Solution: 1. Make sure that the child DOES REALLY have a need for asthma inhaler. 2. Have a contact with the child's doctor regarding his/her condition. Have the school nurse do it. 3. Make sure that what the doctor prescribed is the one the child is using which a nurse can check. 4. Constant monitoring by both parents, school officials (teachers and school nurses) and attending doctors. Banning is not a solution, regulation is what is need. |

Sure, that's actually my position. I was simply explaining the schools' reasoning that had not yet been mentioned at the time.

"The inherent properties of bronchodilators like albuterol (Ventolin, Proventil, ProAir) and pirbuterol (Maxair) are not physically addictive. Some patients use bronchodilators simply out of habit, even when they don't need the medicine. Such a habit could be a psychological type of addiction." Remember when people spent so many hours on WoW back in the days? Yea... And I still remember when I was in kindergarten age, I was "addicted" to chewing handkerchief.

China condemns Japan PM Shinzo Abe's Yasukuni shrine visit
Whatever the domestic political motivations for this visit might be, it certainly cannot but inflame tensions between Japan and its neighbors. Presumably Abe knew this going in and chose to visit the shrine anyway.

I am just sick of people complaining about that shrine EVERY damn year. Get use to it! Or invade Japan! Make up your damn mind if you think Japanese people are evil and can't go to a shrine by their own free will or not! Are the Japanese people not free to go anywhere they please in their own lands? Are you going to start restricting their movements now?

Did they break international law? Did they sacrifice babies there? Did they in any way, did something reprehensible? No. Then let them do what they like. If you want to stop them doing something legal, maybe you should tell your government to invade Japan and take away their sovereignty. Until then, you and everyone else is just being retarded.
In fact, both sides benefit. China and Japan both stoke nationalism by this act, and both sides win. The only people being tricked are those who get mad for real, as they are the pawns who are being manipulated to shift anger overseas and ignore their own government's faults. This yearly ritual happens because Japan benefit from visiting the shrine, and China benefit by complaining about it. If China really want to stop it I am sure they can try harder, but why would they? They only complain to manipulate their own population. This is turning into the likes of the White House Turkey pardon. To do something because the symbolism is needed, but is otherwise retarded and no one in power takes it seriously.

Also, what could China do other than complain? Hellfire missile the Shrine with a Drone? Like America? Talk other nations to target Japan with brutal sanctions? Like Israel? Suicide bombers to blow up the Shrine? Like the Palestinians? kidnap Japanese expats in China and behead them, like the Al Quada? One should be thankful the level of restraints China show in face of the annual fuck you from Japan.

Face it: this yearly show of outrage is just a very convenient way to divert attention from problems at home. Demonizing neighbours to divert attention is politics 101.

As for China "claiming" and "disputing" ownership of South China Sea, at least Tokyo isn't getting firebombed, like Shanghai did. Nor its citizens subject to Biological weapon tests, like those in Manchuria. nor are Japanese women turned into sex slaves, like those in South Korea, nor are JDF troops mass executed after capture, like the Bathum death march. Unlike, after what Japan did over a broke railroad...

If someone killed your entire family, and that guy also died... are you gonna stop that guy's family from visiting his grave? Are you gonna take offense from that?
Abe going there is most likely a political move, same with most other politicians. They calculate the risk from abroad VS reward at home. China reacting like that is what they expect and probably want? Quote:

It's NOT an argument. Just pointing out additional information that's relevant. Quote:
Personally, I felt there's something questionable about the shrine when the new head priest in the 70s decided to enshrine the class A criminals secretly without notifying the emperor (when the previous head priest banned them from being enshrined there). Given the additional context that Abe's mostly silent and avoid answering when asked about Japan's past war crimes, and not even willing to admit Imperial Japan was the aggressor, it did give the other side some ground for "complain", though the other side did not articulate their complain well since PRC's goal is not to settle the argument, but to simply stroke their nationalism as you mentioned. On a side note, 54% of the Japanese also opposed their PM visiting the shrine (33% support, the rest undecided, though this result's from 2006). Quote:

And also, I was not aware Abe had ancestors within that shrine...by going to that Shrine, as the leader of an entire country, he effectively endorse the idea Japan did a good thing by invading her neighbors.

The Chinese leadership doesn't really CARE that the Japanese leader visited a shrine. But it is a simple way to manipulate their own population by complaining about it. And that's why it is done so often but with nothing else acchived. The complaint is just a way to control the Chinese people, nothing more. And any Chinese or China supporters who get fired up about this are actually the ones being treated like fools. You really think the Chinese leaders care? Really?

How do you know they don't care? Actually, they do. Do you know who the Chinese respect the most? Elderly. Do you know what the Elderly tend to remember? Their formative years of watching their family dying from Japanese made bioweapons, bombs, and bullets. Even today people still found Chemical weapon shells in Northern Machuria. And in return, those "Old folks" tell exactly what they think of the Japanese. When Japan and China first established relationships, thousands of people in China took it to the streets. The town where my grandmother lived, a major coal town in China, people took to the streets to express their displeasure and almost burned down half of the city, and the government had to use the PLA and a ton of BS propgranda to convince people not to...well, overthrown the CCP for being nice to murderous Japanese. To be honest, the current level of hatred Chinese have actually is far lower than 70's and 80s. That is when the direct survivors of the War are in control of the government. Now days, it is their sons & daughters, who didn't experience to massacre first hand/were toddlers when it happened. Someday, maybe it will fade into myths and legends generations later, but not right now. So open hatred of Japan is actually a popular, and democratic opinion, not a CCP manipulation. Regarding Dayiu Island, the CCP don't even need to manipulate, they just have the neutrally report "Japan is claiming the same Island as we do" and you will have a couple hundred million people online demand for boycott and war. Going to that stupid Shrine grantee to inflame the rest.
