Die Intellectual comments

I really hope feminists would one day shut up and accept that life is not as peaches and roses that you protested for.

If there's one thing few people actually believe in China now, thats communism in its orthodox teachings.

Its more to do with the Japanese culture. They don't necessarily bother themselves about how things work or why. They just work with it and go with the flow.

Why dosn't USA not just shut up and let China and the rest of East Asia do their business? The US knows they are a falling empire, so they are trying to stick their business somewhere they are trying to get some attention in. Nobody listens to USA properly these days, even Japan knows too but they're only sticking with them for protection from China.

Id be more concerned about the fact that the environment is being compromised for the sake of tourism and building large skyscrapers, hotels etc

The great US empire is declining so they are trying to find friends in Asia.

This is the reason why countries need to rely less on America and more on self sufficiency.

When you say leading the power shift are you saying Asia have decided to scrap their traditional ways and become a pawn of the Western world?

Very clever women. The government needs to lower tax, shrink old age pensions, then walah

She's a liberal feminist. Not good for Japan's declining birth rate.

Oh, Japan is now screwed!

Japan = USA's sheep since 1946

China is becoming very materialistic and consumerists. Not good in the long run...

Genius has its limits, foolishness does not.

Why is it that modernisation/westernization has always been linked with "success". Is the Eastern cultures that inferior to the West? Give your traditional ways a bit of credit at least!

I find it hard to believe that Japan is still the world's third largest economy even after all these tech company struggles.

I don't think people in the West trust China as much they think...

I really don't see the point in following this. What if the student is completely stuck on the work and the teacher is not there at the present time to explain to them in a different way? They would have to wait a day and then fall behind on work when they eventually do get it. Plus, the education in the West, where I'm at the moment, are being ran by lazy students and incompetent teachers.

Is the education system that bad in Japan by Japanese perspectives? if not, don't fix something that dosn't need to be fixed.

I really find that hard to believe. If thats the case, then the whole of Northern Europe, especially United Kingdom, would have high suicide rates because of constant rain and dull skies.

This whole thing about "womens rights" has got way out of control. Firstly, there is no direct evidence that having women in jobs improves the economy, even if it did, it'll come at a cost to a family, and as Confucius once said, "the strength of a nature derives from the integrity of the home", whilst now, Japanese birth rates are falling, a damn ageing society whereas before, family and traditional values held supreme. Not anymore in Japan. Western ideas need to end and go back to Japanese glory days or risk losing your identity.
