[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Japan is way, way too conservative for most Americans. The people who say things like "they are safer and take better care of their people" would probably not tolerate living in an actual society like Japan. [/quote]

Absolutely true. My sister lives there and was forced out of her job at 6 months pregnant because her boss said it was shameful for her to be working in her condition. (This was only 5 years ago.) Her husband, on the other hand, got a fat raise on the birth of his child because he would need the extra money. Is DCUM really ok with women being fired for pregnancy and male coworkers getting unmerited raises because their wives had babies? Is DCUM really ok with no ADHD meds or in-school help for their SN kids, just segregated schools? Is DCUM ok with their kids having to clean their school and mothers (only mothers, because none of them work) being de facto forced into volunteer work there? Draconian drug policies? [/quote]

LOL but I'm asking if DCUM is ok with it. The point is that a clean well-run society like Japan necessarily has standards and shaming. No "do whatever as long as it doesn't hurt me." In Japan the police can search your person for no other reason than "something was just stolen in this area." And you better believe they engage in profiling.
[b]The doctor providing the "Free" healthcare will scold you severely if you are even approaching overweight. You all cool with that?[/b][/quote]

So.. you want doctors to approach an overweight person and say everything is fine and you're perfectly healthy- please go on with your current lifestyle! (?)

Also lol at spouting off nonsense in your first post about none of the mothers working- currently the rate is over 75%.

[i]The proportion of working mothers in child-rearing households exceeded 75% for the first time in 2021, according to a Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry survey.[/i]

And where on earth did you get the idea that there's no medication for kids with ADHD?? From thin air?
My friend is a psychiatrist in Japan and they absolutely prescribe medication for ADHD.

Just have to chuckle at some of the absurd ideas some have without direct knowledge... [/quote]
