Why is the North American community so much worse than the Japanese one?

Not entirely.

Any psychologist will tell you that thoughts lead to actions. And who is saying I speak in absolutes? The OP is an absolute statement. I am pointing out that Japan is not as green as the OP thinks. There is no "polite" way to say that. I'm not the only one too.

If anything I'm showing that the world has more gray area than some might think, or want to believe.

You calling me a name "troll" does not make it true, by the way. There are no Absolutes, guy.
