The Problem in our society is, that people cannot see this!

Thats the real Problem we have in this World.

I don't like anime or manga (never did even in America, and it's quite strange now that I have two otaku room mates) but I just choose not to put any one group as a whole on a pedestal.

How is that ignorant? You said "all we see is anime and manga," and that's what apparently blinds us from seeing how great the Japanese are. Well sure, there are a lot of nice Japanese people, but that doesn't mean I'm going to take the entire country and hold it higher than anyone even from my own country, or Canada, the UK, China, or anywhere else in the world. I've met great people from dozens of countries, and I see us all as equals.

BobbyCooper 06-17-2011 05:31 PM

This is exactly my point!! You guys just don't realize it which is very sad..

People need to finally understand how wonderful these people are and not put them on the same scale like us.. thats disrespectful towards the Japanese who suffered a lot to get there. Everybody who has ever met a Japanese person knows that!

Same counts for many more Asian countries.

tokusatsufan 06-17-2011 08:09 PM

I understand I understand.

Time out!

The thing is,A] there's good and bad in every race,and B] in Britain we have a small island culture that America doesn't have.

The thing people need to realize and you need to Understand.. is that the difference between bad and good is exceptional huge!!

And Japan is good 98%!!

Go give me another country out there where people are so lovely and wondeful!

I have one South-Korea!!


It's a beautiful world with no crime and beautiful people everywhere!!

Just accept this already that this is exceptional!! And don't come at me with this Western Society crap..



People who do not or can not see the difference need a medical check and quickly!!

I didn't know Japan was into brainwashing foreigners.... How many Japanese have you met? Have you been there for even a day? What makes you so biased towards Japan? Did you fall for a Japanese girl?

Your opinions are bordering the maniacal.

I have a brain and I can see!! That is making me biased for their lovely people.

And yes, I have met several Japanese and South-Korean people.

Also something like the exceptional crime rate doesn't lie! It's absolutely amazing considering the amount of people who live in this country.


My question to you guys..

why can't you see the siginificant difference? Are you all so brain washed already or filthy by the Western Society? It's frustrating for me that people even on a Japan Forum cannot recognize the significant distinction between these worlds.

LMFAO

You a funny dude man!! Western society certainly has it's flaws and certain things that are promoted in Western societies that should be frown upon. However to disregard and to refuse to acknowledge that there is any good in any Western society is absolutely ridiculous...

And what's up with this?

Are Japanese people superior to people from the West, or whatever other parts of the world...?!?!?!

Anyways every society has good and bad sides to it....You make it seem that Japan is some sort of utopia and everything is perfect there.

P.S: How old are you? loool If your around 15ish then I guess I can overlook your ridiculous statements about Japan :p

Dude, I grew up with Japanese, and Koreans.

I am not as fanatical as you are. You are seriously close-minded. Yeah, cool, beautiful countries. Ugly histories, and some old practices are questionable.

Maniacal. Not bordering the maniacal..... just plain maniacal. You've met several people and from that you make such a general statement. What if you had met a couple of axxholes? Would you think Japan sux?

Have you been there? What kind of Japanese people have you met? Tourists in Germany or students there? First generation Germans of Japanese descent?

In this forum, you'll find level-headed people for the most part. That means people who have a healthy view of things. It seems you have too much of a biased view and that's going to hurt you in the long run....

In your "biography" you state you're open-minded.... If I were you, I'd amend that right away....

Why?!?! Why shouldn't she\he stay in Japan? So they won't dirty that beautiful and pure place?! Get real man....you sound like a 12 year old if your gonna make ridiculous claims then at least back them up with some reasoning.

I never said that everything is bad in our society not at all. But certainly shouldn't messure ourselfs with a country like Japan or South-Korea. It's ridiculous if we start doing that.

All I am saying is, that the people of Japan are vastly superiror to us, when we talk about caring for each other and respecting the human kind.

I'm 23 btw.


but you won't ever get that anyway..

How am I that kind of person? For accepting reality? I love Japan. I love Korea. I prefer them more than fellow Americans as a people, but I am not blind. Even they agree, including the prideful Koreans. Get over yourself, your ego is blinding.

You are a sad pathetic man.

You don't bother answering the questions you are asked. You don't support your statements with facts. My question to you is: What do YOU see outside YOUR window? You have lived half the life I have and probably traveled much less than I have and seen little. How can you base your opinions on such a narrow view on things? Have you EVER been to Japan? Answer me that and I'll make my opinion of you once you have.

You're turning into this year's prime Weaboo....

I don't have to visit Japan to realize this. I'm sorry!

I traveled a lot man!!

Next year I am going and I will most likely stay for 3, 4 years in Japan. I will send you a message after that and tell you that I was right, right from the beginning.

Everybody can see this and the most obvious basic stat out there is the incredible low crime rate in this country with a population of 120 million people.. it's absolutely beautiful!

Give me one more country in this world, just one where people are that way to each other.

And this is just one small aspect here which you can see even though you have never been there before. Just open your eyes!!

I have spent 752 days in Japan so far and it's obvious you don't read many posts here because you would have figured out I've BEEN THERE BEFORE....

Good luck with your trip. Let me know when you're going so I can avoid you like the plague....

Boy, you're the complete opposite of that other German who was here telling everyone to flee Japan, though you're both as cuckoo.

What does his or mine Nationality has to do with anything?

You should grow up and realize the truth!


The truth is right in front of you.. but people who don't want to see it will never see it.

Please stay in Chicago and be careful at night..

Yeah, I live in Chicago and have to exercise caution when walking at night. Do I like it? No. But that's what I have to do. And I can travel and go as I wish. And I can also add you to my ignore list, you weaboo.... (click, done!)

At least now you start to recognize one beautiful aspect of the Japanese society. It's a good start man!

and please feel free to put me on ignore. I wouldn't mind not reading your responses..

JamboP26 06-17-2011 10:55 PM

The issue purely is this. Bobby Cooper, you enter a personal opinion thread, then try to convert everyone to your view. I have found the Japanese to be a very polite & considerate people, yet I can guarantee a number of western people with the same qualities. Even so, if thats why your interested in Japan, fine. Put that, & get on with life. If someones put anime, fine. I'm sure in time they'll discover the greatness of the majority of Japanese
