Japan simply reacted over the latest US crisis, it will continue to invest in the US as its not money it is after.
An "American nationalist" should know that when someone makes fun of his country he should'nt roll down his pants and bend over...., you are not dictating international policies here, here are the bored and venomous ppl of society discharging their stress, that's all. So stop to pretend you are an American, that mask fell weeks ago.
Actually, my standards of being an American are far superior to your expectations of what an 'American' is. I was born and raised in this proud country of mine, in our nation's first capital and city(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). I grew up admiring Thomas Jefferson and the rest of the Founders, the challenges they faced(both geopolitically and morally) were beyond their time. The Republic shouldn't have been founded, we shouldn't have won against the British yet they did it anyway, in the face of overwhelming odds. I then expanded my political viewpoint into Sacred Europe, and the founding place of the Third Position and I can confidently say that I have the intellectual acumen necessary to not only be a Patriotic American, but a statesman for this Nation. Perhaps their being bored and venomous might be acceptable to you and if the joke were in good taste(or even if it were in bad taste, let's say at least if it were in some form of humane bad taste), I wouldn't necessarily care. But being venomous towards others, doesn't necessarily help our image nor does it make it any easier for us to make the world a better place. Especiallly a joke of that magnitude. It would be akin to if Akuma said "I hope another 9/11 happens" or something. But, I don't take your criticism to heart. Unlike Benjamin Netanyahu, I'm not a racist nor a fear monger. I take pride in knowing that whereas Jewish Racism is out in the open(well, as open as can be given the silent U.S/World Media), at least our "supremacist" groups are locked within the shadows of politically protected speech. Before questioning my Americanism, you might want to question the validity and indeed the heart of the Jewish State. Where's the "grace of god" in the hatred espoused by your beliefs in supremacy?
Pretty much every one of your radical rabbis, your religious doctrine and of course actions speak much louder than words. You have the entire Western World "negotiating" on your behalf. Just, what, exactly has Israel done for itself geopolitically? If anything?
Well, we dont cower to bomb what needs to be bombed for one, and our Holy men dont condenm seculars to Hell so you can learn from that as well
We've not keep people in an open air concentration camp for 60yrs. We do not bulldoze their homes and kidnap their children. Not that I am making a case for the British establishment here, which I cannot stand. There is simply no comparison between Israel, the US and Europe. Nil. The latter two, due to subversion, work to ensure Israel don't follow any international laws. Best hope that is always the case and never ever changes. Ever.
Everything he said, what you guys do today, the Western English Nations last did in WWII(and in America, 1964 behavior). Your xenophobic attitudes are 49 years(and next year it'll be a full 50) outdated.
Yeah, no kidding. Then we maybe ought to talk about Japan's own debt which is 200% of GDP and a considerable portion of that money is owed to the United States. Must we fear for our investment, Akuma?
I agree with that. Japan prefers USA as ally over others. As USA prefers Japan as ally over others. I think some americans can´t understand that Japan is important ally for them. And you don´t disturb your friends economy.
And yet, according to Wikipedia we have a strong approval rating of Japanese as a whole(80% approval rating). I think that the one thing that differs from our countries, that would be helpful to put into context, is that Americans view the cultural world and the political world differently. They don't realize that the two worlds are the same, but whereas Americans can recognize the individual value and cultures of others, they cannot recognize the political aspirations of others, let alone our own aspirations. We ourselves live in a closed off world, a political delusion of our grandstanding world power. And perhaps, for a time it was true. But I have to go against the crowd: We're no longer a world power, we're a military power and there are decisive differences between the two. A world power cannot fade, but a military power almost always does. We became such an established power thanks in large part to the Manhattan Project. But, who's to say the Russians aren't conducting their own Manhattan-like Project? Or other countries? An over-reliance on our military(and our degrading cultural values) will lead to an overwhelming change and difference. Americans will be confused, they hadn't seen the America our Founders built, nor did they face the struggles. Why, they couldn't even recognize the moral and economic collapse of standards that we're having. At that time, leadership will be crucial and must be a lynch pin in order to stabilize the country and to get Americans as a whole to understand a spiritual and philosophical meaning in our politics. If we aspire for true greatness, we cannot be bigoted or short sighted in our goals.
I'm basically saying I agree with you, word for word. Just subtract "Britain" and "Europe" for "America" and I would have essentially made the same post. I just felt like that was a simpler way of saying it as well as giving you a compliment.
and lest we not forget, american 'whites' are predominantly German, the biggest european ethnic group in us.
The threat to default was kind of crazy. Granted, we have a pretty corrupt financial sector in general. The public's distrust of Wall Street stems from the bank bailouts we did after the crisis. Proponents of a default believed that the long term consequences would be less damaging to our economy than raising the debt ceiling yet again. While I disagree with this position, I can sympathize with it. At some point, America will have to stop racking up so much debt. The problem is that we first have to balance the federal budget. Without that, we have no real choice but to raise the debt ceiling. So, it's not that we don't care about paying back debts. It's just that we have so much debt that a lot of people seem to believe we're best off starting over. Granted, Japan actually has one of the world's highest debt to GDP ratios in the world. It's higher than ours by quite a bit.
