Do you want to swap some of those things?

Being some want us to do what other countries, do how about his?

Japan - some interesting facts.

* Hiroshima has returned to what it was economically before the atomic bomb was dropped.

* Japan prevents the use of mobile phones in trains, restaurants and indoors.

* For first to sixth primary year Japanese students must learn ethics in dealing with people.

* Even though one of the richest people in the world, the Japanese do not have servants. The parents are responsible for the house and children.

* There is no examination from the first to the third primary level because the goal of education is to instill concepts and character building.

* If you go to a buffet restaurant in Japan you will notice people only eat as much as they need without any waste because food must not be wasted.

* The rate of delayed trains in Japan is about 7 seconds per year!!
The Japanese appreciate the value of time and are very punctual to minutes and seconds.

* Children in schools brush their teeth (sterile) and clean their teeth after a meal at school, teaching them to maintain their health from an early age.

* Japanese students take half an hour to finish their meals to ensure proper digestion because these students are the future of Japan.

The Japanese focus on maintaining their culture.

Therefore,

* No political leader or a prime minister from an Islamic nation has visited Japan not the Ayatollah of Iran, the King of Saudi Arabia or even a Saudi Prince!

* Japan is a country keeping Islam at bay by putting strict restrictions
on Islam and ALL Muslims.

1) Japan is the only nation that does not give citizenship to Muslims.

2) In Japan permanent residency is not given to Muslims.

3) There is a strong ban on the propagation of Islam in Japan

4) In the University of Japan, Arabic or any Islamic language is not taught.

5) One cannot import a 'Koran' published in the Arabic language.

6) According to data published by the Japanese government, it has given temporary residency to only 2 lakhs, Muslims, who must follow the Japanese Law of the Land. These Muslims should speak Japanese and carry out their religious rituals in their homes.

7) Japan is the only country in the world that has a negligible number of embassies in Islamic countries.

8) Muslims residing in Japan are the employees of foreign companies.

9) Even today, visas are not granted to Muslim doctors, engineers or managers sent by foreign companies.

10) In the majority of companies it is stated in their regulations that no Muslims should apply for a job.

11) The Japanese government is of the opinion that Muslims are fundamentalist, and even in the era of globalization they are not willing to change their Muslim laws.

12) Muslims cannot even rent a house in Japan.

13) If anyone comes to know that his neighbor is a Muslim then the whole neighborhood stays alert.

14) No one can start an Islamic cell or Arabic 'Madrasa' in Japan .

15) There is no Sharia law in Japan
.
16) If a Japanese woman marries a Muslim, she is considered an outcast forever.

17) According to Mr. Kumiko Yagi, Professor of Arab/Islamic Studies at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies,
" There is a mind frame in Japan that Islam is a very narrow minded
religion and one should stay away from it."

The Japanese might have lost the war, but they are in charge of their own country.

There are no bombs going off in crowded business centers, "Honor Killings", nor killing of innocent children or anyone else.

Something to think about.
Pass this on to anyone and everyone.

Yep. The lunacy of the far-right = whine about all those (black) "welfare bums taking mah money!" and then refuse to buy meaningful health insurance and past the costs on to other people, thus taking MY money.

Right-wingers who refuse to buy health insurance to cover their health care expenses have no right to whine about "welfare bums" since they are "healthcare bums."

Japan also has no love of Christians, so quit pretending their culture is singularly maintained by keep "the dirty Muslims" out.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histor...hurch_in_Japan

Even without right-wing religious nuts (Christian, Muslim, etc.) they STILL are able to produce domestic terrorists.

So, let us stop pretending that xenophobia is the solution to all our problems.

The fact that anyone can walk into an Emergency Room and get treated negates the notion that health care is not a right.

If health care is not a right, then hospitals could refuse to treat those who show up without an insurance card in hand.

I'm pretty sure I remember being told something much the same when it became required to purchase insurance. "If you budget properly, it won't be a problem." Odd how now the left is whining about price increases. Didn't seem to matter when the rest of us were looking at 60% increases in premiums for insurance.

Three million fewer people have health coverage so far since Trump took office.

WRONG. What Trump and the GOP have done to Obamacare has resulted in millions losing health coverage. They own the mess they are creating. What is left is not what was originally passed and everyone knows that. Trump said on the campaign trail that he would give everyone health coverage - better coverage - and the government would pay for it. TRUMP LIED.
