The Japanese were brutally massacring Koreans decades before they were doing the same to the Chinese, Filipinos, Vietnamese, Indonesians, Allied POWS, etc.<br /><br />Yes, there is a psychology to brutality and humans can be trained to be such much like pit bulls. Like Koreans POW guards, it is said that some of the most cruel and brutal guards in Jewish ghettos were Nazi-appointed Jewish guards.<br /><br />As bad as any collaborator Korean guards may have been, I think their actions were merely pale imitations of their unquestioned Japanese leaders who gave orders and set the example in places like Nanking and Unit 731.<br /><br />Given the historical and cultural similarities, if Korea had outpaced and conquered Japan as well as took on the Allies in WWII, the outcomes may have been little different. The biggest difference being that the Japanese social order and aesthetic appeals to the West more, so they have come under far less scrutiny considering their behaviors.Nippon Ichiban Da Yonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-56080106916718949312011-12-07T06:48:52.147-08:002011-12-07T06:48:52.147-08:00In SHOGUN, consider the relation between Chamberla...In SHOGUN, consider the relation between Chamberlain and the Portuguese guy(Jean Rhys Davies). They are bitter enemies of opposed empires, but they have many gears to play between them. They can insult each other's mothers and still laugh about it. Imagine a samurai going to a samurai of another clan and trashtalking about 'yoru mamasan' and both guys laughing. Not likely. <br />For the Asian mind, there are the low gears of peace-by-obedience-or-being-obeyed and the high gear of intense conflict/violence. There isn't much in between. So, when Asians are caught in the zones between those gears, they might feel lost and frustrated. They are more likely to go into fight or flight more, or bite or bow mode. Hot and cold, but not much that is cool or warm. <br />They're used to being socially superior or socially inferior. They don't know how to navigate as free individuals with strangers. <br /><br />This could be why friendship may be, in some way, valued more in Asia. In the Korean movie FRIEND, friends are social equals in a society where, outside friendship, everything is strict hierarchy--whether in school, family, gangster world, politics, etc. Friends can bullshit one another and laugh about it, but one cannot do this outside friendship. But among Westerners, it can even be done between arch enemies like the two white guys in SHOGUN.Puppisannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-60468928989553481862011-12-07T06:48:06.252-08:002011-12-07T06:48:06.252-08:00I wonder to what extent Asian craziness--when it f...I wonder to what extent Asian craziness--when it flares up--is a matter of anger/aggression or frustration/desperation. <br /><br />I think Westerners, especially Anglo-Americans, have many more gears. Low gear would be social mildness and high gear would be social rage. But there are many gears in between. In fact, at work and school, shifting among various gears is a kind of social play among Americans. And this play sharpens their wits. Ribbing one another is a great American pasttime(though PC dampened some of the fun); just look at Screwball comedies. You win respect by giving as well as you get. And you keep your cool and rely on wit. And even if you come off worse, you laugh afterwards in the spirit of fun and in admiration of the better wit. Though blacks are known for rage, they too have lots of gears when necessary--in some ways, more than whites. Obama knows how to play everything from uncle tom gear to radical black nationalist gear, though he cruises somewhere in the middle most times. Also, blacks take pride in a jazzy ability to 'toy with white boy', and this requires some pizzazz. <br /><br />Maybe Westerners--and Western-influenced people--are thus cuz their linguistic culture became richer and more expressive than the Asian stuff. This could be based on genetics. After all, the Red man is related to the yellow man, and his entire language seems to consist of few expressions: 'how', 'pale face have firewater?' ' this bad injun; me good injun and kill bad injun for good white man'. <br /><br />But Westerns could have more social gears cuz their societies were more equal(relatively speaking). Since there was more social freedom and since one couldn't rely solely on one's social allotment in relations with others, one's worth or status vis-a-vis other had to be gauged by how one could shift or negotiate 'among' gears. If Asian ideal was 'bow to system', Western ideal is 'keep your wits'. In fact, Western bosses don't like slavish twits(who only take orders) and prefer fast wits(with some initiative). Take Linc Bartlett in the series NOBLE HOUSE. <br /><br />Another reason could be Western competition and imperialism. Having competed so much with one another in Europe and then conquering and dealing with so many peoples/cultures, Western man might have developed better ability to understand and negotiate.(Of Jews are better at this than anyone, but they've been middlemen folks for millennia.) <br />Asians, for most of their history, lived in isolation and weren't(and still aren't)used to shifting gears and socially improvising on the spot. They are used to few fixed gears agreed upon by a holistic community of shared values. This could be why the Irish were such hotheads. An isolated European nation, it was less adept with dealing with the rest of the world, that is until they learned the art of negotiation from the Anglos. Today's archetypal Irishman is Bono.

