AlisLandale 09/16/18 6:11:16 AM #8:	My completely uninformed shot in the dark is that American culture is highly individualistic with very little value placed in the group at the expense of the individual. Japanese culture seems to promote the well being of a group over the well-being of an individual, so they would be less likely to riot and loot in those situations. Theres also the fact that Japan gets hit with natural disasters like every third Tuesday so its shaped their national culture with responses to them. >_> --- Sigs are for losers <cite>AlisLandale posted [p:908848340] in Why do Ame...

American news media tends to overcover & stretch everything to the point of "your probably gonna die or get robbed if you leave your house, or even stay cause this one common household item could actually be lethal watch our special report Tuesday at 10 (which we will do every year but act surprised about every time)". There are cities where their crime rates are lower than they have been, yet the news media will portray everything as if it is the worst it's ever been. --- Smithers, use the amnesia ray.
