in Japan it is more of a tradition to simply act in an orderly manner and soldier on for the greater good, which in the old days was the surrounding community, as is the case now in more rural areas around Sendai. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Japanese word for this is an old fashioned one, "Kannagara." Few people speak of it these days, it is from the Shinto tradition. In times like these we can actually see it.

And the posters above are not saying it's a black vs Japanese distinction either. There are plenty of blacks in Missisippi, and as has been stated, the response and responsibility contrast between New Orleans, and Mississippi, and to other parts of Louisiana as well is stark. The distinction again, is one of givers, vs. takers. Yep - it's easy to point to the majority of blacks (mostly inner city) when speaking of the parasite class because 90+% are Democrat and therefore much more advanced in terms of having the amoral, parasite/taker, dependency-on-government disease than other cultural groups in the U.S. Plus, they are taught about the evil groups all around them that are to blame for their ills, which has helped to greatly accelerate the disease. But, other Dem special interest groups aren't all that far behind.
I still remember a MSM report from Florida back when hurricane Andrew went through. They were interviewing some pathetic liberal white woman who was sitting on what was left of her porch in the middle of the devastation - doing NOTHING. Her quote to the media, between sobs, was "nobody has showed up to give us ANYTHING!" I immediately lost all sympathy for the woman (UNLIKE the lib reporter), and felt like smacking her instead. This is NOT the traditional American way - but sadly lack/loss of self-reliance and taking personal responsibility is becoming more and more of a problem as the takers/parasites begin to outnumber the givers/hosts and our can-do American spirit and culture continues to decay.

“Something of Value”, one of the best books I ever read and I haven’t read it since the 50’s.
Time for a re-read.

Sad.
But you know your father didn’t leave under his own volition.

It is a perfect example of what everyone knows . . . but few are inclined to publicly say itDepends on the makeup of the "public" environment involved.
That's why liberals are deemed more "engaged" and "patriotic." They can plaster their cars with stickers without incurring damage.
I learned not to try that the hard way.

“The flooding in Nashville TN was a major disaster and all you saw was people helping people. They were not waiting for the government to do anything either.”
Yep. I remember talking with my Dad about why they built all those houses on the flood plains. I remember the flood they had in 72’ I think it was, when the Cumberland took out the warehouses in East Nashville.

It's been high density population for centuries.
I've been to Japan over 10 times myself since the mid 1990s. I came to same conclusion that you did. If the United States had the same population density that Japan had, it would cease to function. The whole country or the populated area would look like Lebanon at the peak of their civil war. Come to think of it, Detroit and a bunch of other cities look like that now.

Amen. It is an outstanding book. Movie wasn’t too bad either, but I doubt many have seen it.
It never ceases to amaze me what the human species refuses to learn. Or, how many people have to die as the result of repeated mistakes and the denial of reality.

"I thought about it and Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in the 1860s. We have been paying reparations in the form of welfare, food stamps, free healthcare for decades. My point is that mentality is why NO behaved as they did. They were waiting on the government to help them rather than doing something for themselves.I dont get your point." - rtbwood
Relax, we are on the same page... I agree with everything that you just stated.
My post was making reference to the "great, great, great grandmothers" that would have been slaves... Consider the high rates of promiscuity of our subject matter, and the fact that their generations do not have, on average, as much age separation as you might find in a society that follows self control and self-reliance. My point was that most of their great, great, great grandmothers would have been around in the 1950's, not the 1860's. Hence the reason that I put in a ";-)" for you at the end of the post...

How about the trains? You neglected to mention train behavior during rush hour. It's a crush. But very orderly. No stampedes or fights, EVER. That would be embarrassing and embarrassment in JPN is avoided at all costs.
Reminds me of driving in China. Looks like total chaos but some how it works.
