A Culture of Bullying

Reported bullying cases hit record high in MOJ human rights report

The following report is fully consistent with the assertions made in this blog!

(Mainichi Japan) March 29, 2008. The number of reported bullying incidents in Japan surged to a record level in 2007, according to a Ministry of Justice (MOJ) report on human rights violations.

Of the 21,506 human rights violations fielded by legal affairs bureaus and other bodies across the nation, 2,152 were related to school bullying, far surpassing the 973 incidents reported the previous year, a previous record figure.

The Ministry of Justice’s human rights bureau said that the increase in reported bullying incidents was a result of efforts to assess the extent of bullying, including the creation of a toll-free hotline for child victims of human rights abuse in February 2007.

Also on the rise were online privacy violations and defamation, with 418 incidents reported, a 48.2 percent increase compared with the previous year. A total of 600 child abuse cases were reported - a 12.4 percent increase. Source: Mainichi Japan

Failing to Prevent Premeditated Murder

The speed record on Gacuette’s road was broken once again. A subsonic septic tank was clocked doing 204 km/hr (average speed) on a stretch of the road that runs straight for about 280 meters. The speed limit on the road is 40km per hour.

The road is used by several thousand students, aged 7-18, who walk or bike to the three schools in the area every day. Local police is aware of the problem but has taken no action to stop the violations. Statistically, it’s only a matter of time before a fatal accident occurs (if in fact it hasn’t already), in which case the police would be criminally negligent, indeed complicit, for failing to prevent premeditated murder.

At 100km per hour, the field of vision of the motorist is 67 percent less than at 50km per hour, and they are more likely to collide with pedestrians. The probability of pedestrian being killed in a 50km per hour collision is about 40 percent. At 70km per hour the probability shoots to 83 percent. The probability of a pedestrian being killed when a vehicle is traveling at 83 km per hour is 100 percent.

The motorists who drive their vehicles at 200km per hour on a 40km per hour speed zone are psychopathic killers about to commit premeditated murder. They ought to be put in chains and kept permanently behind locked doors to protect the public.
