Obviously, not enough of "my people" live in Japan.
Guess we won’t have a Japanese version of Katrina’s Beer Man...Hey, does anyone know if Sean Penn is over there yet with a boat that has not been plugged...
I would love to see him over there bailing water out of his boat with a paper cup like he did in New Orleans.
Something to be said for having a homogenous society.
I thought of the contrast as I watched a video of the inside of a grocery store as the EQ (or aftershock) was happening. Employees and customers helped to keep things from falling and then helped to reshelve clean up afterwards.
ZERO looting factor
Good thing Van Jones isn’t there.
Whoa! CNN treads the line of being totally non-PC. Admitting that maybe in certain cultures you don’t have to automatically start robbing liquer stores the minute the power goes out? Whoa. Not that I’m saying that one culture is better than another mind you! /s
One of the big differences between post WWII America and today is that we didn’t rebuild for our enemies. Personally I think its best for a nation to rebuild themselves. Because of that Germany and Japan are among our best allies.
I heard a recording of a speech broadcast to the Germans after WWII and it was very clear that we weren’t there to be friendly or rebuild their society.
Their cultural notions of order and authority are impressive, especially in light of the disaster they face...of course, until relatively recently they also has an emperor whom they worshipped as a living god, so it can go a little far, eh?
No stories of animal like behavior in the Super Dome.
No welfare dependent class behavior either.
Yes, someone has to clean up all the kiddie porn and U-15 gravure of the “polite society”
They don’t shoot at the rescuers?
How odd.
What ethnicity is not present there? Oh go ahead and flame me for stating the obvious...
Here those that would not loot nor want to be looted, have to have the added task of defending themselves against the scum in our society our political hacks refuse to deal with appropriately for one politically correct reason or another.
Ever wonder why the people of Haiti don’t build electronic wonders or produce nice cars? The environment creates the culture.
No “chocolate cities” in Japan apparently?
Japan has a lack of “diversity”.
Obviously, not enough of "my people" live in Japan.
Homogeneous society, no diversity and above all, discipline.
Sounds like Japan could use some of the much heralded “multicultural diversity” we are perfecting here in the US.
That said, I applaud CNN for pointing out a glaring difference in behavior of the Japanese vs Americans. IMO, it opens the door to further examination of just who the thugs and looters are in the US.
