Hello, I am from Japan and new here. My real name is Tomoko. I have been here in the US for almost 5 years and I will apply for citizenship at the end of 2016 when I become eligible. I learned English in a private school growing up in Japan. I live a very privileged life, and come from a fortunate family. What made want to join is I just have to comment on this.

An article I came across on about the man a while back that got caught printing guns on a 3D printer (in Japan). The 27 year old college student. Same age as me. So i felt compelled to join and voice my opinion on this.

Someone on there said that we're all socialists by majority. That would be like me assuming all Americans are all brain-dead idiots. When I know that's not true. Just a generalization. All silly talk aside, That is not true. I am not a socialist, anyway, I do know that.

I am a young woman of liberty, and even if I am not living in Japan any longer, I support them in anything that they do if it involves less government overreach, and more for them. Both our countries have grown apart due to President Obama's lawlessness and now Japan tops China as the US's top debt holder. This is where the strained relationship with very little communication from the White House all started with the Obama Administration. I know all of you can agree with me on that. Obama really strained the allied relationship between us all.

I am both happy, and concerned that Japan is no longer pacifist. It's great they are able to defend their country, and themselves but there's no 2nd Amendment for Japanese. Many love guns and we commend Americans for keeping that right for such a long time. (full autos are still heavily restricted among other things, and that should not be) But ammunition is expensive on full autos and we can agree on that.

When I got my first pistol and then my first rifle living here, I was smiling from ear-to-ear. I can't do that back home.

What Americans do, Japan is highly influential of. Both cultures watch each other's actions, especially Japanese. Both political and non-political. The younger Americans who somehow, find us interesting, lol. I wish they could have the freedoms over there, like I do here. Especially the women. Many women are capable if not, more so then the men in Japan at many male-dominated positions.

I hope to get to know all of you very well,

Thank you, and God Bless!

Welcome to FR.

When you have time, read the Federalist Papers to gain a view of the formation of the US Constitution.

I wanted to add that one of the things that I appreciate about Japanese Culture is that they seem to actually love their own culture and promote their own culture where as we see in Europe almost a complete self-loathing of their own culture which is leading to slow erosion of the Western European culture in europe.

I believe ever country should safeguard and protect their own cultures so that in the future the real diversity of culture is preserved and it doesn’t devolve into one giant worldwide mush of one “grey” culture.

“”Konnichiwa! I am from Japan.””

Welcome to the US and to FR... I never knew how to spell your “hello” in Japanese but I learned to pronounce it in the fifties...I did not know it was spelled phonetically.. I should have figured that out...

How about:
Thank You
Goodbye

God Bless and welcome to our Republic!

I for one think that American conservatives need to make a better effort to reach out to conservative leaning people living (or from other places but live in the USA such as yourself) in other nations!
