Bullshit.
The JAPANESE are taught to turn the other cheek and avoid confrontation and embarrasment at all costs... This is why Ive seen stuff like foreigners who agressively hit on every girl and wonder why its easy to score, why theres such high suicide rates in schools from bullying. Why someone can turn round and say a barefaced lie to a group of people, and everyone will agree with him. Suck it up with their 'ganbarre' sprit (spirit of perserverance). Which is why, externally, their culture is so peaceful, all conflict is turned inwards.
In comparison, Americans and British are taught to speak our minds, get things off our chest. Case in point; your talking about this stuff on an internet forum, and proposing an opinion, this simple act dispels everything you tried to propose. This action would be seen as rather arrogant over here.
This is why in America and Britain all go round and kill, rape, murder, steal etc off each other. Our internal peace is saved, at the expense of external conflict.