The Japanese demons...<i>cat("Puppy",varEnd)</i><br /><br />The Japanese demonstrated pretty widespread martial spirit in WWII. It wasn't just confined to the well-bread samurai families that populated the officer corps of Imperial Japan.<br /><br />Just look at the waves of suicide attacks against US Marines and the widespread refusal to surrender - committing seppuku if necessary. The miniscule Japanese POW rates probably also had something to do with GIs utterly pissed at the treachery and brutality of the Japanese when either surrendering to or capturing enemies. <br /><br />Japan's long feudal history with Confucian influence no doubt helped groom a nation of overwhelmingly obedient followers. However, the same goes for Korea. <br /><br />In fact, the Samurai period is dated to as early as 100yrs after close allies Japan and Baekje were defeated by the Tang and Silla in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Baekgang" rel="nofollow">the Battle of Baekgang</a>. Some scholars believe the Kaekje Kingdom in Korea was a remnant of the Koreans who invaded Japan. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kofun_period#Toraijin" rel="nofollow">Over 10% of early Kofun Japanese aristocratic families were distinctly immigrants from China and Korea</a>. The Chinese, Korean and Japanese records are unclear but there is definite proof of close cultural, political and technical flow from Korea/China to Japan.<br /><br />I have a hard time thinking the Japanese were generally less tolerant or violent than Koreans. Also, the image of a Shogun frequently beheading an underling on a whim sounds like another <a href="http://thegoldeneggs.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">Samurai myth</a>.

In the West you can buy similarly butchered pigs heads.<br /><br />The article says the 5 dog heads represent 5 Korean traitors. The implication is that, in this context, dogs serve the same symbolism as pigs do in the West For example, when protesters call brutal cops "fascist pigs" or throw pig blood on someone they revile.<br /><br />I like dogs as much as the next American, but I have traveled enough in the world to realize that a lot of cultural values are culturally relative. Given that many Koreans just started adopting dogs as pets less than 20yrs ago, I suspect this image and role of the dog in Korean society will change as it has in Europe and other areas.Korean dog whisperernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-72758068221397189242011-12-06T17:24:58.760-08:002011-12-06T17:24:58.760-08:00"In general, Japanese men are on the leading ..."In general, Japanese men are on the leading edge of the feminimized metrosexuality although Korea appears to be following this trend.<br />However beaten down and submissive the typical Japanese man seems today, they have sublimated their martial spirit and masculinity partially into violent rape fantasies that are overwhelming popular among Japanese men as evidence by such stories in nearly every businessman comic book (manga)." <br /><br />No, all this wimpy weirdo Japanese fantasy has little to do with sublimination of martial spirit. For most of Japanese history, martial spirit-stuff was allowed only to samurai caste who made up 5% of the population. The other 95% has to kiss samurai ass. It was with modernization that outlawed the samurai caste and democratized martialism in the name of Japanese nationalism(in late 19th century up to end of WWII). For the bulk of Japanese history, most Japanese were not allowed to be martial; they had to be <br />mouse-cial. So, Japan has had a long history--among most of its men--of servitude, wimpery, gimpery, and bow-low mousery. <br /><br />My first introduction to Japanese stuff--other than Godzilla and Gamera movies--was SHOGUN, a howler that became a major topic of discussion at school. We couldn't believe the stuff we saw. Some Japanese guy fails to bow and this samurai runt named Omi chops off his head. Soon after, Omi pees on Richard Chamberlain and boils a man alive. Wow! It got me fascinated about Japan--watching KAGEMUSHA around the same time helped some too. <br /><br />Anyway, martialism for most of Japanese history was limited to a few. Most people had to be obedient mouses... or else get their heads chopped off(at least according to SHOGUN). And Japan's long civil war probably led to lots of tough guys killing one another, which means when the dust settled, there were fewer tough guys left. Paradoxically, the extreme martialism of the samurai elite may have made Japan less manly. Samurai not only killed one another in huge numbers but weeded out the unruly members of lower castes by lopping their heads off over the slightest infraction. <br /><br />Indeed, one could see the histories of Japan and Korea as social experiments in different forms of violence. Japanese, over many centuries, practiced <br />head-choppery. <br />Korean society, in contrast, wasn't dominated by a ruthless warrior caste that carried deadly swords. It was dominated by bureaucrats, scholars, and landlords. They could be brutal with their underlings or lower folks who got out of line, but they didn't regularly chop off heads of those who got out of line. Chances are people who were unruly got their asses whupped. <br />I google-imaged 'traditional Korean punishment' and came upon <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=%22traditional+korean+punishment%22&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&oe=UTF-8&rlz=1I7SKPB_en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=R7veTtTnB4mqqgGI_OSgCQ&biw=1024&bih=637&sei=S7veTtTqKYHlqgHkvKCXCg%22" rel="nofollow">this. </a> Instead of chopping heads, Koreans practiced butt-bashing. Now, butt-bashing, I'm sure, could be mightly unpleasant but I don't think it killed most people. So, if unruly Japanese died on the spot--with their heads chopped off--and didn't pass down their genes, unruly Koreans got aching butts but still passed down their genes. Maybe some did die from butt-bashing, but tougher and meaner ones--with tougher butts--surely survived. So maybe this explains badassness and rage among Koreans. Unruly among them have been butt-bashed and multiplying over the centuries. It could be unruly people, after getting their butts bashed, were even hornier cuz they needed to restore their sense of manhood after the humiliation; so maybe they had more kids. <br /><br />So, two experiments. One that practiced head-chopping of unruly elements over many centuries and one that practiced butt-bashing of the unruly elements over many centuries. <br />Japan vs Korea: head-chop nation vs butt-bash nation.Puppy head-buttnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-83150588755920835832011-12-06T12:40:33.832-08:002011-12-06T12:40:33.832-08:00Heartless and stupid Korean loonies.

