Nearly every person I interacted with was polite. I never saw road rage or vandalism or any crime. I saw one traffic accident. The Tokyo and Seoul airports were clean, convenient, and in excellent condition. Both passengers and employees were polite. I went through customs in Tokyo and it was efficient, polite, and pleasant. Despite an incredibly long line. I just flew into sea tac in Seattle and what a craphole on every level. The customs officials were an embarrassment. They were extremely rude and condescending to ALL passengers. They were yelling at people and being absolute dicks. No excuse for their behavior. I was clenching my teeth I was so mad. Then I finally get through customs only to be greeted by a filthy and run down airport filled with shabbily dressed sketchy white trash talking loudly on cell phones and pushing their way through the terminal. Seriously, I'm embarrassed for this airport and the people here. What a shame. Do you speak fluent Japanese and Korean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the better way to put it, is that the Japanese are better educated. IQ tests are notorious for being inaccurate, due to not being able to bridge social, language and educational level differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be some sway, but it is widely accepted that Asians do have the highest IQ across borders. My product design engineer is from (and lives in) Taiwan. I am an OCD ridden perfectionist that most can't compete with in my field, he is on an entirely different level. No US candidate measured up yet. Small sample size in this case, but backed up with 20 years of personal experience with him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberalism is the only mental disorder which is actually contagious and is the worst health crisis we have ever faced. It is a severe mental disorder that should be treated like any other severe physical disorder and steps need to be taken to eradicate it. Those affected by Liberalism suffer from number of different delusions including the belief that mortality is relative and situational and there is no right or wrong and that the end justifies the means. The lead to the rude irresponsible behavior that you witnessed. They also suffer under the illusion that there is no longer any need for the family unit or traditional religious or moral values or to practice manners or civility if it doesn't get you what you want. And they also believe in their delusional state of mind that if you don't get what you want you have a right to lash out at others who you perceive and denying you your rights. Seattle is a preview of what the future holds for the rest of the country if this mental disorder is not dealt with. The only thing that we as individual citizens can do is go to the pols in November in vast number and vote AGAINST any Democrat unless you want to put the lunatics in charge of the asylum, +1 BORG seems to see the real picture! the google/apple generation has lost its mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe times have changed and I don't know it. Japanese are incredibly racist. They associate height and lighter skin with a higher social standing. Tall shoes are very, very common in Japan. And there are clinics all over that offer skin lightening. They have to have one of the lowest skin cancer rates in the world due to how much they cover up when outside. My daughter pointed out a couple of prostitutes when we went to a sketchy part of town for dinner and they were more modestly dressed than most of the college kids I see at WalMart. Women's shoes... A prostitute (according to my daughter...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
