Waseda University issues student guide to avoiding labor exploitation
TOKYO —
Tokyo’s Waseda University has given its 9,500 newly enrolled students a guide to avoiding labor exploitation in part-time jobs as companies burdening young employees with excessive workloads are increasingly drawing attention in Japan.
The 48-page guide, compiled by the university’s staff and law students and supervised by its law professors, lists 17 characteristics of abusive practices in jobs provided by “black” companies, such as refusing to give consideration to work hour requests and slapping fines on workers for making mistakes or taking days off.
It also gives advice on how to deal with such problems, explains legal protections, and gives examples of actual cases in which students experienced labor exploitation.
The guide will also be available for anyone outside the university for 500 yen, excluding the consumption tax.

The ‘Regret Equals Rape’ Factor (Also, USC Is Decadent and Depraved)
The ‘Regret Equals Rape’ Factor (Also, USC Is Decadent and Depraved)
Everybody remembers the notorious case of John Doe v. Washington and Lee University, in which a university official reportedly told students that “regret equals rape,” advice that John Doe blamed for a false accusation of sexual assault against him by an ex-girlfriend. Washington and Lee settled that lawsuit in February, avoiding a court trial that might have have exposed the elite private university (annual tuition $46,417) to disastrous publicity. This “regret equals rape” motif has appeared in several other cases among the more than 100 lawsuits filed against universities by male students who say they were falsely accused of sexual misconduct and denied due process in the campus kangaroo court system. What happens, in some of these cases, is that what seemed an entirely consensual encounter is subsequently deemed sexual assault, usually months later, after the accuser has regret or remorse about a hook-up or a relationship. Consider this, from a court filing involving a John Doe lawsuit against the University of Southern California:
Jane, who was a student and athlete at USC, and a group of her friends attended a fraternity party in January 2013 at a large, off-campus house in the hills near Los Angeles. Jane and her friends caught a bus from the fraternity house to the party location. John, a member of the USC football team, was on the same bus. Also attending the party were two male students from an out-of-state university, “Student 1” and “Student 2,” who were friends of John?s teammate. At some point in the evening Jane began to dance, and John began dancing with her. John said that he and Student 1 were both dancing with Jane, “sandwiching” her between them. When asked about this, Jane did not remember whether it had occurred. After dancing together for a few minutes, John pushed Jane onto a couch and gave her a provocative “lap dance,” which John characterized as “flirtatious” and “silly,” and Jane characterized as somewhat “uncomfortable” because people were watching. After the dance, John, Jane, and Student 1 went to a bedroom together. John had vaginal intercourse with Jane while Jane performed oral sex on Student 1. During the sexual activity, John and Student 1 made comments to each other about Jane?s body. All parties agree that the entirety of this encounter was consensual. Jane returned to her group of friends and told them she had sex with John; she seemed happy and excited about it. Approximately 45 minutes later, Jane and John returned to the bedroom a second time. There were multiple men in the room, and people were continually entering and exiting the room.. . .
It was during this second trip to the bedroom that the incident occurred which “Jane” later claimed was assault. Everybody involved was apparently drunk and, pardon me for drawing any unfair conclusions here, but once she had willingly done a three-way (“the entirety of this encounter was consensual”) during this party, what might a reasonable person suppose the expectations were for this second trip to the bedroom? How about “anything goes”? Call me old-fashioned, maybe, but I have no idea what the prevailing customs and norms are for drunken college orgies nowadays. Really, when you’re partying with football players and frat boys at USC (annual tuition $50,210), what are thereasonable expectations concerning acts of sexual perversion?
Well, John Doe got expelled for his role in this orgy, not because the university has any moral standards — USC Is Decadent and Depraved — but because “Jane” got counseling and decided she was a victim:
The incident happened in January 2013. Jane reported it to SJACS in August 2013. She told SJACS representatives that in mid-February her athletic coach suggested that she had confidence issues, and therefore recommended that she see an athletics counselor. When the counselor asked Jane if she had ever been sexually assaulted, “it dawned on me and I connected it.” She then reported to the counselor that she was assaulted by John and several other men at the party. She told her parents about the incident in July of that year, and reported the incident to the school in August.
The rest of the story is merely details, unless you happen to care about the fate of John, who is just another guy who got chewed up by the campus machinery where male students are denied due-process rights.
