Each country has it's ignorance and arrogance including Japan, but I shall not go down that road.(It is not the point.) Saiyouken, agreed. If a person has the required literacy, understanding of the culture, and becomes a naturalized citizen the person should of any country. Mutli-culturalism will escape to everywhere, that's what happens when people migrate and mingle. I like Japan, but it is a country just like every other one.
By: uncomphrensive. on 15 Dec 08, 12:32:43
I totally agree with you.
By: JOHNMARCUS7. on 07 Dec 08, 22:33:37
What you have written above I agree with. If a foreigner wants to naturalize then they should put in the effort to obtain the level of Japanese ability required by law. I guess that is not asking too much of you if you want to obtain Japanese citizenship. Take care of yourself. I admire your Japanese ability, good for you. Take care now.

I don't mind the Japanese wanting to keep their culture prominent, actually I applaued it, but I think the discrimation shouldn't be brought to the streets for every gaijin they see -- considering not all Americans are rude and ignorant.
By: saiyouken. on 29 Nov 08, 15:25:48
I believe you deserve the right to vote in any country if you are awarded citenzenship of that country. Otherwise, pay taxes, obey the law but your a long term guest. Japan requires you to learn some Japanese to be naturalized then do it if you want the passport. If you don't want to study then don't complain.
By: maddingo12. on 28 Nov 08, 14:44:36
I actually admire the Japanese for keeping their culture distinct (at least trying) and not taking the ever more retarded multicultural route that drowns North America. In Canada and America, we let immigrants change our laws and culture. Its nice to see a country that has the balls to keep immigrants at arm's length and ensure that Japan remains Japanese.
By: linny177. on 18 Nov 08, 09:47:46
i am canadian... at the moment, i leave to move there in 8 days and personally i dont think many gaijin should be allowed there at all 99% of westerners are really fucking dumb, the new generations are even worse and i would hate for north americas bad habits to be picked up in japan hit the road
By: linny177. on 18 Nov 08, 09:42:43
yes almost the same thing i was about to say i hate when these god crazy nuts have to spread there religon leave people the fuck alone

do something for me, pause the video above, and skip it too the time: 3:54 let it laod a lil bit and press play for a second, those words define how you think, not others, and it is shameful too think you think your thoughts are any more "important" or "meaningful", let alone have an objective prupose, above other's. considering, they arn't, they don't, and it is blatently ignorant too think any thought process has had an objective meaning, ever.
By: coogiez. on 17 Nov 08, 08:00:37
then, why did you even make this video?!
By: coogiez. on 17 Nov 08, 08:00:33
no, it doesn't, because all those other ones did exactly the same, take some time too read them. "It is foolish to only believe in what you can see and touch and smell etc. The just shall live by faith." it is no belief, belief is like, trying too understand something untestable, it's called theory, based of substantiating theories that are based off others, it is foolish too do otherwise from what i just said, understand that.
By: JOHNMARCUS7. on 17 Nov 08, 05:24:20
The fact that Jesus rose from the dead, puts Chritianity in a whole different category. Jesus truly is the Way, the Truth and the Life. It is foolish to only believe in what you can see and touch and smell etc. The just shall live by faith.

If I become a Japanese citizen by naturalizing I will be able to vote.
By: coogiez. on 15 Nov 08, 14:51:50
it's their society, built of their ideals, from their history. and when someone comes along telling them: "you are wrong in how you perceive reality", seriously, it's reality, the basis of logical understanding, there is nothing much too it. and what's underneath, THEY have no intrest in! just leave them alone!
By: coogiez. on 15 Nov 08, 12:38:02
changing a visa statue doesn't remove the reaon the first visa followed, unless you do not preach, you're still (basically), in a general term, a missionary, as i said before: "someone who travels the world for the soul purpose too change other views so they conform too yours." that probably sounds "against" your understandings considering i don't personally address them.
By: coogiez. on 15 Nov 08, 12:23:00
like several million others, too believe that a society they don't even know about in any way, WANT their "help" in "living a more satisfying" life, by disragarding logic and rationale just too forget everything except the good things and build a sterile, boring, repetitive society. in any case, the reason you went there does not, in any way define them has having too give you the "right" too vote in their elections, regardless if you've been there five too ten years,
By: coogiez. on 15 Nov 08, 12:21:36
there are billions and billions of people, living their little lives, away from people like you, they will die like you, their bodies degrade, and thats it. i have no idea, how a person like youself, that clearly has alright personal intentions can be so obviously misinformed in someway,
By: coogiez. on 15 Nov 08, 12:15:06
like, well, i dunno. buddah, Horus i.e. Osiris, Krishna, there's, there is huga ammounts of religous texts that take the same form, and their follows, just like you, think the world's popuation is wrong, and should devote their lives too something, THEY clearly don't even know about. now, if you hink the rest of the human population stands for, or is at this moment, in a different context, like standing on a subway track, w, where, where do you even GET that idea FROM!?
By: coogiez. on 15 Nov 08, 12:13:08
i really must say. 1: you are still running of idea that these people WANT to be "saved", in your views, from something they don't even care about. 2: if i were too actually personally know something opnipotent, that would mean i'd be talking too something that, in a general context, isn't all there, and in any case, ever thought about the other "saviours"?
By: JOHNMARCUS7. on 15 Nov 08, 12:01:47
If you knew the Living God who is a loving Father the way I knew Him and knew the treasures of finding salvation in Jesus Christ, you too would want to tell the whole world. If you saw a guy standing on the train line and he didn't know that a train was coming his way because he was blind and deaf, would you not want too run and help him get off the train tracks. That is what I am doing spiritually speaking in Japan. Then once they are saved, I help them to find their "true destiny in God".
By: JOHNMARCUS7. on 15 Nov 08, 11:58:17
Yes, I first came to Japan witha a missionary visa, then got married to a Japanese National, so my visa changed to "spouse visa", then after living here for many years I got "permanent residence" due to steady employment and always paying my taxes. Who knows maybe one day i will apply for Japanese citizenship and naturalize.
By: coogiez. on 15 Nov 08, 02:28:55
you're probably a really great guy, fun, comforting, someone that another could live with in ease, but views are views, and reasons are reasons, and both are unneeded in some instances, specifically yours, specifically others, it doesn't really matter who.
By: coogiez. on 15 Nov 08, 00:47:16
"productively" defined by their views, not yours. you are a minority, in no way have any real personal history (concerning ancestors and such), be comfy, be happy, and leave them alone too their own devises and keep yours to yourself. take all what i said and a thirdperson perspective of course, what i say doesn't really work if said differently too accomodate the reduction in personal idealisation towards what i mean and how i mean it, sorry.
By: coogiez. on 15 Nov 08, 00:42:42
really, it aggrevates me too think people get confused towards the reason why they can't vote in election that in turn defines what will happen, when they, one: have no history in the place. two: need too have forms too live there. three:clearly have different views towards nature itself, which inturn defines how they act in situations. damn it, be glad you're there at all! just because you've been around and know the ropes, doesn't mean you know how too use them productively.
By: coogiez. on 15 Nov 08, 00:36:42
saying such a thing as "god loves us and has reason", first off, they probably don't believe IN your/a god, let alone recognise any reason too. secondly, a "missionary visa". you're a missionary! someone who travels the world for the soul purpose too change other views so they conform too yours. just , just don't do that! if someone is in a situation where they are in emotional destress, then give them counseling. don't use such opportunities too change their views!
