pretty sweet machine.... but eurofighter has an even sweeter AI system... hmmm yes Blackbird...very quick....but it drinks fuel like a russian drinks vodka... if it is flying with full thrust.....it needs to be refueled mid air...even before it has reached maximum alititude back to japans aging population.... yea the BBC source is a little vague there.... if you look at social security spending for example...its going up exponensially (almost) while at under 10 trillion yen in 1974 it went up to almost 90 trillion yen in 2005! and if you look at how much of that is pensions... then its well under 1tr yen in 74 and well over 50-60 trillion yen in 2005. infact total per capita spending on social security has gone up from about 80,000 yen in 74 to about 700,000 yen in 2005 also in 2020 its the year of the Fire Horse (again) so there will be a massive drop in birth rate that year. if you look at the actuall stats themselves.... then its quite clear that Unless Japan does something...its boned... numbers of under 14 yr olds have more than halved as a %age since the 50's over 75's has more than doubled men over 50 and women over 50 who have never married has doubled aswell even the economic studies published by Japans own GOV do not oaint a very rosy picture... |
off topic much, alpha duck?
teen pregnancy is pretty messed up where i live too i'm all for teens (older teens) having sex, as long as they're in a commited, loving relationship and USE PROTECTION i dont know where you guys got this info that birth control isnt compatible with alot of people. most teens dont have health problems bad enough to exempt them, and the gov. will usually subsidize part or all of the cost (at least here in the states) even if you cant take it, theres a plethora of other birth control out there at our fingertips! there is condoms (which dont break as often as you think), depo provera, the morning after pill, the ring, female condoms, IUD, spermacide, the list goes on and on. it is sad that so many teens get preggo, so much so that our school district put in a daycare at our high school. but i guess thats what you get with an oversexed media, and when your parents and society dont teach you actual morals, respect, and general decency, like people in japan do.:exballoon: |

I Think you guys are missing the point...
As i see it (i might be wrong as i've never had direct contact with it) the Japanese culture actually as less restrainer thought of sex it self. In the Occidental culture sex was (until not much time ago probably your grandparents age) seen as something bad or that should be hidden as it was not "pure". This way of thinking came all the way from the time Christianity spread to our lands. So only lately this has started to be discussed as part of life, and until now sex was made but it was a "sin". Our culture is now tasting the "forbidden" fruit and not trying to control as they "eat" it. Japan (for its location) didn't had this kind of influences, sex was never a "sin" or not part of their moral code for that they don't have this uncontrollable urge for it. Any way answering the off topics: England pensions for mother who stay in home just tanking care of their child is in my view a very bold and intelligent move by the government as in the long run they will if not fix reduce the problems with aged population. It as some backtracks in economy right now but will help allot latter. As for Japan yes they have the same aged population problem, but as happens with most of Europe it doesn't mean the country's economy will collapse. Even more because of all the multinational companies they have and will sustain the economy. Also your ignoring the fact that Japan had only to slightly open their borders to have 100000... Chinese, Indian or even Australians to work for them in the lowest positions as "cheap work labor". I can't see the Japanese economy crumbling as some of you want to make it look like. Also having the latest advancements in technology in war IS some thing important as it was proven in a battle by the us in the mid east where they lost only a couple of tanks and destroyed over 100 from the enemy. (numbers might be wrong but it was a insignificant lost for the us over the other country's lost) Thank you for reading. p.s.: You may flame me now if you wish i don't really care. |

I too find the "teenagers are unable to be good parents" bit a little silly.
I`m not a teenage mother, but can say I pretty much completely raised my brother from birth to 5, while looking after (again, alone) my sister from 5 to 10. It wasn`t a matter of "helping" either - it was a matter of my mother not being at home (out "partying"), so I had to pretty much quit school in order to take care of them. Maturity depends upon the person, not age. Age only gives you an advantage - nothing else. I`d say that at 15, I was significantly more mature than my mother at 35... And there is absolutely no doubt to it at all now, as she`s freaking crying and trying to kill herself with a broken coffee cup if her boyfriend gets mad at her for cheating on him. The most immature part of the whole equation is getting pregnant in the first place if you don`t have the ability to deal with the result. |
