I otherwise happen to be fascinated with Japan and it's culture and am studying the language at university.

Ronin4hire this was not directed at you. I was making a general statement to those who like to continuously bash other countries for their own moral high ground without taking a good long look at other factors. Yes i have seen you defend your beliefs regardless of culture but many here are just incapable of doing so. That old saying think outside the box is impossible for some people no sweat of my back. But no i was not aiming the statement at you.
OK im going to make a suggestion that we get this topic back on track before a mod comes a long and just locks it. I know everyone is passionate about what they believe i am the same way and i have enjoyed reading everyones arguments but i would prefer not to see another thread go the way of the dinosaur.
