  1.  @frankiegamble92 : We've domesticated and bred pigs and cows for an equal amount of time, to the point where domesticated pigs and cows would no longer be able to survive in nature without our care. Yet we still eat those.

  2. 정은수: You're ignorant! Have you even read the Quran or the Hadiths and studied the life of the "perfect prophet Muhammed" according to the muslims? The man was a mass murderer and child rapist!

  3. kama2135: Absolutely. And that's another issue that makes the issue further complicated: the fact that japanese students aren't taught about what happened. I'm not entirely sure of how prevalent it is, but from my impression, the japanese educational system (most likely under order from the government) really gloss over or ignore atrocities that the japanese government of the past has done. So many japanese citizens probably live in ignorance, which might make them feel unduly attacked by some koreans speaking out against it and react in a less desirable way that's not conducive to better relations, despite the fact that the criticism is quite valid. So I do agree with many people that the japanese government of today should acknowledge what happened more and start teaching the truth rather than try to gloss over the truth like they do now. I would argue that the average japanese person would agree that this would also be for the benefit of japan, because most japanese people of today seem quite pro-social and believe in virtues like cooperation and friendly relations and trade with other countries. And it's not like acknowledging the atrocities of the past and apologize for them out of respect of the victims would "cost" them anything. It's just the human, decent thing to do. Japan and South Korea are after all very similar in many ways. Both highly industrialized, free and prosperous societies in east asia. They both have everything to gain from improved relations and mutually beneficial cooperation would surely spring from an act of concession and public apology on the part of the japanese government.

  4. Four months is not "too long". In fact it's not nearly enough to make a functioning soldier. You need between 6 to 12 months at the very least.

  5. President Trump forced Rocketman to see reason by not dealing with him with silk gloves like all previous american presidents have. Obama failed. Bush Failed. Clinton failed. Trump succeeded.

  7. Pakistan: The country which Osama Bin Laden hid during his final days, in a reinforced compound, just a stones throw from the Pakistani military academy... Yet the Pakistani government and military "knew nothing of his whereabouts". Land of Taqqiya.

  8. They have a good reason to. Women leave men who they consider inferior, wherea's men do not leave women who they consider inferior. It's sexual dimorphism. Females seek out dominant, assertive and superior males to produce offspring with. Males do not have such criteria of females.

  9.  @rickr9435 : The first Mulan film Disney made, did pretty well in China when it was released, despite being historically inaccurate. So clearly, Disney does not need your input or suggestions. As to learning litterature from other countries: students already do that in the west. It's in the curriculum. But the Ballad of Mulan is not included, because it hasn't had much of an impact in forming western societies. Like I said: time is limited and priorities have to be made.

  11. Neo Harbison: Well... Are they wrong? Compared to violent crime statistics in Japan, America might as well be considered Somalia or South Africa.

  12. The reason why swearing is used more casually here in the west is because western culture has developed to value individualism and social independence whereas Japan has a culture that idealize conformity and collectivism. When we casually drop swearwords it's a demonstration of "toughness". We do it to show that we're not afraid of what other people might think or say about us, confident that we'll survive through skill and ability rather than through politeness. But there is a somewhat strict hierarchy involved in the practice. For instance you might be more casual with your swearing among friends, but you put on your best manners if you're in the company of your elders (like your boss at work, your parents or grandparents, or your spouses parents). It's kind of like the same thing in Japan where you bow very deeply and respectfully to seniors and adress them with honorary suffixes like "senpai", "sama" or "sensei". In certain social settings, swearing casually will reduce your social status. But in others it might increase your social status. The trick is to know when and where it is more or less appropriate to swear.

  13. kama2135: I know plenty about it. But my argument still applies, because as many people can testify, there's a lot of hate being spewed over the internet about it. But the hateful rhetoric doesn't take place between governments, it's taking place between citizens of the respective countries and that's where it's turning sour. An important principle to remember is trying not to confront regular citizens of other countries for crimes that governments have done. The issue is also very similar to what happens in Europe and the U.S. Like black people being taught (even in school) to hate white people because of slavery and colonization that happened over 200 years ago. No one alive today should be expected to feel responsible for, or apologize for crimes that happened when they weren't even born or had any means of affecting it.

  14.  @Toni-xz4xn  not necessarily. Japanese people have a really long average lifespan compared to many other countries. And seeing how this guy keeps himself fit with his training, I wouldn't be surprised if he's one of those crazy people who get to live to 120.

  15. They did the right thing. Islam does not belong in civilized societies.

  16.  @arc0613  Feminism was always about shoehorning women into positions where they do not excel at all. They don't want women to get a "fair chance". What they always do when given any power is to FORCE companies and institutions to accept more women, REGARDLESS of how competent these women are or if there are male candidates who are better and more competent. Feminism is the ideology of REJECTING competent men, in favor of accepting INCOMPETENT women.

