re: Why can people from the East lie so easily with no remorse?

At least with the Eastern bloc, communism really did leave a cultural vacuum that spawned a lot of messed up stuff. This is probably true for a lot of bad areas.
In the absence of religion, cultural pride, national pride, etc., people begin to cease thinking of themselves as part of something larger. There is a shrewdness that comes with that, but it can also lead to extreme selfishness and destructive behavior.

I have had limited dealings with people from the Eastern Bloc in my lifetime and so I have not experienced this first hand. Do those people tend to lie in order to manipulate situations morso thn Westerners do? It is generally pretty obvious to tell when an American is not telling the truth even without a polygraph.

The Japanese and Germans and Italians definitely thought of themselves as a part of something larger. Did not avoid destructive behavior, though, to say the least.
