Why is there no looting in Japan?

I have to give my admiration to the Japanese nation and people, as they have been accepting and willing to take on the massive challenges ahead.

I hate mixing sports and politics, but

Time to dust off our britches and get to work

The Japanese have embraced that, while there are many Americans impacted by natural events that are content to sit in their own filth waiting for Government aid.

Really he should save it period. His hatred for Christians has already been established... I'm not sure why IPO finds it necessary to take shots like this on every possible occasion.

Japan is a homogenous society with a shared culture and set of values. If they have a "flaw" it is that they are not all that receptive to outsiders. Koreans are considered second class by Japanese for instance.

Before we start talking about how great their culture is, they committed some pretty infamous war crimes during WWII. Many other Asian countries like China, Korea, Philippines, etc still hate them for they way they were treated during WWII. I'm not ready to put them on the moral pedestal yet.

Japan of WWII and Japan of today are two completely different countries.

The people of early 20th century Japan were "brainwashed" so to speak on the same level as any other highly egalitarian, socialized, extremely nationalistic nation of the time. Men in their late teen's and early 20's couldn't wait for the opportunity to die for their emperor.

Japan has had a history of undergoing massive change in very short amounts of time with incredible levels of preparedness, order and common sense (relatively speaking). Edo period, Meiji restoration, post-WWII, all three times the country has undergone amounts of change that would take other countries 100 years in about 10-20, and with similar or better efficiency.

Japanese people in general are extremely respectful, have good moral compasses and work ethics and, most importantly, know to work as individuals for the good of the whole.

I've been very impressed with the collective calm of the Japanese people throughout this whole catastrophe, and firmly believe that the strength of their national identity will see them through this quickly and safely as possible.

I didn't try. I pointed out the obvious purpose/insinuation of the article and the OP linking it.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.......seems as though you are the one making racial assumptions here. I thought liberals were tolerant LG?

The truth is that the ONLY thing liberals are tolerant about is Sexual preference and drug use, everything else has to be their way or your a intolerant , bigoted , racist hillbilly clinging to your bibles & guns.

..Did i sum that up correctly LG?

No offense, but have you guys actually worked for a Japanese company before? I had several friends who interviewed with them who turned them down because of how insulting they were in their interviews. Asking graduate engineers if they knew how to convert from English units to metric, etc.

Telemarketing huh, Neocon?

Sounds like you're doing some real meaningful work. Too bad Americans are going to miss the splendor of your opportunity.

I've seen degreed engineers make mistakes with the conversions on many occasions. I usually just corrected them myself. I worked for a Japanese automotive company for 12 years. There are good reasons why they ask such questions. Perhaps your acquaintances were a little too thin skinned.

I'm hard-pressed to consider that a flaw. It seems to have worked for them over the centuries. Too much diversity can often lead to divisiveness.

Still, they're unified. That says a lot more than most other nations... ours included.

Exactly what I was referring to the other day. You are making a major assumption and labeling it as virtual fact.

Ever wonder why you see race in everything? I'm sure Dr. Freud would have an answer.

So? Like I said, I've seen degreed engineers make mistakes with the conversions and it causes extra work for the next person in line. The Japanese like to keep things as simple as possible.

I am not going to argue with you about it. I have experience with them. You've been told about some interviews.
