Just so you know, a Nipponophile is someone who is very interested in Japanese culture. I happen to be one. What about you?

I thought it was Japanophile.... did they upgrade it?

You can say Japanophile if you want to. I just call it Nipponophile because Nippon is the actual Japanese name for Japan.

I love anime but I can't say I like Japanese culture very much. I'm told that it is practically the anti-thesis of anarchism.

I've always wanted to try Fugu.

I don't think that's all true. I've been to Japan and sure the people there are more polite than in America and you have to be born there to be a citizen, but that doesn't mean there's no anarchy.

Are you crazy?! It's extremly toxic if it's not properly prepaired and you only have a 50/50 chance of living if you get poisoned.

I don't plan on ordering it from someone with Parkinson's Disease. Heh. But if people are willing to risk DEATH then I gotta know what all the fuss is about.

At the risk of sounding overly nationalistic, (I am, but in a cuddly teddy-bear kind of way and not in a racist or discriminatory way,) Norse culture pwns Japanese culture (I'm a Norwegian.)

I'm not talking about politeness, I'm talking about the xenophobia and social hierarchy, really.

Alot of the people I met weren't xenophobic towards me or my dad, though you do have a point with heirachy thing. Sometimes I wish I was a Japanese citizen, but you have to be born there to be one. Oh well, America's good too... I guess; if you leave out all the stereotypical American red-neck jerks. *sigh*

Just starting to get into anime. But that's about it.

Aaah, but if its prepared correctly it gets you high.

It would certainly be cool to be able to make manga, though.

I wonder how many people even know what Nippon is. Silly Westerners... or... I'm not white... I swear.
