Really, you need to be civil, as other people are stating. This sort of hyperbole is what we're trying to prevent.
Or, stereotyping is ludicrous and hypocritical at this juncture. Please.
If one of the arguments is already basically a sterotype of 'well it's Japanese culture' then fine, let's apply that to everything instead of just us.
That is not what 'recognize their viewpoint' means. How can you hope to change their mind if you cannot even understand where they are coming from?
First, you need to step back, take a breath, and look at it objectively. Then when you go make your argument, you bring up the points that might be holding them back, and make a rebuttal as to why the positives outweigh the negatives.
