What greatly confuses me is that quite a few people appear very adamant about fixing or discussing what they see are problems with Japan. However, don't discuss with that same attitude about problems within their own country. It would be best to exert the energy on discussing issues within in one's native country since one is more likely to understand the socio-economic system, politics, etc. better than those of a foreign country.
The two most countries I hear the most complaints about are Japan and America, and these people who complain still want to go there. I find it very interesting.
Also, I find it interesting how some of the comments in the article you linked are off topic. The article was discussing closure of schools for foreign children and not work conditions and living conditions.
No. of schools for foreign children decreasing amid serious recession
Here is the first few lines of that article you linked:
TOKYO —
With the recession taking a particularly heavy toll on migrant communities, many schools for children of Japanese-Brazilian and other backgrounds have closed their doors after struggling through falling enrollments and nonpayment of fees.
