[QUOTE="Lowe, post: 1410885, member: 20494"] I have never traveled there, but my understanding is that Japan is anything but a happy land of traditional, patriarchal values. The demographic situation there is not improving. The young people there are not happy, as evidenced by their retreat into fantasy. Arguably Japan is a different place than the West, with much higher population density to begin with. And at the very least they haven't fallen into the fallacy that unfettered immigration will somehow help them. So far. Maybe it is true that in 100 years Japan will still be Japan. Or maybe their political and cultural resolve will fail. I think that's more likely. The Japanese central bank balance sheet is roughly 50% of Japanese money, and for a long time they have been buying stocks to support that market (!), something basically nobody does. This is not sustainable. I don't know God's plans, and I could be wrong. But it looks like the Japanese have no answers, and they are on a sinking ship along with everyone else. Their failure is in their rejection of Christ, just like our failure. He is the father of the modern world, and He is tearing that world down now. [/QUOTE]
