Bad Sushi

Why don't you take it up with the Bushes Senior and Junior? All they did during their "presidencies" was grease up their chutes for the Arab oil powers.

well at least he got better

How can Miyazawa just.... sit there?? While he's getting vomited on a second time?? Good Lord, I'd have split after the first time! D:

When you're at another Man's house, you greet him in the way he is accustomed to, not the other way around. Obama's bow was not a sign of any servitude, it's a return of a greeting that the Japanese use frequently.

And lost in all this retarded arguing is why Obama's in Asia to begin with.

Yes your are right thank you for the constructive critisim he is there to sell America out further and thats just the facts. I bet I get a bad bad thumbs down for this comment but hey like I said its just the facts. Anyone can find em

Criticizing Obama for bowing would be like the Japanese criticizing the Emperor for shaking Obama's hand (which they do not). I've talked to several Japanese people about this and nobody even noticed that he bowed (because it's normal). The people here didn't think anything of it. It's complete arrogance to think that we should be above respecting other cultures.

I'm American and I live in Japan. Bowing is a way of life here. It's like shaking hands when you meet someone (since people here normally do not shake hands at all). I bow to the old lady who lives next door when I see her. I bow when I meet someone for the first time. I sure the hell would bow when I met the Emperor of Japan no matter how important I thought I was.

I won a decent amount of money from my coworkers when they didn't believe me that this incident really happened.

When you go to a foreign country, it's common courtesy to greet the host in their own customs, not the other way around. America's strength comes from understanding other people's culture and showing proper respect to the world, not by acting like a dick.
