On China's Rising Hatred Of The Japanese, And Why The BoJ Just Doesn't Get It
It is becoming increasingly evident that Japan is attempting to use monetary policy to paper over the cracks of imploding foreign policy decisions. The 'storm in a teacup' that has brought China and Japan into fierce rhetorical battles over the Senkaku (or Diaoyu) Islands is having far more deep-seated impacts on the people of the two nations - and implicitly their buying habits. Unfortunately for the embattled Japanese - they are the ones in need far more than vice versa. As Bloomberg reports, discrimination against Japanese is increasingly common in China, as the head of China's Honda plant notes, he’s "never worked in a more hostile place." The dispute over the islands is raising resentment with bars and restaurants showings signs at the door saying, 'Japanese are barred from entering.' "Wherever I go, like department stores or in taxis, people ask me whether I am Japanese," and the reaction can be frosty. Simply put, no matter how cheap the Japanese make their cars by explicitly devaluing their currency, the largest auto market in the world (that of the Chinese) will not be buying; summed up rather bleakly, "I don’t really care about [car] brands,... but there are cars I won’t buy -- the Japanese ones. The reason is simple: Diaoyu."
A sign suggesting no entry for “Japanese” is seen on a notice board posted outside Feng Bo Zhuang diner in Wuhan, Hubei province on April 22, 2013. Asked about the sign, “My boss thinks the Japanese are way wrong on the Diaoyu islands issues, so he decided to put up the sign,” said a manager dressed in a Kung Fu master’s outfit who identified himself only by his family name, Zhong. “It’s also our way of marketing, because Chinese people were all angry.”
Via Bloomberg,
...
Discrimination against Japanese is common in China, according to Yasuhide Mizuno, the head of Honda’s venture in Wuhan, ... says he’s never worked in a more hostile place.
...
“Wherever I go, like department stores or in taxis, people ask me whether I am Japanese,”... When he says yes, he said, the reception can be frosty.
Mizuno’s experiences in the city, site of one of the bloodiest battles of the Sino-Japanese war in the 1930s, illustrate why sales for Honda and Toyota Motor Corp (7203). have yet to recover since violent protests across China seven months ago.
...
Japanese carmakers are continuing to lose share in the world’s biggest auto market.
The future of Japan’s car companies in China “is tied to Sino-Japanese relations, and there isn’t much one company can do through marketing,”
...
“I don’t really care about brands,” Chen said as she checked out the gleaming models on display at the Shanghai Auto Show. “But there are cars I won’t buy -- the Japanese ones. The reason is simple: Diaoyu.”
...
First-quarter China deliveries for Honda, Nissan Motor Co. and Toyota (7203) fell even as overall Chinese car sales rose 17 percent. The share of Japanese brands dropped to 15 percent, versus a peak of 23 percent in 2011, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers.
...
Japanese expatriates are still turned away from grocery stores, but not as often as before, he said. The Wuhan Tianwaitian Golf Country Club is always booked when he tries to reserve a tee time, he says, though it’s better than simply being told Japanese aren’t welcome on the course, as was the case a few months ago.
...
“I hope relations will improve so we can have a better business environment.”
...
But with Japanese government officials again visiting the Yasukuni Shrine -- a ritual seen in Korea and China as tantamount to paying homage to war criminals -- the automakers and their employees continue to suffer collateral damage.
...
Mizuno said. “This is a tough time for us to live in China.”

Yawn....
Wake me up when they post a No Niggers sign
They would be kicked out of African oil lands if that happened. The Japanese need the Aisan Equivalent of Martin Luther King.
Vietnamese hate Chinese as much as Chinese hate Japanese as muchs as Korean hate Japanese as much as Japanese hate Chinese and Korean, but slightly less than Korean hate Chinese. Korean and Vietnamese don't have a chance to hate each other yet. Give them time.
The good thing is that Chinese food is good, So is Japanese Sushi, So is Vietnamese Pho but I loves me some Korean BBQ, can't we all just get along and hate the right people, the Bankers/Goverment Parasites!
