Why is there no looting in Japan?

I think people forget all the War Crimes committed by the Japanese not so long ago in the last century.

Too many peoples views clouded by the Playstation or silly little Robots that run marathons.

Im not racist, but every single 'race' of human has its vile elements, whether it be looting in a disaster or hunting Whales for food.... the Japanese are like us all.

There is probably no looting because there is nothing left to loot. It all washed away.

My mate lived there for 6 years and he says he sees buisnessman walking around drunk as a skunk with wads of cash falling (no one uses cards) out of his pockets and no one would mug him.

It's just a society pride itself in integrity, honesty and honour. Being a thief is not in their character.

That was 70 years ago! Many people born around that time are dead!

You should really move on too.

True.

Each generation attitudes change and this is what we call generation gap.

If the modern jap kids were placed next to those japanese people of world war 2, I think they would be just staring at each other in amazement.

Just like today's modern british kids who don't have same mindset that was of the generation 40-60 years ago.

Pretty much every Japanese person is so friendly and helpful. The moment I even looked slightly lost and confused on the underground, 2 different people came to offer me help and to try and translate. I didn't even have to ask.

People in Japan take great pride in their jobs, it doesn't matter if they are a big executive or a road sweeper, they'll take pride in it and offer the best service they can. Always helpful, always polite.

It was a delight to visit such a country.

I'm not surprised in the slightest that there are no reports of looting.

Still relevant when talking about the same race of people.

Really?

Bigot is a bigot.

My grandmother has a "thing" against the Japanese but only because she has first hand experience at being invaded, they attacked her village and seen what they do in person. She's about 90 now. So I cant really blame her.

But if I am okay with it, you really need to move on.

Any chance of a link to the actual blog? Interested if these actually are the typical responses or a select few.

As for the reasons for them not looting - it must be very deep rooted in their culture.

Don't start criticising countries because what they did in World War II, almost EVERY nation involved committed war crimes not just the Japanese. US and British bombing of civilian areas, US nuking the Japanese, Russians and Germans murdering millions.

One thing that surprises me is that all of these things are common knowledge and yet people only mention what the Japanese and the Nazi's did and completely brush over the horrific war crimes that the Allies committed in order to gain victory.
 
Honour is the key thing.

If they are caught breaking the law or doing anything bad, it brings shame not only to themselves but their entire family. Its one thing to go to jail yourself but they will not let their family down.

Its an honour thing.

Plus remember how quick the US was to pardon all the key scientists and then use them and their research to their own means at the end of the war

44 posts before someone tries the "I'm not a racist but ..." card? I'm genuinely surprised.
