Laws in place for a "fat tax" that encourages fitness
>Cool taking away of civil liberties/telling people how to live their lives
- Higher percentage of college graduates/better educated (~54% Jpn vs ~26% US)
>The US percentage is actually more like 29 and you're taking the numbers out of context. The population of the US is about 3x that of Japan so the number of actual people holding college degrees in the US is about 20 million more. And adding to that the Universities in the US are of higher caliber than those in Japan in the research they do and the education they give. I would bet many of those Japanese holding higher degrees attained them from US institutions
- Far lower crime rates overall
>Fair point, but crime has been rising in Japan
- 1-2% Christian population, rest is secular/atheist
>You have already mentioned this before, Congratulations. However I have already made the point that the US is becoming more secular as the population ages.

In retrospect looking at the points you made your reasons for not liking the US are very nitpicky, bringing up bands, cable channels, and an actress, as if there were no television programs or actors in Japan which you do not like. You say nothing of the things you don't like about Japan or even really compare the two countries at the good points. Your list seems very biased to me.

In conclusion: suck my dick
