Just finished watching it.
The video was divided into many parts out of which I found the sumo wrestlers controversy very shocking, it was unfortunate that many of the murders which could have revealed the match-fixing were declared natural deaths by the Japanese police. It was very upsetting to see a young sumo tortured to death just because he had decided to quit sumo-wrestling.

I found the co-relation between abortion laws and crime rate very intriguing.

Towards the fag end the documentary turned boring(specially where teenagers with low grades were being given incentives to score better).

Btw why did the documentary sound so funny??? (merely because they wanted to show the hidden side of everything??? )

how long does it take to convert aira-ghaira into enlightened people?

 

[jamahir]

how long does it take to convert aira-ghaira into enlightened people?

one cannot really put a number to this, yes ??

i saw the second vid... it reminded me of the "representative democracy" system where unenlightened people use frivolous or transitory reasons to become a voting mass and elect a certain group into a country's government... in most cases, the problems remain.
