    I just read Tokyo Vice. Good book. Had a big part about Kabukicho, the sex district in Tokyo. lots of... unsettling stuff there. Apparently japanese do not understand why Americans are not fascinated by tentacle porn. It just completely befuddled them.

    the Japanese "porn-laws" are crazy. They can show pretty much anything they want in public, as long as the actual sex organs are censored.

    there's a part in the book where the author gets toured around the place by a cop, and they go to one of the resident bars. As they are talking, one of the waitresses comes up, greets them, gives them their menus, and then pops one of her breasts out and offers it to the cop. The cop begins suckling the breast, while still talking to the guy and ordering his drink. Apparently, this is normal conduct over there.

    Man I dunno, "Polish drug dealers convinced him he'd be a Chinese pop star" is not like, standard excuse fare. Even if its not true I should hardly call it predictable.

    I always wondered why, if you were smuggling drugs, you would choose to do it in a country with the death penalty for it or life imprisonment in a horrible foreign jail. It just seems stupid(er). I guess they get danger money for it or something.

    Or they're the type of people who agree to smuggle drugs in the first place ie: none too clever.

    But still, maybe start with some places with super lenient drug trafficking sentences and work your way up to the death penalty countries when you have the hang of it or something.

    the reason this is a story isn't because he's a smuggler, it's because there is a fair amount of evidence that he's mentally ill and thus shouldn't be entirely held accountable for his actions

    executing mentally ill people is wrong and fucked up

    It's a good thing that doesn't happen in the United States! Those crazy Chinese...

    According to the Chinese Government, insufficient evidence was given that the man had any mental problems. I'm sure his family claim he does, they'd say anything to prevent him being executed. It's their job to prove it.

    From what I've read I think the feeling is that bringing heroin into the country is essentially killing the people end user of that supply, so you are a murderer for being a smuggler of dangerous goods. Not saying I agree, but I'm not in China.

    making a supply of drugs harder to get increases the likelihood of addicts who want that drug going to more lengths to get it

    this increases violent crime, probably deaths too

    like death penalty or life in jail in a few places
    i think marijuana is super illegal like heroin in japan
    like one japanese girl keeps saying that even if you have like a tiny little speck of weed stuck to your shoe and they find it you get thrown in jail for 20 years or somethin

    although i would not call that girl a reliable source of information