  17. They tried "Hole in the wall" in my country, which is originally a japanese gameshow if I'm not mistaken (I don't know the japanese name for the gameshow, but it is the one where they send these giant foam walls on conveyors towards contestants, and the walls have specific cut out holes in them that the contestants have to try and fit through or else they get pushed into a pool of water behind them)

  18. David Han: I'm not korean but I just wrote a post here that I think something has to change about korean culture if children are given up for adoption for such minor things as the ones touched upon in the video. I hope such a message from me doesn't cause offense. I don't believe that I know "better", but I think all people can agree that we need to change our societies so that they don't put undue pressure on parents to give their own children up for something so insignificant as a minor birth defect.

  20.  @joanmassat8938  And men from your mothers generation faced similar inequalities and responsibilities that women never had to burden themselves with. So it balances out. Oh speaking of "one woman's testimony". As we can see in Korea right now, one womans testimony is enough to get a man jailed for sexual assault. No burden of proof, no external witnesses, no assumtion if innocence. Yet you feminists never seem to complain when women are granted arbitrary powers to send men to prison without a due process. Why is that? 🤔

  21.  @deanjay6454  Personally I have a hard time respecting people who argue from a position of complaining. It's unbecoming of an adult. People in general should be more stoic. Citing hardships of what someone had to go through in the past in order to complain about what's going on today is very dishonest. None of us argue that women and men had it better in the past. There were a wide variety of gender based injustices. For women it could be not being able to file for a divorce. But for men it could be conscription and being sent to die in a war, regardless if the man wanted to go or not. But those are problems of the past. They aren't relevant today. And women living today certainly shouldn't be given any extra benefits just because women in the past faced injustices. And the same goes for men. If you're going to tackle problems of today, they should be treated as current day problems and be scrutinized in their own context, and not by dragging up a bunch of injustices that have existed in the past but are long since gone due to new legislation. But this is what cultural marxists do all the time. They whine and complain about the past to justify their theft of today. But take it to it's logical extreme: where does it end? Human history is rife with atrocities, wars of conquest and government oppression. If we're going to run around and "give back" all that was ever taken, all of society and the world will be plunged into chaos and the majority of people who acted in good faith (for example, people who purchased land with their own money that was conquered at some point in the past) will be destitute in the process. Whatever changes we make, can only be on a "from now on"-basis. There is no valid way for anyone to "correct" the past.

  22.  @memehl4148  If there are women who are just as capable as men at physical jobs, why are the physical standards for these jobs being lowered in an effort to get more women to pass?

  23.  田中加奈と  I think you have an over-simplified view of how racism works and why it forms. People don't become racist because of silly television advertisements. Also, even if there are racists, it's not exactly the end of the world. Racism is just prejudice. All people are prejudiced in some way. I fail to see how racial prejudice is any worse than any other form of prejudice.

  24. You fix that problem by instituting reforms that financially benefit people having children. Give parents generous tax breaks, and institute reforms that permit mothers and fathers free time to take care of and raise their children, and more people will start having children. The problem with many of these societies is that they are designed to give single men and women most benefits in their careers, while parents are forced to sacrifice careers and standards of living in order to start a family.

  25. Americans need to stop being so violent and uptight then.

  26. Sacharius: They don't think muslims pose a threat by virtue of their origin. They rightfully assume that muslims pose a threat because of their chosen extremist ideology known as Islam (which advocates murder, rape, torture and slavery against the so called "infidels").

  27. Drug users are not "victims". They made their choice.

  28. I would wonder why the Japanese defense force didn't shoot it down before it passed over the country. If it had been a MIRV it could've used the overflight to scatter multiple nuclear warheads across Japan, and neither the americans or the japanese had any way of knowing what the missile was armed with on it's approach. Generally it's better to shoot down any foreign missile with a trajectory that's passing over your own country. Just letting it fly is courting disaster.

  29.  @filipinomarxist4178  People in the west who oppose cockfighting generally oppose factory farming of chickens too you know. Just because a bad practice exist in the west, it doesn't mean that you are forbidden from criticizing a bad practice in the east.

  32. What do you mean by "wealthy enviroment"? The GDP of a country can put it in the "wealthy" category, but that doesn't mean that the average person enjoys a particularly wealthy lifestyle where the costs of living are small compared to their income.

  34.  @hyltoniali257  Mao is a vile murderer and dictator. Just like every Chairman of the CCP. We all know how your monstrous government treats anyone that has objections or criticism towards their actions. Like when they sent in the military to massacre student protesters in Tiananmen Square. Or how they systematically have Uygur women raped by Han-Chinese men in an effort to ethnically cleanse China of Uygurs..

