Talk:Elections in Japan

message: Thank you for providing the results of recent elections in such a clean format... I wonder (and I could be mistaken) if there is not more to be said about how elections are handled in general? Take a look at the length and comprehensiveness of United States Electoral College; admittedly, much of that concerns the controversy over it. But nevertheless, Japan's had enough changes to its governmental structure, electoral districts, and presumably electoral procedures to warrant a much longer article. No?

thread_title: Assessment

message: I have heard a lot about how Japan has an ultra-low participation in elections (in the 30-40% range!), but I wanted to find some proof regarding this as I'm writing a little something in time for the 2009 election. Unfortunately, the Japanese wiki page for general elections nor this page have anything whatsoever written regarding participation %'ages. Presuming this is accurate (30-40% range), this would definitely be a noteworthy thing, I'd say. To compare, Sweden has a 80-90% participation rate.

replies: text: People confuse pedophilia with pederasty and child molestation all the time. They don't understand that in most Western countries, having a certain feeling or desire without any action in furtherance of that feeling or desire is not a crime because no illegal activity has taken place — free societies do not criminalize thoughts or desires, only illegal acts. But it's such a highly emotional topic that many people don't care and insist that all pedophiles must be imprisoned (or even executed) just for having the perverse desire. And then there is the additional problem of confusing actual pedophilia (unnatural sexual desire for prepubescent children) with desire for or sexual activity with an underage person who is nonetheless physically sexually mature. - Embram (talk) 00:14, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  A continuum (quantity) 

message: The opening paragraph states that
There is a continuum of non-diffeomorphic differentiable structures of R4. 
In fact, I've usually heard the statement expressed as "There is an R2 of mutually non-diffeomorphic differentiable structures on R4."
What I'd like to know is whether this continuum of mutually non-diffeomorphic differentiable structures is a continuous continuum or not.
If it were, in the sense I mean, then we could say:
There exists a smooth 6-manifold W that is homeomorphic to R2×R4, say via h: R2×R4 → W,
such that''
1) For any p ∈ R2, h({p}×R4) is a smooth submanifold of W.
and
2)  For any p, q ∈  R2, we have that h({p}×R4) and h({q}×R4) are not diffeomorphic.
It would even be nicer if another condition were also satisfied:
3) The surjective map f: W  → R2, defined by f(w) = p where h-1(w) = (p,q) ∈ R2×R4, is smooth.
Can anyone shed light on whether any of these conditions are known to be true or not?  If so, I think that should be incorporated into the article.
[Note: Of course, the smooth manifold W must be diffeomorphic to the standard R6, since there is only one differentiable structure on Rn, n ≠ 4, up to diffeomorphism.]Daqu (talk) 04:34, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

These shops are common in Australia too and I would vote a weak keep, it probably reaches notability because they are a strong part of the Australian vernacular as used in slang to denote something as being sub-standard (i.e., "That's a two dollar shop effort there mate").

Granted many of these countries such as Kuwait sent token forces, but perhaps you could add another shade of green to show states that had limited participation in a war with Israel?
