Whoa. How can they not get sued?

Japan is not a litigious society at all. To preserve harmony and save face, most disputes are either settled quietly, or the disputants are shamed into dropping the complaint, or an immense amount of social pressure falls on the plaintiff until they drop the case and move to another city in shame. Judges are likely to side with the status quo and encourage the preservation of society over the rights of the individual, and in most cases, the awards don't even cover court costs.

I was shown this link last night and asked if they sell insurance against this kind of thing in Japan (or Japanese Game Show Inshuransu). Now I have my answer!

Wuh? Do most japanese men sit down to pee?

I read a biography if an Italian American who moved to Japan after the war and basically became an independant mobster before settling down and running a pizzaria (the first one in japan). Anyway, he ended up suing three diffrent people. The only one that he won was against one of his ex wives, who he suied for cheating on him :P

That was absolutely insane.

I renew my pledge to never use a port-a-potty again.

omg, I laughed until I barked. My neighbors must think I'm nuts. It's after one in the morning and tears of laughter are rolling down my cheeks. God that was hilarious. I was also amazed at the guys sitting down to pee. Interesting shaped toilet.

I know that people in India and some other countries squat to pee and poo but never saw a male semi-squatter urinal before.

Thank you for the bellylaughing, much appreciated!
