In middle school in Japan in the 80s they brought the students to a tatami room within the school and taught the students etiquette. Among other things (like learning to bow) they also taught that it is VERY RUDE to slurp your soup! However it's true that some girls have been kicked out of famous noodle restaurants for _not_ slurping.
Americans may do it, but culturally it is still considered rude to burp, put feet on table, play with food, etc.
I guess slurping in Japan has a lot to do with the inadequacy of chopsticks versus a spoon when it comes to liquid. Regardless, still a crude and sloppy way to eat. Same as eating with your fingers was in Europe before the invention of the fork.
There is so much to love about Japan: the hard-working, honest, friend, warm, funny and highly-moral population; the food (except white jellyfish and natto); the onsens, the hospitality, and the architecture, cleanliness and efficiency of its monuments, cities and towns. Alas, like the jellyfish and the natto, I also do not like the slurping. I don't like slurping anywhere in the world (my father was a northern european slurper, GRHS)

Japanese do that only when its noodle, not soup.
You guys might think its rude but in japan, its normal.
of course, they don't do that with spaghetti.
Plus, I bet that americans are as rude as Japan in lots of ways.
(Burping, Puts their feet on the table, PLAYS WITH FOOD, do something sick and think its funny, etc.)

Well, they DO use chopsticks. How do you suppose they twirl noodles around those? ;-)
