      This is a classic western misinterpretation of East Asia. If you actually read Japanese history you would know that the Japanese have a vibrant and deep history of assassinating their Leaders.

      Whether they are a leftist sympathizer, union leader, or simply not fascist enough, there are plenty of traditional and culturally appropriate ways to assassinate the leaders of Japan.

        It’s amazing. By utilizing the time honored technique of “korosu”, this skill has been passed down from generation to generation. People don’t seem to have enough respect for tradition.

      Whereas in the US, assassinating presidents used to be the fifth most popular sport.

      That is also a faux pas in the United States, it’s overly formal and the preferred vernacular is “GET ON THE GROUND, BOY! STOP RESISTING!”

      Exactly. You'll be rewarded with a paid vacation, and then either moved to a new station to continue your spree, promoted for your efforts, or be allowed to retire early with full benefits

      If humanity continues on the current path, billions of people will die in the next century.

        Unless we invent extreme life extension and make it available to everyone and they all want it, yeah, that’s guaranteed, current path or no

      In Germany, it is tradition to end the day with the closing of one’s eyes, and start the next with opening them.

    I know you yanks like to go around shooting each other, but if you absolutely must challenge someone to a duel - so be so kind as to use your sword instead.

      Many of us on Lemmy have Kitanas hanging on our wall, so totally ready.

        Why is she hanging on your wall? Tell her to get down and act more human if she doesn’t want to stand out

    The rest of us are so used to murdering people every day. I never would have thought about it!

    I guess I can stop murdering for a little bit while in Japan. If you insist.

    I for one think more countries should make this very illegal.

    Now I am worried I might have committed a faux pas unknowingly. I mean, they are so polite they won’t point it out. So now I am sitting here, years later, wondering if I might have, you know, murdered someone in Japan.
