I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

I suspect the absence of posters from Japan might be due to the fact that Japan is a large country, and one of the most online-enabled to boot. Their own Internet community is sufficient to provide for all their needs- which is not the case of many other countries, whose surfers end up learning English and joining the Western/English part of the Internet.
I believe we see a similar trend with the Americans: there are very few American posters in non-English discussion boards throughout the web.
Yup. I keep thinking i should go to french boards to polish my french, but never do."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin Buber

--"Well you know things are bad when the Koreans mock the Japanese for having bad English."
Heh. I haven't seen that, but it does bring up a point about face. The ones that do post on English forums are going to be the ones pretty confident in their English knowledge.
We don't have many Chinese posters around either, do we?
--"Anyone here speak japanese? Compared to other foreign (to non-native speaker) lanquages, is it hard to learn?"
I speak a little. It's actually fairly straightforward compared to most other languages I'm at all familiar with (overall it's simpler than French or Spanish, except as far as the subtleties of politeness levels go). The big problem comes when you're trying to read and write it, which is very difficult, and why there probably aren't many non-Japanese posting on Japanese language forums.
