I think so, too.
People who are "DANKAI" or more aged generations seem unlikely to think about Jananese future seriously,
and what is worse, almost all of them like to watch NHK and strongly believe the TV programs or information provided by it is almost true.
It's hard to make the people persisting in one belief realize that they should change their thoughts.
What younger generations can do is go to the polls and choose the statemen/women truely hoping to change this country better.

Oh?
It's conducted when you are on Niconico, and you are suddenly linked to a questionnaire video,
then you are asked to answer all questions within 200 seconds,
one person can vote only once. How many people answer? It's about 100,000.
The admins break down data into each category - like approval rates in each generation.
As for me, I happened to take part in the poll once.
I'd say it's safe to say it's the voice of the Internet users.
Though, of course, that doesn't mean all the Japanese people.

Hey, I heard that another king of tax evation appeared in England.
I'm concerned the british government is also loopy. You know, after it came to light
Hatoyama tried to evade tax, he started to lose his trust completely and

They are a group of people that don't like the Obama administration.
I personally don't like them very much though; they're the same people that said "love it or leave it" when George Bush was in office.
They think that the United Stats is going to become some Socialistic half-Communist tyrannic empire that wants to enslave their children and kill old people
(they actually thought the Health Care bill included killing old people).
The same people also pulled their kids out of school when a speech that Mr. Obama made for the nation's students was supposed to be shown because they thought it would be propaganda.

In this globalized world we're living in, being monolingual makes you isolated both culturally and politically.
Even if you're not traveling anywhere you still have plenty of opportunity to use the language you've learned.
You can experience media in its original language (I always try to do that), communicate with people from different countries through the internet and get a different perspectives on global events by reading news from other countries.

Here's a funny story.
One day on 4chan's '/jp/ - Otaku Culture' board somebody asked for a translation to a panel in a hentai manga.
It meant 'The pleasure of being cummed inside' but everybody began to argue about whether it'd be better to just translate it as "I love to be cummed in" ,ect
They then continued to argue about whether it even mattered if you actually translate hentai or just put text into the boxes because the story isn't really the point.
Now on /jp/ if you ask them to translate anything from Japanese to English the first reply will always be: My Japanese is a like shaky... but I think it has something to do with pleasure, and cumming.
You can even try it yourself.

About Hatoyama's resignation.

Because, in my view, all political parties are hopeless in Japan today.

What fact do I have to confirm?
I don't have any confidence in her. She's unrealistic.
>>660
I'm not completely sure if what you meant by the Restoration was, like, all the current political parties
should be disbanded once and then they should form new parties only if their basic policies and thoughts are shared.
But if that's the case, yeah, I agree with you totally.
We shouldn't support Democratic Party in order to achieve this. If DP has enough seats in the Diet, then
they'll say, " voters gave us a chance to do anything we like". That'd be the worst.
The least we could do to avoid such situation is to vote against Democratic Party and make them understand
what we expect politics to be. That's why I'm on your side.
Now to answer your question, able politicians...yeah...I think that depends on personal lookouts on life,
you know, there might be a person who still believes Hatoyama is a good politician, but
in my opinion, Ishiba shigeru deserves your attention, if you are the type of person who
felt irritated at the news that mouth-and-foot disease is spreading in Miyazaki prefecture or that Hatoyama
was responsible for causing trouble in getting rid of the dangerousness of Futenma Camp.
He knows what he's doing. He's trustworthy. Anyway, I think it's best for you to see Niconico videos in the political section.

Indeed, Sigreru Ishiba may be trustworthy. I do think his speaking is always simple and easy to people.
But, to my surprise, he does believes in UFO. I think he is too obedient and doesn't doubt if UFO really
exists or not. At the point, I can't have high opinion about him.
Because, I don't believe in the occult at all. If you say "UFO really exists!", let me see the testimony.

I think Japanese names shouldn't be romanized.
Nobody who doesn't speak Japanese can remember those convolutions of
syllables anyway.
Instead, people should use a translation of the meaning of the characters
that make up their name. Like, someone named 真田 wouldn't be called
"Sanada" abroad, but instead "Truefield."
How cool is that? I wouldn't mind being called Mr. Truefield.

The least I could say is that things have been worse than they used to be after Democratic Party
took over Japan.They call themselved Democratic, but what they did for the past 9 months made our lives
worse. Come to think of it, Kan is also responsible for that since he was a member of the Hatoyama administaration,
but he became Prime Minister. What was that?
He sure can be a good performer and entertainer, but he isn't the appropriate kind of person who deserves to be manage
a state. Sadlly, some Japanese people love to make out a performer to be a good politician (and get disappointed after
he or she isn't far from it)..
Anyway, what we should do now is stop DPJ from doing anything as they like.
In order to do so, we should vote against the party. I'll probably vete for LDP or
Tachiagare Nihon or Nihonsousin, I'm still not decided on where to vote for, but
one thing is for sure; I'll never ever support DPJ.
