  3. RE: famichiki.jp/@unseenjapan/1162

    “Over the past 20 years… the raw number of criminal incidents involving foreigners has dropped by approximately 40 percent. Over the same period, the total foreign population in Japan nearly doubled, from 2.01 million to 3.95 million. This means that the current crime rate among foreigners is a quarter of its 20-year peak.”

  6. A quotation from Shakespeare

    SIR THOMAS MORE:                     Say now the king
       (As he is clement, if th’ offender mourn)
       Should so much come to short of your great trespass
       As but to banish you, whether would you go?
       What country, by the nature of your error,
       Should give you harbor? Go you to France or Flanders,
       To any German province, to Spain or Portugal,
       Nay, any where that not adheres to England, —
       Why, you must needs be strangers. Would you be pleased
       To find a nation of such barbarous temper,
       That, breaking out in hideous violence,
       Would not afford you an abode on earth,
       Whet their detested knives against your throats,
       Spurn you like dogs, and like as if that God
       Owed not nor made not you, nor that the claimants
       Were not all appropriate to your comforts,
       But chartered unto them, what would you think
       To be thus used? This is the strangers’ case;
       And this your mountanish inhumanity.

    William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
    Sir Thomas More, Act 2, sc. 4, l. 105ff (c. 1592)

  16. #Music #RockAndRoll

    I turned in late to the 2024 #RockAndRollHallOfFame (R&RHOF) awards show yesterday but watched most of it recorded on my #DVR.

    Really enjoyed the sets of #KoolAndtheGang & #DionneWarwick, #Foreigner, #Frampton & #OzzieOzborne.

    I know he has a large fan base & I like some of his songs but I didn't think #Buffet deserved the award.

    I've never been a #DaveMatthews fan -- even less so after I heard him & his band play -- & I question why they got the award too. 🤷‍♂️

    Liked how #Dionne said it was the 3rd time she was nominated & was about to tell them to "take their award & shove it" but was happy that they finally got it "right." For real . . . 👏

    Listening to Dionne on CD now. 🤗

    Seems like the R&RHOF pretty much admits anybody & everybody who ever had a hit record into the hall -- except Dionne until now.

    WTF??? 🤔

    Anyway, I've been to Cooperstown but never to the R&RHOF in Cleveland and, given where it's located, I doubt I ever will . . .

    but the music will always live on. 🙂

  17. After now also having the experience of a #foreigner from the point of view of being one I hope wasn't so hard on them when I was on the other side. It just sucks to interact with #socialservices, them not being able or wanting to see when something is #racially colored. I think I understand some situations better now, I see things which I didn't before. I regret having a child in #Finland as a #foreigner, without enough money. It wasn't responsible to him, not like this.
