I lived in Japan for a long time. The hardest thing I had to explain to some of my Japanese friends is why Americans love a show like "South Park" which does nothing but make fun of shit like 9/11, etc.
Just doesn't register with the Japanese.

The other part of the equation is that American humor absolutely loves to target specific people for humiliation and ridicule - and the more powerful, the better. South Park does that like every other episode.
The Japanese are definitely not on the same page on that idea.

She's published fewer papers than any *adjunct* professor in the Ivies, and now it turns out that she appears to have plagiarized much of her already shockingly low output.

The Japanese are even more famous for taking extraordinary pains to try and avoid causing anyone (especially themselves) any personal embrassment whatsoever.
Understanding that is any expat's first duty when coming to Japan. Avoid it at all costs.

It makes more sense once you realize how many times Palestinian "leadership" (PLO and other terror groups) have been invited to set up shop in nominally sympathetic Arab League nations, and then kicked out of and permanently uninvited from because of their behavior.

And under a socialist government, you get none of those things: you get escalating production quotas, low quality centrally planned goods, and constant shortages even of those. But at least they get rid of the "problem" of income inequality, because everyone's equally miserable.

This is not breaking my heart in the slightest.

The political contract that was struck with moderates and even Republicans in the early days of the gay marriage debate hinged on "live and let live".
Many straights in that alliance have since come to feel betrayed: they upheld their part of the bargain, the activists did not.

I've been following Joe Biden in politics for over 40 years, when he decided to (perpetually, it seems) run for president.
This isn't his "speech impediment" - that doesn't suddenly reappear after decades. It's dementia. And if our press weren't so partisan, they'd talk about it

It didn't take that long or cost that much. You're only off by nine years and about fifteen billion dollars. And if you think it sucks now, it's because you never had to try and commute on what it replaced, which sucked far, far worse.

Bullets don't magically hit their intended targets when you pull the trigger on the gun.
One of the worst aspects of urban gun violence in America is that we have so much bloodshed precisely because most criminals can't hit their target fifteen feet away, and kill innocents.
