Japan sucks (no really; it sucks balls)
Japan Sucks. Period. I've got a bag of pizza chips (crisps if you're British) i'll trade for this entire country. From what I've seen so far it's only worth this one bag of pizza chips (crisps). Serious offers only. One bag of pizza chips for the entire nation of Japan. It's a steal.

Why do you discriminate a whole country like that? Maybe you could try to be a little more specific about what you dislike about Japan.
Another question, why do you go through the 2 minutes of trouble of creating a profile for a forum about a country you don't even like?

So, wait... you have the bag and Japan. Are you trading yourself? I don't get it. Wait, wait... You're giving us the bag to take Japan? No, 'cause you said you wanted to trade. Oh! I got it! Here're some troll snacks. Please post back.

So tell us again WHY you signed up on a forum supportive of Japan when you clearly have a great distaste for the country? I mean, do you really hate Japan so much that you took time out of your daily routine to sign up, make a profile, and post an "I hate Japan" thread?
And also, why do you hate Japan so much? If you hate it enough to do all this, then you surely should have numerous, justified reasons for your feeling.

I Have A Confession.........
I had a hate love relationship with Japan when I first arrived. As a young 19 year old away from Maine & the US for the very first time, I really felt lost the first few months in Japan. All around me, other servicemen griped about everything wrong with Japan; mainly it was different from home. The new guys all ventured out off base for the first time to the "bar town" to get drunk and flirt with the bar girls. It didn't take long for that to get old. With no Japanese language skills, going into the regular "big city" was pretty scaryfor a kid from the sticks of Maine. I would have packed up and returned home in a minute if I could.
BUT, and that's a big BUT, things changed fast when I made a real effort to learn the language. I lucked out and met a japanese guy my age who wanted to learn English. Within 3 months I could travel around on my on (with a good pocket dictionary) and a whole new Japan opened up for me. I would hop a train or bus to a small town about an hour from the big city. Usually I was the only Gaijin in town, and people were so good to me. I ended up with a fiancee that spoke no English which spured me to learn more Japanese. After 2 years, I felt Japan was more my real home then the US. Anyway, the long winded point of all my rambling is, give it some time if you can and work hard on learning the language, try to get away from the big cities, and just maybe you may come to love the country like I did.

I'd like to know if he as any legitimate complaints about the country he's apparently residing in, or at least a serious example of why he thinks so lowly of it.

G.I. Joe, no.
A squid or jarhead, almost certainly. Let's keep in mind his very important qualifier of "what I've seen so far" in practical terms very likely means "not very much", given his circumstances.

Maybe he thought he was going to score with a bunch of desperate Japanese housewives only to be sorely mistaken in the end.

Your very own GI Joe Troll. It speaks, just, in easy to understand phrases, such as: "I hate Japan", "I hate Japan" and the ever popular "I hate Japan". Buy now and get a free bag of Pizza crisps Only available via mail order form Japan. Note: intelligence is smaller than advertised

Hmm! Since this loser who gives military men (active and retired) like me a bad name hasn't posted since his original bout of foolishness, I'm guessing he just wanted to vent like some brain dead *****, revealing if not reveling in his colossal stupidity. Chances are we'll never hear from him again. For this loopjob to have wasted his time setting himself up here only to bash japan makes absolutely zero sense. Good riddance to bad rubbish!

Well, I know Japanese girls would turn me down in a Tokyo minute! Hell, they'd probably run screaming from this ugly-*** gaijin!
