A few years ago many people came to Japan with fake degrees which they bought from "degree mills". These people found work in various companies and schools, including several universities. But something happened, and a few people were found out. An investigation followed, and many people ended up being deported for using fake documents.
The economy is suffering in Japan at the moment, and it will get worse before it gets better. When I renewed my visa last week, there were demonstrators outside the office yelling about how foreigners were taking jobs away from Japanese. Many Japanese that I know have been "downsized", meaning that their working hours/days have been cut, or that they have been forced to take a reduction in salary (some by as much as 50%). But the real layoffs and downsizing probably have yet to occur, and when this happens, there will likely be little to no demand for foreign workers, and those that are here will may very well end up losing their jobs to Japanese who are able to do the same work.
You can keep trolling if you like, but you should change your name from "killyoself" back to "john thomas".
