this is why the culture we have in the us, uk and other countries like it is so important. in countries like japan and korea nobody feels as though they can say or do anything on their own. they have to do what is expected of them. is it any surprise that they all end up throwing their health into the toilet under that kind of system?
- sotojuan 10y agoJapan has a high life expectancy though, unless you mean mental health.
- xiaoma 10y agoThe Japanese are healthier than anyone else on the planet.
- bronz 10y agothen why do they kill themselves more than anyone else on the planet?

- bronz 10y agothe only countries that are higher than it are developing countries and south korea, which has the same cultural problem. you cant just throw a wikipedia page at me with no context and expect me to revise my views. especially when you punctuate a declaration with a question mark like a twelve year old. japan has a high suicide rate. deal with it.
- koide 10y agoYour original phrase is factually incorrect. Had you said what's actually true instead of exaggerating for effect, you might have gotten a different answer. And about context, question marks and twelve year olds, that's rather out of place and it's exactly what you did with your original phrase.
- bronz 10y agoits nitpicking. everyone knows the japanese have a very high suicide rate. i could have pointed out that the japanese are not the healthiest people in the world. the healthiest people in the world are singapore, italy and australia. but i didnt point that out because everyone knows that the japanese are very healthy. these details are not relevant.
- ctrlalt_g 10y ago>they have to do what is expected of them In a corporate environment, this is not much different than it is in America. Also, if you own a small business, you never have to participate in corporate tribalism. I've met plenty of people who own internet cafes, fried chicken deliveries, anime stores, etc. who slept reasonable hours.
