Well if that's the case I know how they feel. Just out of curiosity, why'd you have to post periods in all those threads?

SOOO...After hours of filling up that forum, only TWO threads actually showed on the page :eek: I had to bump all of the posts, so that people wouldn't assume the forum was empty...That would cause a lot of repeat threads to be created... There are many forums here that look like they only have a few threads in them, but if you go to the drop down and change it, you'll see that they are actually full...The threads are just old... When other people post on those threads, to keep them on the page, I'll remove my posts with periods in them ;)

One of the big cultural aspects of Japan is the ancestor cult. The dead, the past and cultural heritage are looked upon as critical to protect. And ghosts have frightened people because they represent what was left behind. Acts of violence, neglect and general mistreatment literally come back to haunt people. This might not be as immediately simple to grasp for people in 21st century America. Dead means dead most of the time, unless you're a Christian (America's dominant religious paradigm), in which case souls find themselves in heaven or hell. But, when the things we leave behind return, then we have something to be afraid of. In Japan where afronts against ancestry and family are unforgiveable, these transgressions being brought back are truly terrifying. And Japan is expanding these concerns to deal with more "modern" transgressions, child abuse for example in the case of Ringu. So, ghosts are a bigger concern to the Japanese. And, as for water, it's the element of emotions. Think of tears. Lots of tears. American horror is more of a melting pot of cultural neuroses, so makes the horror movies of other cultures look obsessive.
