With more tourists and visitors coming to Japan recently (and perhaps wanting to stay), it seems a bit odd that the Japanese government are looking for ways to tighten their grip on immigrants. Seems a bit foolish given that Japan is going to need to grow its tax base as the native population ages and decreases over the next decades. Then again, with 31% of the population thinking that increasing the amount of immigrants will lead to social instability of some kind, it looks a lot like pandering to the jingoists - or just business as usual in Japanese politics...

Also, if you were ever interested in how much punishment the human body can take, here's something that will answer a few questions for you.
