People in Japan are so averse to romantic relationships that the country's media even has a name for it: sekkusu shinai shokogun, or "celibacy syndrome," according to a widely circulated Guardian story on the country's low rates of marriage, childbearing and even sex.

Huh?
Wives of shoguns and warriors (women in the samurai class) were always armed (with a dagger), and were trained from childhood to defend themselves, both with the dagger and with the naginata, which was a sword mounted on a pole. So you did not mess around with them.
Yeah, right? Man, you would need to have the biggest can of Raid for that thing.
Haven't the Japanese learned that a plumber is PROBABLY one of the most IMPORTANT men in the world?!
Gee, I wonder WHY women have snapped up all those jobs from the men? Why aren't there 50% women plumbers, carpenters, ditch diggers, gardeners, mechanics (car or motorcycle), fire fighters, cops-on-the-beat, horse-patrol-cops, petroleum workers/rough necks, miners, RedAdair-type-fire fighters (putting out fires in oil wells), highway patrol officers on motorcycles, etc.?
My gender, female that is, seems to want jobs that are SAFE, CLEAN and CLOSE TO HOME. Hmmmm, am I exaggerating? I don't think so.
Mark Steyn substituted for Rush on Monday, this was one of the topics.
My view: the Japanese are not procreating, and don’t like immigrants either (because that would dilute the purity of the Japanese race). They will therefore see the collapse of their society even sooner than Russia and Europe (that will collapse because of who they allow in — Muslims, or because of low birth rates from abortion).
Probably the radiation.
Understood, but HUSBAND still had the right to beat the holy crap out of them. So, though warrior/shogun husbands COULD have beaten up wives, since it was/is so much of the culture, they DIDN'T. Are you telling me that wives would fight back? I don't think they would...and they wouldn't stand much of a chance again their husband.
Side note: MY husband always told me that there is NO defense for some pissed off person to sneak up on someone they hated and BASH the guy in the head with a two-by-four...with nails :o).
My Japanese-American co-worker said that in Japan, if a child comes to school that first day and had FRECKLES or CURLY hair, there had to be “proof of purity” of race. I wonder if that is still true.
Yeah, fuzoku is one of those really weird and difficult to understand things about Japan.
When my wife and I started dating (she’s Japanese) the first thing she lightly asked me was if I had ever went to fuzoku. I said, “No, I don’t have to pay for it,” as a joke and she laughed and then stoically responded, “Good, because if you had I’d never see you again.” I did know a Canadian fellow in Osaka that was quite an addict of fuzoku and eventually contracted several diseases.
The real problem with fuzoku is that many Japanese men DON’T see it as cheating EVEN IF THEY’RE MARRIED. It’s partially because prostitution was legal before WWII, but also because the yakuza runs it and pays the government and police for the privilege.
So, some mother and father ALLOWED their 12-year-old daughter to get into prostitution and/or pornography. How nice. (Sarcasm.)
screw japan
Yikes! Thank God I married a Polish Girl.
>>I worked with an Japanese-American woman for years.
She told me about what this article FAILS to mention, that is, in the Japanese culture it is 100% acceptable for husbands to beat wives. Wives are conditioned to and expected to TAKE IT without complaint or any form of retaliation.
Not true. Women are seen as subservient in many ways (in the office place and the home) and this is common in Asian society, but in my years living there and extensive knowledge of the culture this simply is untrue (and the fact that people in Japan are routinely arrested for it).
The lack of children exists mainly in the city. In the country they’re having children like crazy and homes with 4-7 kids aren’t rare.
Japanese pedophilia is disgusting, and the government is JUST NOW beginning to arrest people for creating drawn depictions of it.
With today’s Millenials, the US could end up like Japan very soon.
They are totally desensitized. Many parents are taking naughty pics of their own kids for the legal underage magazines, panties and such.
it screamed “RAID??!!!” loud enough to topple buildings in Kobe
Mothra
What? No one ran up to you and put flowers in your hair?
Lol. San Francisco has one of the LEAST amounts of native San Franciscans living in their own city. The City by the Bay is populated by Other Americans, so if there is cesspool, it's imported from the other 49.
It DOES have the highest number of banks in the state, maybe the rest of the country. The banks bring jobs. People flock to a city where there are JOBS.
Housing is expensive, but it's VERY expensive ALL OVER the Bay Area. It doesn't get cheaper until you hit the deserts or the "pucker-brush" towns. That would be in the central valley, full of crops, crop dusters, crop dusting pollution, bugs that eat crops and lots of fresh fruit and veggies. MMMmmm.
But, I admit, I haven't been to Japan. It was too expensive. I went to China. I traveled over much of the world, lived in the middle east for five years...and when we came home for good (gone 5 years) I KISSED the ground of this blessed country. San Francisco has almost every place beat....AND it has a Japan town where I can eat ALL the delicious Japanese food I want. I don't even have to bring a samurai sword with me.
BTW, since the lefties have managed to convince much of the insane world that homosexuality is okey-dokey, the gays have MOVED OUT of the City by the Bay and have gone all over the state and country, where they are accepted as normal.
It’s the world’s normal cycle - repent and obey God, receive the blessing, take the blessings for granted, mock God (via perversions of all sorts, but mainly by setting yourself up as your own god), and then reap the whirlwind... then the whole thing begins again. Eventually, though, it’ll be the last time.
