Why is there no looting in Japan?

[Sheilbh]

I have admired the Japanese queues and orderly panic-stricken 'traffic jams'.

I think Mono's probably right and I'd say it's probably the cohesion and sense of togethernes, that people have said has held Japan's economy back, that's helped and will help in their response.

What a commuter's paradise.

It's also considered good manners to feel up any women you're squashed next to.

Wait, what?

[Admiral Yi]

Not really good manners, but it's not that unusual for attractive women to get pelvic exams during rush hour.

You've never heard about this?

BBC reports Anime convention canceled. At least one good thing happened in this shitstorm.

Too bad the convention didn't get a killing dose of rads and nobody else.

People rarely go to the police over anything short of murder/grand larceny. You're supposed to suffer in silence and fix your own problems.

Ok, if I ever get laid off my next job will be teaching Engrish to the Japanese.

I thought even Slargos had conceded that his was a boring a stupid schtick that needed replacing.  Why is he posting more epic fail when even he knows better, and why are people responding to it when even they know better?

Boredom?

Boredom?

Yes, and more boring as it progresses.  there are a few flashes of amusing petulance, but that's about it.

[Ed Anger]

We will all have a jolly laugh when he bones a mud person and has a mud baby.

For five quid I'll send you a pair of mine. Saves on laundry.
