Actually one upside of japan is there are less weeaboos there than there are in the US.
[QUOTE=Earthen;22181320]Almost every large American city has train/underground systems, whats your point? People just don't use them because its easier to drive in such large places... or so they think.[/QUOTE]
Public transportation in Japan and the United States isn't even comparable. Generally speaking, the US throws all its money at freeway systems and public transport is underfunded, underused, and doesn't cover the cities as nearly as extensively as Japanese systems do because it is not financially viable to do so due to lower population densities and urban sprawl which is much more prevalent in the US (New York being one rare exception, sort of). My point is that the size of the country obviously has nothing to do with mass transit on a day-to-day basis because nobody commutes across the country, and Japan undeniably has the US beat with regard to "movement" like the343danny posted.
[QUOTE=Dr. Hax;22182579]Never been to the south have yah.[/QUOTE]
So we are now basing an entire population's actions upon the idiocy of a few? Nice one. Quite a lot of people that I have met from the south were very kind. The only Japanese I've met (I go to an international school) have been very awkward and unsociable.
America is better because Superman says so:

[QUOTE=OnDemand;22179561]If this is true then it is time to treat fellow japanese people the same way. Mind you, don't confuse japanese with chinese![/QUOTE]
Actually they have hatred towards other "asians" which they hate being called, because it's basically like calling everyone in Europe europeans during WW1.
Also, in Japan, racial profiling is basically culturally accepted. For example, someone running a business can not give someone a job/kick them out, if they are Korean.
Though there are some radical groups that do hate all foreigners, but every country has crazy nationalists.

US has its fair share of racial profiling/xenophobes too
see: Arizona police/immigration bill
and the majority of Americans support the bill too.. :cawg:
Doesn't japan have huge xenophobic problem with the Korean population, much of which is actually from Japan, from the generations of Koreans who in one way or another got into Japan (From old wars, when Japan took prisoners among civilian population) to the current, financial immigrants)? And by a problem, I mean both sides clearly dislike each other.

We enjoy discrimination in the states too.
But to be fair, all this talk of America hating outsiders is pretty much bullshit considering such a large percent of our population has or has had ancestors that have immigrated to the United States.

Though in America, you could probably sue someone if they are racist against you, sometimes people have probably been falsely sued for racial profiling too in the US of A.
But people don't get punished for specifically targeting Korean as a scapegoat in Japan, because lots of the Japanese think it's acceptable.

US population growth has been slowing down for a while now, and I'm pretty sure Japan's has too.

Japan is facing a crisis when it comes to birthrates. It's literally becoming a threat to their economy because people just keep getting older without having children. I read somewhere that it's an estimate that if the birthrates keep going the way they are now by the year 3000 there'll be 27 Japanese people on the planet.

Yet at this moment there seems to be more than they can handle.
Just an FYI guys tension between Japan and the US goes back way before WWII.
They emerged as world powers at almost exactly the same time and were essentially eachothers' greatest rival during that brief period where the US and Britain had become friends but Russia hadn't become communist yet.
...And even before that the state of California had a history of majorly pissing off the Japanese government.
[QUOTE=lockdown6;22188033]because americans have way bigger egos
which actually makes america worse[/QUOTE]
Japan had a big ego too. Its plan on imperialism to fight off Western influence failed with the West as the victor. Though it's quite ironic now that the Japanese government keeps holding back on making a military and letting the US make airfields and stuff in their country. :v:

[QUOTE=MegaChalupa;22174158]That's not how it works at all. Criminals don't buy weaponry legally, they either steal it or buy them from dealers illegally. The average citizen cannot buy buy full automatic weapons legally and in places like Chicago and DC, which have some of the highest gun crime rates in the nation and some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, you cant but handguns or any kind of assault rifle at all. If criminals go out of state to buy their firearms, why would they go all the way back just to commit crimes? Why not stay where they are, where gun laws are "lenient" and go crazy?
You are also forgetting that the US shares a border with MEXICO. Mexico has practically outright banned firearms for civilian use, yet they have the highest gun crime rates in the continent. The drug cartels and traffickers always have a chance to export illegal firearms into this country, just like they do with illegal drugs and immigrants. As long as we have that border open, we will always have illegal firearms flowing into the country.
Japan shares a border with noone.
A person in Japan who attacks innocent by standards with a knife is never going to be shot back by a citizen who carry's, they can do massive amounts of damage.
Again, areas of the US that properly uphold the 2nd Amendment have LOWER crime rates than those who don't.

I love how Trotsky never replied to that. Maybe gulags would scare people away from crimes in general.
Well, I mean, we did force Japan to come out of isolation, so basically without us, there might be a chance that Japan would still be stuck to itself with samurai and swords. But I think both countries have their strengths and weak spots.
