In Japan, a “hikikomori” defines a person who usually has no job, no wife, plays games all day, and has no future.

By Theodore Shoebat As hundreds of people have been slaughtered by shelling, as homes are shattered, the empires of old rise, and the world we have become so accustomed to is deteriorating before our eyes.
