I would say one thing that is better about the US over Japan is the whole justice system.

okay so, I just want to say you are mistaken about a few things. Number one is the water thing, I have never had a problem getting my water refilled at a restaurant in Japan and second every restraint I have been to had napkins, they are just much smaller than they are in the US so they might be hard to spot on the table. I have also never had a problem with my credit card in Japan, you just need to let the credit agency know you are over seas.

Hi. I just read your two posts, and I generally agree on both sides.
Nonehteless, I would love to live in japan for a while, if only a few years of my life. And to be honest, some of the prudishness (for lack opf a better word) of japanese society rather attracts me, because I just feel like America is not the most polite country… However, it may be due to the fact that I like in Arizona, the socially backwards, we literally live in a giant hole, area of the US. lol! Well Thanks for the interesting articles and I hope I made a good contribution.

I’ve read both this article and the one about How Japan is better than America. You’ve presented two very good and different topics and facts about why one could be better than the other. I liked your argument about Japan being more superior than America… until I read this. I guess which one is better is all subjective.

its not that japanese are less extravagant, its simply because there is less space in japan than in the US. so japanese have no other choice but to adapt to the current conditions, meaning living in smaller houses.

3 america is better than japan because in america girls come in all sizes and colours where as in japan girls are only in one size ..super skinny .i have hardly seen any plus size girl here..which makes me more attracted to them

thats not tue. a lot of japanese girls are slimmer than american girls, but there are many girls of all sizes and colours as well. ive seen quite a few girls that are obese in japan.

5 america is better than japan because in america there are lot of things to do to entertain urslef.. where as japan is comparatively boring….

do you have any examples to back that up?

6 america is better than japan because in america everybody is immigrant..so no body cares where ur from as long as ur rich and good looking..where as in japan the first question that u hear is where the subject is from!!

well of course japanese will be curious as to where a foreigner is from, considering that 98% of the population is japanese. they’re curious about you, i see that as something positive.

7 america is better than japan because in america u can wear anything but japan its a suit freak country ..

when you’re not working in japan, you can usually wear anything as well. this is especially true for university students. or just look at what some people wear when you walk the streets in tokyo or other big cities. its even more extravagant than in the west. i’m assuming that you can’t just wear ANYTHING to work in the US now can you. maybe you have more choice in the attire you wear to work, but surely there’s a line you can’t cross in america too.

[...] Hunter: Forgive my playing devil’s advocate, but they already play Go in Japan, and that’s not exactly a utopia. Like any other country, they have their pros and cons (see my discussion with Akemi Gaines where we compared the U.S. and Japan, or my tongue-in-cheek 10 Reasons America is Better Than Japan). [...]

10 america is better than japan because japanese are athiests unlike americans so they have less compassion towards less previlaged people or less fortunate people where as in america people believe in day of judgement therefore they are more compassionate towards these things..where as japanese are plain materialistic…period

9 japan is better than america because when to comes to housing japanese are not as extravagant as americans ..usually they live in small houses and dont use furniture to the extent where they have to spend a hefty money on just house hold furniture
10 japan is better than american because in japan a young girl can go out even at three o clock late at night without any fear..where as in america mostly its not safe for girls and ladies to be out after mid night
NOW I WOULD DISCUSS WHY AMERICA IS BETTER THAN JAPAN
1 america is better than japan because when it comes to groceries u get a good value for money..not very expensive as japan
2 america is better than japan because in america there are big roads to drive where as in japan there are small roads and mostly small cars
3 america is better than japan because in america girls come in all sizes and colours where as in japan girls are only in one size ..super skinny .i have hardly seen any plus size girl here..which makes me more attracted to them
4 america is better than japan because in america there are many crazy people so if you have stress you can go on the road and scream and shout and call somebody names and u will get some bad names in return from him but at the end of the day u release ur stress..where as in japan there is no way u can do that becuase u have to be polite at all times..so mostly japanese go for suicide..
5 america is better than japan because in america there are lot of things to do to entertain urslef.. where as japan is comparatively boring….
6 america is better than japan because in america everybody is immigrant..so no body cares where ur from as long as ur rich and good looking..where as in japan the first question that u hear is where the subject is from!!
7 america is better than japan because in america u can wear anything but japan its a suit freak country ..
8 america is better than japan becuase americans are not brand freak like japanese specially japanese girls they are brand freak that these all armani gucci and all this earning more from japan than anyother country
9 america is better than japan because americans are not good at hiding their feelings if some american would not like you ..you would come to kn0woinstantaneouly where as in japan u have to put a fascade since u have to be polite…infront of you u will be welcome with wide proportioned smile but behind your back u will be badmouthed..where as americans are not good at hiding their feels or they less but they forthright and straight forward…

hello from neutral prospective as i am neither american nor japanese i have the following things to say as i have lived in America and now living in japan so i have reasonable acute eye to see both the countries cons and pros
1 japan is better than america in the sense that the difference between the rich and the poor is not so wide as america where u see on the one side big limo and on the other side a homeless person!!
2 japan is better than america in the sense thatyou can not apparently guess who is poor and who is rich as irrespective of class both use public transport unlike america where you have to have your own car otherwise you can never date..in cragslist some girls first demand for the date is that he must have a car ..what the heck…
3 japan is better than america in the sense that japanese are not very loud like many americans..i am sorry i have good american friends..i am just talking about ugly americans who try to be conspicous and crave for attention
4 japan is better than american in the sense that in japan there is no segregation of different communities like in america where i saw black neighbourhoods seperate from white neighbourhoods..than hispanic neighbourhoods separate..one feels estranged in america..there is a town i went called jamica in newyork where i thought i am in jamica everybody in there was black..even i didnt see the white dog there..then i saw another town in america where mostly polish and russian immigrants lived not a single black man was there..!!totaly alianated ..disappointing
where as in japan they dont have immigrations problems like this
5 japan is better than america in the sense that in japan the dignity of work is higher than america where as in america i witnessed the labour was mostly hispanics illegals where as white americans dont want to do that job because its considered as low job and there is no dignity in doing that whereas in japan work is work…no body would look down on you if you are labour or working on a low pay jobs
6 japan is better than america because i have hardly seen any street prostitution ..and if you want to have escort services its much more expensive than america..where as in america its as low as 20 dollars for fast bee jay…so in compare with america there is no prostitution.
7 japan is better than america in the sense that if japanese girl sleeps with you …she would definately marry you and not blame alcohol for what happened last night ..like in america even if you do some thing terribly wrong and sleep with your best friend you can laugh it off and say ah i was drunk..heheheh..sorry..forget it
8 japan is better than america bcoz japanese girls like white people so if ur a white person u will enjoy japan like a king interms of courtships!!
