“There are growing expectations for women to play a greater role in politics,” said parliamentarian Chinami Nishimura, 

But there are not growing expectations for, for example, the construction industry.....

Why might that be? Arent we being told that we can all do the same jobs? Or is there only one particular type of job coveted...

A crime is a crime. He should face the same penalty as anyone getting caught stealing a saw.

Lock him up.

at 79, he would need assessment to find out if he is still compos mentis.

And we are not robots. Same RULES apply, but the penalty etc needs more nuance than that. Or you could also look at it this way, to a 79 year old a 1y custodial sentence, is not the same burden as to a 23yr old, or 33yr old etc.

poor fella....

I kinda understand... those circular saws are nice.

Its always been like this

Not really no.

How last September was indeed a record high, at least for the 100 yrs or so of these records.

This case is truly heartbreaking...... although no mal intent perse, there needs to be accountability, even if only to serve as a reminder to other childcare services of the potenitally lethal consequences of inadequate concentration on the job.

I would imagine most nursing home owners have much more than 10m yen in assets. Going bankrupt means workers and creditors going unpaid, and should not be an easy way of not paying people.

Yes something doesnt add up.... this is the one sector that you would think should be doing well, considering the demographic shift and where most of the county's savings are locked up........ perhaps owners obfuscating cashflows then going "bankrupt"....

My points were back,gov have paid for court fees and did not pay any penalty.Police boss came to house say sorry.With weird face.USOKUSAI face.

It was some 5yrs ago who knows abt situation now.

This makes me feel a greater urgency to get my drivecam installed...

A true hero. RIP, and condolences to her family.

Lost for words..

In order to "build up" the next generation, we need to focus more on having the next generation and family friendly policies.

only 6yrs plus later than competitors.

Their rating syst is a joke as well.

That is fine, are they going to start enforcing men to pay their child support arrears.

If they have access to the children then there should be enforcement. If not.... what is the man paying for?

Quo Primum hit the nail on the head.

Open season on men.

is this an article from the mid 90s?

Seriously what took them this long...

With this twisted logic, they can "solve" the matter in an absolutely brilliant way - free for some and a current fee for others... Makes sense, ey?

they have no prob checking age related discounts and disabilites, which require some form of proof. Proving residency is not so onerous.

Why should I have to provide an ID? It is illegal to even ask. Just like staying in a hotel

No its not. If you want the resident discount, prove you are a resident. Otherwise they will happily take the non discounted fare from you.

To yall grumbling about "Racism" - you have proof of residency for a discount, so use it. Problem solved.

Also as someone who lives in a tourist area, I really do not mind higher prices for tourists. If the same income can be achieved with less tourists, then why not? I get the feeling that most grumbling about this, dont live in tourist hotspots.

Call me crazy, but I'd rather not supportva candidate who is backed by people who are paid to be concussed. Somehow, I don't think they're very knowledgeable on politics.

overlooking the disrespect for the level of training and discipline required for professional level MMA, why would you assume they are any less knowledgeable than the millionaire narcists of hollywood ?

“You are gangsters!” De Niro, who starred in “Goodfellas” and won an Oscar for “The Godfather Part II," shouted at the Trump backers, who responded with obscenities.

you mean DeNiro, who is famous for shouting four letter expletives against "trump" on stage? Perhaps a little bias is showing?

During the Enoch Powell I was an adult and lived in the UK during the period.

Then you have no excuse for not understand or willfully misrepresenting it.

"he believed in it" - he believed in a metaphor? You are just desperate to tie him into the "blood" part of the metaphor to feign fear of violence etc.

"White" is meaningless.

England/Wales is 74% "British". You can add in Scotland and Northern Ireland to give you slightly more favourable numbers, but that is only a temporary situation.

And the point is not ethnic change, its cultural change. Cultural change on an unprecedented scale. We already had enough crime and poverty, no need to open the door to more.

The whole point of the river Tiber omen was that it represented civil unrest and wars - and that seems to be where we are headed.

Look at the state or Ireland now, they illegals are getting in through the back door in the North, and I don't see them standing for it much longer.

Enoch Powell's "Rivers of Blood" failed to appear like a tale from the Bible.

You show a great misunderstanding if you took the meaning as expecting a river of blood to appear.

The whole point is that LIKE the rivers foaming with blood, the state of immigration was a bad omen.

So I think you will find that, he was right.

they also compete against humans

Thats a helluva insecurity when you are threatened by whales

So Ireland will recognise a state arbitrarily drawn up by the British.......... and yet still lay a claim to Northern Ireland ? hmmmmm

This is potentially very very dangerous to the loved ones remaining. As sad and heart-wrenching as the loss is, substitution with AI will create a mental dependency.... not good

Y'all ignoring the fact that tourism despite its monetary benefits, also has a social cost. The demand for tourism is extremely high - what is wrong with balancing that out with a different price for non-residents in the service industry?

f you want cheap labor to accept the minimum wage, you must accept the consequences.

Yup, pay peanuts.... thats what you get.

It is often ignored that there is an external social cost to having certain jobs at barely subsistence level incomes.

Also i dont imagine the 8% at most profit margin these scammers could make…… is going to amount to much overall.

Seeing as we dont really need to encourage more tourism - why dont we do away with the tax free scheme ? They will come anyway.

And one other guy also said “If you aint votin’ for me then you aint black”

…..

It doesnt glorify or romanticize the making and dropping of the bomb - quite the opposite.

What is there to grapple with?

Being in a new country can be stressful.

I hope that is sarcasm (sorry if it is...... these days it can be hard to tell)
