Anime and video games - It is really a surprise that many Japanese men can't handle real women after watching anime with submissive female characters for most of their lives? Real women are nothing like the agreeable characters in their favorite shows. Once they finish their anime, they retreat into their video games where they kill monsters to get parts to make other parts, so they can make other parts for other parts so they can make that weapon to slaughter more innocent beasts to get more parts for other parts. These men are obviously losers and unsuitable mates for women.

It'll be cheaper because the whole country's economy basically collapsed. Precisely. It will be cheaper but no more feasible. If you dont have an income, the difference between $100 and $10000 is entirely academic. The economy can recover quickly if the government and central bank stay out of the way. Asset prices will keep falling until investors pick them up and make them productive again. In Japan's case though, the experience will hurt much more when the market forces their hand than it would have if they didn't pursue Keynesian solutions in the early 90s through today. A major downturn won't obliterate Japan's ability to be economically productive or turn them into Bangladesh. --- "I have never understood why it is greed to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money."

Rob Cesternino 05/07/18 4:52:42 PM #156:	GreatEvilEmpire posted... The problem is Japanese culture. It needs to change or the birthrates will continue to decrease. 1. Maternity harassment: Over 50% of women drop out of the job market after having children. Some numbers have at as high as 70%. The reason is maternity harassment & sexism. Despite efforts to change it, the results are lacking. Japanese companies and Japanese men need to stop treating pregnant women like 2nd-rate citizens. Because of this, many women choose not to marry or have children, so they can stay in the workforce. 2.

Care to do an analysis of the low birth rate of America? https://goo.gl/h28jDh The U.S. fertility rate just hit a historic low. Why some demographers are freaking out. The United States is in the midst of what some worry is a baby crisis. The number of women giving birth has been declining for years and just hit a historic low. If the trend continues and experts disagree on whether it will the country could face economic and cultural turmoil. According to provisional 2016 population data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday, the number of births fell 1 percent from a year earlier, bringing the general fertility rate to 62.0 births per 1,000 women ages 15 to 44. The trend is being driven by a decline in birthrates for teens and 20-somethings. The birthrate for women in their 30s and 40s increased but not enough to make up for the lower numbers in their younger peers. A country's birthrate is among the most important measures of demographic health. The number needs to be within a certain range, called the replacement level, to keep a population stable so that it neither grows nor shrinks. If too low, there's a danger that we wouldn't be able to replace the aging workforce and have enough tax revenue to keep the economy stable. Countries such as France and Japan that have low birthrates have put pro-family policies into place to try to encourage couples to have babies. The flip side can also be a problem. Birthrates that are too high can strain resources such as clean water, food, shelter and social services, problems faced by India, where the fertility rate has fallen over the past few decades but still remains high. The debate now is about whether the United States is headed toward a national emergency, as some have feared, or whether this is a blip and the birthrate will level off soon. It's about millennials, says Donna M. Strobino, a professor of population, family and reproductive health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. --- Stop asking me if I'm Jessica Simpson.

Ivany2008 05/07/18 6:17:49 PM #160:	The reason birth rate is down is because the economy is pretty much on a downfall. Older generations are screwing it up for the rest of us. They made piss poor decisions which are affecting us as a whole. In my area, I can't even get a job for above minimum wage. My buddy who has a degree in computer repair can't find a job paying more than 12 bucks an hour without benefits(the min wage where I live in is 11). Of course this isn't all of them, but the vast majority of them who have owned businesses, or ran businesses have given unwinnable options to the younger generation. They have added stupid stipulations to basic jobs so that no one can get those jobs. Anyone should be able to become a secretary. But nowadays they are asking things like a 3 year office degree, with an additional 2-3 years experience(how can you get experience.... if no place will hire you without experience). Many of use are forced to work min. wage jobs, rather than risk the diploma because all those jobs aren't there anymore. Of a graduating class for computer repair only 2 got jobs in their field in that area. What does this have to do with families and kids? No family where I live wants to raise a kid while working a minimum wage job. I myself have started to put things in motion where I can support just myself without having to work Min. Wage jobs. And those that have kids while working Min. Wage jobs are stuck in a position where they are forced to continue working there otherwise they won't be able to live with their families. And now you have these min. wage jobs cutting hours but still increase hiring. My own hours were cut from 30 to 10 a week, and I've told my boss that I can work anywhere within the company, and that I'm a fast learner. But no, they expect someone to know everything immediately(in a grocery store, mind you). Long story short. Some people don't want to have kids because they can't afford to raise kids. Others just don't want to have kids in general. <cite>Ivany2008 posted [p:900958849] in Japan suff...

Too many people are pursing liberal arts degrees that lead to them struggling to find work after graduation. This leads too many young people pushing off marriage later and not having children.

Of course this isn't all of them, but the vast majority of them who have owned businesses, or ran businesses have given unwinnable options to the younger generation. They have added stupid stipulations to basic jobs so that no one can get those jobs. The economy is doing well and there are millions of high paying jobs that are unfilled. Why needs computer repair anymore? People are on phones and tablets and laptops are cheap. If they break, it doesn't cost a lot to replace them. Tell me know why computer repair should deserve more than what market rate is paying. It sounds like you're angry at the world for advancing too much.

Maternity harassment: https://www.equaltimes.org/many-japanese-women-still-have-to?lang=en Over 50% of women drop out of the job market after having children. Some numbers have at as high as 70%. The reason is maternity harassment & sexism. Despite efforts to change it, the results are lacking. Japanese companies and Japanese men need to stop treating pregnant women like 2nd-rate citizens. Because of this, many women choose not to marry or have children, so they can stay in the workforce. 2. Anime and video games - It is really a surprise that many Japanese men can't handle real women after watching anime with submissive female characters for most of their lives? Real women are nothing like the agreeable characters in their favorite shows. Once they finish their anime, they retreat into their video games where they kill monsters to get parts to make other parts, so they can make other parts for other parts so they can make that weapon to slaughter more innocent beasts to get more parts for other parts. These men are obviously losers and unsuitable mates for women. Pillow acceptance proves that acceptance of any unhealthy behaviors can lead to societal regression. I like how you sourced the first one to try to cover up the fact you pulled the second one from your buttcheeks.

