@@elizabethtd1006 She didn't smear them. She has a point about "us" not the Japanese. Show of hands... what westerner here has noticed an alarming introduction and rise in the notion by western youth that elders should just die. Die to free jobs, die to give the money to youth, die to stop voting. Japanese elderly give of themselves to Japanese youth because Japanese youth are actually worthy of it. A large number of western youth just want to take and think of it as their entitlement if elderly go clean up radiation. "They should die faster. Everything is their fault anyway." Not worth it.

[@user-ii3vn8tn3q]

Rate of exposure is directly related to risk of death. Exposure shortens lifespans. It only make sense to have people with limited lifespans to work short amounts of time in radioactive areas, because by the time it would take to affect them, they are dead anyway.

My grandmother was from Japan and my mom spent much of her childhood there. She has always found Japanese people to be incredibly polite and helpful. Once, my mom was stranded in Italy, and she saw a Japanese man, and asked him in Japanese where the train station was. He walked her all the way there and helped her buy her ticket. I would love to visit Japan someday.

[@VroodenTheGreat]

I was lost on the Tokyo subways once. A young girl (probably 18 - 20) came up to me and asked (in perfect english with a Texas drawl) if I was lost. She then rode the train with me all the way to my station so I wouldn't get lost again.

I own a Casio G-shock watch, which I was gifted with in 1990. After 14 years the strap broke down. I went to the shop in Italy, but they were sorry to tell me that production of replacements for that model had been discontinued. The topic came up in a conversation with my sister, who was living in Japan at that time. She went to a local Casio shop and explained that I deeply cared for that watch. They asked her to leave her phone number and address. They contacted their main depot for spares, and someone was so nice to spend hours looking for a possible remaining spare. Two weeks later I received it. FOR FREE, air mail fee included, courtesy of Casio. I sent a letter back, thanking them. Sadly, it stopped working a couple years ago; but I still keep it in my drawer, as a reminder.

[@nirfz]

I own one since 07. (with a "10 year battery life"... the battery still works fine today!) a few years back the outer plastic housing (that cushions the watch) had a crack. (it's old and has seen sun and chemicals...) But a short search online made me find an actual store with replacement parts and so i bought a new outer housing for a reasonable price and replaced it myself. I would not have thought that they even made replacement parts, apart from the watchstraps. What i wanted to say is: they are pretty awsome with replacement parts for these supposedly cheap watches!

There's plenty of evil in Japan. They are human beings, not paragons. Their society is polite and almost obsequious to some people. Don't confuse that with an affinity for "good" while you admire their responsibility . I have nothing against them. But a KZbin video doesn't relieve them of their human condition. And humans are not very nice. That's just the way we are built. No national border changes it.

Yes Japan is wonderful, to the casual observer. Live there as a foreigner and you will really learn the meaning of discrimination. They are one of the most racist countries on earth. If a foreigner marries a native, has kids and the native parent dies while kids are still young not only is the remaining parent forced out of the house and into foreigners accommodation but due to government policy the children are taken away and given to relatives of the deceased to raise! The foreign parent has no rights. As far as Japan is concerned the children of a mixed family are legally single parent children.

You mean, they dump the radiation into the sea regardless of polluting the land and countries around, so that their off-springs have to deal with the radiation.

Very unethical country.
