interesting , thanks LL , what ever the Japanese call it some Americans would probably call it intimidation .

When I lived outside Toyko in the 70's we would take the train downtown to the Ginza for a show and
supper. We walked all around the Ginza, which is the entertainment district, in the middle of the night.
We never felt threatened or anxious. The crime rate was miniscule.

[ralph]

yep , that's what I hear Steve , low crime , few guns and obedience of the Japanese people !!

[planosteve]

Most of the information given Americans about the Japanese during the war were lies and propaganda. Just like the Muslims today.

Do they walk softly?

Do they walk softly?

Most of them are very thin if that's what you mean.
The Japanese are the most meticulous and hard working people I ever met. And honest. The best employees I ever had by far.

the Japanese were subservient to the Emperor and the Shogun Samurai warrior class and thats just off the top of my head , Japan is not a free country as Americans think of a free country . Back a few hundred years ago they were disarmed of swords and weapons same as they have been disarmed of guns . I mean , Japanese are nice hard working people , they make some nice machinery but I wouldn't want to live in Japan !!

Japan is as free a country as the US. In fact their govt. is set up practically identically to ours. Their
Keynesian financial system is even more irrational than ours. Also, their immigration policy is even stricter than ours. That is a big problem now because of the very low birth rate. I really enjoyed living there. The main problem is the language. But, that's not their fault.

[ralph]

like I say , I'm talking off the top of my head , no links yet and I gotta go to the doctors . Anyway they don't have a Bill of Rights that mirrors ours and no Second Amendment so that's enough for me to label them as Inferior . Lots of other things concerning the powers of their police and courts but hey , Japan is Japan , its a first world country that builds some nice machinery and so the Japanese can do as they like , I just wouldn't want to live there . They wouldn't want me either !! Good thing about the Japanese though is their immigration policies , imo !!

[planosteve]

It's possible to enforce a restrictive immigration policy when your on an island. That's why it works there. But, that's also why they are literally a dying country.

They are smart enough to not encourage massive immigration of Welfare cases, and enemies of their culture.

You have to take some bad with the good. But, Japan is going to become a small 3rd world country. That's a hell of a price to pay for cultural purity.

[Red Oak]

A large third world country is preferable ?

[ralph]

I'll take the small homogenous third world country any day and everyday !!

[planosteve]

Actually, Japan would be better off with a smaller population. The cities are "teeming". Not as bad as India, but pretty close. But, you need younger people to do the work. I expect they will collapse economicly first. Their "FED" is actually worse than ours and they are going to destroy the Yen before long.

[ralph]

good , cheaper machinery when they collapse !!
