Is right for Japan to impose financial penalties for those with a waist over 33 inches?

absolutely fatties need to slim down. Government control of fat is perfectly reasonable. Best answer Max.

33 inches? that must be a misprint, 33 inches is not overweight at all, i mean i know Asians are typically smaller then us Americans but im a 32 inch waist and I had my fat percentage measured at 7 percent. Im 6'2" and 195 pounds...im very lean but would be dangerously close to getting a financial penalty in Japan! Now take into account they are only doing this to older people, thats a lot of penalties.

Well it is a facist ideal. Germany and Japan both did it in WW2 era as a means of preparing for war. Suppose we could see the same thing happening here. Japan and Germany are actually considered 2nd and 3rd ranked in military and economy. So WW3 here we come.

Guess they never got over that whole atomic bomb thing.

They dont want to become big fat ugly Americans!!! I am 32 inches!! But i work hard at it! Gym and good excercise for a year and a half.

if they did that in america im pretty sure people would riot lol

33.5 and i know it is kinda extreme, but their intentions are good...its for the better of the country
