Scientists baffled:

What was missing in Japan ?


There was an article in the US World Report regarding the orderly behavior of the Japanese citizens and the absence of looting after the earthquake , tsunami and nuclear nightmare.

Social scientists were baffled by the total non-existence of looting and savage behavior in Japan considering the magnitude of this catastrophe. They conferred with human study organizations as well as sociology experts throughout the United States . Finally, after days and days of studies and meetings, they came to a conclusion.






Guess what was missing in Japan?

 

 










What is the girl/boy in blue looking at? A receipt?

exactly

+1 guys!  It's entitlement time since obummer was elected by the electoral process in this country instead of the popular vote!  The working end of .357 or .44 would make all them into law abiding citizens!  No kind of upbringing I always say.

Maybe the Japanese have bred out the entitlement gene.

[BBF]

They never had that gene or is it a bacteria.

scatter, I think it's a virus, hard to treat.

Japan is not 'cultured' to be an every man for himself society.....different mind think....with the melting pot idea the sauce is easily broken...

For once I have to agree with TM7.  It's not what is missing from Japan it's what is present.  A society that has held onto it's sence of family values and a great respect for others.  In short it's not a "Me" society it is a "We" society.   I believe we lost that when we downplayed the importance of the 2 parent, heterosexual family unit.   We have gone from respecting the other guy to do what feels good to me.

Our individual rights priority has indeed led to a me first pattern among many. That same crowd might just like a communist model be formed from a community model.


It has served them well for the most part, as ours has served us, for the most part.

Just where were these these "IDIOT A$$, liberal", "Social scientists" come from not to understand the dynamics of these two socially different situations and the cultures that created one and allowed the other to evolve, from a hitorically ethically solid culture, through government and liberal PC social promotion? (The social scientist did express a lack of UNDERSTANDING! Had to be liberal and from the USA.)

Little looting? The various theories in common discussion do not take into account that to be arrested in Japan means a better than 95% chance of being found guilty, and punishments often require long periods of imprisonment. After release from jail, there is little chance of rebuilding your previous lifestyle. It almost always leads to severe degradation in one's prospects in society. 

A lot of the theories talked about here in the US are relative to our culture, not Japan's. What do you think the looting situation would be like here if there was a high probability of being caught, arrested, convicted, severely punished, and then financially ruined? In Japan, there is also the likelihood of being financially ruined before going to trial. Arrested people tend to spend a great deal of money to avoid the consequences of being found guilty, so they effectively go broke before a trial occurs.

A lot of kids here brag about the length of their rap sheet.

Corrupt community organizers, fake ministers, union organizers/supporters, liberals, democrats and spineless & corrupt politicians bring you the society we have today.

[magooch]

One strike and you're out works for me.

[Hooker]

This is what comes from our policy of trying to be all things to all people.

Relative to the US in the fact that morals and ethics have been alowed to go untaught and unenforced to the point of degredation of civilization. THERE IS ONLY ONE RIGHT! Ethics and morals are the same in both places it is just that here they have been allowed to die or been killed in youth and adults by a gutless political sysetm. ear

EAR. Right you are. Thank a liberal. POWDERMAN.

When hurricane katrina hit the Gulf States I had been in my home here in Florida 1 week. I lost my home to the distruction of hurricanes we had in Florida. (2004) I had to roll up my shirt sleeves and do all the work myself as did most here. I also had to get up and go to work and work on my house at night.
I was given the opportunity to go to help the people of Pascagula Miss. dig out from the distruction of the hurricane. The reason we chose Pascagula is because the eye of the storm came ashore close to there and that is where we would find the most distruction.
There was 62 of us on a bus that had chain saws and equipment to help the people dig out. We had been through it and knew what was needed.
What I saw, was the people coming together and helping each other. No crying and whining just hard work. I dont know how many said to me. Dont believe the lieing news media we are cleaning up and helping ourselves. They have dropped water to us. Its one particular crowd in new Orleans that is getting the attention.
Guys this experience has showed me there are two distinct groups of people here. Those that work and help their selves like Japan and those that want and think you owe them what you have as well as cater to their needs.
So yes what they have in Japan is also here. A good work ethic. What Japan does not have on its back is millions of unemployed drug dealing, using, sex machines that want work. 

What the liberals have made on the backs of the working man is a dam shame.

I remember seeing on the news as relief workers carried water and supplies in to a relief center. The workers were almost all white older folks and I saw the people they were helping sitting on their butts on the cots provided waiting for somebody to bring it to them. Most appeared to be young and black. Yep, big difference. POWDERMAN.

What your seeing in that second picture, is a result of the great Dem. LBJ's great society. Japan is lucky he didn't have any say so over there. gypsyman