If you don't believe it, you don't understand Japanese culture and you need to read up. All you've given are random unrelated things and correlated them together without any evidence to link them. I can do that too. America has a gun crisis. America also has a declining birth rate.Therefore America's gun crisis is the reason why America has a declining birth rate. And lol as someone who's actually lived in Asia for school I understand hell of a lot more about it than you who bases all his knowledge about it from English made internet articles and video game news. That's the original definition of a weeb. So many internet dorks who think they understand the slightest thing about another culture from reading about it on the web when they've likely never even left their state/province let alone the country. GreatEvilEmpire posted... Anime and video games are a factor whether you like it or not. Most people don't mention it because they don't have the balls to put their hobbies in a bad light, even when they know it is sometimes. Yeah, that's why European countries who don't watch as much anime have just as bad birth/sex rates right? And why countries like Brazil, Russia, and the Phillipines that actually watch more anime than Americans have far higher birth and sex rates right? You've fallen into the most basic trap that uneducated and ignorant people fall into- that things they think make sense trumps hard facts and reality. It makes sense that violent video games should make people who play it more violent. However studies have shown the link is actually very negligible. Nowhere has there been any actual evidence that correlate watching anime or video games with a decrease in sexual activity other than you thinking "it makes sense" which is a true simpleton's mindset.

Many of those articles share the same views as I do. This just one of them: If you want to ignore it, that's YOUR problem, not mine. That is an opinion piece with conclusions made by a writer, not a study made by a researcher. There are plenty of articles about how violent video games and the American men are the reason for the mass murder epidemic. Does that suddenly make it true? It's certainly your problem that you base your worldview off clickbait internet articles and your own predisposed bias and not through an academic perspective. Here I'll make it easy for you. You correlate random problems (which I'm not denying they aren't) like workplace sexism, work culture and anime with low sex/birth rate despite other countries who don't have those also having low birth/sex rates and on the contrary, countries that DO have those have higher sex/birth rates with no evidence that they're linked other than you think so. I'm correlating low birth/sex rates with the increase in sex education (and education overall) and am supported by the fact that every country with high education and development do have lower sex/birth rates. Your hypothesis needs massive amounts of reaching, excuses, and denial (you can't compare cultures with each other). Mine is straightforward non-contradictory logic. And the cherry on top is that mine is actually supported by a study. Like I said, educate yourself and learn to "read up" actual studies or books dedicated to the culture if you're not going to experience it yourself and not a 5 minute opinionated article from an internet writer. --- </topic> <cite>GiftedACIII posted [p:901015834] in Japan suff...

If you don't believe it, you don't understand Japanese culture and you need to read up. </quote> All you've given are random unrelated things and correlated them together without any evidence to link them. I can do that too. America has a gun crisis. America also has a declining birth rate.Therefore America's gun crisis is the reason why America has a declining birth rate. And lol as someone who's actually lived in Asia for school I understand hell of a lot more about it than you who bases all his knowledge about it from English made internet articles and video game news. That's the original definition of a weeb. So many internet dorks who think they understand the slightest thing about another culture from reading about it on the web when they've likely never even left their state/province let alone the country. <cite>GreatEvilEmpire posted...</cite> <quote>Anime and video games are a factor whether you like it or not. Most people don't mention it because they don't have the balls to put their hobbies in a bad light, even when they know it is sometimes.</quote> Yeah, that's why European countries who don't watch as much anime have just as bad birth/sex rates right? And why countries like Brazil, Russia, and the Phillipines that actually watch more anime than Americans have far higher birth and sex rates right? You've fallen into the most basic trap that uneducated and ignorant people fall into- that things they think make sense trumps hard facts and reality. It makes sense that violent video games should make people who play it more violent. However studies have shown the link is actually very negligible. Nowhere has there been any actual evidence that correlate watching anime or video games with a decrease in sexual activity other than you thinking "it makes sense" which is a true simpleton's mindset. <cite>GreatEvilEmpire posted...</cite><quote>I play videogames and watch anime movies, The consequence of Anime pandering to subcultures hasn't gone unnoticed.s behind Japan's population decline. Many of those articles share the same views as I do. This just one of them: If you want to ignore it, that's YOUR problem, not mine.</quote> That is an opinion piece with conclusions made by a writer, not a study made by a researcher. There are plenty of articles about how violent video games and the American men are the reason for the mass murder epidemic. Does that suddenly make it true? It's certainly your problem that you base your worldview off clickbait internet articles and your own predisposed bias and not through an academic perspective. Here I'll make it easy for you. You correlate random problems (which I'm not denying they aren't) like workplace sexism, work culture and anime with low sex/birth rate despite other countries who don't have those also having low birth/sex rates and on the contrary, countries that DO have those have higher sex/birth rates with no evidence that they're linked other than you think so. I'm correlating low birth/sex rates with the increase in sex education (and education overall) and am supported by the fact that every country with high education and development do have lower sex/birth rates. Your hypothesis needs massive amounts of reaching, excuses, and denial (you can't compare cultures with each other). Mine is straightforward non-contradictory logic. And the cherry on top is that mine is actually supported by a study. Like I said, educate yourself and learn to "read up" actual studies or books dedicated to the culture if you're not going to experience it yourself and not a 5 minute opinionated article from an internet writer.</quote> ...
