It could be funny if it wasn't a very big problem. Japan is going to be needing a lot of people to start fucking otherwise they're going to run into population issues.

It will be 20 years before those new kids are taxpayers, if not more. Japan has screwed themselves through stubbornness. This is just one factor.

i'm just imagining them starting to treat japanese like the chinese do pandas they even hype those damn bears up on panda porn to get them into the mood for the 2 days a year a female panda can mate
to be honest, in the long run it is better if the population of Earth shrinks. Even more so in western countries.
I blame bukkake, all the japanese porn watchers are confused about where to ejaculate.

It's all over the place yet some of it is oddly censored for some reason.. It's a mindfuck just trying to comprehend the entirety of the situation. :v: They've got their work cut out for themselves, that's for sure.
Ah c'mon, there are 127 million of them, 11th in the world by population. Croatia for example has lost 10% of population in just the last 20-25 years. Some middle and eastern European countries have similar negative trends. Many people move to west and those who stay don't have many kids (just google populations in Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria... loses are in millions already).
it's hard to have sex with 2d anime girls, but some make it happen. the japanese truly are an inventive people.

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;51064128]How the hell is that better for anyone?[/QUOTE] you know the whole, people in the west consuming alot more then the earth can actually offer to the total population. because we totally need more people on Earth with the way we currently live our lives. why is having less population a problem? I fail to see the problem even more so with the rise of automation in the west.

Considering Japan's culture involves an unhealthy amount of "work non-stop until you die", I can't exactly blame people for being less than enthusiastic about having children.

Well except for finite resources like oil but that was going to be a problem eventually anyway. There's definitely a point where population will have to stop growing but we're not there yet.
[QUOTE=Laserbeams;51064152]The things people in the west consume are made in the west for the people in the west. If anything, people in third world countries should have a population drop because that's where population growth is unsustainable[/QUOTE] Are you being serious? That is not true at all. Alot of the oil we use is from other countries that are often times not nice countries. Same thing goes for alot of the resources. You are bullshitting when you say that we don't have a problem in the west. [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overconsumption[/url] There is a million other papers/articles and such about this topic. Denying this is quite silly and I think personally you are kind of the same as people denying global warming. I am not even saying that the third world isn't going to be a problem but right now, the average single person in a developed country consumes several times more then the average African family.
My friend (Gythor on FP), who studied chemical engineering over there for a year, told me that [I]one[/I] of the reasons there isn't as much fucking and child birth going on is because of their rather absurd work ethics. Not only is stress a great factor, but women who goes into the active work force has actively chosen work over family. Women who are also mothers can have it much more difficult to get a well-paying job since they are then expected to be a housewife, and that they cannot commit to work as much since they are expected to care for their husband and children.
I was watching a short clip on the Japanese game studio Polyphony making the first Gran Turismo game in the late 90's. They had mattresses on the floor in the cramped office so they could essentially live there. One guy said he only went home twice a week and it was to shower. Then there's this: [url=http://imgur.com/u5bctWV][img]http://i.imgur.com/u5bctWVl.jpg[/img][/url] They have no chill when it comes to work.

[QUOTE=Kljunas;51064176]There's definitely a point where population will have to stop growing but we're not there yet.[/QUOTE] I don't think overpopulation on [U]global[/U] scale will ever be a problem. Yes, currently the population is growing, but the [U]growth rate[/U] is slowing down. Europe is already losing native population and growth is based on immigration, then Russia, Germany, China and Japan, all with big populations are either already losing population or the growth has stopped. Some scientist predict global population will hit its peak somewhere between 2050 and 2100, and then it will start to decline. Once the people are moved to cities and live in small apartments(what happened in the last 50 years in mentioned nations + other factors like birth control and women having to work+ bad job market) I highly doubt they will ever start having 3-4 children again. Also dogs and cats are good enough these days and cheaper. [QUOTE=rndgenerator;51064208]To be honest, no one. We're gona die out and that's nothing surprising nor will anyone care.

The west imports oil from evil places? Like what? Norway? Yeah, the fucking Norwegian dictatorship deserves to burn. The worst place that has a significant oil export to the west is Russia, but Russia itself is pretty damn western by most standards. If you're talking about something like Saudi Arabia, then the Saudi oil product export to the west is like 20%. Most Saudi oil stays in Asia, and it still doesn't help them. And the average person in the West can consume more because Western countries can sustain themselves, which is exactly what I'm talking about. You can't have population growth in countries that are ridden with deadly diseases, have people walk for miles to get dirty water, and don't have decent farmland, and also have one or several civil wars going on at any given moment, but that's exactly what we have in the world right now, with Africa and Asia having the biggest population growth right now. You know that whole thing where people from Northern Africa and the Middle East go to Europe by the millions? Clearly that is because Europe definitely needs less population because the West is unsustainable, right?
Japans work ethics is going to kill the entire country if they keep at it, if they set in stone laws related to work hours and overall pay they'll see a massive shift as people will be able to relax more but it wont happen, no one wants to have a family with the stress of craziness that the work places in japan put on their workers.
