LUTERS WILL BE SHOT
When I read this and how the Japanese help each other the word Honour came to mind.
Because nobody is interested in looting twisted metal and debris mixed up with bodies? That sounds terrible, I know, but there’s no other way to say it.
Definition of CIVIL
1
a : of or relating to citizens
b : of or relating to the state or its citizenry (civil strife)
2
a : civilized (civil society)
b : adequate in courtesy and politeness : mannerly (a civil question)
Note this last definition. Most people visiting Japan remark on this very thing
Values
Given the tempered responses so far it is safe to say DOJ head Holder may have been right when he said we were cowards when it came to discussing race.
It is not the elephant in the room we are ignoring but the fear of being called a racist for observing and stating the obvious.
No feral black population.
Ask a more difficult question.
They are a country of moral, family, and high principles....they are self-dependent, not government parasites who think that whatever someone else has, they should "share"....
They never imported looters.
No minorities with delusions of entitlement?
Because Japan is Japan. Easy question.
There wasn’t looting in Mississippi, either. They people hung together. Race was not an issue - all races helped.
Of course, having a LOT of active and retired military in the population helped.
It really comes down to morality and culture. If you have a strong culture, people know and trust each other, etc, no looting.
If you have a balkanized culture and/or an entitlement culture, you get looting.
Because most of the young men have functional fathers?
Anecdote #1: When Japan co-hosted the soccer World Cup back in 2002, I saw a number of media reports about how Japanese soccer fans would stay behind after a game they attended -- to clean up the garbage in their section of the stadium.
Anecdote #2: There was a story posted here on FreeRepublic a few years ago about a business traveler from the U.S. who left his laptop computer on a Tokyo subway train. He reported the lost computer to the police, but the police told him that nobody had turned anything in. Later that day, the visitor's office in Tokyo was visited by a local stranger carrying the missing laptop. The Japanese guy had found the computer on the train and then spent the entire morning tracking the American visitor down, so he could return it to him.
To me, nothing personifies Japanese culture more than this photo:
That photo says it all: (1) one group of Japanese people willingly subjecting themselves to manhandling by government employees so they can get stuffed into a crowded subway car; (2) well-dressed subway employees doing their job, without so much as a hat out of place (and wearing white gloves, of course); and (3) a second mass of subway riders waiting at patiently at the foot of a crowded stairway for their turn to get on the next train, while doing their best to keep anything more than a stray foot from crossing the white line painted on the subway platform.
The ie.
Japan doesn’t have a minority segment of their population who were formerly slaves who were freed and now feel entitled.
