It boggles my mind that so many Robot advances and so much Robot related news is Japanese, is it because everyone goes there and so it has a pool of Robo-Scientists or is it the obvious: The Japanese are aliens (think about their eyes and ridiculous way of speaking) . I saw robots doing kung-fu on each other, robots cracking jokes, robots walking and carrying one end of a plank of wood balancing properly, a tiny wincy eeny peeny robot fyling all on its own - thinking powering everything on its own --- all Japanese .

 WHY ? ? ? ? ? ?

Because their ultimate goal is to make a robot that looks like a 14 year old school-girl that they can have sex with.

Easy.
They are more concerned about bettering the lives of their people through science and technology rather than wasting the money by sending people to war with no resolve.
I wonder why there's so many racist comments on this board. The sad thing is the people who are racist seem to be into heavy drugs and/or drug dealers. I suppose the scapegoat theory is true.

Racist - who was racist ???
So they like cute looking girls - I have no problem with that - I was not intending to be negative even so much as one iota .
I have read many surveys that say that east asians have the highest I.Q. of humans on this planet, Tokyo's ten year olds have quite a bit more I.Q. than ten year old Londoners and Washintoners .
I have seen Robots (in Japan) talking to elderly people and reminding them to take their medicine .

Well it was more of

And it's not just you it's a few people on the board. I don't take offense to the comments because it's an internet board.
The thing I find intriguing, however, is the fact that these same people will write trip reports about breaking their ego and becoming one with the world etc etc only to come back and talk about hate.
It's more irony than the actual racism. OTD is filled with it ha. So I wasn't just singling you out. I figured I'd just state my viewpoint since it was relevant.

Sorry Afroshroomerican for making you think there is racism here when there isnt. I have a friend who seems to think that the Japanese are another species, I think its funny that he thinks like that, I am only messing around, I actually find there language awesome .I am not racist in the slightest .
Anyway lets get back to the topic shall we .
Why are the Japs the best roboteers? ? ?

Oh it's definately here. I'm sorry if you didn't mean it offensively but there are a good amount who do, so it's hard to differentiate. Trust me.

Just a random search I did of the great word because I didn't feel like looking thru the OTB topics to find them. Quite a few come up tho. Heck, a few are even mods here *LAWLS*

Think about that movie I Robot. Japan has a self defence force (does it say anything about robots?) Once enough people have one and they are being used as military units around the world, The take over the world program is activated.

Simple answer: Priorities.
It's what they WANT to do, and it's something they invest heavily in. This is similar to asking: "Why are americans so good at football?" (american football that is)

I think since WWII, they have adopted a pacifist constitution. With all your engineers, work force, and raw materials that can't be used for the R&D of weapons, might as well use it for something more constructive.

Though this isn't really the place for debate (and I will leave it at this, unless you wish to take it to a more proper forum) most everything you see regarding racist (a word I also believe is a bit of a misnomer) comments on this board is in jest.
In the case of the word nigger or nigga, it's typically used here more in protest that it's accepted by much of the black community for use among themselves but not by those who aren't black - even when used as a term of endearment. Is that not itself bigoted?
I've seen only a couple of instances where people were honestly being derogatory. Mostly though it's nothing more than a stereotypical observation you'd hear any comedian make. It's funny because people can see the relevance but understood that it doesn't apply to everyone and isn't meant to offend.
I use the word and crack jokes without so much as a hint of ill will. I have many friends of all races. Two in particular, one black and one Mexican, stick out in my mind as friends that I would count on above anyone. No matter what I needed them for, they would do whatever they could to help.
Don't take it so seriously on here in general and especially OTD. That place is the church of irreverence and political incorrectness.
Hey, that should be our new slogan!

After being conquered in WWII, Japan really focused itself on developing quality products, with much of the effort being placed in technology.
The fact that we forced Japan to have practically no military freed up a LOT of money to be put into development of a robust technology industry.
To oversimplify it, Japan getting it's ass kicked really kick-started their prowess in technology.

Is that a Japanese question mark generator you're using? Man, it really pumps them out fast, doesn't it?
The American ones break before they can type half as many question marks.

There's a joke in Spain about this, it goes something like "Spain is so unlucky that if it fought against USA, it would win"
