The Nuking of Japan

[Shell B]

Hmmm, a kid who grew up down the street from me teaches in Japan. He's lived there for years. His facebook posts, pictures and descriptions differ from yours. I think the point that is getting lost here is that you can't paint everyone with the same brush. I brought up the girls with cameras as an example. I was by no means even implying that all Japanese people are like that. I was pointing out that not all Japanese people are grudge holding psychopaths. People are people. Even the people living under one roof are different. Imagine the differences in people living in an entire nation, particularly one as populous as Japan is.

Japanese people are very well-traveled. They live in a very forward country as far as tech is concerned. They produce shows that are absolutely asinine. I doubt the dudes who dress up in little sumo g-strings and make bad television give a flying fuck about World War II. You're being paranoid. Just that fact that different people describe different experiences in Japan should be enough to stop you from using terms like "as a whole" when describing the country's people.

I know I will never be able to change the fact that most people try to fit all individuals of a country into one neat little package, but I sure wish I could. There are enough American people that totally piss me off that I can say I cannot be defined by my countrymen.
