Why is there no looting in Japan?

Why is there no looting in Japan?

  • Most Americans, Europeans, and Middle Easterners are self-serving people. Asians are not.

  • Lack of inequality. There are no poor people in Japan therefore there is no looting.

  • It doesn't make sense to loot with radiation outside. They would loot if there was no radiation.

  • There is nothing to loot. All items(TV’s, PS3’s, etc…) have been washed away by the tsunami.

  • National pride...They're putting their country ahead of themselves.

  • Morals and honor are important attributes to the Japanese, unlike most Americans and Westerners.

  • Because they are Japanese. There is no other valid explanation.

Look you got exposed. Just let it go..........and when I mean go, I don't mean for you to go looting. :)

LOL, where did I say there is absolutely no looter in Japan? Quote me, nao!!!

I can't go looting, my skin color is not dark enough...:D, not my specialty.

I asked you for proofs that I said racist stuffs to good black people and you came back with a quote that I called the black female thug that committ FELONY assault. Your relative or own kind? :D

Already lying? You've clearly stated that the UK should be bombed for the BP spill. Are you denying that? I've never said that race is even important.

I didn't say that the UK should be bombed for the BP spill. I said that the UK should be punished for interfering with the oil spill investigation/cleanup in its protection of BP. If the Taliban were bombed for their harboring of Al Qaeda, why should the UK be spared the same treatment? Is it because you regard the UK as part of the white homeland?

You have stated that you see no issues with white-only immigration and you suggested that integration involves genetics.

OK forgive me for not stating that subtle nuance in an otherwise still insane and extreme position.

You statements about me are lies. Not sure why you keep repeating them. Like I said, you don't even know if I'm of European descent.

It's not subtle but quite significant. Your established support for the so-called white homeland is insane and extreme.

You statements about me are lies. Not sure why you keep repeating them. Like I said, you don't even know if I'm of European descent.

The statements about you are true. In addition, you have stated that you are of European descent. You would be quite the interesting psychological study if you were not though. Ultimately, we don't know the truth in what people are stating here. We have people claiming to be SAS soldiers, among various other claims.

Your selective amnesia is annoying. Just a few weeks ago you opposed my proposition that Americans who have been here for generations are not necessarily integrated when I was referring to the man who was shot in self-defense by the law student in Philadelphia. The forums are littered with your anti-minority, anti-Islam, anti-immigration, anti-hispanic, anti-anyone-who-does-not-look-like-you comments.

Here's one of your quotes:

Links to what you quoted please? Context is important.

I'm particularly interested in links to quotes where I say I'm white or where I say I believe race is important or that I believe in a white homeland. Stop lying.

I'm not your servant. I'm not going to go through thousands of your psychotic rants, especially when you often enter a drug-induced trance where you post 5-10 threads at the same time bashing various minority groups. Just wait until after one of those moments.

So you searched back since 2004 and that was the best thing you could find? You forgot quote the part where I said racism was bad and that
the fact that Australia, like the US, is an old colony that took land from indigeneous people, makes the white-only policy problematic.

Again, your white homeland allegations are ridiculous. You know you are lying on that part. Your stupidity might explain why you feel justified in calling me racist based on my criticisms of Islam and illegal central American immigration. Once again, those criticisms aren't related to race.

Are you saying that I am lying when I repeatedly say that race is not important and that I think the races are mixing and will continue to mix in the future?

Wow. How am I not surprised that InfoHawk, the poster who has tried to say that the mass killing of non-white people cannot be a genocide because non-white people are basically not even human, has such a barbaric immigration policy.

No, I just randomly picked one of your crazy rants.

Are you suggesting that you have not claimed that Europe is the white homeland?

Your stupidity might explain why you feel justified in calling me racist based on my criticisms of Islam and illegal central American immigration. Once again, those criticisms aren't related to race.

Didn't you just say that context matters? Of course your posts are related to race. That's what you're about. You're all about race wars, supposed racially-based genetic deficiencies, etc.

Are you saying that I am lying when I repeatedly say that race is not important and that I think the races are mixing and will continue to mix in the future?

Are you saying that you don't consistently post bigoted posts? Are you saying that you don't post anti-minority statements?

This is your identity on the forums. Asking someone to dig up posts from you is like asking a 400-pound obese man when the last time he ate at McDonald's. There are too many receipts to look through for the specific act.

I still don't see any evidence. You obviously did a search so I'm not buying that you "randomly" came up with something from 2004 that you had to edit to make it look suspicious.

Why don't you answer my questions instead of trying to parrot?

I think sometimes you get confused because your reading comprehension is poor. Saying that I think Japanese and Europeans and Africans have the right to limit their immigration doesn't mean I believe in a Japanese homeland, etc. Do you think I'm Japanese since I think Japan should be allowed to limit immigration if they want to?

You're lying about racial deficiencies. Again, it might be because you don't really know how to distinguish between issues. Race is not the same as culture.

Anyway, can you stop lying? If you want to say I'm a critic of Islam, go right ahead. If you want to say I think countries have a right to limit their immigration, go right ahead. But unless you can back it up, stop saying that I believe in racial superiority or homelands or whatever garbage you're being dishonest or stupid about.

Sorry, but you can't redefine your identity. You've already set it and gone too far beyond it. Take responsibility for your crazy. Didn't they teach that to you in the white supremacist compound in Idaho you said that you resided in?

