It's a thread about Japan, so you should probably assume things might be NSFW.

Saw this today, and holy shit. A show where you try to karaoke while a hot girl jacks you off.


I think there might be a market in this country for a premium channel with original content that caters to adult audiences, but isn't a porn channel.

Japanese company gives non-smokers 6 additional vacation days to offset "smoke breaks".

As someone that has been on both sides of this, I kind of like this policy. I don't think it's completely fair because the smoker isn't leaving work, they're probably thinking about work, and if they're with co-workers they are probably talking about work.

However, I do think it's interesting and might be another motivator to get folks to quit smoking.

My biggest criticism would be that it's the wrong fix. Instead of additional vacation days, and this doesn't take into account motivating folks to quit smoking, they should have instead forced non-smokers to also get up and walk around 3-5 times a day. Considering we're now learning that sitting all day is like being a smoker, couldn't one argue that the smoker is actually getting the benefit of standing up and moving, while the non-smoker is just sitting there being all unhealthy?

I think if I worked somewhere that tried to force me to get up and walk around when they decide I need to, I might start smoking again.

When the majority decide your health care should be paid for by the public, suddenly everyone thinks they should have an opinion about how you live your life.

Eh, take away the word "force" and use something else instead. Whatever makes it less offensive for you. End of the day, sitting on your ass all day is apparently worse than smoking. Encouraging employees to stand up and walk around for a minute a few times a day isn't exactly the greatest evil to ever be seen in a work place.

This is just a display of your right wing insanity. I was told by Obama, the Dems, and the MSM that nobody would tell me how to live or try to change my lifestyle under government health care. Next thing you'll say is that death panels exist...

On a serious note, I have no idea how a logical person could look at governmental health care and not think they'd want to regulate behavior. It makes all the sense in the world financially. (Short term...maybe not long term)

I was a coffee drinker in the office. Coffee made me get up and walk around a few times every day. To get it and also to get rid of it.

Drunk driving marine kills Japanese man. I guess he's an "off duty dumb ass"?

All U.S. personnel are confined to base and alcohol is now banned.

They need Gordon's help, too.
The change was greater for men of the same age, with 25.8% virgins in 2015 up from 20% in 1992.

Then I'd say Japan has some hot prostitutes.
