Etc.

I didn't even know about this law or regulation.

It appears thousands upon thousands of companies are flouting this law to use convictions as a weeding tool of applicants.

Jiroemon Kimura, the world's oldest man, celebrated his 115th birthday and looks terrific:



From Wikipedia:

Jiroemon Kimura (Japanese: 木村 次郎右衛門 Kimura Jirōemon, born 19 April 1897) is a Japanese supercentenarian who, at the age of 115 years, 3 days, is the world's oldest living man, since the death of Walter Breuning on 14 April 2011. Being 113 years 360 days at the succession, Kimura is the oldest man ever to gain the title of oldest living man. He is the oldest living person in Japan and in Asia
since the death of Chiyono Hasegawa on 2 December 2011, and the last living person in Asia born in 1897. Kimura is the first man to be Japan's oldest living person since Denzo Ishizaki, who held the title in the spring of 1999. Kimura has been the oldest living man in Japan since the death of Tomoji Tanabe on 19 June 2009,[1] and the oldest Japanese and Asian man ever since surpassing Yukichi Chuganji on 26 October 2011. He is one of only three men verified to have reached age 115.

Kimura is currently the 3rd oldest verified living person in the world, the 3rd oldest man ever recorded, the 3rd oldest undisputed Japanese and Asian ever, and one of the 30 oldest people in history. He is the last known living man who was verifiably born before the year 1900. Since the death of Delma Kollar on 24 January 2012, he is one of only two people (the other being Dina Manfredini) remaining in the world who were born in 1897.
