I guess you missed the joke that Japan has this culture somewhat. In my western mind it is something that samuria do. Regardless, reading up on the Code of Ham

Regardless, reading up on the Code of Hammurabi is interesting :)
- alanctgardner2 13y agoSo the joke is...you're a bigot? Seppuku is not a common part of modern Japanese culture, nor is the death penalty a uniquely Japanese idea.
- Bootvis 13y agoI guess that's the joke but it isn't mine. I don't think understanding the joke makes me a bigot. Fact is, seppuku is a part of relatively recent Japanese culture whereas it's not a part of European culture. In Europe suicide has been socially unacceptable since the fall of the Roman Empire.
