I haven't clicked the link yet, but since we both have chan, as far as I'm concerned both are equally full of idiots.

Their internet is much faster and it's free. This is a shame.

I've got nothing much else to say.

They also have less racial tension then we do

Whoops :p

But they also have school 6 days a week. o.o

But wait, their children are more intelligent and mature.

This is madness! :O

But wait! Their suicide rate is higher =|

How the hell do you even know their children are more mature, GreenKirby? I'm hoping you actually lived in Japan and can understand their language to be saying that. Also, if America took school as seriously as Japan does, then we would seem more intelligent, too.


PS. I've been to Tokyo, and while I didn't look at the actual internet speed number, I do remember everything loading nicely =)

To tell you guys the truth, this really doesn't surprise me, after all, Japan is one if not the most advanced country in the world.

I never understood the nerd rage against rap, but I ended up deciding on racism
I've got nothing against rap as a type of music, or even as the catalyst for a fashion. I've just got issues with a culture that promotes a violent, male chauvinistic, money-centric lifestyle as some sort of ideal.

For what it's worth, I've also got issues with the better-than-thou /b/-tard culture that is prevalent among nerds. I just think some people take themselves WAY too seriously.

Are you kidding? Heaps of nerds love rap. There's an entire segment of rap written for, by and about nerds, nerdcore. Rap is about rhythm and being awesome through clever word play, nerds dig that. Nerds like ironically making fun of things too, which is why people who aren't morons listen to gangsta rap; it's hilarious.

It changes on a person to person basis, obviously, but without nerds you wouldn't have the Beasty Boys.

Edit: The lifestyle kinda sucks, but don't hate on rap TOO badly.

Smooth Criminal
I listen to quite a bit of rap, actually. Very little of it is gansta rap, but there's rap there nonetheless. Mostly the rap groups and artists that make their way into the alternative rock scene (Atmosphere, Gym Class Heroes, The Flobots, Hollywood Undead, Matisyahu). Generally good stuff.

Comparing the United States Internet to Japan is like comparing a turtle to a Cheetah. Japan is way more advanced and tech savvy then the U.S. Just look at this graph the U.S is pwned when it comes to Internet speeds not just by Japan but by other countries to. I mean come on guys "Canada" we could at least beat them.

This is frigging hilarious, but also sad at the same time since Japan gets their godly interweb for free...

I had trouble finding the US among the bars, I didnt expect Internet speed as fast as this to be pitful compared to Japan.
I'd expect they get what, videos on Youtube in Seconds?

excuse me wtf are you talking about

If your Canadian and took that to offense I am sorry. But I was joking about how their internet is faster than ours according to the graph. Not by much but it is still faster. Oh and here in the states making fun of Canadians is kind of a light joke. Like making fun of Jews its not meant to be taken seriously.

what I love is the whole "japan is superior in every way" attitude that people get even though the closest they've gotten to the country is playing a video game that came from there, and assuming problems the US has don't come up there such as crime or racism that are actually relevant in more places than alot of people think.

also the ripping on canada thing is really old and not funny, nothing is wrong with canada.

yeah, being forced to go to a good highschool instead of living in slums where teachers don't give a **** sucks.
