    boobug: AFAIK, the only people on JT who've said that the Americans know nothing about football have been 'soccer'-hating Americans. Real football fans already realise that the USA are high in the both the men's and women's world rankings.

    I came to Japan to join a famous European company. During the induction day, a Japanese staff member gave a presentation mainly for the benefit of Japanese newbies about how it's ok to disagree with your boss and voice your own opinions. In fact, they went as far to say…

    ihope2eatwhales: Then why not tuck into Japan's huge stockpile of unwanted whalemeat (instead of feeding it to dogs), and then hunt in your own back yard (as per 'tradition') and stop lying ?

    Patrick Smash: even as a staunch veggie I agree with your logic. However, Japan doesn't hunt whales in 'Australia's back yard' because of its 'tradition'.

    Patrick Smash: Thist time I'm in agreement with Nigelboy(!) A natularized Japanese citizen has exactly the same rights as citizen by descent. And moreover, unlike non-citizens, J-citizens are protected by the constitution. So if a citizen were barred from a job due to their ethnicity, they'd be able to sue…