In general, Japanese men are on the leading edge of the feminimized metrosexuality although Korea appears to be following this trend.<br />However beaten down and submissive the typical Japanese man seems today, they have sublimated their martial spirit and masculinity partially into violent rape fantasies that are overwhelming popular among Japanese men as evidence by such stories in nearly every businessman comic book (manga). Certainly, the well-document history of Japanese sadistically and violently behavior throughout Asia towards every non-Japanese nationality, especially women, shows their extremely high potential for beastiality, especially sexual.<br />As with all things Korean, the dog issue is divisive. Although technically illegal, you still have elite, well-educated urbanites who protest against even mistreatment of dogs and a others who support consumption of dogmeat for cultural or business reasons. Koreans were only introduced to <a href="http://www.korea4expats.com/article-pet-culture.html" rel="nofollow">dogs as pets on a large scale since the 1990s</a>.

My guess is that when Japan gives up killing the more intelligent whales and dolphins, the Koreans will follow behind by giving up on killing the more empathtic dog.

What stats do you have to back up your counterclaims?"<br /><br />1. France<br />2. Germany<br />3. Russia<br />4. SWEEEEE-DEN<br /><br />-------------<br /><br />Some cultures generally don't report rape, so stats like this aren't necessarily reliable. Most rapes in South Africa are not reported, so official and unofficial stats vary widely. <br />Sweden is very feminist so just about ANY woman will report rape. <br /><br />Many rapes in Korea may not go reported. I took an anthropology course in modern Korean society in college and was told Korea has very high rape rate, but many women don't go to the police out of shame. Police, family members, and etc are likely to blame the victim than the perpetrator. Even when the victim is not blamed, the stain of having been raped is thought to taint one's life forever. <br />I recall listening to NPR in the 90s about Korean comfort women used by Japanese in Manchuria. Many of them never said anything about their ordeal when they returned. And if their families found out, the women were often kicked out of the house as objects of shame. And until relatively recently, Korean society didn't touch on the issue as a kind of national shame. (Today, with victim politics having spread to Korea, Koreans make lots of noise about it. But even though I acknowledge their pain, I cannot sympathize much. I read in the Chicago Tribune that former comfort women protest the Japanese embassy by hurling decapitated dog heads on the streets. What a bunch of barbaric sickos. Though I would never say any woman should have gone through what they went through, can't they put 2 and 2 together? If it was horrible for them to be abused by people with power, can't they see it's horrible for them to abuse dogs, poor animals that are completely at the mercy of humans? Koreans should learn like act human.) <br />Anyway, in the NPR report, a woman said she finally told her son, and her son screamed at her like it was her fault. Terrible guy, but I wonder why he ended up that way. Maybe because he was raised in a culture--of which his mother is a part--that shows little sympathy for the weak, helpless, and downtrodden. Koreans who raise their kids to beat and kick dogs shouldn't expect much in the way of mercy or sympathy. <br /><br />Btw, I wonder if Korean antipathy to dogs is a kind of self-loathing. Since the are not allowed to bloom as complete humans and must