What’s going on with the math here? Percent per 100’000?
That’s what you have to use because they have fewer people per capita. It’s basic math.
But usually, you have total numbers per 100k and that’s the percents. % is parts of hundred, no matter what.
Yes, there just shouldn’t be a percentage sign. It’s not a percentage. The value is probably around 5 something per 100k.
Exactly, the post is meaningless. Unless anyone believes there are fewer than 3000 homeless people in Japan lol.
Admittedly, ignorance respects no particular faith. That said, Christianity does seem to have quite the stranglehold on it.
That’s only because you live in America.
That’s because you see more of them. Or at least what passes for christian in the US. Rest assured that the others are more than keeping pace.
I don’t view christianity as a real religion tbh. Maybe way back when it was but nowadays it’s just a way for fragile suburbanites to justify their victim complex and bigotry.
That’s how most “real” religions are.
Oh yeah 100%. I was just going in on Christianity specifically since that was what was mentioned.
I would specify that the views and practices of modern religious have probably diverged to a very likely large extent from that of their founding predecessors, but I’d also imagine those same predecessors also used religion to justify their victim complexes and bigotries. The two groups, separated by many thousands of years, seem to have much the same underlying mentalities.
Did they mean 0.7% cause 07% is higher than 5.7%
07%
This is why punctuation is important.
Not even sure what year this is from cause the murder rate in Japan is .23% per 100,000 as of 2022.
Interestingly the United States is at 5.7% per 100,000 as of 2023.
Relevant Wikipedia article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate
And as of 2022 it looks like the Christian population of Japan has declined to around .96% of the total population.
Never mind that, what does “07% per 100K” even mean? As far as I can tell that evaluates to 0.0000007 or 7 per 10 million
The “%” is unnecessary, yeah. I‘m guessing she meant “0.7 homicides per 100K citizens per Annum”
Assuming it’s .07% and not 7% since the latter wouldn’t make sense with their post, that would make it 70 out of 100,000.
a simple math says: 0.7/100*100 000 = 0.7 * 1 000 = 700 so, 700 on 100k people

the f*ck are you talking about, it’s simple reduction
I can’t belive there adults that can’t pass second grade mathIf you need I can draw it for you like you do it in kindergarten
0.7% can be written as 0.7/100 or 7/1 000 and you can then do one of following:
(0.7/100)100 000 = 0.7(100 000/100) = 700
or
(7/1 000)100 000 = 7(100 000/1 000) = 700
To be fair there is also the suicide rate.
Also what the fuck were they expecting, Japan to be some Christian paradise?
First time I’ve actually taken the time to look it up. People talk about Japans high suicide rate but apparently it’s not that much higher than the United States? So less murder, more food availability and just a slightly higher suicide rate?
When people don’t have murder, homeless, ramped theft, they need some boogie man metric for the crier to report on.
And for Japan, the marginally higher suicide rate along with low population growth are it.
Of course the low rate of Christianity as well.
Also what the fuck were they expecting, Japan to be some Christian paradise?
Portugal has entered the chat
Portugal would like to know Japan’s location. And keep it a secret from other countries for years.
They probably just saw Silence and think it’s a result of the persecution of Christians back in the 1600s.
To those prepared to reply with “but that’s not what it is”, I’m not saying it is.
Some people are shockingly stupid, even though I’ve spent my entire life finding out how stupid people can be.
I worked in retail for a decade, and have been in IT for past 12 years. Mostly help desk. Mostly medical.
The advanced degrees these people have is astounding, but the lack of common sense is terrifying.
Like, these people are cutting into other people to fix shit? They can’t tie their own shoes, and the concept of a power button on a computer is too much.
This is the same person. Hopefully he has retired or died by now, cause those were his only real choices at that age.
Seriously, his assistant tied his shoes for him. She probably had advanced degrees of her own. And she had to tie an old man’s shoes on the daily.
Maybe there something to have such a laser focus like medicine specialties really does rob people of their common sense.
Tie? Shoe? No, but that artery is about to retract or some shit.
From my experience, doctors tend to despise IT.
From my experience, anyone that works with doctors despise them, so that road certainly goes both ways.