Fine, you will continue lying. I'll continue pointing out that you can't back it up. I've made some very clear statements here about my positions and asked you straightforward questions but you don't have the guts to challenge them.

You didn't back up anything. You just took an out of context quote from 2004 where I also said racism was bad and that Australia having an all-white immigration policy is bad. I have repeatedly stated that I don't think race is important even if culture is. You keep ignoring that and lying that I believe in white supremacy. Why don't you do the right thing and stop lying? You can still say that I dislike Islam and that I am against illegal immigration... those wouldn't be lies. Do you see the difference?

No, you said that it was problematic. You have also criticized people for slamming Australia's racial instability issues and the White Australia Policy.

I have repeatedly stated that I don't think race is important even if culture is.

You use culture as a vehicle for race. Context is important, remember? I also dispute that you claim that race isn't important. Many of your arguments are race-based. See your recent posts in the thread on the Philadelphia man defending himself. Your argument suggests that integration is based upon race/ethnicity.

You keep ignoring that and lying that I believe in white supremacy. Why don't you do the right thing and stop lying? You can still say that I dislike Islam and that I am against illegal immigration... those wouldn't be lies. Do you see the difference?

If I stop it then I would be lying. You are what you are.

However, we have to be really careful on the definition of white supremacy you speak of here. As I've stated before, you do take great care to lop off certain white groups, much like white supremacist groups throughout history.

Yes, I said it was problematic. Why would a white supremacist say that? It's a synonym for bad. Especially given the context, it's clear that I meant it was unethical and therefore bad. Do you really not understand that?

I don't use culture as a vehicle for race. For example, I have repeatedly pointed out that Islam is not limited to one race. You just don't understand that because they overlap sometimes doesn't mean they are the same thing. Race != culture even if most people of a certain culture are of a certain race.

The Philadelphia discussion is just another example of your misunderstanding and twisting of every day words to mean what they don't. If I recall correctly you were trying to say that an Italian-American (who's family statistically-speaking probably came over in the early 20th century) was not culturally American or some dumb shit like that. I'm guessing I actually said that race didn't have much to do with it and that if anything YOU were the one bringing race into the story.

In context, given your reputation and vitriol, I read it as you claiming that there are problems implementing the policy, but not that the policy itself would be bad. It's clear that you meant it that way. In light of your posts a few months ago where you criticized me for referring to Australia's social ills, I suggest that my view is appropriate.

You just don't understand that because they overlap sometimes doesn't mean they are the same thing. Race != culture even if most people of a certain culture are of a certain race.

You always use culture or some other variable as a vehicle for race. That's where your exclusion of certain people from your definition of white race comes in handy, too.

I'm guessing I actually said that race didn't have much to do with it and that if anything YOU were the one bringing race into the story.

I was stating that the Italian-American in the story was obviously not integrated. You claimed that he was solely because of his ancestors. You don't consider integration to be based upon an individual.

I simply stated in that thread that it's an example of how our society has advanced to the point where a minority can receive justice even though he seriously wounded one of the majority. I was talking of sociological change. When you realized that the defendant was of a minority group, you became overtly angry.

He has a pretty extensive history of white supremacy.

I still can't believe that he tried to redefine genocide to mean that no non-white people could ever have genocide committed upon them.

That's probably one of the more damning pieces of evidence of his extremism. It's scary.

Those are ridiculous assumptions. For example, just because I claim your criticisms of Australia are bogus, that doesn't mean I don't think it's possible to have valid criticisms of Australia. I have criticized Australia's video game rules.

You keep repeating this doesn't make it true. Let me try to explain it to you this way. Someone could claim that you are in fact a white British person posting on P&N to make people of South Asian descent look racist and unreasonable. There's no way to disprove that. That is exactly what you're doing with me. You're saying I'm lying about my positions (even though a true white nationalist would be happy to share racist opinions.)

How can we get anywhere in a debate if you are just going to say that I'm lying about my arguments?

Do you have a pony tail and wear shirts with dragons or wolves on them? Seriously... criticizing video games is appropriate but the White Australia Policy and the epidemic of racist violence is not?

I don't care for what people say about themselves here. Your posts and provided factual sources are what matter. I can't verify someone's personal facts nor have I ever been a fan of anecdotal evidence.

You seem to have high expectations. Most of the time when we're debating and I provide factual sources to refute your positions (most recently in the thread regarding science), you just ADD over to another topic or issue.

We've been over my posts. I've clearly stated I don't believe in racial superiority of any race. All you keep going back to is my criticisms of certain cultures and religions which don't prove anything about my view of race. Maybe you really just don't understand the difference between race and culture? Perhaps Hal9000 was right that some people don't understand certain words.

Sorry yes I do like to think that people are capable of being intellectually honest on this forum. Many times they are not but sometimes they are. You fall into the intellectually dishonest camp. You go further than most by actually using a weird double-speak. (Do you know what that is?)

And you don't seem to understand the idea of using other variables as a vehicle for race. It's not a fanciful concept.

Please don't bring your alt account into this, too. However, I have to acknowledge that I find your choosing to have your alt account be British very amusing.

Again, go back to the science thread where you repeatedly engaged in "intellectual dishonesty."