The hatred is not rising, just being uncovered after a period of hibernation.
Was trying to Edit but Fukushima beat me...
Edit: Seems they all dislike Filipinos because they consider them mutts, (from what other Asians tell me) but my Filipino friends consider themselves Pacific Islanders, weird stuff.
When a Nip or a Chink can sing freakin' Journey like Pineda, then I will believe that Flips are Asians...

"Simply put, no matter how cheap the Japanese make their cars by explicitly devaluing their currency, the largest auto market in the world (that of the Chinese) will not be buying;"
Not going to happen unless the BoJ starts printing steel and oil. Significant labor cost reductions are unlikely, unless the Japanese start paying their workers in the US or China in yen. And it seems unlikely even Japanese people costs (whether wages or pensions) will fall much behind their inflation rate, which will rise. The social outcry wouldn't fly there.
Their QE is an across-the-board default on crushing debt, mostly at the government level but with corporate debt along for the ride. Good luck trying to roll that over once investors catch on though. The rates should be awe inspiring.
if the chinese werent over populating the earth in order to destroy the world through consumption, they wouldnt need islands.
Problem is, pussy is so good in that part of the world. I'm doing my bit for over-population. They're doing their bit. Are you doing yours?
Socratic Dog go suck a big dick!
Chinese buy German and Korean import cars,electronics,media.
Haven't seen one Japanese import there.
This, in part, comes from skin color.
Chinese culture associates dark skin with lower classes who work in the fields.
This is why light skin is a symbol of beauty in that part of the world. The Chins don't use tanning beds.
Having lived all over the region, I have a hell of a lot more respect for the Filipinos that I do the Chinese.
They are far more honest and friendly.
Their fighting styles such as Kali and Silat are ruthless and deadly compared to that emerging from China.
You would do well to think twice about fighting a Filipino. You might get your ass kicked.
fighting is for those whom brains havent developed to verbally work through problems.
Talk cannot solve all problems. Been there, tried that. No one HAS to listen. Put another way:
Think about what to say as someone tries to bury an axe in your head.
We have to practice our rethorical skills to discuss the missile lounch with Predator drones .... me thinks .
Fourchan, some fighting styles are an art. You would do well to show some respect.
"some fighting styles are an art."
And some fighters are artists...

that's really cool ebear. I appreciate the link
Ah, a good 'american' thread.
The capacity of 'americans' to process any event through their 'american' mantra is unmatched. The world must revolve about their conceptions. Apart from that, it is not an 'american' world.

This on an article reporting about growing frictions between China and Japan.
Concordly, one could think that Japanese are darker skinned than Chinese to match the 'american' claim.
Oh, wait, are Japanese? Dont ask the question.
Any situation must be processed through an 'american' guide lines. As 'americans' have raised racism in an institution, everyone else must do the same, even when it goes against the most obvious fact. After all, 'americanism' is human nature. So 'americans' say.
Your evident lack of mental capacity to process even simple thoughts is unmatched, too.
Your Chinese Citizenism inability to self-indict, and acknowledge the pervasive and centuries if not millenia-long record of rampant racism in China, is rather dramatically on display once again.
Remind us again, which country has been the refuge of foreigners and immigrants since its founding, and which is the one whose citizens refer to non-natives as "foreign devils"?
When seeking symmetry with the hypocritizenism of Chinese Citizenism citizens, when has to reach far, impossibly far. No comparison, really.
Make me laugh.
Remind us again, which country has been the refuge of foreigners and immigrants since its founding, and which is the one whose citizens refer to non-natives as "foreign devils"?
_______________________________________
It is hoped that this country painted as a refuge for foreigners and immigrants is the United States of America?
The USofA has been indeed a big refuge for Indians and negroes, added to all the restrictive immigration policies that have been going on.
The US of A is just an 'american' colonial endeavour.
Even by 'american' standards, 'americans' do not own the land as they stole it. SCJ admitted it.
Bear with it.
If the USA are an 'american' colonial endeavour - where the hell did those 'americans' come from, in the first place?! Something in your logic does not fit ...
