Why is there no looting in Japan?

Quote from 377OHMS:

Disagree. I saw lots of americans and brits there making good money. Anybody can live in Japan and get a job etc. Its not like they try to push us out or anything like that. There is an enormous language barrier.

Its easy to learn to speak Japanese but I found it almost impossible to learn to read or write it. Probably the same for most people. There are multiple huge character sets.

So tell us about the Japanese chicks. I hear they dig american guys, but that could be all bullshit, not sure.
 
Quote from Ricter:

I think you're wrong about the diversity angle. There are other largely homogenous cultures around, but with worse gini coefficients (to lean, warily, on that shorthand) that would have massive looting. Chile was already mentioned.

My point was that if you have a homogenous country with a culture you want to preserve, like Japan has and we used to have, you are crazy to dilute it by allowing in large numbers of people who are encouraged to maintain their own cultures and complain endlessly about being discriminated against.
 
Spoken like a white male republican...

That's the cart before the horse, imho. Don't marginalize people in your society in the first place, whether they look like you or not, and you'll prevent a lot of problems. This is not merely hypothesis, you can look everywhere and see it to hold true in most cases. Why do you think the CIA even tracks the gini coefficient?

By the way, I did say "largely homogenous", is there any "pure" culture anywhere?

I ran a tracking station for the Japanese National Space Agency on a south pacific island for a few years and was only in Japan a few times for a few weeks each time. So kind of a tourist.

I did meet women in Tokyo. I have personally never seen a place with more beautiful women than Kiev or Moscow but Tokyo is way up there on the scale if you like asian girls.

What really blew my mind was the realization that almost every woman you see in Tokyo is single. Married women stay home in the suburbs with little exception. The offices and streets and restaraunts are filled with young single women in Tokyo. I never had to do more than smile at one in an elevator or in a Starbucks to meet them. I probably don't need to say anymore than that. :D
 
Quote from Shagi:

Thats a bullshit story by the telegraph paper written by a boy who does not know his history. They easily forget that Japanese looted China at a monumental scale during the period of 1895 to 1945. At the hieght of their powers the Samurai rulers looted from their fellow citizens at a gigantic scale.

Moral of story is - under certain conditions no society is immune to these crimes - lets just not quote recent events to judge society's propensities.

Ahh yes, the Rape of Nanking. Hadn't thought about that event recently. It was the Chinese though...

It's generalisations which are wrong like that statement above. It implies single Japanese women who go out to work are easy meat for westerners but the reality is it refers only to the few bitches he met not not cultured Japanese women whom are the majority.

Same with looting, pillage, rape - every situation is circumstantial largely driven by underlying conditions rather than by results you see on TV.

I would have thought your tastes ran more towards Sum Yung Boi.:eek: Sorry, couldn't resist.
Actually I spent some time in Japan myself. Sasebo, Japan to be specific. Back in the day when the conversion rate was 360 yen to the dollar. Had a great time, what I remember of it.:D

Yikes! Wasn't trying to offend, the guy asked and I thought I kept it clean.

And believe me, I wasn't the predator. I rather felt more like the prey. :)

And I just told my wife that I may have to go to Tokyo for a month to help with the relief effort. Which is it? :D
