Japan doesn't really have to spend that much because they are only building up their navy for defense purposes hence the "self-defense force" on all their military agencies. The US can just fill up some holes in case war breaks out. The US doesn't have a choice really. Keep it up our tomodachi...
Wow I didn't know Filipino maids in Japan make that much. That's pretty good actually. We actually have a sitter for my grandma in the Philippines and she only gets 3,000 pesos a month. Now I feel bad.
Wow what great time we're living in! Who would have thought that these two brutal enemies after 70 years would now hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, protect each other. This reminds me of a song by Brad Paisley called "welcome to the future"

Your country was there since day 1. How else can we thank you? Actually I tried to reach out to a few Japanese, many of them American born, at an anime expo in LA last week just to say thank you. Many were all smiles especially the female Japanese cosplayers (cuteness) and others thought I...
The Chinese are generally peaceful people just like any other Asian countries. It's just the keyboard warriors who are either getting paid to post propaganda or brainwashed by their state ran media outlets.
This is very true. Thinking about it makes me ashamed of my homeland in all honesty. But this is not the only problem we are dealing with at this very moment so it is really hard to stop any means of prostitution. And on top of that we probably have the most career politicians in the world...
You can have dual citizenship. You can be a US and Philippine citizen. It just depends on what countries allow this. The Philippines enacted this law in 2003.
