Work ethic has something to do with it. Also consider cultrual differences. The pressures put on kids in Japanese and even Chinese schools is incredible. I have many Japanese and Chinese friends and some of the stories I hear about the constant pressure to study and do well amaze me. So from my friends who have first hand experience in asian schools, I don't believe they feel any different about education then North American students do. They would like entertaining/interesting classes as much as anyone else it's just the pressure put on them to succeed and the almost constant schooling is driving many of them crazy.
I read some where that Japanese people are the most stressed out people. This leads to health issues and break downs. I value education as much as they do but not to the point were I can't stand it anymore or at the risk of my health.
Say some spammer hijacks someones server without them knowing? Then their server will be brought down with this back lash of email. This is targeting the wrong person in that case.
Also, aren't spammers hijacking personal computers as well? I read about viruses used by spammers to open up peoples computers to act as relays. That means a defensless persons computer will get a ton of email back them.
I like the idea this person has, it just seems like there is too much collateral damage that could happen.