It is known by history that the 'Americans' waged a war about the King of England to gain supremacy and impose their 'american' views. This is where they came from.
Dont you know that or as an 'american', you are forced to deny that most obvious fact in order to avoid facing 'americanism'?
In the US, they celebrate that event as a national day, it is called 4th of July.
Remind us again, which country has been the refuge of foreigners and immigrants since its founding, and which is the one whose citizens refer to non-natives as "foreign devils"?
It is known by AnAnonymystically rewritten history that George Washington time traveled to pre 1776,July,4th Easter Island to sink those guys down there.
That is the act of faith required to be a full Chinese citizenism citizen.
Words on paper are words on paper. Fiction is not reality.
AnAnonymous farted from his mouth and this came out:
Ah, one favourite of mine. Wonderful.
Save yourself the efforts as I can see you coming: you are going to speak about off topic countries.
Countries, equals some countries and not the countries.
Propaganda is the most tried job in the Chinese citizenism world. Many want to make a living off it, very few are elected.
I answered to questions. An 'american' wanted to paint the US as a refuge for foreigners etc
At this point, he wrote about off topic countries.
But as an 'american', commanded by double standards, you were unable to signal him he went off topic. And had to report the off topicness on the answer to it.
The way 'americans' work, the way their eternal nature drives them.
Your circumvention does not count as an answer at all. Get used to some standards, kid.
AnAnonymous, backpedaling and offuscating:
Woooo, big comment.
Long empty rant. He simply floats his boat.
Made me laugh.
How's Tibet doing these days, odl chap?
Propagandists argumentation is growing more pitiful each time.
Actually, it is even no longer propaganda, but fantasy. Chinese citizenism citizens are building a world of fantasy.
Yes, it is not an 'american' world.
That's true: It's a great world. Much, much bigger than you are able to comprehend. Get a clue!
AnAnnoyingUs anally leaked this fecal tidbit:
But you are constantly telling us that it IS an "american world"!
www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-04-24/chinas-rising-hatred-japanese-and-why-...
Behold the insanitation of the Chinese Citizenism troll!
Of course it is an 'american' world but as fantasy is the ultimate shelter for 'americans', they have to imagine other influences.
Even when those influences are as non credible than that chinese citizenism thing...
There is simply no bounds to your hypocrisy and inability to acknowledge, or even recognize, your own logical fallacies and contradictions.
I am firmly convinced that we are not interacting with a human here, but merely a spambot or some other kind of automated response program. No human is this retardedly autistic and contradictory, not even the Keynesians.
AnAnonymous, caught contradictating himself again and trying to avoid self indiction, scurries about thusly:
Well, well, well. My, my ... that is called severely projecting.
That is even caricatural.
You replace a word with loose meaning by other words with loose meaning. Now your kittens are coming home to roast.
Bear with it.
Fantasy is not the least of it, no, not even one-thirteenth.
The Chinese Citizenism propaganda bits being conflatulated with reality here are in fact in a whole new realm, that being dementia and schizophrenia. Mental pathology parades in a cheap and flimsy sweatshop-made feather boa, its makeup running down its grimy cheeks in sordid Alice Cooperism.
Alas, alas, a tripod of alas, I can no longer be made to laugh.
"Yes, you can!" ;-)
whole lot of hate going around
And not a one is clever enough to understand that their hatred stems from their own governments using propaganda to cover up their own shitpiles.
Ahhh-sooo
How dare those Japs devalue their currency!
The Chinks wonT tolerate that for long!
All of the kumbaya is American college campus myth. There is still plenty of loathing across borders in Europe too.
Racial hatred among Asian ethnic groups is far, far worse than most Americans realize. Bull Conner and MLK were best buddies by comparison.
This reminds me of what P.J. O'Rourke said about the Koreans, something like, 'They hate everybody, and they don't even like each other very much. They're like the Irish of Asia.'
Hey Isodope...go fuck yourself
did you tell Iso that because he quoted an unfunny douche like PJO
or what he said...
thumbs up for PJ O'Rourle diss...
