  1. I can't say I know a lot about Japan, but I sure am surprised to see that no one has yet to mention the Japanese organized crime system - such as the Yakuza. This relates to all kinds of violence, and not just guns. The Japanese Government and Social systems pretty much rely on the Mafia to handle all events that are considered an exception to the rule (pun intended.) I watched a very interesting documentary about them, which reveals the strong logic behind their structure (can't find video link for the specific film.) Naturally, how crime is organized depends on which culture hosts it, so the social honor that bounds officials in Japan, does not bound officials in other countries.
  2. Hi. I just joined in, after that little anxious several day wait, to get authorization by a moderator. :-) While I have always taken interest in the topics discussed here and by Libertarians, I decided to join, only after taking a few days off and watching some very interesting talks. Later on, I will post my debate thread in the General forum, about Ownership Versus Responsibility (unless, I actually find it in another thread.) My personal adventures can be found in my blog. I just recently gave it a new design, so if you like it and want advice about designing your own blog/site, feel free to message me! Cheers, Assaf Koss, 26, Israel.
