Yes, perhaps :-/. Personally, I find that the Japanese frighten me. Probably because I don't feel I understand them...

The problem with the japanese culture is the authoritarianism and homogeneity which kills creativity and innovation imo...

NN

Have you ever spent any considerable amount of time here??experiencing the people,their culture,customs all those small every day things that give you a better insight into their mind/culture?

every place/culture has their positive and negative sides..why choosing to point the finger at only what you perceive as the negative?

Yes, unlike great and free Westerners that line up in droves in wallmart or in the healthy KFC or MaC.

All free unbiased choice...

And if it trully is a free choice THIS is the nationwide result?

What shall we buy today that we dont need, with the money we dont have, to show it to people we dont know or like?

Anyone claiming Asian are like ants is so far off the reality its not even funny.

Just the blatant write off of millions of people under the name ants or robots shows the ignorance, egotistic attitude and close mindedness.

i couldnt have said it better!!!

There is some truth in this. And, one unpleasant aspect of the Japanese culture is the massive racism.

that make them a very smart nation for me then.

People thinking Japanese act like robots or even worse are emotional robots on the inside have no clue what they are talking about and hqve never been to Japan.

Japanese are one of the warmest and most individual people there are. Thinking they are not because they follow certain societal rules is like thinking we in the West are all alike for buying the same crap everyone does and are listening to lady gaga.

People in the West and especially the US have a notion that they are the only country that has individual freedoms and all the rest are followers of the rulers. This applies as much to US as to any country.
In fact it is the Western nations that have los but all of their so called freedoms and are trapped in a media-like life of so called perfection and freedom.

The only freedom the West exercises te most is the 'freedom' to buy things they dont need. Its not question if you will buy something but WHAT you will buy.

This core of Capitalism has deprived people of their power to develop as true individuals and has forced them to measure themselves against what other have.

Please go to Japan and try to understand its nature, read, talkwith Japanese people.

Japanese and Koreans are like colonies of ants. Individualism is no acceptable, you are part of the colony.

They're extremely brainwashed for sure. Its no wonder they are so technology advanced.

You are right. I have only witnessed Japanese people abroad, and Japan through the media. Do you live in Japan, and are you Japanese?

i have been living in Japan for many years,my wife is japanese so i think i have a little experience about this place.. ;)

look, i did not mean to sound like an ass; at this time emotions are high right now and when you read comments here of morons that are happy that such tragedy happened to Japanese people just because of their ignorance about them gets to you.

i am sorry but i think it's unfair to judge people only by what the media decide to portray or by a few youtube videos that show some stupid tv shows..

ppl think that japanese act like ants or robots which is an oversimplification based on bias,ignorance,closed-mindedness and not facts..
i have my pet peeves with japan but i think i can speak out of experience, there are things that dont work well and i dont like (just like any other country,including my own) but overall this is a very good place to live.

things that seem strange to westerners actually hold a logic behind them; things that one would understand a bit better if one were willing to open up a little and consider other ways.

I understand that for you (and for many others) it's difficult to see through them;Japanese themselves like to keep things a little unspoken,a little unclear even between each other..but that's why one cannot just go around and judge and generalize what one doesnt understand

i appreciate your honesty and BustinAss has said some really interesting stuff,overall this is a good thread

They act like robots or something...this is just not right. Croutching there like they are going to get beheaded.  :-X

Robots...Robots..Robots. ...again.....

They are just trying to protect themselves somehow..

Meso,try to have the grounds beneath you shake to the point that you cannot even stand up and feel dizzy(hoping nothing falls on your head) and then please come back here and share your impressions..

You're a fucking idiot, and maybe you could also THINK for one second about the people living in Japan, and maybe also about getbiggers living in Japan.

There are times when your idea of being funny is maybe not the best, and 1000s of people having died and nuclear plants melting down is maybe one of them.

In America, we think of self first, In Japn, they think of the Nation first

In America, we value individuality, In Japan, they value group norms

you would never see a local Japanese sitting on a roof blaming the president for causing the sunami

since they value group norms, no looting or vandalism

what are your group norms!

your posting of absolute garbage youtube videos/photos that have no place in real life, only supports what some other idiots have said so far showing their lack of respect for the suffering of others

you dont need to do anything but please at least show a little respect for what some of us are going through here,we would do the same if you were in our position
