I am not looking "too hard", I am a just reading what he wrote. It's still 100% wrong.
No. Not everyone is rude. Why would you even think something like that? I am going to go out on a limb and guess that you have never been to Japan.
Japan isn't like the US where everyone is worried about themselves first and everyone else second. I know it is a hard idea to grasp for westerners. The idea of lying to a tourist to get them lost would never even occur to 99% of Japanese people. The reason is because when someone asks you directions you represent your neighborhood. If you mess with the person, then they will think "people that live there like to lie to tourists" and that will make the neighborhood look bad. No one wants that, so that's why it would never occur to them to play jokes like that.

You dont know these things for sure. How can you bee 100% sure that such things dont occur? This isnt ideal world. No damn country is perfect. So how the heck do know that what your saying is 100% true? There are asswipes in every country! There is no avoiding it. And I'm not saying that such things happen all the time but its likely that they could happen. So explain to me. How do you know what your saying is true? And how do you know what he said was 100% wrong?! For all you know he could be at the very least half right!
