruthless extermination of a largely peaceful people. Hamas shouldn't have done the various things they did, but also the Jewish government have been pushing the to this purpose. They wanted a casus belli and they got it. They won't listen to anyone until the Palestinians are pushed out completely, children murdered, sick and old buried under rubble. If you defend this I have some questions about your morals. I've said it since day one, they got the excuse to flush out everyone and claim the land and they'll use it.

What a whiny B. There's never been a whiner more entitled man-child as a president in the history of any country. Just like all his followers. They all think they are intellectual gods when they didn't even finish high school most of the time. Half the people in congress or the house in the GOP barely if at all even got a GED. Or they went to a fake religious college that told them all they need in life is Jesus and to make the world end sooner so they can go to heaven.

The Japanese intelligentsia has tolerated stupid people becoming lawmakers, believing that it is not so smart people who become lawmakers. However, because of hereditary succession, too many really stupid people have become lawmakers. It is time to change this system by banning hereditary succession, etc., so that smart people become lawmakers.

They'd better be careful though. This was the same talk we had before the economic bubble burst in the late 80s. Lots of white elephant projects were built and developed only to have dozens and dozens of theme parks go out of business by the early 2000s.
Japan is so far from a bubble right now lol, but all I see on this website is people whining about tourism so I hope they enjoy what they get from this.

Good changes long time coming. Although a lot of comments in here are just seemingly jealous type. This is a softcore emotional sex trade, sort of the female version of visiting prostitutes. But the emotional blackmail and manipulation and letting people run up huge imaginary debts that they have to work off, that's why you need regulations to things. That's the free market at work.
