Yep, You survived a partial birth abortion ;-)

He did?

The Japanese are notorious for toilet-training their kids very early,
and some commentators have correlated this with the excessively
conformist attitiudes of the adult Japanese,

which does show up in
excessive respect for authority figures (even when they get as daft as
Jim has) and a lack of willingness to innovate

(because any successful
innovation is an implicit criticism of the way the job had been done
in the past).

The doctor took one look and shoved him back in, then bitch slapped
his mother.

That really seems like a stretch.

 How do you know that its not because they
eat too much rice, or not enough red meat, or maybe because its because they
didn't watch enough John Wayne growing up.  Maybe its the lack of good Bugs
Bunny cartoons.

Their innovation is way down there.  I think they are now behind Zimbabwe,
Pakistan, Tchad and Bolivia.  I think they are still ahead of Suriname,
thank goodness.

(because any successful innovation is an implicit criticism of the way the job had been done
in the past).

How did they learn to make cars, cameras, robots, tractors.  You know, they
even built a first class navy some 60 years ago, If I recall correctly.
They must also have pretty thick skin to endure all that criticism.

Umm, Jim. If you care to look back through the threadlet, you were
already in it before I joined.

That really seems like a stretch.

Agreed.

Learning to make cars, cameras, robots, tractors and battleships
doesn't require innovation, if you can find somebody else who is
already making them

Making them better than the originals by a
process of steady refinement presumably does involve lots of small
innovations,

but these don't criticise the way other Japanese chose to
do the job in the past. There is an implicit criticism of the
improvisations of the slap-dash round-eyes who invented the stuff in
the first place, but the Japanese are perfectly happy to criticise
foreigners.

Now, you could convince me that during the Russian Communist economy in the
USSR that one tractor factory was not allowed to criticize another. Their
lack of innovation seemed to show

but I suspect that in reality the Russians are good innovators too

I suspect this might have had more to do with whether or not there was any
*reward* for innovation rather than whether or not criticism was allowed.

Absolutely they are.

Not to open old wounds but why, then, did they need to enlist the
services of the likes of the Rosenbergs and Klaus Fuchs if they could
have done it by themselves?
