Yes, but following the flow of a discussion is somewhat like canoeing on an unfamiliar river, your follow the many twists and turns or you decide to "get out".

Your choice.

You are right. TIME TO GET OUT.

Conformity vs Freedom.

One is often coerced, the other carries responsibilities.

As another poster said, Big difference between US and Japan

I hold a different view on this: Maybe Japanese culture enjoys adult freedom ... while in the U.S. an increasing number intepret freedom as meaning they can behave like a spoiled brat. :h

Again, I think there is a difference between "deference" and "courtesy". In many Asian cultures, one is expected to DEFER to the elderly and to the male. That is different than being courteous to them. The former can, and often is, subjugation of the young and the female. However, I suspect this is more of a difference to the ones doing the deferring, rather than to the ones receiving the deference.

Why do you think it is your freedom to make noise in public?

Because they're weak and foolish and lacking the moxie to confront the elites who hold economic power over them they pound their chests, make monkey gestures and harass those who have no power over them. And then call it freedom.

...back to polka music again, ehh?...

I think I'm going to demand this thread be shut down because I don't like the posts. No one has the right to annoy me with their posts. When I tried to post a minute ago, another poster got in my way and I had to wait. How dare they! Just because they can type faster. And someone also was posting in CAPS, when I was trying to read, making it very difficult to concentrate. I was afraid to ask them to stop typing in caps out of fear they would report me to the moderator. If this continues, I may have to move to another topic! :B:)
