On another note, this is a Japan forum. I wouldn't expect much potential for a balanced discussion regarding Japan versus Korea, China or America -- or any other country, for that matter... honestly. Though, I would hope for one.

That site is the biggest I know of where Asians debate Asians. It's easy to mark it off as idiotic remarks( I think a lot of it is idiotic too), but it's how they actually think. I was focusing in on Japan and foreigners as related to Japan, but the bickering knows no bounds. It's almost like every Asian country has a gripe with every other Asian country.
One point I like to point out, Though I'm biased towards Japan. In the big picture, Japan is just another Asian country bickering amongst it's neighbors. I learned that other Asian probably don't see things like I as a Japanese person does. Nor, should I assume my points of view are better than my Asian brothers.
Basically, something like that is what I wanted people to get/become aware of from this thread. You might agree with some of the stuff, you might disagree with some of the stuff, but that's not going to change the minds of the varies Asian groups. also, not everyone in a country agrees with a particular issue. you have to spend time finding out what other people from Asian nations feel and think. This is important when discussing Japan and Asia.
