Not to get too graphic, but I remember some celebrity telling us to use only one square sheet of toilet paper each time, and this would help the environment. I forget her name, but her message was that we all use too much toilet paper.

Sheryl Crow, useless lib.

The population is aging rapidly and the population is declining because young people are having way fewer children.

Japan has a high population density similar to India. Happiness increases as population density decreases. Japan currently has way too many people living in too small a space. This problem is correcting itself.

The people that value families are having them, while those that aren't suited for raising children are removing themselves from the gene pool. Currently there are more of the latter which masks the gene pools that are growing. It will work out for the better in a few generations.

Socialism often employs ponzi schemes that implode as populations decline. That's a good thing.

As part of the campaign, makers are offering a tightly rolled, 150-meter- (490-foot-) long, single-layer toilet paper that lasts more than twice as long as a regular roll.

Cheryl Crowe must be in hog heaven.

Japanese economic and military strength will be severely reduced when it has a population of 80M and China has a population of 1.6 billion.

Happiness is not correlated to being a Chinese vassal state.

Currently Japanese are much happier than Indians.

Japanese continue to move to densely populated cities and away from rural areas. Rural governments continue to consolidate because of a lack of citizens.

New research finds that as population density decreases, the suicide rate among young people goes up.

Is this the Japanese version of the run on toilet paper caused by a flip remark by Johnny Carson in a monologue one night?

Right now Japan has the population of 120 million. In 40 years, it’ll decline to 80 million. The nation will remain Japanese so they’re not at risk of Civilization Collapse.

My wife was complaining that we should use some of the stored toilet paper we have stockpiled, saying it’s getting old. I told her the only way it goes bad is if you use it. Keeping it, just in case. I also have a spare toilet seat, after a prepper mentioned it’s a good companion piece for the stockpiled TP. You can take the toilet seat with you and use it anywhere over a hole or container.

Don’t you rotate your supplies?

Food supplies yes, but lately not the paper stuff. It’s way in the back behind other stuff, and I get lazy. I figure the food is more important, other survival gear less so. Got behind on rotating cases of water, but old water can be used for cleaning and cooking. If I’d be willing to use a phone book for TP, then old TP would suffice.

Five years ago the Japanese population was $128M.

They risk population implosion.

A vicious cycle where every generation is smaller than the one that preceded it.

They risk becoming an irrelevant vassal state at the edge of the Chinese Empire.

All it takes for a baby boom where the average birth rate is 3.0 per woman.

New high-tech toilets from Japan : no hands or paper required ! http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/new-high-tech-toilets-require-hands-paper-article-1.1710437

And it is 1.4 and falling.

Japan has no added cost healthcare and childcare.

A ~$5k bonus/tax rebate for having a child.

Japan has just about run of carrots to increase fertility rates.

Only thing left is sticks. And that would entail a massive global backlash.

New research finds that as population density decreases, the suicide rate among young people goes up.

The declining suicide trend only works up to a density of 800 people per square mile then the rate ceases to decline. 800 people per square mile is exburb density, not city living. Maximum happiness seems to occur somewhere around that density, although it varies with age. People in their 20s do prefer city life.

Republican voters are in the majority below about 1,000 people per square mile. Big gov lovers take majority control above that. If we want to manage the demand for socialism we need to encourage more people to move out of the ultra high density commune 'rat nests.

My wife and family refuse to drink bottled water that is older than the “Use by …” date-stamp. Myself, I don’t care. They think it may have micro-organisms in it that grow over time. I drink water bottles that are several years old and don’t feel any after-effects. I’m talking water bottles we take with us on the go every day. Otherwise we drink filtered tap water. As for very old water, it can be boiled and I do have a filter-pump for nasty water cleaning in case of emergency. As we buy cases of water, I use a marker to write the date and generally rotate with older cases still within the use-by date, for my family.

I knew I was living in a Fools Paradise here in Marin County but this really beats all

Oraganic Corn Cobs MAY indeed be the next trendy toiletry product
