Japan England
 
Isn't it interesting that Japan and England are both island nations and both have the reputation for being very inhibited?

Pookie 05.30.2008 07:33 PM

Queer.

Lurker 05.30.2008 07:38 PM

Why?

Lurker 05.30.2008 07:39 PM

Does the inhibition extend to Wales and Scotland? Does it even exist in England or is it just a stereotype?

Pookie 05.30.2008 07:40 PM

That's the question. I didn't think the Japanese were especially inhibited.

demonrail666 05.30.2008 07:46 PM

Japanese people are polite. Whether that makes them inhibited or not I don't know. I've only met a couple of English people but they seem pretty normal to me. Certainly not overly inhibited.

Lurker 05.30.2008 07:48 PM

I think the whole binge drinking thing in Britain is because people are inhibited.

Toilet & Bowels 05.30.2008 08:01 PM

in general they are, even more so than the english, and that's why fringes of japanese culture are so freakish

Lurker 05.30.2008 08:19 PM

Yeah, as a kind of outlet for all that is inhibited. The more inhibited the more exagerated the outlet.

Great Britain is an island, but England is not.

demonrail666 05.30.2008 08:41 PM

Australia is sort of an island too, and 99% of australians I've met are the complete opposite of inhibited.

Yeah I know, but it's still an island nation.

Should Wales and Scotland be including in what I'm talking about?

And anyway if you're being pedantic Great Britain is actually a collection of islands.

pokkeherrie 05.30.2008 08:47 PM

Lurker 05.30.2008 09:08 PM

i have a friend who is australian and last summer i went to his wedding and he had us all piss drunk out on the golf course of the hotel in the middle of the night playing some sort of war game. and he pulled his underwear up his asscrack and sumo wrestled.

inhibited? i think not. so i would definitely be in agreement.

australians are mostly a bunch of conservative fucks

This Is Not Here 05.31.2008 05:03 PM

I know what I like, and I like what I know.
