What's going on with the math here? Percent per 100'000?
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.

It's pretty commendable that you're trying to educate that person. I wouldn't have even bothered since it's clear that they're asking questions in bad faith.
Paraphrasing it:
So you believe in Satan? That's stupid.
And
So you're atheist? With useless extra steps, too.
I can't recall who said this, but they noted that the purpose of engaging in debate is not necessarily to persuade or educate the opponent, but rather to provide insights for the audience, who may have similar questions and can benefit from the discussion.

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.
Also in IT. Complained last week about a guy who is a lawyer who was befuddled by needing to reset his password for an online service. Dude! How can you not have this skill by now?!
I was utterly forlorn. And a bit angry.

According to a January 2025 survey, it is.

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?
Here's another in case you didn't know. People always talk about working in Japan to be brutal and constantly work long hours the entire week.
Data says otherwise.

That "study" has been ridiculed because they only checked for people living in certain places like public parks. Other estimates run anywhere from 10k to over 100k.

Do you have a link to those estimates?

Christianity is a vile, violent, and horribly divisive religion. Its also a pedophilia cult.

So you genuinely believe Satan exists and has influence in the world? Where does he live under the Earths mantle?
Because that is entirely at odds with everything we know about reality.
n00b doesnt understand Satanism

Science disagrees with consensus reality.
Do what?...
-
Wait, wait, wait.
Talk all the shit you want about how people twist the meanings of the book/religion, there are some very good stories in the Bible.
No there aren't.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Yes, google how many homeless people in Japan.
edit: excuse me but why the douchevotes? That's exactly what I did. Do I have to redo it and copypaste a link to the result because somebody doesn't feel like typing in the search themselves? Wow.

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.
Edit: That Wikipedia article may have been written by ChatGPT cause the actual total number of homicides in all of Japan in 2022 was 853.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]As the other guy mentioned, 0.23% per 100,000 doesn't make sense. That's like saying 0.23 murders per 100 (cent) per 100,000. One of those per Xs is redundant.
The Wikipedia page linked says Japan has a murder rate of 0.233 per 100,000 residents. If this made sense as a percent, it would mean a percentage of 0.000233%. But this statistic wouldnt work as a since a "percentage" implies a fraction of a whole, for example 50% of a population is born male.
The original statistic under discussion says that there are "X number of murder cases per 100,000 people living in country", rather than "Y% of the country's population is murder victims", which wouldn't make sense anyway since the dead aren't part of the population; i.e. you wouldn't see a statistic like "20% of the population is dead" but rather "20% of the population died", and "90% of the deaths were by murder" rather than "18% of the population is murder victims".
Thank you for attending my TED talk.

Edit: 0.233 murders per 100,000 residents (in 2022) = 126,146,099 (pop of Japan as per the 2020 census) x 0.233 ÷ 100,000 = 294 murders total. The wiki page says the actual count is 289, so the error is probably due the drop in population since the 2020 census.

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
0.07 x 100 000

Uh, try simple math?
(100,000 x .23)÷100 = 230
230 murders per 100,000 people.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]But its not 230 murders per 100,000. It's 289 murders total, for the entire population that year.
0.233 out of 100,000 were murdered.
That's 0.000233% of 100,000 people. -
Uh, try simple math?

The same table on the Wiki page says that the actual count was 289 murders in 2022. Japan had a population of over 126 million in 2020. If we used your formula, that would mean there were over 289,000 murders in Japan between 2021 and 2022. See below:
230 per 100,000 = 126,146,099 x 230 ÷ 100,000 = 290,136 murders total.
Whereas, 0.233 per 100,000 = 126,146,099 x 0.233 ÷ 100,000 = 294 murders total.
2+2=4, simple maths. But 290k murders per year would explain the population drop, lol.