LT
what he said
Racial hatred among Asian ethnic groups is far, far worse than most Americans realize....
actually the manipulation of racial frictions amongst them is far more prevalent than most anyone realizes...
stoking the divisions between groups whose natural inclinations are to compete peacefully through trade not war has been a specialty of the 'far-eastern' foreign policy experts of the moneychanger caste since the days of the EIC...divide n rule...dissimulate an conquer! Most of what is happening now is China re the Japs is a policy-driven outgrowth of the kinds of pressures Japan has lived under since 1945...western spooks playing their strategic games for gains...
as two of the increasingly few cultures not mongrelized by mixing of peoples that more often than not...just doesn't work out...(cf. North Merika)China and Japan are on the short list for extermination. Cultural and racial hegemonists (cf. tiny terrorist statelets with massive WMD stockpiles)are always unhappy to see barriers to their successful infiltration of societies to parasitize and pillage.
On a recent visit, I had the opportunity to enjoy a stay at a Japanese built, and formerly owned hotsprings resort in China...now popular with the moneyed-class of Chinese. Gone was any whisper of "Japan"...but the aesthetic impulse and style remained the same. It got me to thinkin...
Long time gone, Buddhism flowed from India, over the Kunluns to Kashgar, the Gobi, and onto China...then Korea...and Japan...influenced(as in enriched!) at each stage by the cultures it encountered, and sent onwards -...this time the dedication to design and production excellence of the Japanese is a powerful spiritual influence flowing back west in appreciation of the powerful spiritual legacy given over to them centuries past outta Shakyamuni's sojourns.
Now the flow is simply returning home...step by step...to once again enrich each other...if the parastical pharaseutical powers that own the west can be simply made to leave them alone!
actually the manipulation of racial frictions amongst them is far more prevalent than most anyone realizes...
________________
What manipulation?
Japan is an 'american' forward base. While 'americans' can not bear a military encroachment off their coasts(see Haiti or Cuba), it is expected that the Chinese will see the flare.
Amusingly enough, it must be reminded that the Japanese People voted in that government to end the US American occupation of the island. But US Americans simply did not listen to the demand of the Japanese People. The Japanese minister in charge of ending the occupation was fired and the island is still occupied.
'Americans' run a business of extorting the weak, farming the poor. It comes with mandatory behaviours and considerations. One is that you cant simply let the extorted and farmed walk off as long as they have something to be extorted or farmed.
It is an 'american' world and it is the way it works.
Whose "forward base" are you trying to be? Just because it doesn't work your way doesn't mean it is an american world. It just means you are doing wrong whatever you are doing!
Whether it works my way or not would not mean it is an 'american' world.
This is an 'american' world because it is an 'american' world.
Your tautology doesn't establish any conclusion.
More AnAnonymous drivels:
Finding justification of one's ways in other ways is nice but still it comes with a price. A price that Chinese citizenism citizens are not ready to pay as they keep saying their ways are best when they find justification in others' ways.
So please take into account reality and provide a new stream to justify.
Looks like you have overstrained him ...
Chinese citizenism citizens are not ready to pay?
So now, there is more than one chinese citizenism citizen?
Well, fantasy is fantasy.
Talked like a tough guy.
Racial hatred among Asian ethnic groups is far, far worse than most Americans realize.
_______________________________
Going to be fun.
Racial hatred among Asian ethnic groups... Ummm, well, arent asian ethnic groups by 'american' definition members of the same race?
Once again, the whole inconsistency of the 'american' social engineering is once again knocking at the door.
Now if 'americans' residing in certain countries of Asia want to take the 'american' path, they need to take the 'american' route of social engineering: find their Indians and Negroes so that it is more profitable to gang up on those Indians and Negroes rather than going against each other.
Your thinking processes are clearly contaminated by river pig effluvia.
It is not the American definition of race that is in question here, retard --- it is the Chinese people's OWN preceptions, biases and bigotry that are being discussed.
