Quote from Shagi:
[B[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. [/B]
Because they prepare for disaster in their island for (endemic) crisis. All the schools teach this. Like some of the Caribbean people.

Quote from Eight:
that's institutional looting, not individuals running amok...
Quote from Shagi:
Ooohh I understand now because it's Japanese looting its not proper looting it's now some how qualified and justified - it's war, its brainwashing, its institutional but if its blacks in America or Haiti looting its unqualified greedy looting.
Quote from DoneNDone:
This is a rhetorical question, right?
You'll witness the same reaction in any mid-western town after a hurricane, flood, blizzard. The differences and the reasons are obvious. Japan is filled with Japanese... and the small-town Mid-West is filled with American's, not hyphenated ones, ...
The Japanese will not require Senn Penn's leadership, that's for fucking sure ...
Quote from olias:
I'm not sure you meant it this way, but like someone was saying earlier, looting is less likely because of the homogeneous make-up of Japan. Japanese are less inclined to loot from their neighbor because there neighbor is also Japanese, and therefore 'one of us'. Goes back to a point I've tried to make over and over again. Human beings can do terrible things to people that they see as 'them'....something different than themselves....not one of 'us'. Our goal should be to try and remove those superficial labels and distinctions that we use to separate each other. There's just one human family.
