Also...loosen immigration laws?

I know it's a very closed off nation with deep cultural roots that is very weary of outsiders...

Additionally, the word is "wary"

Love all races. Except the human race. Terrible, awful people they are.

Now this is a racist idea I can agree with.

I don't mind finding work in Japan... ...if it wasn't so hostile to workers

So far, Japan is near the bottom of my list for western countries to work at, and I would much rather find a job in Korea instead

Japan is near the bottom of my list for western countries

Japan is an Eastern country. In fact, it's the farthest East county possible.

I think the words you were looking for were "first world countries".

its so east that it loops back around to being west

Syntax mistake—not grammar

[Pedentry intensitfies]

Appropriate user name, though.

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Syntax would be more like sentence structure and order. Contractions are indeed grammar.

No love for New Zealand huh?

Checked my map, it's not there

[-] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 1 points 1 month ago

It's an updated version of a Dutch province

[-] Xatolos@reddthat.com 4 points 1 month ago

New Zealand? What's that?

Depends on your meridian.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago

Nobody takes that to be literally about geography anymore. Japan might be far away from Texas, but it's politically a lot closer than Russia just a ferry ride away.

Po-tay-to po-tah-to doesn't really matter to distinguish between them when what I meant was clear, although I probably would've said first world if I was nitpicking my post before sending

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

That's crazy talk, you'd get lot's of filthy foreigners in that way.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago

I know it’s a very closed off nation with deep cultural roots that is very weary of outsiders…

Europe doesn't get to use that excuse, and neither should they. I don't care how different whale meat shashimi seems from foi gras, or bonsai from tulip arrangements.

[-] john89@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Absolutely! Even if it's unlikely to happen, we shouldn't let that distract us from what the best decisions would be.
