socialists by majority

The demand for bigger government is mostly driven by increasing population density. The higher the density the more rules, regulations, taxes, and restrictions on basic human rights is required to make it work. Because Japan strongly favors robots over importing third worlders their population density has peaked and they will become increasingly conservative.

Welcome. Do you know what a ‘natural born’ citizen means? What does your study guide say?

[ Someone on there said that we’re all socialists by majority. That would be like me assuming all Americans are all brain-dead idiots. When I know that’s not true. Just a generalization. All silly talk aside, That is not true. I am not a socialist, anyway, I do know that. ]

I think some people may confuse some aspects of the strong cultural social unity in Japan with socialism. It has been a long time since America has seen strong cultural social unity.

I say I was impressed after the Tsunami in 2011 how much community pulling together to rebuild and rescue there was compared to some of the natural disasters in America where there was looting instead.

I know but It was, with Shintoism, kind of a forbidden topic following WWII.

I'm just guessing but I imagine its now the Japanese equivalent of the Confederate flag.

[ Hey: Bushidō, (武士道?) literally meaning “the way of the warrior”, is a Japanese word for the way of the samurai life, loosely analogous to the concept of chivalry. ]

Yes it is sorta roughly analogous to chivalry with Knight = Bushido with Samurai , i think.

So.. the “grl” part of your name...

Grill?
Growl?
Grundle?
Grapple?
Grovel?

Really, using the proper letters can help a lot.

Grackle?
Groogle?
Grimy-L?

Speaking of the aging population in Japan a while back I looked at the decrease of the farming population and demand for farmers and agriculture jobs in Japan. Being someone who grew up on a farm I sorta looking into this as an alternate plan if I needed to get out of the USA to someplace that needed some of my skill this may be an option if Japan deemed me worthy of working such a job (something I respect in a country is their vetting of people like me) .

Because I am a firm believer of the “way of the warrior” that japan has been away from for so long. It is seen as primitive to most, but I like it.

A hearty welcome Tomoko.

You will like it here. Lots of gunowners who can answer any questions you may have.

Since it is after sundown where I am, I'll bid you konbanwa.
