bushpig 0 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 How's this headline? "Fearful of crime, Japanese parents opt for parks with security cameras and no-germ sand" And this bit from the article. "Mothers who arrive with strollers are asked to wipe the wheels with anti-bacterial soap. The park's big sand box uses sterilized sand." Only in Japan eh! Link to post Share on other sites

daver 0 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 why is that still publicly exceptable? Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 what, disenfected sandboxes? Hehe. I dunno about accpetable. Rather that people get away with it cos everyone turns a blind eye. Most people see it and say "ah gross", but that's about the extent of it. Link to post Share on other sites
daver 0 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 and isn't apathy acceptance? i once had to yell at a drunk jiji because he was about to piss in the middle of a bar. it was full of people and everyone else was content to let him do it and just pertend it wasn't happening. so in the end i looked bad in public for in all instensive purposes 'making a scene', but in doing so saved everyone else including the staff buy preventing them from looking like incapable fools.
