LoJ: Fvck the banks! ![]() But you missed ishilove's point. It's more like if your money in a truck was all over the street how would you feel about people picking it up and thanking their god for the blessing? |

ThothHermes:because they have strong traditions deeply rooted in respect for and kindness to others. Unlike in Nigeria, bad behaviour is the exception and not the norm. Here, is normal for the majority to try to exploit you the first chance they get and then try to justify it by saying it's your fault and you weren't sharp. Same way you are here claiming it's normal behaviour. |

Ozkar:Japan is the exception. Humans will try to get ahead the first chance. You are right that traditional values and the fact that most people are economically prosperous will make them act that way. The circumstances affecting Nigerians are different and it influences behavior to a large degree. This is a Telegraph story showing looting in Japan after the 2011 earthquake. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/japan/japan-earthquake-and-tsunami-in/8395153/Japan-earthquake-Looting-reported-by-desperate-survivors.html |

ThothHermes:if you remember my first post (which you tried to shut me up for), I started out by saying there's no real difference between humans and animals. At their core, they both follow base instinct which is mostly greedy and selfish. A goat walks by your house and sees a tuber of yam lying on the ground, it doesn't think twice. It doesn't care whether you bought it with your last money to feed hungry kids. All it cares about is that it wants to eat and it likes yam. The point of that post was that every human has that tendency, however we give in (to that tendency) more in this part of the world, despite all the religious and cultural influence. So you haven't even said anything different. My comment about exceptions wasn't about humans generally. It was about the Japanese and bad behaviour. The example of the post-earthquake looting is one such exception. The fear and despair that natural disasters create is enough to turn the best behaved person into a scavenger scratching and clawing to survive. Take away the natural disaster and you'd be hard pressed to find another instance of mass Japanese looting in this century. The persons that looted the bottles of beer had no such extraordinary circumstance. No pressure to try to survive. It's just who they are. And it's not like it's something as valuable as money; ordinary drinks they probably don't even need. With another truck on another street in another state in Nigeria, the result would hardly be different. People would come to loot even if it's fuel that can explode at any time and kill them. It's just like the goat and the lonely tuber of yam. With another goat on another road in front of another house, the goat would go for the yam every time. No second thoughts. Humans... Animals... Little difference. |

Ozkar:Nigerians, like the majority of humans will give in to that tendency you speak of. Japan is the exception. Why don't you give other examples? How do you define an extraordinary circumstance? If those Japanese had not looted when they did, I'm sure you will still have used it as another stick to beat Nigerians. Your points are well taken though. |

hahn:I did not miss her point and I quite understand. Still, my question aims at outlining a more fundamental point:The truth is most people blaming them for taking the beers do so because they don't like beer so much in the first place . I can bet you if it were paper money on the ground, they would all go down and pick it. What is the fundamental difference between these beer and money? Is it not all the same in the eyes of the owner? So before we judge, we muss understand. |