But while on the topic, tell us again how the colonized Tibetans deserved their fate, being only "half-man, half-thing" according to ancient Chinese precepts.
Chinese citizenism citizens cant even come to terms with their own history. Have always the need to craft fantasy to invent stuff.
Even frequent toilet stops to squat on the roadside cannot stop the Long March of Citizenism Insanitation, nor impede the Great Leap Forward into Offuscation.
When handling pearls of wisdom, do not cast them before floating river swine.
As long as the americans won't need to take a route of social engineering comparable to the "long march" of your beloved leader, everything should turn out fine.
Not only 'Americans' did it before, they did it better.
'Americans' reign supreme in certain departments.
Going green with envy?
Running from the facts again, I see.
We need a cleanup of spilled citizenism in aisle five.
And a hypocritizenism decontamination squad for the entire building.
80 percent chance the human species goes full retard within 10 years.
Same old, same old ...

Abe Denies Japan Invaded Asian Neighbors
In a further lurch to the far right, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told lawmakers on Tuesday that he does not believe Japan's occupation of other Asian countries during World War II can be considered "invasions."
Not a word from Obama... What's next... Merkel saying the Nazis didn't invade France or Poland, they just went there on vacation??

And today EST is April 25 in NKorea, it's ARMED FORCES DAY... they could launch missiles... or April 31, when US drills ends...
A LOT is going on in Asia...
You should set up a blog...

Well yes since April 31 never existed...
The real date is April 30... or April 29 EST time.
Exactly, hence the sarcasm.
Thanks for the links, helped confirm some of my conjectures
Many thanks for the links.
George Washington could learn a thing or two from your presentation of relevant, recent links.
If he actually said that then holy fuck. That's.. Insane.
Insane. Well, not exactly...
unless you count the unending control and manipulation of Japanese politics...and politicians...by (so-called) western powerz as 'insane'...
more likely it's to be called 'mind control' as in... MK Ultra for Asians...these phuckers never sleep...next conflagration in 3..2..1...
The economy is imploding exploding falling apart stalling and the lawmakers are talking about rewriting history?? You could not make this stuff up.
Come on, good old honest Abe is behaving the 'american' way.
Japaneses are 'american'. Just like the other 'americans', they have a unalienable human right to deny everything, especially the most obvious fact. How could they be 'american' if they could not behave that way?
Just the same way US Americans denied they stole the land, or fabricate stories to claim that their colonialization process has been benefitial.
'American' must do 'american' things to be an 'american'.
How else could they express their eternal 'american' nature?
Declaring everything one may doesn't like that much as 'american' is not very convincing.
But it IS hypocritizenism, not to mention insanitational, so one can expect no less from the stale propaganda of a Chinese Citizenism troll.
Ah, again,the topic of passion.
It is about loving, hating etc
How 'american'
The observation of the permanent use of denial as done by 'americans' has nothing to do with loving/hating something.
It is only a basic observation.
'Americans' denial of the most obvious fact is to make a statement, a statement about who is the boss and who is not. It is about domination.
'Americans' are hooked on power and domination. At this point of history, either they manage to cling to that or they disappear. There is no way back.
AnAnonymous vomiting more word salad:
Many have troubles coming to terms that freedom in their mouth is just scam to serve their own propagandurbatory interests.
Will you come back from your insane unfounded view on the world or are you trapped in the maze of your imagination and can not cope with the real world?
When the sun expands into a red giant star approximately five billion years from now, incinerating and destroying the earth, will 'american eternal nature' still prevail among our star-tossed atoms?
AnAnonymous rorshart test:
Welcome to fantasy world. Try your luck with Disney or something, their writers suck and you definitively have the talent for fantasy.
Japanese are so 'american' that usually 'americans' accept to blatantly lie on geography to tell of Japanese as 'americans'.
So often, Japanese are told as being part of the western world when it is so obvious Japan is located in the eastern world.
But since western world is meant to mean 'american' world in an 'american' mouth...
The fantasy is to report Japan as a western world country.
The reality is to report Japan as an 'american' country.
