Might want to forget about American hospitality there:

Well, that's bad, not forgetting old war matters. When I talk about 'Americans'
I mean the whole continent which includes central America, South Amerika and
Canada ... not only the US.

Not to stand up for Glenn's ideas, but didn't you just do the same to Americans by posting a cherry-picked collection of facebook updates?

No, because I didn't draw or attempt to draw a conclusion about Americans based on the Facebook quotes, I just presented the facts as they are.

The facts as they are? Wouldn't that include posting a picture showing a selection of positive facebook updates by Americans and some statistics showing the relationship between the two?

I was making a point, not writing a thesis. My point was that some Americans would not be hospitable to Japanese, and I provided evidence for that. Nothing more, nothing less.

ANYWAYS....going by the editorials here alot in america stand and marvel at the japanese. look at what happened here in katrina in louisana. we had a flood and people just lost their minds. murders,robbery,looting,rioting,endless blaming the government for not having the response and abilitys of a deity ...and we at least had a more warning to evacuate...yet the japanese people are going thru all this with a quiet dignity.
