Official Wants To Enact Law To Limit Youth Sex

TOKYO (Reuters) - Parents in Tokyo would be legally responsible for keeping school-aged children from having sex if the city's top law and order official gets his way.

The feasibility of such a step, proposed by Tokyo Vice Governor Yutaka Takehana, will be one of the topics discussed when a panel of experts meets on Wednesday to try to figure out how to deal with Japan's increasingly sexually active youth.

Takehana, the city's first vice governor in charge of law and order, was quoted by Kyodo news agency as saying that such a rule "would convey the determination of adult society" to prevent youth sex, even if no penalties were imposed.

A Tokyo government official acknowledged that enforcing such a law would be difficult. "If this sort of topic were to emerge at the meeting, we could not ignore it," he said.

"Certainly enforcement would be difficult," he added. "I imagine that the idea of a law will be vetoed."

1. Send me there...

That will at least help solve the problem of too many Japanese male teenagers having sex. I'll keep all the ladies for myself.

I apologize in advance for this dumbass post. I'm bored and need something to entertain myself.

2. So, the Japanese are learning from us...

Too bad what they're learning is how to enact stupid dumb-fuck laws that are doomed to failure and serve NO purpose but to let some blow-hard tell his constituents "Look! I am most disrespectful to Crime! It give warm feeling of happiness!"

If it's un-enforcable, WHY enact it?

3. Oh. Well That Ought To Do It!

We all know that just passing a law will immediately impede behavior, so this should take care of the whole problem. Just like that. See how easy that was?

What a simpleton!
