[QUOTE="DDD, post: 454418, member: 35"] I'm impressed, too. The funny (or actually probably sad) thing is that I have always had negative impressions of the Japanese. The reason it is sad is that I am not a negative person and I totally know that it is a result of being born in 1940 and growing up watching war movies (hmm..indoctrination?) that showed the "evil enemy". As a little girl that has had a long term effect on me. Since I recognize that is where the bad vibes began I have actively tried to find things to admire in that culture. Don't know if that makes sense to you guys who are younger but since I truly value humankind I have consciously tried to get over the early prejudice. This news struck me as so positive that it has impacted me. As an actively patriotic American....I don't think that would happen on our shores. It's cool. LOL DDD [/QUOTE]
