you can drop your wallet a hundred times and people in Korea and Japan will return it to you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWW4xzlrOWQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWW4xzlrOWQ I've heard reactions from Canadians who go to Korea or Japan and they are puzzled that nobody would steal, even if wallet was bulging with cash and the guy was passed out on the streets, he doesn't have to worry. To me this is the success of a homogenous neo-confucius brings order in society. Self reflection and honor prevents a cesspool of cultures ready to rip each others throats from forming. I ponder if Western societies can continue to function if they just keep letting anyone of any background and culture in especially when they choose not to integrate and shout 'racism' when they have to do something that requires the slightest bit of thinking and respect. Sometimes I look at my city, shootings, the violence, gangs, mental illnesses and ponder what life would've been like in Korea or Japan.

I’ll tell you a story that happened in a... well, not very good district of a German 300k people city. A district with 44% migrants, and 42% unemployed, and some of the highest crime rates of Germany. I was 18, it was the day after I finished my final high school exams, I had partied with a few girls, most went home, 2 of us – me and a friend – were trying to find a place to drink something. We ended up at some gas station, as all other stores were closed, and tried to buy alcohol. Some people were standing there, too, waiting in a queue, some of them migrants, some obviously homeless, some kinda nice dressed. A friend of mine tried to pay with her EC card, and was too drunk to use it or enter her PIN – so she asked if someone of the other crowd would be able to help her (I, myself, was also quite drunk). So she gave this guy her wallet, told him to "take out the yellow EC card, PIN is 2814"[1], and indeed, he did this. They – also wanting to buy alcohol – asked us if we wanted to follow them to a nearby party. We did, and ended up having a fun night playing singstar with them. -------------------------------- In Conclusion: It’s not ethnicity, or social class, or homogenity that leads or prevents crime. We’ve done similar things not once, but several times. And you know what? Never was anything stolen. Once I forgot a jacket, and couldn’t remember where anymore – next morning someone had posted the jacket onto a facebook group of the city with 60k users and I was able to get it back. -------------------------------- [1]: PIN changed for obvious reasons

  that has no relevance here. Germany vs North America for gods sakes.
