I do love the Japanese culture as the children are taught respect for their elders and family in general. Each family wants their son or daughter to grow up to be a person that represents the whole family well. I admit I haven't been there in quite a long time so no idea what it's like now. But based on their society overall, it does appear that they side more to the side of goodness than badness. It's something that might be objectionable if you are an adolescent growing up with less freedom to or dress how you want in school, but in the end the society ends up being much more civil. They even have a handle on teaching how to live healthy lives which keeps the health care costs down.
So my point is that it's all one culture that works for them. Here in the US we have too many people who have not assimilated into the American culture and we just have rouge cultures all over the place. Some better than others, but it's pretty much corrupted and over the generations of having too much freedom, we have been corrupted on a societal and governmental level like we have never seen before. So while we value our right to bare arms as citizens, we do not enjoy the fruits of a many generations of well meaning families that worked to train their children well. The schools are run by libs and while they might seem to have good intentions, they care much less about the family unit and it's importance and instead make insane assertions on letting the children choose their identity and demand others respect their pronouns and attempt to claim ownership of your child's mind.
The idea that woman would ever want to abort their baby for any other reason than ra** or threat to her own life is just mind boggling, but directly a result of libs in charge of schooling and dysfunctional families. Abortion in Japan is allowed but only under a term limit of 22 weeks for endangerment to the health of the pregnant woman, economic hardship, or ra**. Of course to own a gun in Japan you have to have a specific reason to own it and pass marksmanship tests to 95% accuracy every three years. That's similar in China as well. Most police in Japan don't even carry a gun and just utilize their mixed martial arts to handle the majority of situations, and why not if the public has already been disarmed. That's not going to work here in the States.
Doing evil or wrong stems from the heart and not weapons. People killed each other way before gun powder was invented by the Chinese and this innate potential to do harm to others will continue on into the future. New weapons are being created that have the potential for great good or great harm depending on how you use it. How any technology is used is based on you and not the weapon or technology although I admit that having a nuclear weapon is just something no one should have because it threatens our existence as a species so it should be avoided. It would be nice to eliminate that technology and use the neuralizer to erase the memory of all who have the technical knowledge of it worldwide, but unfortunately that's just not possible. We have to learn to love one another. I wonder where that message comes from.
