Is anyone else still slightly creeped out by the Japanese?

Did your understanding include the LIVE dissection of American POWs?

Yep, know about that and about the atrocities committed during the war with China.
And your point is?

So the discussion so far - the Japanese were responsible for committing a range atrocities during WW2 (and prior really, during the war with China), that as a nation they have not yet taken full responsibility for their actions, that doing so is not uniquely Japanese and common for nations to ignore or excuse their poor form with human rights, that the Japanese have different values and are more inclined to be subservient to authority and that creeps out some posters on these boards.....

Japan — Ever since her elderly neighbor moved a decade ago, Yoriko Haneda has done what she can to keep the empty house she left behind from becoming an eyesore. Ms. Haneda regularly trims its shrubs and clips its narrow strip of grass, maintaining its perfect view of the sea.
The volunteer yard work has not extended to the house two doors down, however. That one is vacant, too, and overgrown with bamboo. In fact, dozens of houses in this hillside neighborhood about an hour’s drive from Tokyo are abandoned.

That link to the Korean sex slaves seems also germane to this thread, the denial of responsibility by Japan.