Also, from my experience, they tend to love when you pick up the phone at 4am, remote into their machine, and just fix their problem so they can get back to work.
Day shift people suck anyways.
I have the exact same experience. I explain health benefits to people for multiple different companies across the US. The number of airline pilots who see a ‘forgot username or password?’ button and just don’t know what that means, or type their username in the password field and vice versa, even though they’re clearly labeled, is insane.
Maybe he had back arthritis or similar conditions? If he was an old surgeon I’m sure 8+ hours a day bent over wasn’t kind to the core muscles and skeleton. As for intelligence, nobody is all knowing. Everyone has specialized knowledge, and few try to learn outside their interests. But yeah, learning basic pc skills is kinda important.
Every day I am amazed. Carlin is proven more accurate day after day.
I guess not having many Jesus cult members helps
Apparently the moonies don’t help things.
The weird thing is that they’re supposed to be Korean, and they’re historically not fond of one another. But then, anything to make a
buckyen.
Bigots are everywhere. But japanese want to make America great again?
Should be called MJGA
save me jeeeeeeeeeebus
Heartbroken because it should be 0%?
Yeah also japanese people shit rainbows
Only if everyone else around them are doing it.
Well when they stop shitting those rainbows into little holes dug into the ground give me a call
Something something corellation, causation
Your unhoused numbers are wrong. Those are the official “sleeping on the streets” numbers, which is not the same thing. First because they’re official, and therefore almost certainly undercounting, and second because they exclude all of the situations where people don’t have houses but are kinda not exactly in a cardboard box.
To be fair though it’s the ones living on the street that people choose to hate on as much as possible
07%/100000
5/7 with rice
I do not trust any stats that come out of Japan in terms of homelessness. If there’s a statistic that’s embarrassing for Japanese society, you know damn well they’re gonna try to cover it up with technicalities.
In Japan, the legal definition for someone who is homeless is: “those who use city parks, riverbanks, roads, train stations and other facilities as their place of stay in order to live their daily lives.”
So that doesn’t include living in your car, living in insecure housing, living in shelters, or living in internet cafés, of which in 2020 there were about 15,000 ‘net café refugees’ in Tokyo alone.
Sooo yeah, Japan can claim to officially have a super low homeless population, because they’ve narrowed the definition so much that you have to literally be sleeping on the street for it to count.
yeah they also fail to acknowledge the suicide rate or the amount of overtime or purchasing power of avg wages.
I’m not making any statements on any countries other than japan. but I’ll add a message to american weebs: STOP FETISHIZING JAPAN
But Japan is so perfect and kakkoi bro, I’ll solve all the problems in my life by moving there and then I’ll become kakkoi bro
I’ve lived in three different major Japanese cities and see fewer people sleeping rough in a year than I can see in an hour in either Europe or the US.
Sleeping Rough != Homeless though. Granted, almost everyone who sleeps rough is homeless, but not every homeless sleeps rough. Japan only counts people sleeping rough as homeless though.
Also there’s the element of being seen sleeping rough. There are plenty of people sleeping rough out there, but they don’t want to be seen that way so they keep to themselves and stay away from the general public, getting across the idea that there aren’t many of them.
They also flub their murder rates. It’s considered unclean to handle dead bodies, so autopsies aren’t common and anything that could be ruled a suicide, is.
They cover it with Hideo Kojima
Given the confluence of weeb culture and the alt-right (think incels and “traditionalists” with anime avatars, right-wing gamers pointing to Japan as a high-tech conservative utopia untouched by wokeness and such), it was inevitable that sooner or later someone would try to imagine a Japan that goes to Latin Mass.
Is that still a pervasive thought in today’s culture about Japan? I understood back in the 90’s when there was less exposure but I thought that reality kinda crumbled with the loss of high tech companies that actually give a damn anymore. I don’t know of anyone that talks about “premier” Japan tech unless it’s something from the past.
Japan tends to lurch forward, then be stagnant for large periods of time.

Hey, we at least tried to convert them, but nobody congratulates Portugal for that. 😔 😭
If anyone’s interested in that time period, James Clavell’s excellent Shogun novel is set a few decades into the process. (Before the shogunate rose into power, banned Christianity and massacred tens of thousands of Christian converts 😐)
