@ Montana - One of our given rights in a democracy it the ability to have a good old whinge about the government. In the UK we're masters at it, I think if we had a government that was better than the total sum of all the governments in the world we would still find reasons to complain. And I find that Americans moan about their government even more than us. It's a beautiful and ancient ritual to be honest.

That coupled with the whole "the grass is greener on the other side" fallacy has lead to this thread.

Do I think Mafoo's serious? Not really. I think he's having a good old moan and thinks Australia may be better for him right now, both the points I gave; but I don't think he is deadly serious about this, everyone thinks it at some point. Don't be so hard on him

Implying it wouldn't be any different if i decided to move to North Korea, China or Columbia.


He's got thick skin. If your gonna call people out over anti nationalist sentiment, you surely better be able to take it in return.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
