Traditional Japanese care for their honor too much
seppuku, when facepalm simply doesnt cut it
Haha. “Cut it” .
Lol, give him some internets!!!
Nothing wrong with caring about honor. Without honor, all you have are douchebags.
Nev Welcome to the Internet

Welcome to the internet.
I wonder how long it will be before some jerks decide to start a flame war over this…
3 hours, 45 minutes, and 26 seconds.
so at 9:01 there’ll be a flame war… I’m sure of it.
Hmmm…
you’re probably right
THAT HAIR IS RIDICULOUS!
Just to start the ball rolling. I hate to keep the people waiting.
I could go into a whole thing on cultural relativism, but I won’t.
I could also go into how U.S. Americans, despite being culturally diverse, are impressively intolerant of other cultures, traditions, and beliefs, but I won’t.
Furthermore, I could go into something known as Chronological Snobbery, which touches on the idea that people in the modern world have this unfounded belief that only modern ideas are correct, which of course is complete horse crap if you really take the time to think about it, but I won’t go into it.
You see, I am really not a fan of pointless arguments with people who refuse to listen to others, so I won’t go into it. However, I do want to place these ideas here to see how people decide to respond. Will you respond intelligently, modify your behavior in light of this information, or will you just argue for the pure sake of arguing? Your decision, really.
Oh, and yes, I do find this picture amusing, just for your information. The tradition of seppuku is very counter-effective when it comes to practice. I am a U.S. American, and to me it just seems ridiculous to do such a thing to achieve overall group improvement. But, for the record, when you take a look at it from their culture’s perspective, it does make sense.
Meh. I won’t go into it any more. Flame away, because I know it is going to happen.
Actually, I like the way you think. I find anthropology very interesting from ancient to modern times. If you can only think one way you will never reach peace with your neighbors. And if we don’t understand the past we will never grow beyond it. For a better world you need to take the best of the past, present and future, as well as anywhere else you can find it.
xD a bit of a backfire..
a little late, but this is the flame war I was talking about i guess. Too long, didn’t read. Assuming it’s bad because of how long it was.
Yeees, because we’re clearly the flamers here.
A little spot of win to you sir.
Wow, major fail. The US is impresssively intolerant of other cultures? I would say a helluva lot more so than Japan itself, or most of Asia, and light-years beyond the Arab/Muslim world.
Nice point about “Chronological Snobbery.” Remember to invoke that whenever some America-basher starts howling about slavery and women’s rights and Manifest Destiny, or one of the other things such malcontents usually trot out.
Well, I have “listened” to you, and found you wanting. May you find a bit more light by “listening” to me or this will have been pointless.
Ja, matashita…
leave it to a troll to feed the troll
I could go to the bathroom instead of wetting my pants, but I won’t.
I could also sing a song about the wonders of timeshares, but I won’t.
Subsequent to my song about timeshares which never happened, I could use letters and symbols to make a picture of a cat within a comment box, but I won’t.
Furthermore, I could insert a crayon into my ear whilst hopping on one leg and serenading a donkey named Wallace with the song “The Old Grey Mayor”, a process known colloquially as “what is that man doing”, but I won’t

one internet for you.
TL;DR
i admire the samurai, they were badass.
that or i have been watching to many toshiro mifune movies
alright..Im gonna FLAME THE WAR!!
Swords are so Inefficient!!
GUNS RULE!!
lol…and let the hate replies begin!
Sorry again.
A man who defeat a horde of zombies with just a sword is alot better off than a guy holding them off with a gun.
guns run out of ammo, swords don’t
They both kill people!
why thank you, captain obvious. That’s like noting we are all retarded.
guns are ranged! I’M JOINING IN ON THE FLAME WAR!
both are true
a sword, not just a katana, usually is a work of art on itself, and yes, it does require lots of training and skill to use it properly, however, any retard can handle a gun, and history shows us, that even the most skilled samurais had little to no chances against a gun…
unless, of course, they where some kind of super skilled freak ala battousai or something…
actually here’s a weapon that requires no training and just needs someone strong enough to swing it (it’s not japanese)
http://redux.com/stream/item/1453850/Deadliest-Warrior-Kilij-sword
and I’ll be damned if it isn’t the most badass weapon I’ve ever seen, it goes through that pig like NOTHING!
in the hands of a noob/amateur…the samurai sword/katana can break if it hits the bone
Guns can still be used as MELEE weapon..
…btw I’ll give you 1 internet for such an epic name
“HARD GAY”
GUNS ARE BETTER THATS WHY THERE ARE NO SAMURAI LEFT CAUSE GUNS KILLED EM’ ALL
WIN!
moron
Reading this kinda makes me wish that our leaders in America would start incorporating this method
Using a sword takes alot more skill in war than it took for a gun.
Example: A man who can defeat a horde of zombies is alot better off than a guy who hold them off with a gun.
XD sorry had to.

Sorry
A man who defeat a horde of zombies with just a sword is alot better off than a guy holding them off with a gun.
Let’s start a flame war! The samurai grip, two hands on the bottom of the sword, is the world’s stupidest way to hold a sword.
You are an hour too early!
Actually, 57 minutes too early
Actually, cheese
mmmm…… cheeeeeeeeese. O_O
I
Unless it’s a Dai-Katana
Dont forget the seppeku failsafe. The dud standing right behind him. If he fails, his buddy lops his head off. Talk about BFF.
Actually, the guy behind him is there to lop his head off if he does it RIGHT. The beheading was a reward for proper execution of the ritual.
Failure to properly cut or other outward signs of hesitation or unwillingness to expiate your shame meant the guy stood there and let you bleed out because you were unworthy of a quick death.
IT’S KENNY BLANKENSHIP AND VIC ROMANO-O-O-O-O-O!
Oh, almost forgot — I call shenanigans, this is a ‘shop!
The picture is on Wikipedia, which claims it is staged for photo purposes, so you’re right there… kinda
XD sweet name!
Yaaaay. Samurai: First emos.
“Hoi! Ishitaka, you made F on your math test! You bring me dishonor!”
“I am sorry Father… I shall stab myself with this dagger to bring you honor. I wish not to shame you!” -Stab-
Yeahhhh. Good job, Samurai!
Son I am dissapoint.
Portal took out one of their most famous phrases out of this japanese samurai guys: “If at first you don’t succeed, you fail.”
and that sir, is why the redneck’s head exploded!
unless of course he doesn’t succeed in killing himself… -,-
