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

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 6 months ago

[Pedentry intensitfies]

Appropriate user name, though.

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months 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 6 months ago

It's an updated version of a Dutch province

[-] Xatolos@reddthat.com 4 points 6 months ago

New Zealand? What's that?

Depends on your meridian.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 months 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 6 months ago

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

[-] john89@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago

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

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 months 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.