But, hey, another sign of the 'american' addiction to fantasy.
Of course you would never regard reporting Japan as a japanese country a feasability, right?
AnAnonymous, projecting again:
Funny as funny since the only one telling of Japanese as 'americans' is this AnAnonymous guy.
Sounds dangerously close to self indiction.
this hatred goes deep and so does the Chinese memory.....when the time comes there will be a reckoning......
That's correct. The Massacre at Nanking, China, is just one example. It occurred around other parts of China.
on December 13, 1937 during the Second Sino-Japanese War. During this period, hundreds of thousands of Chinese civilians and disarmed soldiers were murdered by soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army.[1][2] Widespread rape and looting also occurred.[3][4] Historians and witnesses have estimated that 250,000 to 300,000 people were killed.
No reputable historian ever estimated anywhere near 300,000 people were killed. Certainly no reputable source for that number has ever been produced (do not bring up the Tokyo Trials, those proceedings were a joke by any measure). Chinese love to harp on about what Japan did to them but can't seem to remember how many died in their own internal caziness. Pure bullshit. Saying 300,000 dead is like saying the British killed 10,000 in the Boston Massacre or ten million Jews were killed in the Warsaw ghetto... horseshit.
Everything I've read suggests that 200,000 is the low end estimate.
Concur. I've read 250-300K killed for years now. And we must never forget the japs were so brutal in Nnaking that even the freakin *Nazis* there were utterly horrified at their savagery.
THen there's the atrocities of Unit 731, like 50 Dr. Mengeles on PCP, which is hardly ever taught in US schools. And never EVER even *mentioned* in japanese history books. Hmmmmmm...odd. Wonder why that might be...
Both of you might try reading a primary source document, written by people actually in the city at the time, rather than regurgiating bloody Chinese propaganda.
Start here, a survey written by probably the only person qualified (both temporally and in education/background) to actually report on the events you claim to know so much about http://www.history.gr.jp/~nanking/LSCSmythe.pdf
I do not know what the numbers were but it was really bad. I learned that nearly half a million soldiers were in China after we took down the home islands. I tried to find out what happened but history books never mention it. I asked some Chinese and most had nothing to say about it except that Mao and Chang Kai Shek did not care about them and went after each other. If there was really so much bitterness you would have thought that none would have made it out of the country alive but there is no record of any fighting except some help for the Russians in Manchuria. If a half million were killed, you would think there would be copious records.
It is a matter of skin colour.
.
So far, you failed.
Oh, you mean like the US "mudskin" president Obama, as you referred to him previously?
An 'american' must have said that...
I'm stunned by the sheer force of your argumentation!
Indeed, it was the greastest proponent of US 'american' Citizenism ever known, its founding father, its George Dishwashington in fact --- YOU.
Hai hai hai.
Yet no reckoning will be forthcoming for the Communist Party of China which is resposible for the worst genocide of the 20th century - against its own people. Gotta love the left wing!
http://www.scaruffi.com/politics/dictat.html
My understanding is that Mao managed to starve 42 million Chinese peasantry in just three short years between 1959-62 than the Japs ever dreamed to kill during their eight-year-short war with Chinks. And Mao was less harmful than the Japs to the Chinks?
No, but Mao just starved 'em. Sacrifices to his insane ego - China's history is full of mad Emporers, and Mao was no exception. Unlike the japs, though, Mao at least didn't a) conduct medical experiments on women & children b) practice vivisection of live prisoners in the name of "research" c) breed thousands of bubonic plague rats, and turn them loose in a chinese city - resulting in (est) 50,000 horrible deaths.
It os conceivable that history may someday partially excuse Mao's atrocities as a function of his insanity. Hell, the goddamn commies in Russia are already starting to re-erect the old Stalin statues. The japs......nope. It wasn't personal with them - just business. So which is worse? Raw numbers or the most evil motive?
China has had a long horrific history with Japan....

If there is a "terrorist" attack in Japan by Chinese extremists or vice-versa, I'll bet a buck there will be three guys on the scene with tan pants and boots, black backpacks, and a skull insignia hat. By coincidence.

