Seems like they both bowed. Jesus, cant believe we have to lower ourselves to discussing how deeply a man bows in respect towards another.

Dont judge me because I sin differently than you.
If you want it sugar coated, dont ask me what i think! It would violate TOS.

Post a link! Share with the rest of us.

If the Emperor did bow back then thats good, he helped Obama save face which is indeed a sign of respect.

Except the part where, I actually saw the video of it, and he did bow back.  But that's facts, and not spin one can put on something just from one picture.  Sorry.  I'll take those pesky facts back on out of here.  My bad.

I guess it's not something they showed on your faux nooze, unlike on every other of the news sources out there.  Probably just the picture.

Thanks for posting the link to the video taz, and you have a better eye than I do if you caught the Emperor bowing back.

And you're always free to start another Sarah Palin thread if you think discussing the presidents travels is below you.

I also dont believe its a good thing to belittle our President for upholding the customs of other countries while visiting them. Its no skin off his nose to offer a bow. But, in a country filled with customs and traditions regarding respect, him not bowing can be seen as a slight of tremendous magnitude.

Maybe you're right. It could just be the way that I'm standing. I'm sure that if I watch it again while leaning waaaay to the left, I could possibly start to see it...

Sorry, but its just not there, taz. No matter how much you have to believe, no amount of faith will ever make that Emperor bow. It could be that the Emperor knows the standard protocol even though that president doesn't.

And thats what it is, protocol. Its just a historic fact, presidents don't bow down before kings, tyrants, dictators or emperors. We're a free people and our leaders bow before no one.

If I'm unstable and you're arguing the point as far as I do it doesn't speak too well of your mental state, my friend... 

And I see you're changing your story, which is good. Before you said he was clearly bowing, not you think he may be leaning forward. You're making progress.

Next you'll be listening to Rush Limbaugh every day and following the Sarah Palin book signing tour everywhere it goes...

I don't think you're supposed to be reading my posts, Tim.

Orion wouldn't approve!

Well then maybe you should start respecting Japanese culture yourself.

cant believe we have to lower ourselves to discussing how deeply a man bows in respect towards another.

If you're serious about respecting someone's customs, then you need to know what they are. Case in point, in Japanese culture you do NOT bow and shake hands at the same time. You bow with your hands at your sides (if you're a man). And it matters very damn much how deeply (and for how long) you bow. I don't know what Obama's keepers do with their time, but they sure haven't been much fucking use when it come to prepping him on foreign customs.

You'll find an educational review of bowing in Japan on this wiki page.

Status: offline 		*headdesk*  Like talking to a wall...  Tazzy was right.  You just have no idea how to admit you may just be wrong about something.  One must be forward to bow.  That's how it works.  Is he leaning down and licking his own shoes?  No.  At his age, I doubt he could anyway (no offense to those about that age here, of course).  And I'd hardly say I'm arguing it as hard as you.  I'm just going off of simple and obvious posture and motions.  I personally couldn't care less if Obama bit Tokugawa's forehead, if that's the custom.

And that's the thing, it's the custom.  Obama is a visitor, a guest, their guest.  God forbid he show some decorum and respect.  Maybe he should have just thrown up on Tokugawa, a'la Bush I.  There's some good manners right there I tells ya.
