The police is too busy arresting people for naughty drawings and photos of naked people.

All right, Round 2!!

But seriously, I'm pretty sure it's a group of haters now. The lone guy just planted the seed. And seeing that there are no consequences, more people will jump on the Kuroko-hate aka fujoshi-hate bus.

If they ever find this loser they should throw him in jail and lock away the key as warning about what happen when you cross the line from loser otaku to crazy loser otaku.

so poison threats against thousands of civilians is a moot point compared to people drawing dirty doodles, nude photos, and piracy

Long story short, this guy is a nut. Here's a link you can read more about it, but I still think the "nut" description fits better Smile

Yep, and I recall on another thread that Japan doesn't seem to enforce traffic laws and road safety the same way they do to piracy, naughty doodles, and nude photos. 2 of ANN users (GokuMew2 and Enurtsol) that have lived in Japan have said on record Japan doesn't seem to take traffic law/road safety seriously:

I've been told that in Japan they require people to wear seat belts but from what I've seen, not everyone does. Traffic rules seem to be very loosely enforced over here. People run reds ALL the time. One time there were TWO police cars, one each on a different side of the intersection and they didn't do a thing when a couple cars ran a red. The car even turned into the lane adjacent to the police car.......... I think you can tell how annoyed I am by this. I bike across this intersection every day and there are always at least 2-4 cars who run the red. ALWAYS. My record is 6 cars. It's crazy!

And don't get me started with how drivers don't know how to react when an emergency vehicle needs to get by. It takes them at least half a minute to let the ambulance go. The first cars always ignore it. -_-


Quote:
I don't drive so I don't know the rules, but basically when you hear an ambulance coming, the cars are OMGOMGOMG and keep going on their merry way for like half a minute, then finally some people get the idea and try to get out of the way to let it pass. Ambulances in Japanese, btw, are VERY slow. They're not like in the U.S. where they're quickly trying to get where they're going. They politely ask over the loud speaker for people to please move.


Enurtsol gave me these interesting articles:

Japan Today-How much attention do you think drivers in Japan pay to child safety seats or making sure their kids wear seat belts when they are in cars?

Daddy-san (part 5): Car Safety – the state of child seat use in Japan

The article above, this part got my attention and pretty much shock me. Shocked

Quote:
Apparently there is a clause in the Japanese seatbelt laws that states that obese people are exempt from wearing a seatbelt and hence there is no need for such a seatbelt extension in Japan


Yeah well I guess Japan didn't read this article/study from the Huffington Post how car crash are deadlier in Obese people.

So yeah, Japan seem to be not taking some law seriously.

Oh god this again? My god!

I can add to traffic laws lol On my many visits.

On the whole seat belt thing, when in Japan my friend told me I didn't have to wear one when I was in the back seat. I knew someone who died not wearing one, so I wore mine needless to say.

As for road safety, there was a random check stop and my other friend's husband was part of it. He did not have his license. I was asked if I could drive the car. It was pitch black and up a mountain in Nagasaki. Needless to say I said hell no.
