Ahh.. that euphemism for human pride and the avoidance of being shamed, no matter the means... That's what they call "honor".. Hawk. Please do me a favor an take up a book or two on the Japanese. Let us talk about what they call honor afterwards. For starters, I strongly suggest Travanian's "Shibumi", a comparison of Japanese culture with the western culture, thinly disguised as a spy book. amazon.co.uk It's not the kind of "honor" you think it is Zonder. Otherwise, there would not be a "Yakuza" in Japan. I am sorry but that is not logic. You are saying that kamikazes who killed themselves in WWII to destroy enemy ships did not have honor because there were also some bandits in the country? Come on. I urge you to look into the Japanese culture.
