The inverse is a higher than western "normal" suicide rate partly as a result of that, the Japanese mentality during WW2 and in living memory things like a man killing his whole family and then himself not being tolerated as murder. Also mass murder is not unknown in Japan eitherDavid Nimrod wrote:I think that a significant factor is that Japanese society is very 'different' to ours...
They're very big on conformity... especially for men.
Pretty much spot on, I believe the same goes for South Korea with only slightly more relaxed gun laws, the people doing this never mention places like various Caribbean countries with strict gun laws or even Russian/Brazil/Mexico that suffer murder rates that would make Chicago and Detroit blush.Sim G wrote:But I don't recall the UK having a Sarin gas attack on the underground....
You can make all of the comparisons you want, but the make up of society is different for each country. I remember reading a few years ago that Japan's extraordinary low crime rate in general is because of very little outside influence on their culture. Immigration is low and integration, for wantbof a better word is very difficult. The language for a start is so difficult to learn and Japanese society has very strict protocols.
And Iain Overton, crime expert, is a liar and a fraud. The bloke's a dick. (Bring on google searches!)
33,599 is the liberal spin. Take out suicides, police shooting, legal gun owners defence shooting and most important, the 6000 or so shootings in places like Chicago where the gun laws are on a par with the UK yet drug gangs ignore the law and kill with impunity.David Nimrod wrote:Japan has one of the lowest rates of gun crime in the world.Pinguino wrote:

In 2014 there were just 6 gun deaths, compared to 33,599 in the US.
Discuss...
Japan actively pursues and non-immigration policy and does not want its unique, orderly and somewhat safe culture and way of life diluted by multi-culturism so craved by the politicians of the western world.Sim G wrote: You can make all of the comparisons you want, but the make up of society is different for each country.
