Title: Hey Japan...Got Looting?

Apparently not.

And solidarity seems especially strong in Japan itself. Perhaps even more impressive than Japan’s technological power is its social strength, with supermarkets cutting prices and vending machine owners giving out free drinks as people work together to survive. Most noticeably of all, there has been no looting, and I’m not the only one curious about this.

More at The Telegraph

I'm not that curious. I've never been to Japan, I don't know anything about it beyond they make my Playstation 3 work, and looking at it go you'd think a nuclear reactor powers it, so I have high hopes that they'll fix their power plant reactors because they've got enough experience with that stuff.

I also have high hopes because I live on the west coast, and I don't want any of the fallout coming here, but I digress... GOT KAMIKAZE?

I'm not curious because I do know that culture is full of VERY hard workers. People who work hard for what they own have pride in it, and respect for what's not theirs. More than this they have pride in themselves....A LOT of pride...sometimes it's a little too much pride.

In other words, I'm willing to bet Japanese culture doesn't suffer welfare queens gladly.

Also, they read from right to left...so maybe WE really are the backwards culture

I don't know, I could be wrong. Whatever the case may be people all over the world, especially in places like Greece, should take note of what dignitiy looks like.

Values and culture. The Japanese stress self reliance and do not have a culture of entitlement demanding a free ride. That and it is a single culture, i.e. no multiculturalism.

Liberalism teaches the exact opposite.

Which, of course, is how come we end up with union parasites.

Japan has a first rate socialist health care system, and they hold the non-productive elderly in high esteem.

What they don't have is several generations of liberal whiners who demand life be handed to them or a multicultural society who thinks the present owes the past and demands free government handouts, depleting the government purse.

So how have those "conservative" values been working for Japan over the last decade or so?
