Unpleasant things about Japan

[jeisan]

oh yup, thats exactly what i meant. ponders when i proclaimed myself a genius... oh well it was to make up for the 'e' i used to spell "anything" eariler. no worries.

well i dont think its safer for the country, think its bad juju, while it may stop some sort of terrorism from outside it makes it easier for us to terrorize ourselves from the inside. oh well you think whatever ya want, but it seems like the start of something bad to me.

 

[Reiku]

Lets rewind..........Thats what the left was screaming in the early-mid 80's about "Star Wars" and the "Arms race" Thank God they were wrong.

It's facinating how everyone said Star Wars would never work and by 2008 the Whole U.S would be protected by missile defense. God bless you President Reagan!

The Patriot Act & US security:

Dis-Mything 9-11 Part 1: Protected My ***

Professional Paranoid, Part II

Slightly biased for being of Libertarian origin. But still much better than US governmental propaganda.

Uh, you seem to be missing a lot in between personal attacks and "I lub jpan!" It seems to me that you were having less of a discussion and more of a name calling exchange. I think that you are among those who need to chill.

You just proven yourself a wise ***.

Sounds like something you are going to back up instead of looking like a scholar. You may play one on the internet, but thats a different story.

You're not a dumbass? you sound like one.

Texas...no wonder he's mad.

Just because you feel safe in dirt water, texas doesn't mean we aren't at war.

Don't you mean "comprehend". Hey, i make typo's too but I'm not self proclaimed genius.

 

[chikazukiyasui]

I hesitate to interrupt in this conversation, warm as it is, but I just thought I'd make a small correction to the following factoid:

Theres more japanese in NEW York than any other place besides Japan.

There are far more Japanese in Sao Paulo than in New York.

I don't know if that proves that Brazil is the best country in the world. I think I'll leave that to someone else to decide.

 

[Duo]

Yes, I was in the USMC, is that dishonorable to you?

No, not all; like I said, I was just wondering.

Just because you feel safe in dirt water, texas doesn't mean we aren't at war. I witnessed 9/11...I know.

Who are you at war with exactly ?

U.S citizens are protected by the constitution. There was no amendment taking away Americans freedom.

The constitution is just a piece of paper that can interpreted in many ways.

I visited Japan, and I am gooing to write some disadvantages about Japan


1) japan has the filthiest toilets in the world.

2) Japan is sexually too corrupted.

3) Japanese girls love ONLY white people, and they are nice to ONLY white ppl

4) All Japaneses are rpoud of WWII. May be they are brainwashed by their education, but ppl are so simple-minded that they believe everything they are taught at school.

5) Living expenses are too high

6) tokyo Yokohama are too dangerous places

7) There are so many crazy things in Japan ushc as cults

8) Many Japanese ppl talk too loudly, and they don't care about others.

Just to confirm.. that the country that you have visited is call "JAPAN"..

Just in case you went to a wrong country...

what's katsu curry?

OMG!!!! Katsu Curry is Fried Pork over rice with Japanese style Curry sauce on top. One of the greatest foods ever to come from Japan.

Mmm, I want some right now....

Wow, it looks like this discussion has become quite the pissing match, eh?

I had already stated my feelings about the post 9-11 US. I am, and always be, proud to be an American. I was born here, and God willing, I will die here. I love my flag, I thik it is the most beautiful one on this earth. I am proud of the soldiers that live and die so that I may enjoy freedoms not seen in other countries. Regardless of how many people view the patriot act or its effects on some things, remember this, it is hard to catch many fish without some sort of a net. I witnessed the effects of 9-11 first hand, and I will be God-damned if I am going to allow that to happen again. I do agree that it will be a thorn in a few poeple's sides, but there is nothing that can be done about it. It's not like we live in the book 1984, we don't have a hammer and a sickle on our flag or government buildings, so stop making it out like we have such an oppresive government.

I won't get into this any further, because this is a tremendous waste of bandwidth.

Just learn how to get along.

You are obviously talking about Korea right now.
Have you ever been Japan? I agree to only 5 in some extend.

The rest indexs are way more resonably fit to Korea than Japan.(if you change the WWII title into Korean ultral nationalism)
Number 3 is not correct neighter in Korea nor Japan.

You must be ashamed what you posted here so you cheated your flaG.
You must have been reading too many anti japanese books.

Loser.

