HAHAHAHA its funny how you're comparing the NY rally to the TOKYO rally where they were complaining about Tv programming. I would hope people wouldn't go too crazy and started a riot over a tv channel not showing the shows they want to see.. LOL
-
Koreans and Jews control the world. Japan and USA get with the program. Stop whining like a little bitches.

I have only lived in Japan for four years during my time serving in the US Navy. During this time I have come to realize that life in America sucks. My comparison is between Tokyo and New York of course. I would rather live in the worst neighborhood in Tokyo than the best in NYC I hate this city with a passion. I was never refused entrance to a club in Tokyo due to my preference of clothing meanwhile in NY I am refused entry to a club just for being a single man.

Actually, I think an ordered quiet march with tasteful pro printed banners & flags is more powerful. It shows discipline and clear messages. The more you look like crazies as portrayed on video - even though not - the more you freak out the 10's of millions of couch potatoes.

@Yetanotherytuser And the award for world's largest run-on sentence goes to...
-
Tony surely you do understand the history of union movements in USA. It was necessary to get violent and disruptive in US for most parts. Americans also had very peaceful marches and demonstrations with far more people than you can count. You're always giving one bad example to prove your point while ignoring the rest.
-
lol, isn't that what New Yorkers are like on a normal day?
-
@FranBunnyFFXII I dunno... The high and mighty are easy to identify and never shut up so hard to forget. They tend to b pretty ungrateful too. That's why it's easy to point the finger at them.
-
@thelasthallow Oh boy, it isn't? Damn, you discovered my inner thoughts, it is not like I just gave my opinion on your comment and you exploded into a rage mode calling me ignorant since the beginning for not agreeing with you and getting even more aggressive when I asked you the rational basis for your extreme opinion... I was just me wanting to show you "how much I know" Also, I like how you continue replying my messages even when you already said that you ended this conversation...
-
@FranBunnyFFXII Yeah, liberals ruined everything. :(
-
@Yetanotherytuser dude just shut up please. your not as smart as you think you are even though you blatantly tried to prove it by posting "how much you know" like this is some kind of contest. its not. now go away.
-
I think it is wrong to criticize the act of a cop in USA. A cop cannot act polite behavior in society filled with guns. It is natural that a cop regards his own life than the quality of duties as important.
-
@thelasthallow eh? didn't you ended this conversation already?, oh I get it, the butt-hurting got you, I guess when you best argument is "shut up, you know nothing because of this ridiculous requirement I just pulled out of my ass" and I can't take it seriously you can get kinda butt-hurt... maybe even more when showed the hypocrisy behind it. Do I need to go to Mars in order to know that you would die intoxicated in it's atmosphere?..... If your answer is no then you are a hypocrite.
-
@Yetanotherytuser Shut up you ignorant fuck. you don't live here so don't preach to me about shit you THINK you know about. you don't have a fucking clue how things work here.
-
Tony, I am convinced that you don't know much about Japan. You seem to idealize it, but I guarantee you that if you lived here for a few years you will sing a different tune. It is as land of contradictions; there is much to like but you will find a dark side here as well. I would be happy to tell you more about this place. Just don't idealize it so much. Be happy that Americans don't let the excesses of police intimidation and violence get a pass.

This video compares apples to oranges. As an American who has lived most of his adult life in Japan, I can tell you that the circumstances of both of these marches are completely different. First off, there is a massive police presence because of 2 things: 9/11 and the need to protect wealth. 2nd, "demo" in Japan are always like this: structured and self-regimented. The whole society is like that. The US, on the other hand, has a tradition of democracy and democracy is messy.

@thelasthallow if after my extended explanation you are unable to grasp what I'm trying to convey, then I'm glad you are ending this conversation. I wouldn't want to you to burn your last neuron trying to understand what I'm trying to say, just so you lower your IQ by 50% after that neuron is turned into crisps. Continue with your "revolution" screaming "GOOO AMUUUURRRRIIKA AFTER THOSE EVIL CORPORATE BASTARDS!!! PAY YOUR FAIR SHAREEEE (even thou you already pay more than anyone else)!!!!!!!!"

@thelasthallow Let me translate it for you using simple English with unnecessary explanations: I (Meaning myself) am not allowed to talk about the US because you (retard) claim (herp-derp) that unless I live in the US I don't "really" know anything about the US, that being of course a bullshit statement since there is no real limitation on knowledge depending on your location , but you are allowed to talk about the economy and the evilness of the corporations without any economic knowledge...
