You're right about Japanese cars being imitations of European ones. They are reliable as hell, but nobody really lusts after one, just people on a budget. Anytime a westerner gets some decent money for a car, they don't bother with Japanese ones.

Price controls??!!

What the hell is this, North Korea?

We live in capitalist democracies. There will be winners and losers. Any other 'utopian' system just creates far more losers and massive human rights oppression. Jesus, the 20th century is replete with examples of that.

Sorry, why should MY TAXES go…

Why doesn't this woman have any kids yet? What the hell has she been doing for the last 20 years or so?

No sympathy for her at all.

DOn't marry a man who doesn't have the sense to take out life insurance on himself. It's kinda Darwinism in action if you think about it.

Not much sympathy here.

I would never come to this country unless it was on business. What a joke of a place as a tourist destination.

Need temples? stick with mainland Asia - it's cheaper and the people actually smile more.

You're right about the cheesiness factor - I can't stop laughing when I see the ads for their productions. Plus, I thought the ones who played the male roles were actually lesbians? What's the deal there?

the two gaijin in this picture are just how the Japanese want all gaijin to be like. They are model gaijin, so to speak.

But yes, this is an awful photo - it's actually funny
