True... ha, but I know that if I was in Japan, I wouldn't care, because, for one, I'm in Japan : D

I was generalizing

of course all people aren't assholes. There's incredibly nice and rude people wherever you go. But in generalizations, there are far more nice people in Japan.

me too, I go out of my way to thank people, SMILE (this is a big one) and just in general notice people for the things they do. Even just a small smile to someone can make them feel a lot better, yet if you smile to someone here, chances are they'll think you are crazy.

I guess I did.

... But, whatever the case, I don't deny that America is different from Japan.
I understand what you're saying, don't worry.

of course, sometimes i can be listed as one of those "assholes" especially in car.
I'd be the person, everyone eggs. : D
naaah, i'm actually pretty mellow, until I'm really pissed, then I'm scary.

I would hope so!
I'm pretty sure I have a somewhat undistorted view of Japan, but I won't know unless I see 24 hour footage of every place

I won't ever know unless I get to see it for myself.
