The only good thing about Japan is that Japan created Sailor Moon which helped Chris stay on the straight path for over three decades before he finally cracked and gave in to his tranny nature. That's a pretty impressive feat, I must give them that.

Japan created superheroes that wear brightly colored spandex that go around and punch men in rubber suits that grow.

Did I also mention that the spandex people can summon a giant man in a rubber robot suit too?

Actually, the first one of those heroes was Spiderman. They gave him a robot and then it became a thing. Before that, there were these guys who turned into giants in order to fight Godzilla and other kaijuu and these bug guys who killed Hitlers made of starfish with kicks and motorcycles

It is dumb. It's so dumb when the Emperor announced their surrender on the radio the population couldn't understand what he was saying because he was using the "classical style" that they didn't know.

Basically, long story short, Japan sux

It's not so simple.

Essentially, as I understand it, the Japanese language has many, many synonyms that are honorific or formal in nature. Their politicians use these extremely obscure words in their speeches and dialog to sound impressive, important, and well learned. It also has the added benefit of being very hard to digest and hard for most people to understand. Imagine if during the elections, the candidates spoke like a Shakespearean play and you could only figure out who supports what from second hand sources. That's Japanese politics.

Ya that's why I said it's dumb

So, like regular elections.

I personally prefer this one.

I'd mentioned a few times that I was an exchange student to Osaka back in '02. Some other students and I went to a Shakey's pizza buffet for lunch one day. Unlike many American buffets, which have numerous pizzas to chose from, this buffet had only two pizzas. One was a pizza with the works. Since I don't like mushrooms or Canadian bacon, I selected the other pizza, which looked like it had been made with white cheese.

No. It was mayonnaise pizza. It was from this experience that I learned to be very, very wary of Japanese pizzas.

During my 2010 trip to Japan, my friend and I ordered a pizza one night because I had gotten a Domino's coupon in a Pokemon DVD so why not. We had to pay extra to get the "American-style" pizza (ie. marinara, mozzarella, one or two toppings, and absolutely no weird shit).

Whenever I begin to explain the weirdness of Japanese pizza to people, I like to start with the pizza with mini hot dogs around the edges.

Japan is basically what happens when you take a bunch of isolated, perfectionist racists, repress them from exhibiting individuality for centuries, and then bomb the shit out of them

Germany would be the same way except they actually have borders so they just like to yell and pee on each other, and maybe try and take over Europe every few centuries.

You know the two countries have some striking similarities. Both had a historic reverence for their military, and had a "warrior code" that they venerated. Both were and are among the most industrialized, advanced countries on earth, and both specialize in brutally efficient work ethic. Both make some mean alcohol too.

Anyway things good about Japan: Dragonball Z, some sushi, Sake, and maybe a few other anime. Apart from South Korea, I believe they're the only first world country in Asia

I guess your definition of "first world" is pretty generous. I think SK and Japan are leaps and bounds ahead of Mother Russia, and it used to be a "second world" country, somewhere between America + Western Europe and Ethiopia and Afghanistan. But maybe I am mistaken.

EDIT: There is one other first world country in Asia. Singapore!
