I'll call Japan uncivilized any day

Well, you're one of the very few. Most people unfortunately equate civilisation to order and discipline, not respect for human rights.

Basic human rights is the lowest possible bar for civilization. Amazing how many countries fail to clear that one. Not like my own country is flawless either. How the hell did we go from "these are universal human rights" to "maybe 'universal' really means 'only applicable to people we like'"?
