Tokyo? That weather girl on NHK is hot

[lmr]

In other words, before the majority adopted faceless and souless urban living.

Technology is ruining people too. Faceless and Souless people everywhere on the Internet and also piped into our TIVO and our cell phones. Vacuousness and Apathy are at an all-time high.

[tsowellfan]

It’s because we’re flooding the nation with too many immigrants and not giving enough time for them to absorb our culture so unknowingly our culture absorbs some of theirs and not all of it good.

Lots of hot girls in Tokyo! Why do you think I came here?

[SpaceBar]

If every American citizen were subject to the scrutiny of law enforcement as a matter of routine as described in the article, the screams of government intrusion into our private lives would be deafening.

I know plenty of Assimilated Americans who are nothing but a bunch of worthless cell phone and internet zombies. They care nothing of their fellow man. They don't have to pay attention to him, anymore. They have their entertainment, you see.

Oh well, I am “retired”, but every word you say is TRUE!! ;-)

[dsrtsage]

Uhhhh, I don’t get it....the author first states that it is not cultural, but then goes on to explain that it’s entirely cultural.

[tsowellfan]

Yeah I know what you mean. We got those people here too. I wish Benjamin Netanyahu would look at our constitution and see how illegit Obama is and warn him to step down just like Obama did to the Egyptian President.Maybe we could get a new President sooner. Just a dream, I guess.

I was talking to a bartender in Hawaii, about 20 years ago, about the japanese. He said that when a group of japanese travelers walked up to the bar, if the first guy ordered, he could pretty much plan on making the same number of that exact drink as there were people in that group. It is as though the concept of the individual is virtually foreign to them.

But if you are not one of them, it is, uh, different. If they defeat you in war, you are lower than their pets. Which is what allows them to perform the acts of brutality they are known for.

They are like klingons, completely foreign to the American culture, and contrary to the author’s claim, his own article provides all the evidence necessary to point to culture as the cause of their behavior. They may not loot their home town, but...

[Ronin]

I told the spouse that the day I stop looking, she can shovel me in a hole and fill it in.

[tsowellfan]

If they defeat you in war, you are lower than their pets.

Yeah but it's been so long now since they have had or won a war and now new generations. Do you think if, for example, North Korea attacked them and somehow Japan won the war... do you think there would be the same torture and treating them as a dog as you mentioned? (of course I know it's unlikely Japan would beat N. Korea - but just an example)

Or do you think they are more civilized now?

How is Tokyon compared to Hong Kong? Ever been to Bangkok or Saigon?

[Ronin]

Tokyo is ultra-modern, highly sophisticated, extremely clean and very crowded. I haven’t been to Hong Kong since the 1970s, but I would imagine it is much closer to HK than Bangkok.

I love Bangkok as well, but it’s nowhere near Tokyo’s league as for as cleanliness, sanitation and safety is concerned.

Never been to Saigon.

Northerners and Southerners in Italy can’t stand each other, and they all hate the Sicilians. The far northern reaches of the country are much like Switzerland and Germany, and think of the southerners as swarthy, shiftless grifters one step up from a Gypsy.

[freeangel]

“The United States was very much like that when everyone carried a firearm, everywhere.”

It was also pretty much like that before hyphenated, multicultural diversity pc crap.

[tsowellfan]

Yeah I can tell Tokyo must be really nice. I've been to Bangkok and Saigon. Nice places but as you say... they would not be able to match up to the standards of Tokyo.

Don’t you all remember in Louisianna everybody was looting, even law enforcement had a hand in it. The animals were raping and pillaging to streets; remember the famous picture of the black guy walking through the water with stolen beer with a huge grin on his face?

[Gene Eric]

It’s about the propensity of one’s DNA notwithstanding the fact that all “cultures” have proven their unique abilities to commit the greatest of atrocities.
