Their whiteness is of course of no importance.

They are of the civilized peoples, and their society is not broken by the kult of multi. Therefore they do not loot. QED.

See, Haiti and New Orleans.


Haiti is multicultural?


I listed qualities of peoples and examples in the same order. I'm sure you can figure it out.  :hug:

Japan is a very shame oriented culture. To be looting at a time like this...very shameful.  According to Hoffstede's index its also a very collectivist culture vs the more naturally individualistic anglo cultures.

So why aren't the Japanese looting? They're socialists.

I'm not sure if you were aware of this Slargos, but the Japanese aren't white...

They are honorary Aryans  :mad:

I seem to recall the Germans had a bad habit of looting during WWII.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Or do you consider it looting when one skins a deer as well?

Really, some people..

Even more, they're Japanese.  It's their very Japaneseness that has been holding them together.

Well, talking to friends in the shit there as it were, it seems most people are genuinely concerned for their friends and neighbors and what not. People there pitch in and help out when bad shit happens (This may be the worst stuff to happen, but it's not the first time, nor will it be the last. (6.something quake near Mt. Fuji this morning for example.) The Japanese People are all about Enduring. If I had to be somewhere that all that same shit was happening, I'd pick Japan.

Yeah, as absolutely catastrophic this nuclear crisis is, on top of a fucking 9.0 quake and a tsunami that'll claim tens of thousands when the numbers are in, I can't think of any other place that could handle it as well as they have.  The Japs know their nukes and their emergency management.

Can you imagine if this sort of nuclear accident occured in a country with marginal nuclear expertise like Croatia, Romania or the Ukraine? Or the Russians again? Think they'll tell anybody the next time, or do we have to wait for the Swedes to discover it?  And just wait until those goofball Iranian batshit fuckers try to bring their shit online.

They won't even have time to fuck it up on there own. The Mossad will sabotage it with another virus and cause a catastrophic meltdown.

My own theory is that, whenever Japanese face a prisoner's dilemma with another Japanese, they always, always cooperate.  That only applies to Japanese though.  Japanese treat their own and foreigners very differently.

Japanese also self-enforce their social norms.  They don't just obey rules.  They actively enforce them.  If you ride a train in Japan, you'll notice that the people are very quiet.  They don't talk, and they turn their phones to silent mode.  Any talking above whispering level is immediately frowned upon.  In (busy) Japanese restaurants, there is usually a row of chairs outside.  This is the waiting area.  The next available table is given to the party who sit closest to the door.  When that party gets up, the people "waiting in line" are supposed to move to the empty chairs in turn.  Anybody who is not aware of this system will receive barks from the normally impeccably polite restaurant staff.
