Japan is only G7 country that has not legalized same sex unions. In runup to Hiroshima summit, lawmakers are trying to pass LGBTQ rights bill. Opposition has come from under the radar source: a political association of Shinto, Japan’s indigenous religionhttps://t.co/uKvMJPJuc7
The main reason for expatriation is financial: salaries have stagnated in Japan since the 1990s due to the accelerated development of precarious jobs after the bursting of the speculative bubble in the late 1980s. The significant depreciation of the yen in 2022 compared to the euro or the dollar has only worsened a certain sense of decline in the world’s third-largest economy, where incomes converted to dollars are now lower than those inSouth Korea, Italy, and France.

With Zelensky in Heroshima and Japan exhibiting regressive policy on homosexuals, it is time to solve a couple of problems all at once.
Lead by example to show Japan the better path forward by making the next aid package to Ukraine be something more than just weapons and training, that are clearly ineffective.
Aid to Ukraine should be the true military strengths of racial and cultural diversity, women superiority, homosexual appreciation, tranny acceptance, and all the other force multipliers we so often hear about.
Japan would be educated, Ukraine would drive out the Russians, and the American diversity hire generals would prove learning how slaves built America or a lesbian woman of color did something-or-other is far better training than shooting guns or driving tanks.

Anyone who thinks the NY Times gives a flying catamite tossed from an Argentinian chopper about Japan should read what they wrote about Japan in the 1940s…
Setnaffa, the time frames are variable, but the labels and values of the past evolve beyond the present.
The NYT of 1945 and now are not the same.
The Reagan and Romney Republicans have no relationship.
The Democrats which once supported slavery by force only do so now by administrative means.
I have no loyalty to any party or ideology beyond its immediate value to myself and society, which has a large effect on my wellbeing.
In the end, it appears this is all meaningless anyway.
As the Trump/Russia report has shown, the Republicans and Democrats, conservatives and liberals, the media and corporations, and the Administrative State are only there to do the bidding of the Deep State.
And despite the report confirming all of the horrible stuff people speculated about the evils of the American government, it is being rubbed in our faces becasue nobody will be held accountable for illegal, unconstitutional, and unethical acts against America and its citizens.
The whole thing is heartbreaking.
But the most heartbreaking thing is that Americans will allow it.
They don’t deserve prosparity and freedom.

Don’t worry, CH. We’ll either fix it or not. But the dream will end fairly soon anyway.
A time is coming where to buy or sell one must have “the mark”. The whole world will be under the sway of a single “man”, the Son of Perdition.
Ezekiel and Revelation might be good texts to study before that time. There has been some debate about whether the Church (i.e., Christians) will be taken out of the world by God before that time; but that’s His choice, not ours.
Meamwhile, have a pleasant week!

The end has been nigh for about 2000 years.
And it is not coming soon, if you believe Revelations is telling the truth.
Revelations only works if everyone has the Mark of the Beast, there is a single ruler, and other conditions.
And lots of the New World Order crowd is trying.
But we only see this from our cicgender white male perspective.
If God or Devil cares about Africans, which leads to difficult questions if they don’t… Africans are not much closer to getting organized under a single ruler or having an economic system where beastly marks can even get a foothold…
…than they were… well… when Revelations was written.
And by the time any of the beasts start handing out marks, humans will be a spacefaring species… always one step ahead.
Checkmate, Beast(s).

CH, it won’t be a tattoo, a credit card, or even a favorite movie. It’s a mindset.
It mentions the mark as being on the forehead (thoughts) and the right arm (actions).
And as we’ve seen, most of our fellow-travelers are most of the way there.
Even many who label themselves with popular religious phrases.
Each of us has a separate, so far, experiration date. We cannot save ourselves. And the wages we earn by trying equal an all-eternity trip to burning in hell.
We should quit before payday.

Setnaffa, you are likely right.
The Mark of the Beast, be it 666 or 616 or whatever (I was surprised to learn there is much scholarly debate on what that number actually is) may well be a mindset more than something physical.
And if you read Revelations through the eyes of someone who mistook today’s technology for magic, you can come up with all sorts of interesting theories.
However, if you look at it from a political and social standpoint, it seems pretty clear that large sections of the global population simply can not meet the stated conditions required for it all to kick off.
And it doesn’t look like it is going to happen any time soon.
With this in mind, I am not feeling any alarm or urgency over disruption of a divine nature.
I do worry about men…
…who certainly seem interested in bringing about all the bad parts of Revelations.
But I suspect this has less to do with anything the Bible predicts and more to do with what the Bible explains about the nature of selfish people.

CCP: “What? Not up to date with your mRNA shots? Sorry, your QR code says you cannot ride the bus, hire a taxi, go to the store, …”
Happened all over the world, too. And many countries, like Australia, put those dangerous, unvaccinated people into concentration camps.
When the time comes, most folks will just go along with the Mark. No sense getting beaten or killed.
The same as regular Germans who signed and swore a loyalty oath to the Austrian Corporal rather than be carted off somewhere.
And yes, they will reach everyone. Don’t doubt it. The Chinese “Belt and Road” is already from Africa to Guadalcanal… Why?

Setnaffa, your idea is absolutely correct.
Our only difference is the timeframe and extent.
My theory on the matter, and it is only a theory, is that Revelations only works if it applies to all of mankind.
I base this idea on God not discriminating based on race or nationality. The rules apply to all men equally, or much of the Bible is invalid.
With that in mind, I can’t see an immediate future where the tribesmen of Paupa New Guinea, or the primatives deep in the Amazon, or those still refusing outside contact off the coast of India, will even grasp the existence of a one-world ruler or require any kind of mark to engage in barter.
I can see this happening in the future… but not at a timescale that affects me.

Well, I understand the technology and/or ruthlessness may not be there yet; but are you prepared for an unexpected expiration of your earthsuit?
We aren’t getting any younger and while the “eschatology” of the “Rapture” and the “Tribulation” are fascinating topics to discuss, we might not all survive to see them.
And we see sudden deaths around us quite frequently these days. Those COVID-19 vaccines are pretty devastating to our young and old.
Car accidents, fast-moving cancers, urban unrest, and the old-fashioned lunatic with something sharp are far too common things, even in our modern 21st Century.
And both rich and poor have the same end results when tbeir number is called.
Not pushing, really. Just hoping we’ll meet “over there”.
Hey Gay People! Japan just isn’t that into you…
You should try Saudi Arabia!
More and more Japanese, tired of low wages and antiquated norms want to leave Japan
