1st answerer: are you on CRACK or something? You didn’t know Chinese people are half White? LOOK at our physical features and see WHY.
1st answerer: f – uck you. Chinese people have physical features halfway between Whites and Blacks. We are TRUE biracials, AND our might shows our genetic superiority.
1st answerer: f – uck you. True we were closed for thousands of years, but we started out as TRUE biracials because we are descended from ONE biracial couple, and that was about 20,000 years ago!

> free and open national and local elections which are very competitive across several parties, ruling party provides prime minister in the Diet.

> national health care, full coverage at $125 per month (upper middle class income level compared to US), no rejections.

> 3%-5% unemployment ongoing, during most recent US-caused recession maximum at 5.6%:

http://www.tradingeconomics.com/Economics/Unemployment-rate.aspx?symbol=JPY

> under 10% personal income taxes (mine are 6%, above-average income level)

> 40% corporate income taxes

> 22,000 licensed lawyers as a cap with little to nothing to do (0.01% of population) (while US 1,200,000 lawyers or 0.4% of population) – people solve their own problems rather than working-class leeching courts.

> public transportation provided at no charge to all workers – paid by employing companies (PLUS – I have never needed nor wanted an automobile, and instead save ALL the plethora associated costs, taxes, and fees)

> oligopolized, inter-cooperative banks operating under missions “to benefit society” rather than “to earn profit” (no working class gouging ATM fees) (no checking accounts to gouge workers) (low interest and generous forbearance)

> setting 10% product price mark-up typically across-the-board by sellers (voluntary based on honor and missions “to benefit society”), heedless of fluctuations in demand – effectively discourages consumer price gouging.

> subsidized staple food products to the end consumer, regulating ongoing fair pricing.

> no abusive sin taxes (cigarettes at ~$3 a pack since 1997, exact same brand price at ALL vendors).

> most equitable wage distribution in the world ([a] of course extracts threat of executive thievery/ [b] worst is the US and UK) (executives earn double staff salaries across the board)

> lowest crime rate in the world (due to no rich class oppression) (AND only 1.8 police per 1000 people vs. 2.85 per 1000 in the US)

> even the very, very few homeless in Japan WILL NOT beg – perfectly debunks vacuous accusations that socialism creates dependency, and rather displays that socialism heightens personal honor.

> free to carry a beer into a theater or onto a train (just threw that in to exhibit daily freedom from fascist abuse) (Why can we do this? We can because (1) law books are logical rather than oversize for working class thievery, and (2) competition is not a forced philosophy here.)

> $28 trillion in national savings ($13 trillion of which held by households):

“As far as government debt is concerned, we should not worry about it for at least another three to four years. Accumulated government debt is very large, close to 190% of GDP, but the financial wealth of the Japanese household is 300% of GDP in gross terms. Even in net terms it is around 240%, so we still have room to finance government debt… The Japanese purchase 94% of Japanese government debt, so this is not an unhealthy situation at all. It is much healthier than the United States situation where close to 70% is being purchased by foreigners. However, the Japanese savings ratio has come down; it is below 5%, and the amount of government debt is increasing much more rapidly than savings, so we cannot have this kind of situation for long. Maybe within the next five to ten years we need to have fiscal consolidation. Within the next five to ten years we should raise the consumption tax.”
- Mr. Eisuke Sakakibara (a.k.a. “Mr. Yen”) / Former Japan Minister of Finance / July 2010 ]
P.S: I’m a Filipino working in Japan and I’m proud to be Pinoy.
@flipperr

You see, Japan is an export country. Everything here in the Philippines are mostly Japanese.

Playstation = Japanese
Toyota = Japanese
7 Eleven = Japanese
Anime = Japanese
The underpass at Makati = Japanese
MRT = Japanese

I wish we Filipinos would do the same thing as the Japanese, rather than hanging out with (foreign) dirty old men.
@ragdefender

True China is the 2nd largest economy in the world behind U.S.A and in front of Japan. But in reality, the workers in China are overworked and underpaid. But in Japan, the people there have a higher standard of living compared to people living in China.

Obama is a disgrace to our men and women in uniform. There falling moral shows for it

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/Afghanistan/article6888996.ece

These are indisputable facts. Obama is surpassing Carter for worst POTUS ever. Prepare for the 2010 revolution.

Even if they cut everybody’s taxes by $2000 per year, you can’t hire anybody with money like that.

If they’re thinking about corporate taxes, companies have already shown that they’d rather sock away whatever money they can rather than hire workers.

The Bush stimulus of 2008 was supposedly going to create 600,000 jobs

http://uk.reuters.com/article/telecomm/idUKWAT00920220080331

It created none whatsoever.
Many of you seem to assume that extra money is going to be spent on hiring, even in the current economy, when experience suggests that people are trying to put funds away in fear of things getting worse, which is in turn making things worse.

These are monopolies and they are evil. The bible warns us that in the future China would come to power and that a persons wage would be nothing but a few cents.

The best way to reduce our dependence on oil and to clean our environment while taking us to the future of technology is to find alternatives to oil. The best way to do it is like this.

I knew I wasn’t the only one who felt like this. Shouldn’t we put an end to sweatshop labor caused by American Monopolies who want to overthrow our government?
Since the government won’t do a damn thing about it then the American people should. Its time to stop buying sweatshop products and let them go out of business.

["Unless you write it on a post-it note and put it on top of a book of matches, everything stays around and it can bite you," said a hedge fund manager who asked not to be named.]

[Also the arrest of the Bear Stearns managers might finally drive home a message to everyone using e-mail -- everything they put in writing can stay around forever.

Chief compliance officers at larger hedge funds have long warned portfolio managers to be candid but careful. This case should reinforce the message.]

Notice that the focus is not on acting ethically, but rather NOT GETTING CAUGHT.

I think this speaks volumes about the mind-set of Wall Street.

longestj…400 people were NOT arrested for “making poor decisions” or “making mistakes”.

They were arrested for criminal acts.

There bosses however seem more concerned with the fact that they left a paper trail of hard evidence rather that with the fact that they committed crimes.

Is Waldo Obama a lying piece of you know what?

The labour force contracted by 661,000. This did not show up in the headline jobless rate because so many Americans dropped out of the system. The broad U6 category of unemployment rose to 17.3pc. That is the one that matters.

Ted Kennedy rented a brothel for a night while on an official visit to Chile, according to declassified FBI files.

The late U.S. Senator is reported to have invited one of his chauffeurs to participate in the night’s ‘activities’ during the 1961 stay in the capital, Santiago.

My question is this, other than false hope and false promise of change, what serious plan is there to help recover america from this crisis, if nothing, then why should we assume it will get better, when was the last time anything got better on it’s own, or by just sitting and waiting?
Henrik Last, you’re delusional, keep dreaming, but mark my words; in 10 years time, you’ll wish you had given more thought about it today.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

ndmagicman who said anything about republicans, the current president is Obama, what is he doing to fix the economy, is he even capable of comprehending what is going on, I doubt it, neither his words nor his actions are an indication of his ability to comprehend s**T.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Deb M, you don’t know what you’re talking about, so what bush did this or that, the thing is Obama can’t do anything, he isn’t even capable of understanding what is going on, let alone to come up with a solution for it, there is no way this economy is getting better, day by day it’s just gonna get worse, just watch as the USD loses value, and cost of living keeps rising. Have fun sitting and taking it, while constantly complaining about a guy who did his term and is now gone.