I doubt it - the Asians aren't so pussified that they have to pay off gullible patsies to blow shit up, they'll just man up and go to war if conditions require it. Unlike the west, which tends to only attack countries that CANNOT fight back properly...they had to starve Iraq for over a decade before they had the balls to invade, and even then they couldn't hold the country...
Japanese were building a Co-prosperity sphere in nanjing
Let them blow each other up. I could care less. Take Korea with them. They're all racist as bad as it gets.
How do you think Russia would feel about all that?
WWII - Even the youngest learn about the occupation or invasion. The hatred is if it happened yesterday.
Blobbing-up bigotry and hypocritizenistic behavior are the hallmarkings of perfidious Chinese Citizenism.
In Chinese Citizenism, the group is all. Collectivism is in the blood.
All others are "foreign devils". That is, when they are not "half-man, half-thing".
The Tibetans know all about that.
Make me laugh.
Funny because I could say the exact same thing about the Japanese - minus the Tibet stuff.
When the Chines asked the Japanese if he was...I was thinking .."how do you tell the difference"..they both look alike to me...
I was thnking that too.
But of course, should the patron pull down his pants and start crapping on the sidewalk, his Chinese nationality would instantly be revealed.
On the east coast of china, there's no genetic difference, too much mixing. Cultural... huge difference.
Having lived in Japan and visited Hong Kong I can tell you there is a difference in the women. Japanese women have flat asses(mostly) and Chinese women have nice bubble butts(mostly).
I have a Japanese friend in China who gets by well enough telling them that she's Korean.

“Human sickness is so severe that few can bear to look at it. But those who do will become well.” - Vernon Howard
“It’s bizarre that we are all marching towards the guillotine with eyes wide open. We can hear the sobbing. We can smell the blood and as we get one step closer to the executioner we’re still asked to leave a tip in his jar. These are indeed some strange times we live in.” – Anonymous
“It’s all more evidence of the intractable nature of the problems facing the world today, when those supposedly in charge cannot allow themselves to admit even the most obvious truths that strike anyone with open eyes right away. The US is as corrupt as the governments it is supporting. It is going to bankrupt itself in the process. It is going to destroy the dollar. It is destroying freedom in the US. And the average American is going along with all of it, just like the average German did in WWII.” – Doug Casey
“The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to govern. Every class is unfit to govern.” - Lord Acton
“Between the ages of 1 to 20 years, nearly half (49.2%) of all American children will, at some point, reside in a household that receives food stamps.” - Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine, 2009 (It’s more now.)
“With food stamp use at record highs and climbing every month, a program once scorned as a failed welfare scheme, now helps feed one in eight Americans and one in four children.” - New York Times, 2009 (It’s now one in 6.5 Americans)
“If the citizenry cannot replace a dysfunctional government and/or limit the power of the financial Aristocracy at the ballot box, the nation is a democracy in name only.” – Charles Hugh Smith
“The situation is like this: they hired our parents to destroy this world, and now they’d like to put us to work rebuilding it, and, to add insult to injury, at a profit.” - The Invisible Committee, The Coming Insurrection
“This is the new America. It is an America where economic and environmental catastrophes converge to trigger systems breakdown and collapse. It is an America divided between corporate predators and their prey. It is an America that, as things unravel, increasingly sacrifices its own.” - Chris Hedges, Katrina, All Over Again
“Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes.” – William Gibson
“The terrible danger at the heart of our society is that the tests are giving way. We are altering, not the evils, but the standard of good which is the only standard by which any evil can be detected and defined.” – G. K. Chesterton
“Tis the times’ plague, when madmen lead the blind.” - Shakespeare, King Lear
“As the collapse becomes palpable, if human history is any guide, we like past societies in distress will retreat into what anthropologists call “crisis cults.” The powerlessness we will feel in the face of ecological and economic chaos will unleash further collective delusions, such as fundamentalist belief in a god or gods who will come back to earth and save us.” – Chris Hedges

That quote by William Gibson is among the best. Constantly questioning my sanity and psychological state of being. It's a necessity, but so true that we need to check our environmental and social context. Thanks.
if three people agree on anything, it must be wrong...me
100% of people who avail themselves of health care will die
While I feel sorry for the ordinary Japanese, especially the younger generations who are really nice from those I met and like the rest of us masses are in the same boat up shit creek without a paddle, the country has been living in cloud cuckoo land for years, you can delay the inevitable but it's still going to happen eventually if you keep your head in the sand.