  35.  @IWantToStayAtYourHouse : That's not a good thing at all. War and conflict do not originate from disimilarities or unique national concepts. It originates from when interests of different countries come into conflict as well as ideas that the world should be made to resemble ones own country rather than maintaining the uniqueness of each country and culture. Globalism is a cancer on the world and should be opposed. Without unique identities tied to unique ancestry and culture everyone will lose important aspects of themselves.

  36. kama2135: Thank you too, the feeling is mutual. I just hope my opinionated nature doesn't come across as arrogant, being an outsider who's neither korean or japanese. (but I have great respect and admiration for both peoples) I just like to think that I try to look at the perspectives of all sides at the best of my abilities and draw my conclusions from that, and promote that other people try to as well when possible. I just try to put myself in others' shoes in an effort to understand why they think and react the way they do.

  37.  @ne0-boomer  It's tailored to mock westerners and their general ignorance of other countries. Part of the fun of Borat's skits is the fact that the western people Borat interviews and engages with often genuinely believe that Borat's presentation of Kazakhstan is accurate.

  39. Daniel Shin: So does most states in the U.S. ESPECIALLY those states that practice the least amount if gun control. Take away chicago and detroit, and the U.S ends up pretty far down on the list of gun violence. And both chicago and detroit are cities with heavy gun control. Gun control doesn't work. A person with high IQ and mathematical understanding of statistics knows this. Irrational, low IQ people doesn't.

  40. Beef doesn't taste like chicken. :P That said, birds and reptiles have common ancestors in the form of dinosaurs. So that might explain why reptile meat can sometimes be similar in taste and texture to chicken.

  41.  @mboihk3796 : No, eastern europeans are very different. Mainly because of the Ottoman Empire and it's invasions into that part of the region. The earliest russian kingdoms were founded by scandinavian vikings travelling eastwards (that includes belarus). But you're not gonna have much in common between a russian with scandinavian origin and a hungarian with turkish origin.

  43. I think deepfake porn could be a blessing in disguise that women should welcome. The more common it becomes, the less impactful things like revenge porn or a previous career in the adult industry will be. Think about it: let's say you're worried about your chances of getting or keeping a particular job because maybe you worked in porn in the past or you have an ex who couldn't deal with the break-up like an adult and decided to post intimate pictures of you online. You now have an easy way out of it. If people ask, just say someone must have lifted your face from pictures in social media and used an AI prompt to make deepfake porn of you. Even if real pictures of you have been leaked, you can blame online perverts with AI and have more than plausible deniability. The more common it becomes, the more aware employers, co-workers, family and friends will be and will probably just be sympathetic since it could happen to anyone. And if you don't have a sordid past at all, then you can blame the same thing.

  44. It's kind of funny. Japanese people don't seem to understand the humour in western sarcasm. But what they do find funny is pretty wacky and extreme compated to sarcasm which is somewhat tame by comparison. :O

  45.  @lzxcandy : Only pathetic left wing SJW's complain about "cultural appropriation". You can't own a culture. You can be the originator of one, but it doesn't exclusively belong to any individual or group. I am free to "appropriate" whichever culture I want, and no one has any legal or moral right to stop me.

  46. Chí Thiện Nguyễn: Do you deny that the Vietnamese enemies of Korea and the U.S did things like hide weapons caches in civilian villages and towns? Do you deny that Vietnamese fighers hid themselves among civilian populations and staged attacks by using civilians? There are tons of reports of vietnamese children being sent as suicide bombers by groups like the Vietcong and the like in order to kill and maim U.S and Korean troops during the conflict. It's actions like that which cause troops to consider all civilians to be potential hostiles and leads to further innocent deaths. Put yourself in their shoes. Just the day before you had soldier buddies getting blown to pieces by a civilian suicide bomber, you're in a foreign country, scared for your life and rumors circulate everywhere that there are enemy troops hiding among the civilians. Do you seriously believe that you'd be able to make sure that you or your superior officer never harms an innocent civilian under those conditions? If anything you should place your blame on the Vietnamese armed forces who were willing to resort to such underhanded tactics. The U.S troops didn't send civilian suicide bombers to deal with their enemies, and they always wore uniforms. Real soldiers wear uniforms to show which side they're on, even so the enemies know it and so their enemies DON'T go chasing after innocent civilians in pursuit of them. When you start using civilians to attack enemy troops then YOU are the one who paints a target on civilians backs, not the enemy.

  50. William Rees: That's just a typical "conspiracy copout" that you use in order to refrain from adressing the issue. Even if things were as you say they are, then more men would still have been charged with sexual assault because hardly all women subjected to sexual assault in the workplace are as conspiratorial as you paint them out to be. But the thing is, they don't even press charges. Hardly any of them do. Yet they sit and slander people in the media. If things really were as you say they are, then the women are in on it and not victims of any sort (because they enable and help to maintain this power conspiracy by flat out refusing to involve the police)