I agree with you.
The funny thing is that Japaneses are very proud of invading Asian countries and even proud of murdering some Americans.
In some countries, these things are shameful history, but Japaneses think it is a proudful thing.
I also agree that in Japan, students have no respect to any eldery or any ppl that they don't even know.
USA is far better than Japan.

I love the US

Coward,you are making America involved in this topic because you have no confidence on your crap posting.
You never been to Japan but just posted based on your reading anti japan book like "일본은 없다"

 

[jieshi]

I cant believe this thread is still going! Its turned into a shameless debate! now about who is right about "there are more Japanese people in new york than sao paulo" really come on its gone right off topic

 

[okashii]

feeling toward other westerners

how do the Japanese feel about interracial people ( such as myself)

 

[Hachiko]

1.) They save face too much.

2.) Tokyo's the most expensive city to live in...

...and that's all I can think of right now. :?

 

[cacawate]

how do japanese feel about interracial people ( such as myself)

There are many, many posts here about this. Our search button is a tool of the grand. This is getting out of hand. We need a repremand....one fish two fish --

The reason why ppl move to USA to immigrate is because Japan is not a good for human to live,period.
Even friends from Nepal Pakistan and Banglasdesh was considering to immigrate and work in Japan, they all cancelled their plan and moved to the US.
Why USA is better than Japan?
Because the US is a melting pot and Japan is not.
I guess Japaneses don't even know the meaning of melting pot. LOL

Now that is a stupid thing to say, though your whole purpose in posting here seems to be to just bait people so I shouldn't be surprised. Very few countries are melting pots. Is your home country Korea a melting pot? Could, say, a big Nigerian guy move to Korea, settle down and live life just like any other Korean? I doubt it, so criticizing Japan for this is just idiotic.

The whole melting pot idea isn't all its cracked up to be from an immigrants point of view anyway, as it places the burden on immigrants to abandon their home cultures and assimilate themselves. Has its advantages, but in large part it means that immigrants have to give up their identities when they arrive and adopt an entirely new culture as their own, which isn't easy.

Answering quite late, but...

Dude, you should go to subdeveloped countries...

Hmmmmmmm

I don't say this to be mean, but I never knew there could be narrow minded people on this forum *coughs* smartguy1.

1. Who the hell has clean public toilets?! all public toilets are nasty and disgusting... so you can't blame them for that because im sure where you're from there are nasty public toilets... lol

2. Japan is a free country who is allowed to express sexuality... maybe a little too much for many nations b/c a lot of countries censor a lot of it. If you watch japanese anime, how much sex do you see in it? and how much references to sex do you actually hear? I think you just need 2 realize that Japan is really open with it. (im not trying to sound bitchy here)

3. Japanese gurls like white people yes, because my dad who is white was a star there when he went... they like blonde hair, blue eyed white guys... i don't know why that is... but i think it has to do with the craze of all the American movies that get shipped over there for them to see...

4. regardless to their defeat in WWII, strategically, for example in WWII, they actually took over Pearl Harbor, had expanded their territory from Korea, China and the Phillipines. The US has done some horrendous stuff, and we always learn the GOOD things about them, when in reality its just a bunch of BS. Honestly, every country brainwashes each citizen. Thats why politics is corrupted!

5. Japan is coming out of a recession, therefore, b/c of inflation prices are high... the yen used 2 be 100 yen per dollar which is $1 to $1yen... pretty soon things will get back towards that level... but coming out of a 10-year recession is pretty hard.

6. Yakuza primarily live there, so of course its dangerous. I heard they're everywhere and don't where suits as much anymore, and just try to blend in with the crowd. Once again, every country has one bad place/city. Take for example NYC... how many people are going to try and bomb down buildings here, and living and working in the city is pretty rough especially when you're a primary target for terrorist activity.

7. cults - are everywhere!

8. Japanese people don't care b/c thats how they all are. Theres a lot of people out their that are rude, annoying etc., but a lot of people just deal with it. For example, if your sitting in the movie theater and people just talk thru the whole thing, or your at a concert and your cellphone rings when they ask you politely in the beginning to shut them off. They only care about themselves, and not everyone else. Sometimes thats a better mentality then caring for everyone and not yourself.

I understand where your coming from, I'm just broadening the perspective on your points, and have some counter-arguments to your disadvantages. Don't take it personal, it isn't meant to be that way!
