I hope that if the situation was the same here, I'd have a group of old folks to throw in the pit in my place

The Japanese have a lot of fucked up shit in their culture...but they also, conversely, have this remarkable, and heroic sense of honor.
Truly...these are heroes...but moreover, knowingly benevolent parents to the new generation; unselfish. The understanding that the "we" is ultimately more important than the "ME"... Things our culture could use more of, anymore. One hopes that news, globalization, and the respect that such acts engender may spread this positive trait throughout other cultures, including ours, in however small a way...

Thank you, at least some of us see the logic behind this. They need to work if they want to get their free medicaid part B, cathiders, and social security checks. Those lazy wrinkled old moochers

There are other things he hated about their culture and loved about ours, though. Like when they go to work, you dont ever give your thoughts or ideas on a project, even if you can make it better and save money. Your job is to do what your told, and trying to be innovative will get you ignored by coworkers and superiors, making the workplace a very lonely spot for you. Thats the reason that the Japanese game development studios are lagging so far behind, when they were once miles ahead. The elder developers run the show when it comes to stuff like that, and they have a design mentality of the 1990's, when they were young, and refuse to change the way they do things. Anyway, im way off topic, but the point is, their culture has a lot of both good and bad, no different than ours. But yes, at least different generations have respect for eachother, unlike most people in our countries.
