Posted in: Hayao Miyazaki says Charlie Hebdo drawings of Muhammad were a mistake See in context
It's not Miyazaki's fault, I highly doubt conversations like these is common in Japan, in other countries, they have to deal with the subject more and have come to the conclusion that if one group wants something censored then everyone else wants something censored. But I don't think that Japan, which deals very little in the middle east wars, have had much to talk about when it comes to the conversation of islam and censorship

I imagine that the incredibly high number of attacks is correlated to China's incredibly high population. If China had a population of 500 million, the attacks would be halved and if China's population were doubled, the cyber attacks would be around 80%

Sometimes as an America, you sort of feel happy that the right wingers in this country actually learn and evolve from their stances on civil rights, gay marriage, evolution, and global warming, it seems like Japan's right wing will never evolve no matter how much generations go through.

If anyone actually pays attention to Japanese women, they are some of the most surprisingly talented women ever, some of them write excellent stories and some of them are wonderful musicians whether it be the woman who wrote the music for Castlevania or the women who wrote music for the metal gear solid series. So please don't put AKB48 up there, show some REAL talent from REAL Japanese women.

Anti-immigration is simply equatable to how rich snooty millionaires don't wish to associate themselves with poor people. Rather than working with societies and bringing us closer together to make lives better, just leave the hooligans to themselves and let me live in peace in my million dollar mansion.

Seriously? Romney and McCain fought tooth and nail to get away from George Bush as much as possible, the RNC 2012 didn't bother asking most of the people on Bush's cabinet or Bush himself to speak at the convention, the tea party despises Bush. What makes Jeb think he could possibly win?

This article is not written for the intentions of racism, if anything, the fact that they pivoted to the testimony of some of criminals and their lack of money shows that poverty and lack of education is why these people turn to crime, it's not like, just because they are Vietnamese, they commit crimes, it's because they come from impoverished and uneducated backgrounds and the article points that out well

Right, because blind patriotism has worked so well in America, from invading Iraq to waterbaording. Many Japanese people should realize that Patriotism is the reason America dropped the bomb on Hiroshima and won't apologize for it.

On one hand, it is sad that over there, you can be sent to jail for freedom of speech, on the other hand, it is nice to see a society and culture that takes it's media seriously and doesn't allow it to run amok with wild and insane accusations that don't need to be fact-checked or punished for ever being asinine or wrong.

Don't ALL capitalist countries in some way do damage to the planet for the sake of money and profits? China is the biggest one but you can't name me one Capitalist country that hasn't hurt the planet in the name of profits and capitalism, so this isn't necessarily new nor is it exclusive to the Chinese.
Deforestation, over fishing, pollution, and oil drilling all happen in every capitalist country. The problem is the system and lack of regulation

There's a difference between someone who killed someone and then committed suicide, and someone who wanted to commit suicide and then decided to kill someone in the process. You can't assume that he killed himself from guilt, the suicide may have been the ulterior motive

Posted in: One in four Americans want their state to secede, but why? See in context
Alot of these secessionists only feel this way because Obama is in office, no one is actually serious about secession like Quebec or Scotland, it's all just a phase that has no real meaning, alot of people who want to secede are just unbelievably spoiled and don't see how good they have it in America.
Secession SHOULD be about whether or not a state would be much better off independent rather than a means of spiting the current holder of the office, and I would assume 1 in 4 would support secession, but just on a different side if Ted Cruz or whoever becomes president in 2016, Americans will never secede because they aren't serious about it, it's just fake and false hatred, if you want to fix government, then fix it, but secession is just a child's reaction

That's the problem, drakedogma, China will do business with everyone no matter how high the bodies are stacked up. We have to have some sort of world standard for human rights.
Have you seen the countries the US have been shaking hands with that have committed such horrible crimes? America has no standards, they will betray you if you're a threat, but be friends with you if you're an ally, and the amount of people you kill in your home country has no effect on them, just remember Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam Hussein. America has made deals with various evil countries in the past for their own benefit
I'm not taking a pro-china stance, I'm just saying that MOST countries have a better foreign policy than America, which by the way is using drones to bomb innocent people, calling the women and children collateral damage, in the name of fighting terrorism, yet all that does it intensify hatred and keep the war on terror going because we kill innocent people, I can't remember a time China was using drones to blow up innocent kids abroad.
