My point I hope at least regular and old posters here can understand the difference between "kids doing dumb shit" and "their kids only do dumb shit, while ours do not"

Stereotypes... my nemesis
Now, seriously... Japanese are not weirder then, Chinese, Koreans, Germans, English, Americans, Brazilians, etc... they all do stuff that when taken out of context seem weird, but make all the sense in the world when one knows what led to them.

Hey, at least your people have stereotypes. We don't, and therefore we don't exist !

His pirate-like raids on trade vessels and killing hundreds of citizens aboard probably didn't sit well with his foes either.
Revolt was justified, but his crude, primitive methods attributed to his end.

40% of Young Japanese: “Marriage Is Worthless!”:
"Japan’s younger generations increasingly fail to see the point of marriage at all, with a survey of 37,000 revealing some 40% feel the institution “has no merit.” A survey of 37,610 Japanese asking the question “Do you agree with the sentiment that ‘I don’t understand the merits of marriage’?” found some distinctly negative attitudes to the merits of marriage in abundance. Of the total, 33.5% agreed that the merits of wedlock were hard to fathom, still leaving a respectable majority of 66.5% of the opinion the institution has some merit. However, broken down by age, the younger generations were drastically less likely to see the point of marriage, and the most enthusiastic support seems to come from geriatrics:" See: http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2013/0...-is-worthless/ |

It's not just in Japan, but every country that emerges from isolation, political conservatism and religious fundamentalism, due to decades of economic prosperity is bound to ideologically realign with individualistic ideals, which is of course good for each person during his lifetime, but grim for the society in the long-term

.... is there a reason why Sankaku Complex neglects to link or reference its source for their articles?
The source is this. http://shunkan-news.com/archives/7556 The context of this is, at an event held in Okubo Tokyo "Naked Loft" for "Young unattractive men who hates marriage, and want to speak out" the panel hosts urged the unattractive, single men in the audiences how marriage is pointless, and that they are single by choice. Then in response to that, a news site for young females, Girls SPA!, asked their web audiences (mostly female obviously) what they think about this, and held a poll on agree/disagree. So yeah. It's totally not a skewed, biased poll or anything. This is exactly why Sankuaku Complex has ZERO merit on their tabloid bullshit. The fact they neglect to source where their claims even come from, and in what context they were held. Seriously, they're worse than freakin Enquirer. My general distaste you may hear me express about them are not unfounded. I'm not a journalist, but if I were, I'd spit in the general direction of their office.

But, in a way I don't mind Sankaku. I never treat it as a serious news source, but as entertainment. Just like tabloids. Unfortunately there's a lot of media, internet and elsewhere, that passes itself off as news and information while being anything but. And sadly, too many people who actually believe it.
