No. 中国 refers to the geo-political nation boundary (geography), whereas 中華人民共和国 refers to the residing governmental body which administers the nation. But you use personal anecdotal evidence as empirical proof that all Chinese guys behave that way. I'm not here to defend China and say it's the...

Not all Chinese people hate Japan. To assume someone hates Japan just because they're ethnically (or nationally) Chinese would, in fact, be racist. Also, 中国 means "middle country", as in the land that is geographically located in the middle. If it meant "center of the world", it would be...

You should check out some Yoshimura Taku AVs. He has the perfect perverted fat, ossan look, and is so pervasive in the JAV world that he even has some DVDs dedicated to him having sex with random actresses: His list of works does not disappoint, either...

Actually I think you have it backwards. Nationally, the age of consent is set at 18, but certain prefectures or local governments set age of consent lower in accordance with local practices. Cases of legal sexual activity among "minors" is far and few between, with most prosecutors citing the...

Rule number 1 abut media sources: never implicitly trust media sources. I don't care if it's Washington Post or NY Times, or any number of so-called credible cable networks. You can never be 100% sure that the corporations owning the news media don't have some interest in promoting anti-nuclear...

Solar: incredibly inefficient so far, and Japan does not have a lot of land-mass to develop solar infrastructure. Wind: In real world use, still very deadly (ironically), limited land-mass, and expensive to deploy latest designs at sea. Geothermal: Extremely expensive compared to oil and natural...

Well, when an entire ecosystem is damaged by oil spills, it still suffers long term disruption. If an entire segment of the foodchain is knocked out, species can die out very quickly, and restructuring the prior balance of the ecosystem may take longer than "just" decades, if even possible at...

The difference is the world still uses the US Dollar as a reserve currency. Meaning the world is buying American debt to help keep the economy relatively stable (which is great for Americans). The problem is that the past 30+ years of US presidential administrations have severely undermined the...

Imouto.tv titles are authored as BDAV, not BDMV.

As imouto.tv BD discs are not AACS-encrypted, you can just open the BDMV\Stream or BDAV\Stream folder, and play the m2ts files in any media player. Or use a media player software that is capable of reading BD structure, such as WinDVD or PowerDVD. For BDs that have encryption, you need to use...

Japan has a declining birth rate. But just because the birth rate is low doesn't mean people aren't having sex. You should probably also look up rate of contraceptive use, or rate of abortion, etc.

Considering that a sizeable number of AV actresses in Japan are scouted, is there any reason in particular why you think Rina would necessarily have been coerced into the AV industry? And why must her parents consider committing seppuku? Is it impossible for Japanese families to have...

Anime depictions of high school life are, in a word, quite fetishized. That is, while they aren't inaccurate, they tend to show only a (often exaggerated) narrow slice of school life, with each successive anime trying a different angle (school-related dramas do this too). In response to...

I watched the video. A lot of the "strange" facts are seemingly blown out of proportion for effect, or simply gloss over details that would change the tone in which they are presented. - Quips on Japan's water and food consumption/waste were compared not to consumption/waste of other countries...

^ But America today is vastly different than the America half a century ago. Big businesses exported hard labor because it was cheaper to set up factories overseas to increase profit margins. We enjoyed a substantial surge in standard of living compared to most of the rest of the world. Suburban...
