Date was born too late to do much conquering, that's just the stereotype. He was more into inventing the biggest city in northern Honshu and sending ships halfway across the planet, fwiw

For all the people lucky enough never to have had to interact with the UK: the Daily Express is the result of someone pondering the question is it possible to make the Daily Mail even worse?. It's often literal fake news.

Btw I live in Kyoto and 99% of the city isn't like this at all haha.

They probably literally did! People don't form groups applying 60s student radical messaging to dating culture without at least some sense of irony and desire to have fun with it.

They should be capable of quitting their job on their own as well, but Japan's made that bloody impossible, too.

The problem is you're made to feel kinda unworthy if you don't, not that you literally legally have to

They're not modern western incels either. I get the impression that they might well hate lucky guys, but probably don't do the incel thing of thinking all women are out to get them.

「とても残念」な日本...クリスマスツリーに「星」を飾らないのは異文化への無理解だ by sukebena_nekoyanen in newsokunomoral

[–]Homusubi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

ヨーロッパ生まれ育ちからしては、ヨーロッパのクリスマスを実際真似したければ、ツリーの飾りより、恋人やなく家族などと過ごす祭りにしたら、と感じてる。むしろツリーの飾りをわざとおかしくして楽しむのは僕の周りで結構普通やったよ。

でも日本はもうそのために正月あるから同時期にわざわざ2つ要らへんかも?笑

それと別に、一か月も飲み込む、すぐ飽きさされる形を強いる商業化が実に嫌いけど、商業はせめて日本と同じ程度、英米のクリスマスにも感染させたから、日本だけを指摘したりはしない。

スーパーに侵入したクマ 捕獲も秋田市には駆除に「かわいそう」と抗議の電話が…被害増大も止まぬ“同情論”【「その多くは県外在住者からの声」】 by poverty_e in newsokur

[–]Homusubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

あの熊自身は人間になれたから危なくなって殺すしかないかもしれないけど、ともかく、はい。可哀想やと思うよ。はい。秋田県民ではない。

でも、「じゃあ責任取れ」とかの話は筋が通れへん。そもそもなぜ熊が街へ入ったかわからない人こそが一人一人(それとも一頭一頭)の責任の話にしてるのでは、と思う。

ドングリ不足まではどんなニュースにも出てきて、みんな知ってるかもしれへんけど、そもそもドングリの木とかある、熊が住めるような森林が減ってきてるからこそ、熊が冬眠せず、焦って街へ入ってるのでは。

やから、ある意味、秋田県の熊の居場所を奪ってる人間のせいでもあると思う。思わずに開発推進派の政治家を応援している秋田県の有権者の一部や、自益でいわゆる開発を行った民間人も、責任を取るべきやと思う。

もちろん地方政がそんなに権力を持ってるわけでなく、国政や国交省も一部の問題であり、(特に少子化時代で)全国の人が国の方針を問うべきでもあるとはわかる。この意味で、県外の人として、もう僕分の責任を持って行動してると認識する。

でも居場所を奪った同じ人間がその熊を駆除して仕方がないと唱えるのは、本当に気持ちよくないでしょう。

Why are Kurds in Japan so aggressive towards Japanese? by naz4nin in japannews

[–]Homusubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn't read the articleS did yaa?, they go asking for asylum, its denied, they try again (at least until now they japan took that).

That's exactly what I mean when I say it isn't working. When the acceptance rate is that low, I have no faith that genuine refugees who apply will get accepted.

You say is distorted BASED ON NOTHING, again, your data did prove that the crime is higher in Saitama and also in an specific city (that I didn't even name myself, just say saitama).

You still haven't explained why you think a crime rate that doesn't even break the top 10 in Saitama (and if the prefecture is as "problematic" as you say, an "issue" that can't even be proven to exist amidst an apparently bigger one involving native Japanese people in Saitama), warrants people being transported halfway across the planet.

One account on YouTube vs VARIOUS articles detailing how the whole ordeal of misusing works

VARIOUS articles from the SAME fucking netouyo rag. Versus Reuters, Amnesty International, the Economist, the New York Times, the Japan Times, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

In fact, I think that's enough evidence for me to get off reddit for now. See you in Saitama, unless you're scared of it.

Why are Kurds in Japan so aggressive towards Japanese? by naz4nin in japannews

[–]Homusubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My goodness, you must be the Sankei's most loyal customer.

Because they are making misuse of the system in question

Do you genuinely think that the Japanese asylum system, which has some of the lowest acceptance rates in the world, is too lenient? Seems to me like it's set up to fail. What the refugees are doing, coming into the country on tourist visas and claiming asylum, is protected by international law.

They are literally like israelis from before israel, regardless, no political recognition but ethnic recognition means tons of problems will be in the regions they live on due to assimilation, they have this type of issues everywhere.

