Really? Never even thought that since they're not allowed to have a military (imo, that cuts down A LOT of research funding -- and besides, lots of inventions meant for the military go to places like NASA and vice versa).

Oh btw, JarOfFlies, I'll back Heeeey on this one -- he does know his stuff. Besides, can you list some of the examples you're talking about or show some articles?

Again you guys say the exact same thing the previous person said...READ for once...ugh. I said I chose U.S.A. as an opinion and yet some people on here claim nations like japan are without a doubt for a fact the highest tech nation...for that I would like proof...I am NOT claiming the U.S.A. IS the highest tech nation...only that is what I think. Ugh people on here are just like people I find in the random spam threads floating around. They all say the same thing and keep repeating it acting like Gods of some sort. If you wanted some information on U.S.A. particulars I can give you some, but its not really needed for my statements. Its just an opinion really, but of couse I can show some researchers/research centers/labs etc... I really think some nations like Switzerland and China are going to break ahead in research soon and may even take things to a different level.

I just dont see why I get flamed for stating an opinion, when most others act like a God and their opinion is a fact...when its not. Do u guys have some sort of d2jsp science meeting and dicuss these things? I guess Im just not in the cool crowd...

It seems my posts in the Science and Technology forum were, as I thought they would be, a waste of time. I could be using my time to hit my head against a wall and I think it would still be better than posting here...this place is filled with assholes who think they are scientific genuises and everything they say is a fact...well it was nice observing this forum, good luck trying to solve the mysteries of the Universe by debating who is the real God of d2jsp.

i was referring to your post #34 where you bashed heeney for not including any facts, then kept on bashing for a freaking page no one cares to read as it is full of useless information, you left no facts at all. then you continue by claiming everyone on this forum are "assholes".

so why you gettin all upset?

I'll give you my simple proof. America has technologically made great leaps in the past couple decades because of foreigners, those foreigners I'm talking about are mostly Asian people (and yes India is in Asia) -- thus, we look to the Asian country that has the most money, which is Japan! K, your turn.

Nope not my turn. Please forget I ever posted here and continue on. I thought this Science and Technology forum might be interesting, and it was, just not the good kind of interesting. Not discussing theories or seeing others point of view on issues, but instead its a giant spam thread for kids who like to act tough. Most people here were probably bullied in highschool/ middleschool and are trying to get revenge here, which I can understand, but it makes this forum a waste of time for those trying to have constuctive discussions. Good luck all.

I just laughed at all of these extrapolations.... alright, i mean whatever you want to believe is fine -- and I won't say that I'm right for sure but based on logic I'm telling you what I think is most probable. The burden of

proof is on you since your opinions differ from the rest of ours, but anyways I'll post some stuff. [did some of my research, and apparently they are allowed to produce planes, i just assumed they weren't since America had initially taken many rights away from Japan that might let them bomb USA again]

They've done a lot in alternative energy sources, stuff like

Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. developed a dry battery cell operated plane (one or two seater)
Developed biomass fermentation to produce electricity from sea weeds
Toyota actually developed a new cherry shrub that absorbs many air pollutants
Cars over there obviuosly have very high MPG (highest in the world), and they are meeting and exceeding those minimum MPG reqs set by their gov't
They have recently made leaps in Waste to Energy technologies which involve less hazardous toxins and more efficiency
As part of its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Sony Corporation is actively promoting the use of solar, wind, geothermal and biomass power generation


I don't even think I need to give examples for this one, obviously Japan has made some of the greatest A.I. programs and robotic machines (which I would consider a major thing, as robots are used literally in every industry that produces something)

I believe Japan's space program called JAXA has made some head way by sending a few satellites into space, one being very big...hmm..propulsion technology has also been improved by them, and theres research going on about space debris and stuff.



Okay, your turn now?

Africa by far.

Japan has quite a large Nation Defense Force just they are not allowed to deploy on foreign soil.

Ofc, they can change this at any time now, because the sanctions after World War 2 are gone. Just need to ammend the Constitution.

They're don't have have a focus on military, but JAXA is making a lot of improvements considering the neglect Japanese space research received for so long.

Might get around to answering JarOfFlies' posts when I finish what I'm doing atm.

One question for you JarOfFlies- how old are you and what's your education history?
