* Japanese children clean their schools every day for a quarter of an
hour with teachers. This led to the emergence of a Japanese generation
who is modest and keen on cleanliness.

up dog droppings. Hygiene and their eagerness to address cleanliness
is part of Japanese ethics.

Something to think about......
Maybe they've got it right.....
Only time will tell!!!!

The Japanese have been traced as to existence in the year 12,000 BC, shortly after the Ice Age. I spent time in Japan courtesy the US Military forces in the early 1950's during the Korean War. Their tendency toward isolation is historically famous but has been more easily obtained by virtue of being surrounded by water coupled with the need to work and survive in lock step obedience. It is almost the exact opposite of the USA in that regard. I found the Japanese to be fascinating, courteous, industrious, dutiful and we could use some of it in the USA right now.

You know, a few short decades ago before all this PC crap began if little Jimmy were to do that to little Mary everyone would say, "...aww, how cute is that. He must have a crush on Mary." (no harm, no pain) The only real thing that political correctness has done is to create hypocrisy. I'd bet a lot of money that if today little Mary went over and kissed Jimmy, not a thing would be said...or maybe they would say, "...Oh, how cute." In the business world if a woman said, "...he's got a great body," nothing would come of it. But in that same scenario if a man said,"...she's got a great body," he'd be brought up on sexual harassment charges, fired and walked out the door, and have that on his work record for ever. I don't know about you, but I liked the old days better.