Young Japanese are nice folks. Young Chinese are stupid and one dimensional. Only few think outside the box.
Conformist – like American students in the 1950s. Stupid – not at all.
International comparisons show them to be among the best students in the world.
exactly, Elvis will be there in a couple of years...
then the beats...
then the protestors...
then Henry Kissinger...chilling...

Young Chinese are practical and cutthroat. Young Japanese drunk the American koolaid on being cool while living in daddy Sarariiman's house jacking off to anime and videogames. Too bad no one one told the Japanese that Americans (at least the one percenters) back it up with oil and drones.
And don't give me that one-dimensional crap. American and Japanese hipsters are just as conformists as the Apple factory workers, only more conceited.
I was a close acquaintance with one (room mate) young lady from China. She used trickery to get her. Shifty and willing to commit crimes to get rich is what I observed.
One-child policy may have created a generation of spoiled brats in China. Her parents talked to me on Skype with her interpreting; very humble and polite, he was an artist who had to be in the military and work in labor rather than practice at his gift. She spent a year in the military, working in the field and getting to know physical discomfort first hand, fatigue, working in adverse elements, hunger, pain.
Yes. She had high hopes and her dreams are to be accomplished here, very confident, it was like Christmas for her everyday just being here. She was a bit like a bull in a china shop. When we were doing the dishes, she had a long blade inher hand and was washing it with her fingers, I guess washclothes are rare in China? Anyway, she was moving her fingers up and down the sharp side of the butcher knife, looked up at me slowly and smiled. Creepiest thing I ever saw. I had to get her out of here. And I am a Canadian by the way. (Her: Americans...Canadians...same thing)
You'll not get a 30 day notice for the debt collectors. It's not going to happen like that. The seriousness of this situation and the heavy security which shows clear contempt toward all of us, should make one look beyond this and see if there is a strategy being put into place. I am probably wrong. But it'salways best to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. That's what I would do. You have to look at common ground, goals and who owes who. This is a very precarious position for any nation.
The US government is just as happy to promote Japanese warmongers against China, as the Chechynan extremists are promoted against Russia.
The US has never ended the military occupation of Japan, and still holds strong influence over Japan's foreign policy.
US policy (Asian pivot) is to have Japan re-arm (with weaponry purchased from the US).
A depreciating Yen benefits US financial interests. Keeps the dollar looking "stronger" relatively. Japanese products cheaper. US indebtedness to Japan diminished.
NWO will fix all of this hatred and prejudice. We will all be one human family. It will be just like in the USA, one big melting pot. (or is it really a pressure cooker?)
Debka reports today that 500 Europeans are fighting in Syria - Can someone define European for me.
Rhinoblitzing,
As some who spend first 12 years in northern / central Europe it's easy; European are people in Europe that follow Sharia laws.
Thank God for thje Globalists! Just like in 1984-all we have to do is obey and they won't torture and kill us. Now we may have to share our wives and daughters with Party officials -but that's a small price to pay for security and a bowl of soup and potatoes each day. What a deal!
Hi Savvy - its a better deal than you nhink because you also get to put all your wealth in their hands for safekeeping. It doesn't get much better.
History matters. Consider reading about Japanese 1931 invasion of MAnchuria and 1937 'rape' of Nanking". For starters.
Then look into WW2 Japanese Unit 781 biological ressearch intended to produce selective effects on particular races of beings [whose research directors were forgiven their war- crimes in exchange for their research results turned over to US Navy representatives].
Memories matter.
