DownriverDem [Moderator] 08/26/2010 05:52 AMSad to say, he's righit. It all goes back to the dumbing down of our educational system starting in the 1970s. We are reaping what we have sown.How else can you explain the ignorance of so many Americans when it comes to the issues of the day? They operate on an emotional level that plays into the fear and lies of the repubs.They totally lack critical thinking skills. I find it a total embarrassment.
boutet [Moderator] 08/26/2010 04:38 AMWell, Ozawa san is correct, however having done business with Japanese nationals for decades, they themselves are quite childish (not childlike) in many ways. Just read a Japanese periodical with the obligatory color page depicting a nubile Japanese woman, much less a Japanese comic and you will understand. Americans may be the most politically ignorant people on earth but in most cases it is far better to transact business with an American than a Nihonjin.
unsean [Moderator] 08/26/2010 03:26 AMWe're not "monocellular," but come on. Just look at Tea Parties, the way we appear to be handling the situation over the Moslem cultural center being talked about in New York (I refuse to call it "Ground Zero." That term in my mind is reserved to Hiroshima and/or Nagazaki exclusively), Glenn Beck, and Fox News in general and it somewhat easy to see where he's coming from.Then again, seeing how Japan treats some of its native peoples (those individuals that live on islands like Okinawa) and the way that they like to slaughter animals like dolphins and whales for "scientific purposes" (which I always assumed was breakfast, lunch and dinner) then I suspect that he's talking out of his arse.
