No. Everyone is not entitled to their opinion when it is based on 100% bullshit.

I've never been to Japan, but this stood out for me. I was always under the impression that it was the other way around. The Japanese go out of their ways to not come across doing anything, that'd cause embarrassment for their home or the company or their country, etc. If I'm wrong, someone who has been there or resided there, please feel free to correct me.

*Decides to be prejudice myself* I think it's an American mentality. Seems that Americans expect everything to be catered to them no matter where they go. I guess you could say that we American tend to be a bit spoiled at times.

Sorry for the double post.

@MMM
why dont u just tell them theyre wrong in a REASONABLE manor then drop it. if they dont understand explain again NICELY for the last time. every one is entitled to their own oppinion...and please remember if every one agreed in matters we'd live in a jolly world wouldnt we? No ones opinion is 100 percent correct. not even yours.

Why should he be nice when the poster is talking absolute rubbish about Japan in such a matter-of-factly manner? This is public forum and it's silly to think that you can just post something for the whole online community to see and not expect someone to respond. Anubis_Jill's post irritated me a lot as well, especially the "They are racist they are sexist, and most of their personalities are very ugly" comment.

meh....i guess ur right....>.> i cant say it didnt bother me too...but....some people just cant get past ignorant thoughts...its not helping their mentality if u just as mean...well we digress lets get back on topic, ne?
