but one thing that pisses me off a lot about Asian society is their Sheepishness, their follow the leader attitude that exists through their Confucian, Emperor loving, Commie loving society - Fuck that!
even Thailand, a place that had a real chance for democracy starts to implode as the Thais go back to wearing yellow and worshiping that old dingbat of a King. The only place that ever really makes an attempt at democracy are the South Koreans and half of those guys are crazy anyhow.
With Jiminto (LDP) you got a party which almost had a complete strangle hold on Japan since WW2, but maybe not for long anymore because the LDP deserves a butt whoppin

The LDP is a weird breed of good old fashioned narrow minded conservatism, and staunch liberalism. Examples such as cheering for Yasukuni but at the same time hiding behind their pacifist constitution. They lost power briefly in 1994 after some scandals allowed Japan socialists and other coalition weirdos make substantial gains A lot of gaijin people were trying to talk up Japan saying the property market would sky rocket once more and saying how Japan was a reliable tortoise but the dark writings were on the wall and the looming economic recession was going to hit. Japan's politics has become transparent, rigid, unimaginative and predictable. All the Koizumis, Abes, Aso and other assholes with their economic misery we could see coming from miles off http://www.wordpress.tokyotimes.org/?p=922.
Snap elections are gonna whack them