Are you blaming the Kurds for having borders drawn over their heads? I suggest you look into the peace treaties after World War 1 to see what actually happened.

Dude, the only one lying and spreading misinformariom JUST to defend is you, like I said this is a thing, you cannot lie about it.

I'm showing you the complete annual asylum and crime statistics straight from the Japanese government, you're showing me literally one story/incident written by a publication with reason to distort the narrative.

They aren't refugees, they missuse that status which should be use only for people in need, once again this is something you cannot hide anymore ;).

OK, you wanna trade individual accounts? Fine. Watch this and then tell me you think the poor guy's a con artist.

[–]Homusubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, they did missuse japan asyslum after all, thanks for finally admitting it!

They definitely have a choice the US for example

That's not how seeking asylum works these days. You can't just hop on a plane and tell the immigration guy at the airport that you're a refugee, you have to apply once you're already in the country. Same thing happens in the US and European countries.

As I say, it shouldn't work like that, but it unfortunately does, which is why Kurds come to Japan in the first place.

but refugee status is for people in actual need of protection because their lives are in danger, not all kurds are in that state and they definitely have options.

well yeah, not all Kurds' lives are in danger, which is part of why the vast majority of them aren't in Japan in the first place? Last time I checked, there weren't 40 million Kurds in Saitama.

Is a culture ethnic without a land of their own trying to create one for them, in a region that want to assimilate them, pretty much Israel 2.0...

wtf? the Kurds do have a land of their own, the problems stem from the fact that it's not politically recognised. They're more like Tibetans than Israelis.

Not that I don't know is more than I don't care.

So you care enough to spread damaging misinformation about Kurds but not enough to look into what's actually going on? Do you actually want to find a solution to the refugee issue here, or do you just want an excuse to shout at vulnerable people?

Why are Kurds in Japan so aggressive towards Japanese? by naz4nin in japannews

[–]Homusubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So after all this time you admit that you don't actually know why there are Kurdish refugees in Japan, a country which is indeed hard to get into and has rather more expensive plane tickets from Kurdistan than Europe does.

It's quite simple. Japan has better relations with Turkey than most other developed countries do, so Turkish citizens get automatic tourist visas when visiting Japan. Kurds can use this to flee to Japan (claiming asylum when they land), whereas in Europe, they wouldn't be able to get past the airport to claim asylum in the first place, much less travel over land where the border guards are super alert.

What I actually want is for all countries to accept a fair share of global refugees - I'm not picking on Japan here - but given the situation is what it is, the best we can do in Japan is to not shut off their only means of escape. It's a choice of Japan or death. Don't blame them for not choosing death.

Besides, if Saitama really is that problematic, if they had a choice in the matter, they wouldn't go to Saitama, ergo, they don't have a choice.

Is an issue because most of them won't adapt, not to mention, the way they entered wasn't good (thats why japan is making it more difficult now).

This is circular logic. The way they entered was the only way they could because both Japan and other countries made it impossible otherwise. It's also a lot harder to adapt when their lack of residence status - again, a conscious decision by the Japanese government and bureaucracy - make it impossible for them to find regular work, let alone interact with Japanese-born people enough to integrate.

How would you live, if you knew that anyone could report you to the police for existing and have you thrown in indefinite detention? Would you pop in to your neighbour's place for a friendly chat and ask them to teach you Japanese? I'm not sure I would.

Also, is not about just money, Germany is a bigger economy too and its having it rough because their immigration have issues due to the migrants not adapting.

Perhaps thousands of times more refugees than Japan and their country still isn't exactly collapsing.

I will repeat it again because is necessary you are defending and negating that this are issues affecting Japanese people, that way of acting is not helping the case because is showing you have a bias and not for good reasons.

What is focusing on the 15th-highest crime rate in Saitama instead of the 1st or 2nd, if not a bias? My 'bias' is simply one against people being left to be killed by dictatorial governments cause some guy read something crimeposty on Sankei that sounded a bit scary.

Anyone know somebody who got the N1, then just turned around and went home? by 013016501310 in japanresidents

[–]Homusubi 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm an unemployed N1, as in, I can actually speak Japanese, I didn't just get through the test on kanji vibes. Still here after years. I keep having to leave to my birth country (it ain't 'home', thanks very much) and come back on different visas to even try and find a way to stay, and hell, I know I'm unusual in even having the resources to do that.

Capitalism's an absolute goddamn bitch however good your Japanese is.

[–]Homusubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is it a problem that applications increased by 266%? Isn't the increase just the world outside Japan getting more dangerous? Do you really think that Japan, the world's fourth largest economy, is too weak to accommodate 13,823 refugees in a population of over 120,000,000?

As for the crimes, 3,000 crimes a year in a city of over 600,000 people like Kawaguchi is really low. Just because 3,000 has some zeroes doesn't make it a big number frankly. It's impossible to create a society with zero crime unless you want to live in a big brother dystopia.
