Sure. It's probably a human trait. But I'm not japanese or belgian or german so I wouldn't know.

But I'm responding to a comment which "excused" our sins and I'm an american so that's why I made the comment.

If it is a human trait, so be it. But the fact that you are pointing to the sins of others kinda proves my point doesn't it?
