18. So we should all bow to one people's pride issues?

If Japanese government and/or society (or any other group of people) for that matter are stubborn asses, then it's Paul Watson fault for being in their face about committing illegal slaughtering of whales? So we should all tippy toe around sensitive cultures and first learn to work with their intricacies instead of stopping them when caught red handed? How about in the case of the plight of the poor fisherman who fin sharks to feed their families. Should we let them be until they have caught up economically? More foreign aid maybe? How about the Somalian pirates who are sometimes forced into raiding ships and taking hostages. How can we accommodate them? How about my Mexican neighbor who plays music too loud at night sometimes, should I just work with his culture and party all night instead of telling him to turn it down so I can sleep before getting up for work at 6am? Not in my opinion. The Japanese government and society at large will just have to get over themselves (just as Iceland, Norway, whoever else).
