Thou shalt hate thy neighbor unless they're Canada.

Originally posted by Dykes_on_Jay I love Japanese people. The hatred for them here transcends anything you can imagine.

Can you blame them, though?

The Japanese government is like two guys trying to make friends over the world - except one of them has clear anger management issues. So, when the nice one says "Sorry about the evil stuff we did, we were going through a phase, our bad!", the other one fist pumps the air yelling "WE REGRET NOTHING!!!" and the first one is just too polite to say "Shut up, Carl!".

Needless to say, nationalist governments are all too eager to say "See, guys?! Look at Carl!", undermining everything the first guy tried to do. It's all Carl's fault, the bastard

Actually, there was an Anti-Canada wave in Brazil in the late 90s-early 00s. It reached critical mass when Canada banned Brazilian beef due to "mad cow disease" (never mind the fact we've never had a case), and protesters actually took a living cow to the Canadian embassy and tried to moo mow down security to get the bovine in Canadian soil.

The ambassador, politely enough, opened the gates and let everybody in, saying something that sounded innocent enough in English ("We're going to accept the cow, and we shall enjoy the cow") but that, in Portuguese, meant the cow could soon make its debut on Pornhub.

So, yeah, Brazilians used to hate Canada (I'm willing to bet we all forgot about it), and to this day I want to know if anyone had the heart to tell him what he said in national television

It freaked me out when I first read it, but then I remembered real dolls and sexless marriages aren't exactly unheard of in the West either... And they probably find it just as puzzling there (reason the teenage daughter in the article found it repulsive at first).

If you do the maths, even if they sell 2 thousand real dolls per year for a decade, that's just 20 thousand real dolls in a country with more than a hundred million people... I guess you can find more people who have paid for a registered copy of WinRar

...

The one thing that freaked me out there though was the otaku-idol relationship. It wasn't unusual to see magazines with nubile idols targeted at middle-aged men with poor social skills. I mean, I'm all for May-December relationships, but even I found it a bit disconcerting.

How normal can a country be that had two nukes dropped on it and have been repeatedly attacked by hundred foot anti-hero lizard?

On some scale it's at least more normal than the country that dropped those bombs?

He has a point, Pete. When McArthur imposed a new constitution on the Japanese after WWII, he actually made a lot of stuff about Japan more similar to other Western nations than the US itself (ex.: there's Universal Health Care, or something closer to the NHS than Obamacare and whatever preceded it; it has both a head of government and a head of state, which is common Europe but rare in the Americas...).

Originally posted by Lira You didn't notice that? Tobacco consumption in Japan is way higher than in both our countries. I don't know if you need to speak the language to "catch" these things, but the smokers' area in restaurants are quite foggy and smelly precisely because there's quite a sizeable share of walking chimneys This is true though. Japan and Korea are the slimmest countries in the OECD, according to the organisation: I'm often told it's because of their strict diet in school, where you aren't allowed to buy "extra" lunch. I haven't got any numbers to back this claim, and it may well be just a myth.

i wonder how they stay in shape albeit eating so many carbs, mexicans as well.....and they say soda is more readily available in mexico then water is ..so they are basically forced to drink unhealthy ...bottle water should not cost the same as pop...thats what fucks people up.

Speaking of pop check out this popcorn app it’s changed my life!
