I can accept that Japanese culture is very different to that of most western countries but I do not accept that it is better. From a western perspective I think there's a lot about Japanese culture that we could learn from but I also think there's a lot the Japanese could learn from western culture. I had dinner last Saturday night with 3 Japanese friends. All 3 have decided to live in Australia and all 3 do not wish to return to live in Japan. One already has permanent residency here. They much prefer life here in Australia to life in Japan. And I prefer life in Japan to life here in Australia!
Whether one culture or society is 'better' than another is purely a personal, subjective thing. It is not some sort of absolute like you are trying to make it out to be.
We all know that you have an irrational love of everything Japan. No need to continually harp on about it.