What conclusions can we draw from this case? It seems obvious that every student at USC is a dangerous pervert. This is why parents pay $50,210 a year, so that their sons and daughters can have drunken orgies at a “prestigious” private university that has no moral standards whatsoever.
Students at USC are freaks and creeps and degenerates of every description. No conscientious parent would spend a cent to send their child to such a wretched hive of scum and villainy as USC, and therefore the only students who enroll there are the offspring of negligent parents who don’t mind squandering $50,210 a year to have their child “educated” in that foul cesspool of immoral hedonism.

Independence not needed to defend HK interests: CY
http://news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/component/k2/1252563-20160405.htm
The Chief Executive, CY Leung, said the public need not raise the idea of independence to safeguard the city’s interests.
Speaking ahead of the weekly Executive Council meeting, Leung said his administration has always adopted policies that give priority to Hong Kong people.
He recalled the limit imposed on milk powder carried by outbound travellers as an example of a decision that is made to protect local interests.
Meanwhile, the Chief Executive also expressed concern over a conflict-of-interest accusation against Betty Fung, the Permanent Secretary for Home Affairs.
Fung has earlier dismissed allegations of conflict of interest in a flats-swap deal she made with a company owned by a sister-in-law of Macau casino magnate Stanley Ho two years ago.
But Leung stressed the incident will be taken seriously and handled fairly.
The League of Social Democrats filed a report to the ICAC last week, calling on the anti-graft watchdog to look into the case.
Black Lives Matter Toronto co-founder tweets about killing “men and white folks”
Black lives matter … but the lives of “men and white folks” do not?
That apparently is the message Black Lives Matter Toronto co-founder Yusra Khogali was trying to convey when she posted a controversial tweet on Feb. 9 that surfaced Tuesday morning.
In the tweet, Khogali asks Allah for strength “to not cuss/kill these men and white folks out here today.”
Khogali is a community organizer, activist and spoken word poet who “who uses her art as a form of resistance to challenge various forms of Canadian state-sanctioned anti-blackness,” according to her Facebook page.
Newstalk1010 radio host and Toronto Sun columnist Jerry Agar unearthed the tweet Tuesday morning, after which the tweet was removed from Khogali’s feed.
On Feb. 10 it was announced that Black Lives Matter would lead next summer’s Pride parade.
Anti Shariah protesters call Mccallum “Mcfool” for his “dangerous” immigration policy
http://en.cijnews.com/?p=31826
Six women, members of a group called “Suffragettes Against Sharia – SAS Canada”, demonstrated on April 1, 2016 in Markham, ON women’s outside the constituency office of MP John McCallum, the federal Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, protesting the immigration policy which welcomes ten of thousands of Syrian refugees to become Canadians in a relatively a short period of time.
The protesters warned of the long term affects on the next generation of the government’s rush to resettle tens of thousands of Syrian refugees of whom the grave majority are Muslims. Islam, the women argued, is incompatible with the Western values and legalizes the oppression of women, including by wife beating and marital rape.
They called on the federal government to stop the “invasion” of the Syrian refugees and alternatively to offer help and support to the Yazidis who are “the truly oppressed” and “not the economic invading migrants.”
“You treasonist Liberal MC Fools. Suffragettes nor Patriots will suffer Mcfools gladly,” they posted on their Facebook page and called on Mccallum to resign. To watch the protest’s videos click here and here.
On February 27, 2016 a group of Ottawa women protested the Hijab Day event at the City Hall equipped with signs which read: “Hijabs, niqabs cause separation and isolation”, “Hijab literally means “barrier”, “Yes to equality, No to barriers.” The protesters rallied in solidarity with Canadian Muslim women who were murdered for embracing Canadian values.
Wheaties to feature homosexual athlete who spread AIDS blood
http://newsmachete.com/?news=1590
Wheaties is putting Olympic diver Greg Louganis on the cover of its cereal boxes.
Louganis is famous for
1) Being an Olympic diver
2) Being a homosexual
3) Having AIDS
4) Getting his blood in a swimming pool while he had AIDS, and not telling anyone about it.
That makes him a hero worth putting on cereal boxes, right?
In his autobiography the next year, he revealed that he had tested positive for H.I.V. before the 1988 Summer Games. Out of fear, Louganis did not tell the doctor about his condition after he bloodied his head on the springboard during the Games.
This makes him a hero.
