bombing little brown people is keeping the peace?[/QUOTE]
I said relative peace... please don't tell me you would rather China or Russia were doing that job?
Notice the civilians are collateral damage, they happen in every war unfortunately. However, the major target in Afghanistan are direct oppressors of human rights. Holy shit you can't actually tell me the Taliban should be allowed to do what they're doing?
[QUOTE=the343danny;22177187]I mostly noticed that most Japanese are more scared than hateful of outside culture. Collectivist culture makes them shy away from those who are individualists, and a lot of collectivists are only comfortable with other collectivists. Honestly, it seems that the Japanese were one of the few that didnt hate America during the Bush years. You know, its kind of hard to judge Japan without knowing the place you know? I was born there, and I am half Japanese, and I go there every once in a while.
Having lived in both countries, and being both American and Japanese, I liked Japan a lot more. However, school years in Japan are pretty shitty due to the amount of work. It seems that whether living is better here or Japan really depends on your job, and at older years definitely Japan.
Infrastructure is way better there; you dont ever need cars. You can walk because things are tighter placed, take buses which are often used thus theres a lot of them, the trains which can take you anywhere. When I was younger I can go far away by my self, unlike in here where I am too limited as we kinda need cars.
And surprisingly, rape rates here are 20 times that of Japan.
Edit: to the guy who said Japan eats cats/dogs, no they dont. They dont eat fetuses either. Thats China your thinking of. China != all of oriental Asia[/QUOTE]
This is a good post.

Nobody travels cross-country on a day-to-day basis
American cities rely on the automobile and freeways and have a much lower population density than Japanese cities, which rely on extensive train systems...pretty basic concepts

Japan was crazy enough to send kamikaze pilots in ww2 lol
I don't know. I'd rather live in America than Japan, but if i knew how to speak fluent Japanese and i had the cash i would live in Japan.
Although crazy shit goes down in Japan.
Considering our army makes up 75% of their defense force... Yeah.....
America isn't better than Japan, they both suck equally.

Basically this.
Japan is cramped and the culture is just overwhelming to me, but I think their gizmos and gadgets are pretty nifty.
America seems pretty cool, computer and internet wise, (wish i had decent internet). I can't explain it, but I don't really like the the atmosphere.

You know, I find myself agreeing with just about every post you write in.. Well, all the threads I've seen you in.
I could go on about the pros/cons of both the countries, but in the end it all comes down to this:
It all sucks, the world is shit.
Religion, war, politics, one crisis after another.. It seems like there's no end to how terrible this world is.
My advice? Spend your life on the internet, it's just as good as anywhere else, except we have the lowest murder-rates in the world.
Stealing on the other hand is actually so common it can be called normal
Japan is the worst xenophobic ex-isolationist nation on this earth for the simple fact that, since they were born, they have had to import large amounts of almost everything from us dirty foreigners so they can build their robots and Honda cars
Whereas mighty America is blessed by God with a large land rich in resources, so Gods favored people can produce whatever they need and give surplus to the heathen cripples of the international community for a nice profit

I hope you were being sarcastic or something.
I don't disagree with the Japan-part, but that American one... Even though it's pretty much true, it's a pretty stupid reason, and you sound like a nationalistic pig for writing it.
Just sayin'

both equally mad laws but in japan there are less highways

If this is true then it is time to treat fellow japanese people the same way. Mind you, don't confuse japanese with chinese!

Because the trains are the primary mode of transportation. Not cars.

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.
Also the US is a much more beautiful country in terms of nature, the countless ecosystems found throughout America. (yes yes there is the rest of the world, but many people in America don't have the money to travel to different places)
Really though Finland is the best country, we invented the Sauna therefore we are the only real men in the world because we chop wood and sit in 90-100 degree celsius saunas and run into ice cold water... all because its fun.
