10 things to learn from Japan , after the quake
1. THE CALM:
Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.

2. THE DIGNITY:
Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.

3. THE ABILITY:
The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn’t fall.

4. THE GRACE:
People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.

5. THE ORDER:
No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.

6. THE SACRIFICE:
Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?

7. THE TENDERNESS:
Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.

8. THE TRAINING:
The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.

9. THE MEDIA:
They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No sensationalizing. Only calm reportage.

10. THE CONSCIENCE:
When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly








Its freakin' embarrassing to compare the US citizens with those in Japan...
The looting, the whining, the demanding, the blame, the accusations of racism, etc.
We show ourselves to be the animals we unfairly claim others are...its sad...
 
Americans get a bad rap in the face of crisis. For every looter in NO, there were probably 20 who put themselves in harm's way to save others, or who sacrificed in other ways. Same with 9/11 or any other crisis we have faced.

In NO, there were people who were legitimately stranded, with no way out. Asking for help or waiting for rescue does not = whining or demanding.

Not really; my logic is that you whine about Bush & how unjustly he was blamed for things that actually happened under his admin constantly.

you're not too bright....you should just give up now, unless you want to continue making a fool out of yourself...

You're getting to be so very good at being an apologist for assholes I'm really impressed....Obama, Democrats in Congress, actually, democrats anywhere, ...now the New Orleans looters, whiners, and "don't blame me" for not doing my job, Louisianan politicans, its a wonder....

Are you attending classes for ass kissing, brown-nosing and just general apologizing for liberal incompetence...or is this just a natural talent of yours...???
 
grand wizard bravo obviously has his aganda to push on this one.

Why no patriotic gratitude for the thousands of Coasties, and Navy who saved thoudands from death.

Be a man Bravo and say which americans you are attacking.

Hmmmmm....that's interesting. I don't see anywhere in my post where I'm apologizing for looters or politicians.

Just because you hate America so much, that's really no reason to project your idiocy onto me...

LOL - just didn't want to keep talking to the psycho. The mere idea that I "whine about you" far, far more than you mention Bush is preposterous.

You're the board's #1 apologist for that guy - even worse than bravo. How many threads have you started defending him or trying to save him from accountability?

I'll never really understand that adoration, and blind, slavish worship for a politician. And not a very good one, either....

I'm not running away. I'm right here, telling you that you're an immense, very predictable Bush apologist. Your raison d'etre often seem to be apologizing for him. Like I said, it's hard to understand, but since you were asking about it...
