The Japanese have a high sense of self honor.

While in other places people have a high sense of self.

I was talking to a bartender in Hawaii, about 20 years ago, about the japanese. He said that when a group of japanese travelers walked up to the bar, if the first guy ordered, he could pretty much plan on making the same number of that exact drink as there were people in that group. It is as though the concept of the individual is virtually foreign to them.

But if you are not one of them, it is, uh, different. If they defeat you in war, you are lower than their pets. Which is what allows them to perform the acts of brutality they are known for.

They are like klingons, completely foreign to the American culture, and contrary to the author’s claim, his own article provides all the evidence necessary to point to culture as the cause of their behavior. They may not loot their home town, but...

I think they just have a lot more confidence in their government; somebody like Ray Nagin wouldn’t be elected dogcatcher.

In Japan the police keep a record of households. In the U.S. the police keep a record of a- holes.
