Thats business sense, numbnuts, not technological innovation. Which I just said.

Take Playstation(japan) and Xbox(us) for instance...which would you buy for the quality of it?

Dumbass, the X-Box has way better speciffications. Sony just used better business sense and made the PS and PS2 more accessible to third party programers.

How about Ford and Toyota...which would you rather own?

I'm looking to buy a Camry because Toyota is a better run company that puts out a more reliable and fuel efficient car with a better warranty. It has nothing to do with any type of innovations in the car.

I can't agree with you that Japaneses don't innovate anything. I'm betting you every cell phone device you've ever owned (if you do own one) was made in Japan but the service and the program is American.

The cell phones we use trace their lineage back to the portable radio units from WW2. Ericsson and Nokia also happen to be Scandenavian (I forget which of the three countries).

Tell me, what is one Japanese innovation?

I would like to own most of Japanese products but their export wouldn't allow it (or something like that)...

Do you have any idea how much total crap is pumped into that market? Talk about a consumer culture, they make us look Amish.

But, if you want to look like a 15 year old Japanese girl, thats your bag.

That could happen if they continue to avoid getting involved with the war and increase military spending...

You do realize that our own space program was a direct result of the Cold War, right, as well as the Soviets? I agree that a shooting war would slow down any progress there, but onyl the need to compete and the fear of another threat is going to propel them toward that sort of goal.

You're right about the tech that didn't let us down that day but sorry, I'm having a hard time believing it was all a fluke when they've received numorous warnings that al-Qaeda was planning to strike the US. I'm also having hard time believing that al-Qaeda was responsible for the NORAD standdown simply by switching off the radar...

I'm not going through this shit again. How many threads do you want locked because you want to ramble on about the evil Zionist Illuminati?