grovel like dogs, maybe they see their doglike status in society reflected in dogs. So, by abusing dogs, Koreans are saying 'I'm not a dog' or attacking the dog-inside-them. Paradoxically, Koreans could be obsessive about distinguishing themselves from lowly dogs cuz they act like lowly dogs. <br /><br />Some commentator said Koreans acted badass in Vietnam. But they were mere pitbulls of the US doing the bidding of Uncle Sam. They barked loud to feel tough and manly, but the louder they barked and attacked at the behest of Uncle Sam, more they were acting like running dogs. But Korean society well-prepared for this kind of doggishness. Koreans seem too stupid to confront the contradictiosn of their own demented psychology.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-87075783398612634272011-12-06T06:17:15.312-08:002011-12-06T06:17:15.312-08:00"Japanese are far more repressed than Koreans..."Japanese are far more repressed than Koreans."<br /><br />In public they are. But they are allowed to enter into zones to act out their fantasies. <br />Koreans have fewer such outlets, so their anger explodes more in public. <br /><br />Also, it's not just a matter of repression but manners. Japanese culture has greater emphasis on form with deep roots in its arts and cultural expression. It's not just about Confucian hierarchy but an aesthetic pride in proper expression. <br />Korean manners are rooted in Confucian propriety but Koreans have a less developed aesthetic sense of behavior. In some ways, this is not a bad thing. Koreans may be more vital and spontaneous in their actions. But it can also be stupid.Puppynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-90650693535738639222011-12-05T22:56:06.920-08:002011-12-05T22:56:06.920-08:00Hacienda

If would probably closely mirror the list above.</i><br /><br />Agreed - I raised the overall validity of the list given that S.Africa is #40 and Sweden is #4 in rapes. <br /><br />But the shame of rape is similar in Japan and Korea to a first approx so it's more like comparing apples and oranges than pebbles and watermelons.<br /><br />As another comparison, many Western women complain of being groped, videotaped upskirt or being subjected to some other perversity by strangers on the Tokyo Subway who act innocent or vociferously deny it when called out. I have not heard that complaint coming from Westerners in Seoul.Skebe Sararimanunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-65942062877000708392011-12-05T22:10:05.407-08:002011-12-05T22:10:05.407-08:00"The first nat'l rape stats I could find ..."The first nat'l rape stats I could find have Japan #12 (1,582) and S.Korea #69 (13.3).

Koreans, in contrast, are famous as wife beaters and real rape. <br />Koreans repress their sickness more, which is why they are more sick.</i><br /><br />Exactly the opposite. Koreans are not repressed which is why they can express anger and even fight in public. The Japanese salarymen meekly rides the subway home to whack off to comics and fantasize about violently raping innocent little schoolgirls as hoary old men or obscenely endowed aliens.<br /><br />Japanese are far more repressed than Koreans. This explains how they can be meticulously polite at home but gorge themselves in over-the-top mass murder, rape, human experimentation and excessive abuse in places like Nanking, Manila, Mongolia (Unit 731) and in their treatment of allied POWs and women (Korean, Chinese, Dutch, etc) by forcing them into being confort women. <br /><br />Self-reported rape stats by country are probably not very accurate for either Korea or Japan (shame in both societies leads to underreporting).
