America doesn't have ANY culture whatsoever

No one here cares about Japan, other than the games and girl comics that come out from there

They both suck compared to places with actual culture like China, or Spain and other western european places

Just because the board name is /jp/ doesn't mean we're obsessed with Japan

[Anonymous No.]

I like America, because they are interested in entertainment made in other countries and don't have a xenophobic mindset that makes them stick to everything from their own country. Americans would read my comic, Japanese never will.

another country wouldnt get away with conquering Iraq or Afghanistan. US gets away with everything because they are the US! They do whatever they want and no one can stop them and they know it too, which is double as hard.

- Laws in place for a "fat tax" that encourages fitness
- Higher percentage of college graduates/better educated (~54% Jpn vs ~26% US)
- Far lower crime rates overall
- 1-2% Christian population, rest is secular/atheist

People who say America has no culture obviously have no fucking clue what "culture" actually means. What you really should be saying is that you don't LIKE America's culture.

>Nowadays everyone shares a single culture thanks to the internet. Not having a culture isn't that important anymore

I feel the need to bow down in front of Americans for this. They made them not having culture was not that important anymore.
Even more, they imposed their no culture.

>and don't have a xenophobic mindset that makes them stick to everything from their own country.

Instead translating movies they go and make their own super awesome American version. They go and change anime so it looks like it's set in an American city, changing names, script and even scenes.

You're talking about big industry movies that have to reach millions. I'm talking about people like you and me. An American I could be talking with here would read my entertainment if he enjoyed it.

American culture (so far includes: funny triangular hats, a bunch of declarations and documents and a bell) isn't the same thing as consumerism. Consumerism and "capitalism"-ism are british inventions along with racism, modern imperialism, millenarianism, protestant/sectarian christian extremism, starvation economics, "big lie" propaganda (which is NOT NOT NOT German, btw. The nazis used it but it was a british idea), and modern alcoholism

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.

I would bet many of those Japanese holding higher degrees attained them from US institutions

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.
