hundreds of years? try thousands, it was they way thing have always been there, you cant judge there way of life, especialy by looking at it from your point of veiw, and for the wepons thing, there are still laws against owning guns in japan, but it doesnt bug them, because they have no reason to own a gun, you are being to close minded about this to be able to understand where other people are coming from
no reason to own a gun....what about to fight the tyranny of the state isnt that the reason we have our second amendment???
their is no excuse for allowing your govt to totally control the lives of its citizens. As an American our founding documents state that all humans have innate rights given to us by god (essentially we are born with freewill and that is where they get the fact that its god given....) if you lay down and let those who are in authority control your lives because you are too lazy to control your own life then you are a foolish fool...As a freedom loving american what they do is abhorrent.
they and many other eastern countries were and some still are dominated cultures through out history and it shows in how content they seem to be under such authoritarian leaders...not to mention they put lithium in the water in japan (along with fluoride) both of which is shown to make people complacent and dummed down.
yea i shouldnt have an opinion on the fact that their govt controls almost every facet of their life...i mean who am i do say that is wrong.... yea right thats stupid and you are stupid for even entertaining the thought that it is acceptable. I dont think that only just americans should have freedom and be free but all people....Freedom is the only way otherwise their is no point in being alive. (no we are not born to live and serve the state contary to what some believe).
Unless you dont truly believe in our nation and the reason it was founded and the reason we fought for our independence, their is no other way to see this situation...
