Answer 1

A snob here. Don't want to click external links. But thought i'd post anyway. Don't like people telling me what to do.

Answer 2

So. Mike took a trip to the U.S. for a visit and learned all this in that short of time. His article was full of hate and "yellow journalism" I think, he had nothing good to say about anyone. Nothing objective.

I think Japan is a good place for people like him. I continue to ask, what has he ever done for his country, except bash it. He has taken the first amendment to it's fullest and pushed far beyond it. Some day he's going to look back like some have, and say "I want to go home" but, will "home" want him?

This happen recently to a Korea war AWOL that went to Korea and lived his life. When he decided he wanted to came back, we still accepted him with open arms and let him to his desires, he went to the homeland of his wife's parents, Japan and was exonerated. We still accept these people that hate us.

Answer 3

Japanese people seem to be all like clones here in the states, not that I don't like them, or Japan. No, I never see Kamikaze demonstrations like the ones he was hoping to find in the states, but they never happen in Japan either but I do agree, we are dead here with civility. Many Japanese shows make people run around like animals in mud, etc. to win a few bucks where we have game shows with a few people sitting around to answer questions for millions and the news stays boring no matter how it affects the rest of the world. I like Japanese culture, and their desire to make everything more interesting, but the US is known for business and war, not technological consumer innovations or interesting life habits. From that standpoint, the next war will feed our economy again making our culture an even stronger American way of life, the strongest, most prominent, most obvious in all the world. You could easily rewrite the article with this as the focus, and stress how Americans live everyday totally oblivious as to how the rest of the world perceives them. Boring business people but powerful war mongers, trying to gain control of all the world.
