God help me so i was like that too but i found my life was so stupid after i became so obsessed with the japanese culture. i like the japanese culter and food,language, and animation but...i have a life and i want to know that all you have one too...im 13 and im friends with the president of funamation just because i like anime. sometimes you want to look at life through the eyes of a japanese watching all these americans loving thier country to death. you know how foolish that would seem to them. most people dont come too grasp that you cant just focus on one thing in your life. im on here so i conversate about things like anime and manga and a whole lot of other things. are you on here cause of that or are you just absessed with japan...its sad to see american people walking around with those stupid little shirts that say i Love tokyo... its just really sad. thats all i have too say and if you have a problem with it than just post a comnment opposing it.

Point 1
There are more than just Americans here that are interested in Japan

Point 2
If you look on a larger scale of how many people love Japan as a majority of population, it's not as big as you're making out.

Point 3
So many Japanese are obsessed with the west just as much as we are obsessed with Japan. Do you think it makes them foolish for taking an interest in our society?



I mean yeah, Japan is different to the west. Go figure- it's a totally different part of the world with a totally different history so that's no surprise. But why does that mean that the people from one culture can't take an interest in people from another culture?

Does that mean that if one person is different to another person then they can't be friends or fall in love just because they're different? Just because a country's system is run differently to another doesn't mean they can't have anything to do with each other. I think it's good, by being interested in other cultures people can learn new ways of thinking and living. Become more open-minded so to speak.

It sounds like you're just voicing a very naive and ignorant opinion. We can all do without you telling us what we can and can't do with our interests thanks.
