Japan newborn babies in 2014 fewest on record

[barryqwalsh]

A further drop in the number of children is inevitable as "the number of reproductive-age women is on the decline," an official at the ministry said, Kyodo News reported.

Japan's ageing population is a headache for policymakers who are faced with trying to ensure an ever-dwindling pool of workers can pay for the growing number of pensioners.

Who would want to migrate to "glow in the dark"/"radioactive" Japan?
...and even if they did, and they weren't Japanese, would they be welcome, or treated as 'aliens'?

Can't blame Japanese adults for not having children, given the state of their country now and in the future,
... it's basically ruined?

 

[Unkotare]

Not "glow in the dark" or "basically ruined."

This makes me sad as Japan is an advance society worth growing and spreading outwards.


Instead, we have a bunch of dumb ass fools reproducing on this planet.

Japan needs to lighten up on immigration. There are plenty of people who would happily move to Japan and become part of their culture.

Short on women of reproductive age? No problem. The Philippines have plenty. Just let them immigrate.

You don't understand Japan Joe, race is everything. There is Japan, and everything else. Most people would admit that their ancestors come from somewhere else, not the Japanese. Yes, some people come to Japan and marry but allow unlimited immigration from sub-human, third world countries? I'll believe it when it happens.

If you ask a Japanese if their ancestors came from Mongolia or somewhere they might say "Japan was created when the Gods made Love. We are descendants of those Gods".

Typical conversation between a foreigner and a Japanese:

Japanese: "Hello! Where are you from"?
Foreigner: "I'm from (insert country here)"
Japanese: "Are you on vacation?"
Foreigner: "No I live and work here in Japan at (insert company here)"
Japanese: "Oh how interesting! When are you going back?"

I've lived in Japan before and I've participated in variations of that convo many times.

Sounds like it's "everything" to you.

Bullshit they would. That is ridiculous, and you ought to know better.

You where I heard that from last? My Japanese wife.

One person's opinion does not equate to the attitude of an entire nation.

The second Japan Creation story they will tell goes something like this:

"A Samurai God was standing in the Ocean off of China with the water up to his waist. As he drew his Sword out across his body the drops from the sword formed the Japan Island chain". Then of course the Gods made love and populated it. The whack-a-doodle Mormons have a creation story similar to that.

Of course, a Japan fetish guy like UnkoTare wouldn't know that because he PROBABLY spends most of his time masturbating to Anime Porn, Lolita Porn or AKB48 pictures.

Wow how profound! I never thought of that!

Never said it was either you dumb f*ck.

I don't know, I know a lot of Japanese. I've never met one who had the attitude you described. I know one lady who's married to a white guy.

"It" goes like nothing, because most people would not respond to a question about their personal family genealogy by recounting a creation myth. Most people would look at you like the strange foreign otaku you seem to be if you insisted they 'should' because it flatters the fantasy that you are 'special' for knowing stories every school kid does. Try to relax.

That is exactly what you suggested, otaku.

Got news for ya' scatboi. Japanese look at you weird no matter WHAT you're doing.

When did YOU live in Japan?

Myself: Military 83-86 and again 89-91. Then 94-97 as a civilian.

 

[Unkotare]

Japanese look at you weird no matter WHAT you're doing.

....

I have no doubt people look at YOU that way no matter where you live.

 

[Unkotare]

When did YOU live in Japan?....

In the 90s. You writing a biography?

 

[Mad Scientist]

Yeah I didn't think ScatBoi had any real experience with Japan or Japanese. He's the Otaku that he accuses me of being.

Anime and Fetish Porn is no substitute for actually living in a country.

 

[Unkotare]

Yeah I didn't think .... had any real experience with Japan or Japanese. .....

It's clear that you want to believe that sooooooooooooo badly, but you're out of luck, otaku. You'll have to find some other way to feel special.
