Notice the difference between the character of the Japanese people under extreme stress patiently waiting for relief vs. the unemployable welfare recipients and their unemployable offspring looting everything in sight in New Orleans during the Katrina aftermath...look at what entitlements has fostered in this country...scum!
In Japan you would get shot for looting.
Japanese Families have a Moms and Dads Real Family Units..That instill Values and discipline
That definately helps.
No surprise. It was this way during the Kobe Earthquake. It was this way during the Tokyo Firebombings and Hiroshima/Nagasaki. Everyone pulls together. Nobody complains.
This is why American elites, CNN, etc. essentially HATE Japan. Because it blows apart completely their house of cards about "victimized minorities", i.e. non whites. Japanese are non white, and they dont rape, loot, arson, riot with complaints in the face of immense uphill disasters. CNN may be on a desperate search for looters, but they are not going to find any (unless they brought over "looter man" and a couple of his friends from 'Nawlins).
Yep. And if you were a food merchant that thought a serious crisis like this was a good time to jack up prices you’d get the same treatment. But either one of those scenarios are about as likely as the Pope converting to Judaism.
Japanese people just do not have that kind of wiring. A person’s place in society and culture is vastly important to them. A looter would not just shame himself, he would shame his family and the Japanese nation as a whole.
This is kind of hard to write about, because we both know that Japanese people are not saints. They have their crooks, con artists, perverts — all the usual riffraff — but something like looting after an earthquake?
Bizarre. Not going to happen.
The Great Society. Well it destroyed the American black population. Only about 2 of ten made it through. It is a good example of communism. Pure capitalism to the extreme. A total monopoly run by a few elite “rich” giving out scraps to the masses. A union of simpletons accepting their ration.
Yup!
Plus in two years you won’t be able to tell anything ever happened. It will all be rebuilt with shiny new paint jobs.
Where is Katrina today? How’s the progress? Almost as bad is the fact that nothing stands in place of the world trade center. That is one area where I think we should have built the tallest twin towers on earth no matter how little economic sense it made. Yes spending on that would have been justified and it should have been completed years ago.
We are letting the left in this country destroy us and they are making American’s look like fools.
Dang I’m in a rant mode again. Sorry
Funny, we were the ones actually hit by Katrina here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and there was no looting that I’m aware of.
And THAT, my friend, should be the CNN STORY. They havent the balls to write it though.
It steps on their whole liberal ricebowl of political correctness and victimhood, and smashes it to smithereens.
LOL! Love how the Heinekin beers are now wads of money in that picture!
Having done business with many Japanese business people in the 90’s, I have to say they are skilled negotiators. They are also by and large honorable and keep their word. I have worked with many others who are neither.
Watched the Nightline report on abc and they kept referring to the “survivors” as “refugees”. I thought refugees flee from oppressors in time of war? These people are SURVIVORS! God bless them and help them to get through this trial.
survivors? yes. evacuees? yes. the rescued? yes. but “refugees”?? amateurish journalism at work again at ABC. shameless, I dont know why anyone watches that.
The Japanese have many virtures, I’m sure.
But let’s not go overboard here.

Just sayin’.
The reporters working today don’t know the difference between refugee and survivor.
It was good to watch the individual stories of family members finding one another. Two sisters finding each other. A mother finding her daughter... this was worth putting up with the idiot reporter.
“Funny, we were the ones actually hit by Katrina here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and there was no looting that I’m aware of.”
There are many good points made on this thread but this is, by far, the best point made.
Thank you!
There are generations of Japanese today who had no more to do with that, than I had to do with slavery in the South.... yet still you condemn them and liberal blacks blame all white people for what happened to generations before them. You can remember and honor those who died at the hands of atrocities committed during a vile war, without condemning generations removed from that war.
