From a Toyota Commercial that aired on TV in Sep 2007: "My Grandfather Would have Bought a Toyota" and I guess he also would have forgiven the Japanese Army for murdering over 6,000,000 civilians! Even today in 2007, there is a 100% import tax for American cars sold in Japan, I can see why the Japanese need to protect the Japanese auto-makers because Japanese cars are junk, but I can not imagine why American car buyers would! If the Japanese cars are relay so good, why over tax the competition with a 100% tariff?

The Japanese think we're stupid, lazy and overpaid.

So why do we buy their ship, after treating us this way.

Let them put their cameras, where the sun doesn't shine.

And if it says "Made in Japan" you'll know it's not mine.

They buy their own officials. Their buying capital hill.

The biggest problem seems to be, mostly American will.

Keep in mind that I do not care to revisit every stupid thing Japan has done. I only have a few gigs of storage.
If anyone is in doubt about the atomic bomb, remember the millions of people who died at the hands of the Japanese RIGHT UP TO THE TIME THE FIRST BOMB was dropped! The Japanese were not even slowing down. We (The US) saved millions of lives with the atomic bomb! Made in America, Tested in Japan! I know that last crack was uncalled for an insensitive, after all, the Japanese have been such good neighbors for over a hundred years!
I have actually been to Japan. I know politics in Japan are pretty much the same as here. Policy is given careful thought for the best thing for it's people, then sold to the highest bidder. Why else would Billy and Reno still be alive and free?
If the Japanese believed for one minute that the quality is the only reason US products don't sell well in Japan, I would think they would welcome an open market! But of course, they know their products are not any better than ours.
I can not imagine why any black American would ever buy a Japanese car after the way the Japanese house speaker called them lazy, stupid, greedy, and a sub-human race! Yes, this is true! Don't get me wrong, the Japanese don't like white people either, but they really hammer American blacks.
I don't know why any American (to include Japanese Americans) would consider buying Japanese cars after being called a sub-contractor, with sub-quality to the Japanese. Yes they did that too!
Many Japanese officials believe they are a super race, I know it sounds funny, but they believe the world will be controlled by them, one way or another! This is not a new trend for them. In fact, this would explain their behavior over the last hundred or so years. When I was there, anyone of non Japanese blood (to include Koreans that were taken there against their will) have this noted on their identification cards! When Hitler did that with the stars, we got outraged, why don't we care anymore?
The Japanese have for years been promising to open up their markets, but year after year they have come up with good excuses to not do it. Or in many cases they claim it is an open market. Keep in mind when I was there, just the tax on an American car was 100%. Yes that is a hundred percent! They say it is an open market if you want to sell there, you can.
Nixon was also given the usual Japanese line. "We can not be a true equal economic partner as long as the US still holds Okinawa." Nixon gave it back, and well almost 30 years ago. Hum. Yes more of the same.
I for one am pretty tired of lip service from Japan. Let's make an open market or no market!
Let's get our military out of Japan, make them pay for their own defense! But wait, am I crazy, those guys are pretty smart. They will start to develop there own nuclear weapons, and start killing their neighbors again. I know this would probably be the case, but this would take years to do, and they would contract out to companies like Toshiba and their secrets would be sold to the highest bidder again! No problem, will just contract with Toshiba to keep tabs on their military.
Let's have as many mushroom clouds stamps as we want! I guess it doesn't matter anymore, but we did win the war, didn't we? Oh and by the way, didn't Japan bomb us FIRST?
Let us not forget the Toshiba sale of American secrets to the Soviets!. Japan did not Send anyone from Toshiba to prison! They didn't even prosecute anyone!
