That doesn't logically follow. Just because influence of country A results in some situation in country B doesn't mean that the same situation is present in country A.

Which I'm not disagreeing...
Money, but not at all plain and simple. Why is 30 quid for a few accessories so important and why is the means to get it so unimportant? Those are questions of relative values - and not the literal...
As it happens there have been a lot of crack-downs on brothels and clubs recently - with the usual efforts to find loop-holes and get round the regulations. For example - your club can't stay open...
As far as prostitution goes it isn't so much happens vs doesn't happen as is visible vs isn't visible.
Which is better? A country with hidden prostitution or one with open prostitution?
In my...
I don't actually mind much about which figure is above the other - per capita or otherwise - it's just my reflex reaction to something seeming to be a big Japanese problem as opposed to just a big...
If they work a bit harder at it they might catch up with America

That's the fatal flaw in your tactics - discussing it with Japanese. What would they know? :p
And also in minor cases. (Some already are, but actually I'm very hazy on the details). :relief:
I think it's "Innocent until locked up, sleep deprived and 'fallen down stairs' into signing a...
I find it interesting that in the UK shortening trials, stopping them from dragging on, is often used as a reason for more trials without Juries. :relief:
"The how many (white/gaijin) patients do you have?" bit is all very well in theory but isn't it likely that they just find foreign names are just harder to remember?
I know that when I'm playing...
But if you look at the definitions of argument you will see (among others).
A course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating truth or falsehood: presented a careful argument for extraterrestrial life....
It just happens that in English 'grounds for an argument' means the same as one of the meanings of 'argument' in English.
But “ñ‚–ڂ̘_‹’ IS "The second grounds for your (argument/position)".
Hmm, how about ˜_‹’. (Stuck 'arguments' into WWWJDIC examples search :blush: )
Well the 'fair trade folks' appear to be a governmental organisation. Possibly it just means that they went in /with/ some police officers who did have a search warrant and could confiscate and...
Er, no. Y2K was quite real - just massively over estimated in effect. And for ever one of the odd few Y2K glitches that actually came about there were others that were fixed in advance. (Not...
Hah. I was obviously still editing when you posted that :-P
Try looking up a bit ;-)
無職 mushoku is used all the time on the news when somebody unemployed is arrested for some crime. 'Such-and-such a guy, 37, mushoku (unemployed), was arrested for ...' type of thing.
Of course...
Had features in society ...
Well that's an exaggeration but life-long employment is on a one-way track down.
The corresponding Japanese word is 無職 mushoku which actually means "no employment".
Yeah, and there are lots of different definitions of 'dumbass'.
Of course I generalise. That's the only way to compare the general tendency present in a cultural group. [/QUOTE]
There's generalising, and there's generalising way too much.
Actually I don't...
By the way, the usual kanji would be 来日 (來日 is an older version).
I heard that excessive self-linking can lead to blindness - metaphorical anyway.
I'd be one of the first to admit that Japan has problems in that area but it's far from the only or even the worst...
I don't know. I wouldn't put it past the UK, Australian or USA government. Is Japan that much better?
Sounds like petty criminal hand book for amateur yakuza, doesn't it ?[/QUOTE]
That bit sounds like a manual for how to get your knees capped.
I say it's dangerous in the present US culture, and much the same for Japan. A significant number of US states* teach abstinence before marriage pretty much instead of sex education. By all means...
