And I explained why you're wrong. I sincerely doubt you've ever been to Japan, you were just making wild conjecture based on a pre-conceived notion of what Japan is like.
You've been to Japan? How long have you lived there?
Are you dense? I was very clearly implying that they live in a culture in which suicide is glorified. Samurai, the 'knights' of Japanese history, often committed 腹切り(Harakiri, lit. "Belly Cutting") to retain their honor in death or restore their honor after a disgrace in battle.
Stated another way, Japanese culture doesn't have the negative attitude towards suicide that the west does.
They're past the days of suicide being glorified. They're a modern country now, and I don't think the Japanese government wants their high suicide trend to continue
edit: Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that while American historical figures were crafting a constitution, Japanese historical figures were gloriously committing suicide. That probably helps a little.
The figures aren't based on suicides that far back. They're recent figures.
Japan is the only country I know of where it's totally illegal to own a gun. They seem to have had decent success with that, since only policemen and hardcore mafia bosses own guns over there. It helps that they're an island nation.
They have almost no freedom over there. That's probably the main reason their suicide rate is so high.
Not really. They were leaving the store. Like wort said, the clerk put himself in more danger by firing at them.
If he actually killed one of the robbers, they would have noted that they were leaving the store as well. He can hardly claim self defence if he shot them in the back as they were leaving.
What are you talking about? When did this happen? Video?

I never specifically said that, I said they have very little freedom over there.

Well ****, I completely missed it.
I think the clerk handled things like a boss. Hope he got them both.
