Japan isn't like the lockness monster you know. We have photographic evidence and everything.
Sure, and we have photographic "evidence" for talking mice, clowns and old guys with moustaches and beard who invented chicken. I think it's pretty clear that "Japan" is a hoax perpetuated by a bunch of businessmen so they can justify tentacle porn and katanas.
I think it's clear that those things are also real. I met a talk rat. He was called dave
The question is, did he try to sell you something?

Also...wait give me a second to put this on...ok flame shield equipped, sushi is horribly overpriced and overrate for what it is. Don't get me wrong it tastes just fine and I enjoy it from time to time, but the price that people charge for it and pay for it is absolute nonsense and the fact that some people treat it as the pinnacle of cuisine just blows my mind...I blame weeaboos.
I agree with the sushi thing. *puts on my own private flame shield* I actually eat sushi at a...buffet. And yes I know, its more sashimi than real sushi, and it's more like Americanized sashimi at that. I appreciate genuine sushi, but it is just too expensive.

"At least their not Americans." really? and you didn't even spell Americans right.
I am typing on a wireless keyboard that sometimes skips keystrokes, that's my excuse. What is your excuse for typing their, instead of they are or they're? I kid I kid, also check again I am pretty sure I did not misspell that word *shifts eyes back and forth*

also for the record I am an American and that last option was simply a joke.

EDIT: ok you got me, it won't let me edit the poll. SO WHAT I BLAME OUR POOR AMERICAN EDUCATION!!! IT'S NOT MY FAULT!!!

Hmm, must be the moon radiation, then. I've seen some other talking animals. Like that ravens and crows. For some reason "Russel" is very popular name among them.

I have no opinion about Japan.

And where is Ameria? These Amerians sound like pretty lousy people to me.

I enjoy the Cracked articles about Japan whenever they pop up. If I had to list one thing I don't like about Japan is it's tendancy to rig MMA matches in favor of their fighters.

I think if you look at my previous post you'll notice that I can, and have edited said mistake. SO, I WIN BY DEFAULT!

Japan is the best country in the world in every aspect of the title with the exception of it's suicide rates, and relative xenophobia.

A small trade off as far as I'm concerned.

Highest IQ. Highest mortality rate. Highest average income. Strongest economy in the pacific. Best culture evar. Interesting history. Complex language system. Lowest crime rate. Lowest unemployment rate. Lowest obesity rate in Pacific (With the exception of North Korea, but we all know why that is.)

Japan is just a little bit better at doing everything than every other country.

I would actually really like to take a trip to Japan someday, I think I'd have a great time and learn heaps. Also, their anime and video games.

South African living in Australia here.

Bits of the culture seem bizarre to me, but then it's not cos' they're doing anything wrong, it's just not what I'm used to.
Put 'at least it isn't America.'

I'm American and I'm pretty fond of Japan, I like a lot of their stuff. Especially their food and their history.

But their seriously declining birth rate is a problem. And the whole school girl obsession is kind of weird. And tentacles should not be involved in porn. Just saying.
But then we would never have gotten Tentacle Grape. It's a soft drink.

I an pretty sure it has been proven that Japan exists. Look at this indisputable evidence we have collected from a reliable source. If you tilt your head just right you should be able to see Japan in the center of the picture.

Japan's okay, but it has a pretty bad track record concerning how it handles foreigners (Koreans are basically cheap labor over there). The Japanese legal system is complete horseshit (TL;DR: You're guilty until proven innocent, more or less) and love hotels are often front for pimps and soft-core human trafficking ops.

Not that Canada doesn't have problems, but at least we don't have inhuman sleazeballs going "Come to Japan and teach us English! It's super kawaii over there, we'll pay you room and set you up for cheap lays - I mean, we'll pay you board for a year with no strings attached! Yay!"

Corruption's also pretty rampant in the white-collar sectors. Forget all the usual stories about the Yakuza being katana-toting hardasses with designer hairdos - they're usually filing clerks with guns.

I don't especially hate some of its cultural outputs, but let's just say I tend to roll my eyes whenever I hear the usual diatribe of "OMG, Quebec suuuuuucks! Life would be, like, so much better if we lived in Shinjuku!"

Um. No. Shinjuku's borderline Red Light. Then there's the fact that foreigners outside of their workplaces tend to clique up in Roppongi, from what I've heard; so there's chunks of Tokyo where you can get by for years on end without speaking an ounce of Japanese.

I like lots of the creations and innovations that come out of Japan, and one of my best friends' family is from Japan, but when I traveled there personally, well, the people were even more arrogant than the Germans and southern Americans combined. Best not to get into details because I don't want to rant. So I guess they're ok. Yes, I am generalizing, but hey, it was MY experience and those were the facts.
