Lousy freeper troll.
I wonder what's different about the demographics in Japans vs. New Orleans (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x636570#636578)
What could be different?

There seems to be no looting in Japan
That's refreshing news.

11. I could give a shit. If you're hit with a Katrina or an earthquake of this magnitude, I won't check
the contents of your cart - take it, you've been ****ed and deserve whatever the **** you can get,

4. Why would you care?

All most of us care about is the health and safety of the survivors. And we care about their grief. Their losses.
How dare you present something that would make us think!

7. i am glad you are refreshed.
tell us, to what do you attribute this situation?
Ohh, ohh pick me. I have an idea what may be different!

What could possibly be the difference between Japan and NOLA?
Three guesses. First two do not count.

Uuuhhhh....not very many Japanese in New Orleans? Uhhh...no good electronics to steal in Japan? I give up.

That's interesting, someone posted a Vanity today at FR, CNN was interviewing a Japanese Reporter and he was talking about the difference between the people in Japan and those effected by Katrina, he said that people waited patiently on line for water etc. and how the people didn't charge their news van and stealing items like they did when he reported on Katrina.

Liberals pretend their policies extend from an unwavering desire for community.
In reality they are selfish and self absorbed. They want social safety nets because they feel life is unfair (especially to them) and they are owed for their inconvenience.
Japan, in contrast, has a genuine communal spirit. It isn't about what society owes them but rather it is about their commitments and obligation to society.
So, where liberalism reigns there is an attending attitude of self-indulgence and no sense of obligation to others.
Ergo liberals steal just as surely as they lie.

I saw a pic of these Japanese that were lined up in a long queue, between these painted lines, patiently waiting for water. It was a link from drudge.

I figured there would be no looting over there, they are a great people.

The big difference is that Japan doesn't labor under the curse of "diversity".

They would sooner die by their own hands rather then embarrass themselves and their familes on the streets by being caught stealing.

after looking at these photos, young man carrying an old man on his back, people lined up for food rations, food left out and no one stealing it, I am truly in awe of this society. It's AMAZING. Seriously is bringing a tear to my eye that there are still good people out there like this. They are so proud :bawl:

Different mindset. Sadly the US used to be like that. Still are in the rural areas. Not so much in the urban areas anymore. Thank LBJ for that.

Maybe it's something to do with "death before dishonor", dontcha think??
But... what does a DUmmy know about "honor" for them to abhor dissing it???

Notice the young man has his jeans pulled up and his hat on properly too. Not that it's important or anything.

Diversity, true diversity, is not an evil.
What liberals practice is self-indulgent hedonism that defends itself by invoking a focused form of anti-religious bigotry with ethnic racial undertones which they in turn market as diversity.
You must never assume liberals tell the truth.

And we have a WINNER!!
Having been to Japan a few times, I can easily say that I never ONCE worried about my well being while roaming around the streets there unlike other countries I have been to. (Somehow I got lost somewhere around downtown Tokyo on some isolated streets.) Sure, they have their criminals, but they seem relegated to their own thing and it's NOT picking on Americans. Japan is a country where they have what are called, "Gomen Piles". They take their outdated "stuff" and place it there for whoever wants it. There is much acclaim there about honor, sacrifice and duty.
-

Because the Japanese are not standing there with their hands out expecting to be taken care of. You know like what happened in the rest of the areas that Katrina hit.

No looting in Japan =======No Democrats.

You know, sir, that is a stroke of genius.

Yup--"shopping at the Gomen" is how the American students and some sailors who lived out in town referred to it. To the point where they'll pack it in the original boxes and set it out.
There is a spirit of community that the liberals always dream about but never have the self-discipline or motivation to do. Now mind you, there are some aspects of the Japanese culture that I really don't care for (xenophobia and racism high on that list) but by and large if you're respectful of their culture they'll bend over backwards for you.

Hi5 for NH Sparky and what he said. Also the Japanese also do one thing that we as Americans are forgetting each and everyday it seems. They have respect and honor for themselves and others. Alot of DUmmies don't as you can tell by their postings on DU. There is a time and place for not showing respect and honor to those you meet and that involves them not giving you a reason to,DUmmies do it because it's cool.

Thanks Gina, for the link.

10. Friends visiting their brother who teaches in Japan. At the local ballpark they leave their wallet
on the seat to hold their spot.
Money dropped on the ground tends to stay there as most Japanese would feel an obligation to find its owner.
to much bristling.
That PeaceNikki is a militant looter. She's all up and indignant and defensive about anyone who questions the obviously and ****ing justified pillaging, man.
Keep your hand on your wallet if you're ever around a hippy chick named Nikki.

I keep a pretty tight hold on all my belongings when I'm around hippies period, Karin. :-)

There was also no looting in the floods in the northern mid west. There is something that I just can't put my finger on.

You do realize, Japan doesn't have a coupla minorities to take advantage of the situation, right?
After all, we owe them a livin', since we took advantage of them 150 years ago!
C'mon you guys, get with the program!
Japan doesn't have minorities! They don't have a built in supply of victims!They only owe themselves, and I doubt there's more than a few thousand out of millions, that think they can steal from someone else in order to improve their situation. It's called self respect! The Japanese come from a culture that stealing loses face. We have lost that self respect, and I doubt we will ever get it back. I doubt we have ever really had it in the first place! Even our own President is apologizing to the world for all the innovation our free society has brought to the world!
[/rant]
I'm ashamed how we act in crisis compared those in Japan. Nuff said............
The way these people are takin' care of business, makes me envious. Why is it we have lost our way?

I love how the OP is being called a racist for simply pointing out the truth.

102. Good news for Orthopedic surgeons.
With all of the hysterical knee-jerk reactions you have wrought by posting your OP, there will be plenty of work for them.

This, and sorry to make it political, but rural areas like Iowa are also mainly conservative. Democrats created a culture of entitlement, a culture where nothing is your fault; you were just the victim of an evil system. Why this is given a pass, when MILLIONS would die to get here, is beyond me and why I question the intelligence and/or sanity of Democrats.

Too many years here of the Liberal mindset. It's almost completely poisioned our socity. Look at what passes for "reality TV" on MTV and such. I watched some spoiled brat DEMANDING a BMW from daddy for her 16th birthday. I would have bitchslapped her ass into the last century and made sure she rode a bicycle until she left the house.
