It boils down to the following two choices:
A system which tries to prevent humans by force from pursuing their own interests, and fails (socialism).
A system which allows humans to pursue their own interests, and creates wealth, while taking into account that the unpleasant aspects of human nature cannot be changed.
I'll take #2.

If Sony says the battery lasts 4.5 hours, that means it actually lasts 2.5 hours. I'm a brilliant translator of Sonese.

Great idea, Regis Philbin of Japan. I'd much rather have some abducted people back than have millions be safer from a nuclear attack. By the way, any progress on the people Japan has abducted/ enslaved/ disenfranchised/ massacred?
I am no Japan-basher, but I think you have to either be for forgetting (or at least forgiving) everything you and your enemies have done, or remembering and prosecuting everything your enemies and you have done, or you come across as a hypocritical country (and of course all nation states do).
Posted in: Maybe what Japan needs right now is a dictator, a dictator with good intentions. If you spend your time discussing issues, then for example the abductions issue will remain unsolved. Certain things can only be achieved by a dictator. He can act decisively within a limited period of time.

I'll always enjoy the capitalist industry that has sprung up around Che Guevara, proving him wrong and causing him to roll over in his grave simultaneously.

I am probably a cretin for feeling this way, but I just want to find some Japanese literature that doesn't make me want to hang myself? Is this too much to ask?

Yunessun is an unpleasant place with lots of peeing kids, and that's food coloring for the most part.

Bush and the Republicans are the ones who have chipped away at my civil rights. But both parties are socialist anyway.

Yes, I think it is already gaining a lot of acceptance. These days I only go to work when I want to avoid my wife.

I am starting to think that no one should be executed.
They should instead be forced to perform useful labor, so they can be of some benefit to society, rather than a burden or eliminated.

Of course this is old news, but that estimated economic impact, even if it's actually only half that, is astounding.
Will the kawaii culture save all the regions? Get Ozawa and Aso on the horn...

And I thank their poor English for putting food on my table.
Posted in: The English of most would-be translators is awfully poor. Few Japanese can actually read English accurately.

I like how hard Japan tries to be prepared for disasters. It's genuine, effective (notice how not that many people die in earthquakes here compared to similar situations?), and plain admirable.
I have to say, though, the Cold War-raised child in me wants to see some missiles on trailers and a weird guy clapping slowly from Takashimaya in approval.

Dude, you obviously don't know a damn thing about Japan.
