passage of the Tokyo Youth Ordinance Bill

Chekhov or whoever would have a field day editing this if I gave my full thoughts but basically, this gets 5 Sonoko facepalms out of 5.  :(

Agreed. Even though I don't really read/watch anything that would fit under those terms, I still find it degrading that they think we can't handle something just because we're a few years younger than they are. -.-

Well, the primeminster is angry about it, so maybe the law will be vetoed. ;D (I hope so... I need my yaoi...)

They were starting that before it even passed. I don't think it will do any good. These politicians will just laugh at them as they inevitably give in...

Yeah, but...

.... I don't think they will laugh at the big man.(The Prime Minister)

@xcom: it does if you're a hardcore Hayate and ZKC fan and yaoi and hetalia fangirl like me. Or if you're xpon. xD

I might have to read those. I don't like yaoi though, yuri is a little better but I still prefer the boy x girl kind of thing.
