Yay...

[MrMentalflossed]

@z0nt21 p.s. i do not divide along culture in the way you speak of,.. i do however enjoy the culture of others and celebrate the differances.

then again thats just me,.. i try to take in all the good that others have to offer,...

[MrMentalflossed]

@z0nt21 well you obviously don't know me well,.. lol

i DO advocate equality of all people,.. including japan,.. the question in my mind is what superstitions do you prefer to believe in to the extent of hating others that do not believe the same,.. ?

shrug,.. thats one area i have a hard time understanding, why people hate others for believing a seprate way from their own,.. that would be like me hating you for being a racist, i don't, i just wish you were of a more open mind.

[z0nt21]

@MrMentalflossed You advocate equality, yet you adore division in the form of "culture", national identity, or sovereignty from logic and reason for that matter.

The example of Japan is a telling one: nationalistic, xenophobic people, united in the ignorance of superstitions.

[MrMentalflossed]

@z0nt21 ahhh i see , your words give away a disturbing perspective,.. you both seem to judge peoples culture in relation to your own,.. and in some cases even dismiss they even have a culture because it does not fit your perspective,.. japan or anyplace else is made of people , all people are equal, to divide into third world first world is simply to dehumanize and thus allow for us vs them thinking. to that end injustice is born.

"that may not be the answer you were looking for"

[z0nt21]

@MrMentalflossed Their population: both culture, or lack thereof, and number of people participating in said society.

Do you think Japan is a first world country?

[MrMentalflossed]

@z0nt21 how exactly do you think these people found themselves in that position to begin with? ,..

just wonder what you think got all these nations in debt, including the usa...

[z0nt21]

@MrMentalflossed If you find yourself in a position, requiring that much cash infusion, you have already made a mistake.

The only mistake you will ever make, ignorance is bliss.

[MrMentalflossed]

there aim is for profit only , not in helping anybody , they make it impossible to pay back loans then dictate how a country must run and fund its people resources of labor.

its about power and profit make no mistake about it ,...
