Yikes. Well Viets aren't great, but better than Pakis or Nigerians

2018-09-17 00:52:45 UTC  

Man this world just keeps getting worse and worse doesn't it?

2018-09-17 00:52:59 UTC  

I have a guy in my office that is Japanese-American he always goes on about how clean and nice it is and that everyone has health care. I got him to admit yesterday that it was due to homogeneous population and that culture is downstream of biology. I was honestly scared to stay it, but felt I needed to speak up.

2018-09-17 00:53:07 UTC  

Japan is hopelessly overpopulated, they absolutely need this "thinning".

2018-09-17 00:53:38 UTC  

@Tyler0317 I agree, but the Japanese government is obsessed with economic growth.

2018-09-17 00:54:24 UTC  

I toured Japan in 2010, they have many forests and farms, but yes the cities are crowded. If every urban Japanese family had double the current apartment space they would be much happier I think.

2018-09-17 00:54:49 UTC  

@Tyler0317 I thinning is no good if it's not equal across the age classes. They are thinning on future workers.

2018-09-17 00:54:58 UTC  

More robots, more marriage. No immigrants

2018-09-17 00:55:42 UTC  

Necessity will drive innovation.@micbwilli
they'll be fine

2018-09-17 00:56:17 UTC  

The 65-69 age group was the biggest in 2016. 2rd biggest 40-44 and 3rd biggest 45-49.

Same guy made a stink about how blacks commit more crime due to poverty and said most people didn't understand the statistics. He didn't get the outcome is maintain when you stratified the groups by economic status, but I wasn't gonna touch that one at the time.

2018-09-17 00:57:27 UTC  

I feel for the Japs, honestly. WW2 was their last ditch effort to acquire space for their population.

That empire gone, they have no choice but massive overcrowding, and a slavish work ethic.

2018-09-17 00:57:48 UTC  

@Tyler0317 They need to start making jar babies. They are smart and can figure it out.

The death pyramid.

2018-09-17 01:00:54 UTC  

At least Japan works hard in the direction of automation

2018-09-17 01:01:15 UTC  

Rather than bringing in foreign workers

2018-09-17 01:04:35 UTC  

This is not new, but it is pretty funny. I've seen so many articles like this that were serious.

Japan is to cocaine as western civilization is to meth. Sure it's not as bad, but it's definitely not the model society. Still sick to it's core and completely corrupted by globohomo consumerism. Yukio Mishima tried to warn them.

2018-09-17 01:09:26 UTC  

I didn't know coccaine was big there

2018-09-17 01:09:39 UTC  

I wish my brother and dad wouldn't do Japan... 😢

2018-09-17 01:10:48 UTC  

is it too late that I was planning to do Japan?

2018-09-17 01:10:55 UTC  

am I infected already?

2018-09-17 01:13:35 UTC  

Anime is really odd, and I say that even as a fan of many series. Very few series have casts resembling Yamato Japanese in any way. Most anime characters are overexagerated Europeans or otherworldly aliens (pink, blue, green hair).

2018-09-17 01:14:57 UTC  

oh. I meant I was planning on visiting there sometime

2018-09-17 01:15:10 UTC  

Is it really that they liked early Disney and TinTin so much?

2018-09-17 01:15:20 UTC  

mostly so I can see the nihongo's yamatodaishii and proper castles in the south of the country

2018-09-17 01:15:53 UTC  

Osaka Castle is cool. Nara and Kyoto are really crowded in the summer.

2018-09-17 01:23:25 UTC  

I would definitely visit Japan, but I would stay in the rural areas or wherever the cool castles and traditional stuff is.

2018-09-17 01:24:02 UTC  

The castles are usually in the town centers. The towns grew around them

2018-09-17 01:24:10 UTC  

There are exceptions of course

2018-09-17 01:26:44 UTC  

>rural areas
I'd rather not deal with a bunch of nihongo farmers who are going to yell at me in rice language

2018-09-17 01:28:29 UTC  

i didn't mean quite *that* rural. just not Tokyo, maybe...

2018-09-17 01:28:50 UTC  

I don't even like cities in places i *do* speak the language.

2018-09-17 01:30:56 UTC  

Go to Hokkaido

2018-09-17 01:31:10 UTC  

I didn't make it up there last time I was in japan and am still butthurt about it

2018-09-17 01:34:29 UTC  

Same here. I made it to Mt Osore which was cool, I wish I had seen Disetsuzan (sp?) and Mt. Rausu

2018-09-17 01:44:17 UTC  

Tokyo can be pretty neat, but i've always wanted to go to Kyoto and Sapporo

2018-09-17 02:16:54 UTC  

I go to Japan frequently. There’s no need for foreign workers. They have enough to do make-work things we would never do, like have 6 people direct you around a sidewalk that has been diverted around a building being constructed. Service is amazing, and it is highly functional. And yes to someone’s point earlier - having 140 million in a mostly mountainous archipelago the size of Montana would seem to justify a lower population.

2018-09-17 02:23:34 UTC  

They seemed pretty fine last I was there. They understand their birthrate is falling, but at least so far, haven't considered replacing themselves as an option

2018-09-17 02:26:36 UTC  

@ophiuchus I've heard concern trolls kvetch over talks in Japan about importing immigrants
