Culturally insensitive my @ss. I hate it when people, especially more vocal Japanese, play the "culture" card in trying to justify a certain position or stand. I've seen Taxi drivers, drunken businessmen, and moms with their little boys taking a piss on the side of the road in full view. My neighbors leave their windows open during the summer and one can see and hear what's going on if you simple look and listen. Public baths and hot spring baths are everywhere. Privacy concerns may be legitimate, but don't give me that "culture" bull. If you don't like Street View then simply state so, but don't try to woo us with any mystical, ancient, Japanese cultural bull!
