      Indeed. I have a good deal of contacts in our Asian community and have been shocked more than once just how much hatred there is for each other between Japanese, Chinese and Koreans.

      And then there was the Olympics in Beijing a few years ago where the police placed all African exchange students and residents in lockdown during it because "everyone knows" they're all thieves and crooks and the government didn't want them spoiling the show.

      I'm always still in trouble again

        Yes. Much as I like Japan, the people, and the culture - the racist element is often readily apparent.

        Oddly - more evident between the groups when both are not in their homelands. It is cause for more than a little head-scratching.

          I just cannot get over HA's idiotic comment about women taking time off work for hot flashes.

          Because, firstly, you cannot predict when a hot flash will occur. So, do you ask for a whole, sometimes, decade off work? Because I had hot flashes for just about that long.

          And, do women take time off every month when they have their period? Maybe a day during if they have real issues with pain or heavy flow, but to book off 4-7 days every month due to menses would be just as stupid as taking time off for hot flashes.

          I begin to think that HA is not really a woman, but a man living in his mom's garage who wants a boyfriend really badly. And no man wants him, so he hates men. And pretends he knows what it’s like to be a real woman.

            BTW - whether it is "hot flushes" or "hot flashes" is a matter of geography.

              To clarify, I believe she wasn't talking about "time off" so much as "take a break," as her exact words were "time out from the work place." Though, I may be being more charitable than she deserves.

                        By time out I was referring to half an hour or so to cool down or dry out - some women end up dripping with sweat.

                        You are, I suppose also a woman of mature years, so you will have some idea of what it is like unless you opted for HRT.

                        You might also know of women who have really serious dysmenorrhea.

                        However, I do not see campaigners outside pharmacists calling for for free sanitary protection for women.
