It'd be rude not to help the woman, obviously (at least it seems obvious to me) in the same way it's rude to let a door shut in someone's face (male or female) or to watch an old lady struggle with heavy bags.

of course there are rude people...

Nothing wrong with having an attitude, though. Why would you not be rude to strangers if you can get away with it?

I usually let the black cashier at the local store pack my groceries for me just to point out what I think of him. He always gives me the face, but he know that he'll get sacked in a heartbeat if I file a complaint.

You want to see rude/ignorant people? Come to Finland, the most unsociable country in the whole world.

See a unconscious man lying on the street? It takes pretty damn long for someone to call an ambulance to come and check him. Everyone has a cellphone so they are capable of calling one.

Is there someone listening to music loudly on a bus/train/etc.? No one will ask the guy to turn it down or use headphones, instead everyone has to bear with it until their stop.

I could go on forever about this.

One of my friends never helps women out with their baby carriages because he is afraid he'll drop it and get sued. If they so much as look at him and give him a disapproving frown as they struggle to lift that shit up and down stairs and he is there, he will freak out and run like the wind.

I used to do it out of common courtesy but after years of having jews slam doors in my face, not hold the elevator, etc. I'm sick of other peoples' shit.

Something bad you do with bite you in the ass later. Sometime, somewhere.

If it's your prerogative to go and be an ass to everyone except yourself, live in your insecurity and have at it. I won't mind. At least you're either making everyone have confidence in yourself or decreasing the population of idiots.

Yea, maybe. There's a nervousness that comes across Japanese people when you approach them, especially if you don't speak the language.

Let's get things right.
Europe:
- Help out strangers in need (old ladies, moms with the baby-chair, etc.)
- Ignore when shit happens in order not to get dragged into something troublesome (calling an ambulance for someone, asking somebody to shut up in public (including too loud ipod), etc.)

USA:
- Help out troubled people who can't sue you if you are bothered enough (call an ambulance, ask somebody to shut the fuck up in public, etc.)
- Ignore people in need (old people with bags, moms with babychairs, etc.)

Japan:
- Ignore everyone except they are from a higher level of society than you.

Anyhow, I do not personally have a problem with being an asshole to people that personally dislike.

As for that black thing. I'm not a racist, but honestly, why should I have positive attitude for immigrants, I wonder? I mean, you leave your original culture and homeland coming here to seek for wealth and stability. Why should I have anything but contempt for that kind of people? I really dislike the idea of my country turning into a multi-cultural ghetto shithole like USA.

I live in the south. One time when I was still in my teens, I got hit by an 18-wheeler in my car and got flipped off the road. I used to think rednecks were just stupid, but I owe them my life. I swear, a horde of them appeared out of nowhere from the houses on the side of the road as well as from the cars behind the accident to help. I managed to extract myself from the car in a daze and this 30 year old woman came and hugged me and comforted me the whole time while we were waiting for the ambulance. Even the driver of the truck came to help and he looked like he was about to cry. As long as you keep politics out of the equation, they are actually really nice people.
