Everyone knows that there is less crime in Japan. Everyone is aware that there was less looting after the earthquake than seems to be the norm elsewhere.
But you do not say less, you say no. There is a huge difference.
I agree that Japan has less crime, but that doesn't mean that the country has absolutely no crime. It doesn't mean that the country has a perfect society. It just means that for various reasons - cultural, social, economical - there is less crime. I consider it a positive thing, but there is no way anyone could use that information to convince me that Japan is a perfect country that is superior to every other in every way.
However, that is pretty much what you are saying.
There was relatively little looting after the earthquake and tsunami. Great. But that doesn't mean there was NO looting and no crime. It doesn't mean that there are no bad people in Japan who would take advantage of others and their suffering.
Nothing is black and white. There is no all good or all bad country or culture. I live in Japan because I prefer the country, but that doesn't mean that I believe it to be a happy heaven of peace and prosperity.

I never said there is no crime and no looting.
But I do not compare things with each other, which couldn't be any further apart. CAUSE THATS WHAT YOU PEOPLE ARE DOING HERE EVERY SINGLE TME!!
If you would know what happened after Katrina struck and what happens every single day in our World..
and then come up with posting something like this what JohnBraden posted which was two sentences long, or a Riot which happened 30 years ago, then this is a joke and immensly disrespectful to the Japanese people.
I do not compare apples with oranges either!
I value things up first and what I see is that Japan must be superior and that there people must be very different, because of the things like this and what I see every day, day in and day out in our World.
But in your eyes we are all the same.. yea well, we are not as you CAN SEE!!
All I am asking for is that you accept this huge difference and that you appreciate their culture for what it is! A World with almost no crime and almost no people killing each other every single day!!
Just accept that their society stands for something better and don't refuse to see the obvious all the time!!
