Fun joke, though Japan has the lowest rate of gun violence in the developed world, with about 10 per year. This would be the equivalent of 25 per year in the US, which the US does in less than a week.

Our society is much different from Japan. Try not to focus on what the media tells you to focus on. Try thinking about how most products in grocery stores have added sugar, even meat. Aisles of sugar water, sugar food, cold sugar food, sugar breakfast cereal, etc... common to stores. How all that sugar leads to heart disease and diabetes. How it's difficult to find affordable choices that aren't stuffed with sugar or saturated fat. Far more are dying from eating too much sugar then by guns.
@Steeeve I'm not sure those numbers should be compared though... The truth is we don't die that easily nowadays so yeah heart disease and cancer "kill" a lot of people just because we don't really die much of anything else anymore. But most people dying from those things could be labeled as "dying of old age"... Which is quite different than getting shot with a gun or getting hit by a car while still in your twenties or thirties. When you say "sugar and fat kill people", it means that should'nt have they eaten that much sugar/fat, they would have survived 2 or 3 years before dying of something else (and even then, sugar and fat are just risk factors, some heart attacks seem just anavoidable), but when you get shot at 20, you might have lived much much longer.
@Steeeve . In this regard, nobody's focusing on what the media is telling them to focus on. People are focusing on other people in a country, the u.s., that is supposed to be part of the 'developed world' dying horrific, nightmarish deaths. Please try to stay relevant to the topic at hand, which are guns and not unhealthy food, so we don't end up with lots of replies that go way of course.
@CorruptUser I think that's more to do with the proven fact ( anime/manga never lies!! :P ) that the average japanese male is not even remotely equipped to even get to second base....
If brother Japan would have had a glimpse of either deep cleavage or pantsu it'd be fountains of nasal blood spray all over the place. Again.. And not even because of brother Finland..
That's only 14 year old boys. After a few years, the nasal cavity scars over enough that blood loss is reduced sufficiently for the Japanese male to remain... functional... during reproduction.
@Lord_Skata
That, and they're trying to evoke emotional reactions from the audience.
I TRIED to watch all of One Piece, I really really did!
But after a couple dozen scenes of whole CROWDS of dudes just SOBBING over a mildly emotional situation, I couldn't stomach it anymore.
@Hinoron Been a while since I watched it, but a literal skeleton crying is hilarious. And Usopp's always been easy to upset, same with Chooper. Luffy is still a kid. And I am not sure who bottom middle guy is but that looked more like him straining in a fight rather than crying. And while I can't recall her name, the one in the top right if I remember right is a bit of a manipulator
Other three though, yeah, they do sometimes overuse that (Robin I'm pretty sure cries the least of the main crew? Not sure)
@Icalasari
Bottom-middle guy is Frankie, a junkyard-style cyborg. All the weird things about his look (metal nose, triple-spike chin, huge bulging forearms) are because he's replaced parts of his body with machine parts he scavenged.
I'll say this for ol' One Piece: Each new character is WEIRDER than the last. Can't say it's dull.
@Fr8monkey If by decent taste in men you mean ones who don't insult themselves, then you're probably right. If you say you're horrible, people will believe you and move on.
@Shadowydreamer Who tell you he's not a horrible man, living down into a house cave surrounded by hanging chains and butcher hooks with pieces of human meat. I've read somewhere that human meat is supposed to be absolutely disgusting to avoid people to eat each others, but who really knows ? maybe it's good with fava beans and chianti.
