Insurance is a crime

Insurance is THE biggest con in our society today, in no other business do you pay loads for a service or product you never actually get.
Insurance companies should return 90% of the money (if not more and in fact all!) to their customers that never claim.

I might start a revolution against insurance companies, they are disgusting.

Forced Education

I have children that come to my class and have done for several years for no other reason than they have no choice because their parents tell them.

These children are often not interested whatsoever in the lessons, they rarely try to engage and almost never put in any effort either in the classroom or at home. (homework etc)

All of the above doesn't bother me that much, what really pisses me off is when these children disrupt others who are having fun and do try their best and are improving each week.

Parents who send their children to school and cram schools and think that they are doing a good job are well wrong.
If the home is not a good environment to study in, a place where children are comfortable in doing their homework, revising or even pre-studying for an upcoming lesson then it doesn't make much difference what school or cram school you force your children to go to.

Children who see their parents come home and say "I'm tired" or "I can't be bothered to do.. (insert insanely easy task here)" will ultimately repeat these very words and aim the words at things in their own lives.

Don't make your children into the disruptive children of the classrooms, talk to them, do their homework together, make sure they aren't afraid to try, make mistakes!

However, don't bury your children under paper, make sure you have time to play at home, play sports and most importantly of all encourage them to create something, draw, paint, handicrafts anything!

China Vs. Japan

So there is all this anger and arguing over some islands that Japan currently owns and that China claims it should own.

I don't know if anyone has seen the demonstations on the news but they are happening in both countries, in Japan the demonstrations were peaceful, the people made their point about China trying to take Japanese land and then it finished, no riots, no destruction.

In China the demonstrations almost had no point, it seemed to be a outcry of racial hatred, the Chinese demonstrated because they hate the Japanese and nothing more.
They smashed Japanese restaurants and Japan branded stores such as Sony and Panasonic and even destroyed some guys (Chinese guy) car, rolling it over and smashing the windows.

Now at the end of all this and away from the actual point of the argument, who made themselves look like hate filled racists?

Its my opinion that those few Chinese people that rioted made the whole country look like a bunch of stupid, good for nothing racist scum bags, which Chinese people clearly ARE NOT at all.

Its a big shame that a few people can make a whole country look like shit.

An Introduction

Over the last few years I have started and stopped blogs a few times, mostly because I started a blog which has been so narrow in its subject that after a few posts there isn't much more to say.

In this blog I will write about pretty much anything, whatever is on my mind, whether that be religion, politics, music or gaming.

So to get off to a good start let me introduce myself.

My name is Rob, I live in Nanao, which is in Ishikawa prefecture in Japan.

I have been teaching English at my school for over 5 years and I have to say despite wanting to scream in frustration on some days I honestly wouldn't want to do any other job.
