Japan is the new Canada?

I wonder why they didn't just stay on the sidewalk and celebrate.

There was a pretty strong police presence there though...

say what you will but every once and a while I see a sense of discipline, honor and respect inherent in the Asian culture and feel that the western nations could use some of that as well.

You did not see the head BP Chemicals apologizing, let along bowing, to anyone in the Gulf Coast.

The Yakuza, Triads, Thai mob and Mumbai underground laugh at your pre-conceived notions.

On the other hand, growing up in Asia, I do agree there is a greater respect and pride than is often exhibited in the United States. Now 3rd generation African, Asian and European immigrants are often Americanized and not filled with the respect and culture as their forebears.

I think they are doing it right!

No pepper spray cop?

FARK hooligans must be waiting for the light to change.

No surprise, it would be seen by the US court system as an admission of liability.

nice, this link is flagged as having a poor reputation by my chrome extension Web of Trust, no thanks

Maybe the fact that Japanese criminal courts have conviction rates of nearly 100% and that Japanese prisons are honest to goodness hell holes has something to do with it.

uh yeah, not hooligans, amybe fans, but not hooligans...

there's a bit of a difference

like that "amybe" instead of maybe?

Conformist society is conformist.
