As an American caucasian living in asia (by choice), let me offer a couple of observations:

As a 90 y/o Chinese woman told me 10 years ago on a train out of Beijing: All people are the same; only the governments are different.

All people want the same thing: an opportunity for a decent life with a good standard of living. Government breeds corruption.

Secondly, too much freedom is not necessarily a good thing, especially when the people who have it lack self-discipline, ethics, consideration for others, and a sense of responsibility for their own actions.

PC does not equate to that statement. PC is a reach around.

This is not intended to the hijack this thread...

I have been to Hiroshima several times and Nagasaki as well but I have never seen a document decribing that as a war crime, let alone an American one. Of course, there will be children there, learning about the past about ourselves, just like any other noted for its history. Nobody is forcing our kids to go there. Every school district in Japan has the freedom to decide where the students go on an excursion.

Think about it, if we are to go back to being an absolute monarchy and resort to our imperialist ways of the past, we would make our kids go visit our emperor. That would be our priority, and not labeling USA as a war criminal.

Autopilot, I think you should come visit us one day. And see for yourself what Japan has to offer you. It will probably do you good. I think Bombardy and his fiancee would agree...

Just for the record I'm not arguing against what Lazs said, because there's nothing wrong with it. He may be a little less tolerant than me of other people's quirks (in this case anyway), but that doenst make him wrong. It just means he doesnt want to be bothered with wading through someone else's emotional BS. Cant say I blame him either. I'm the same way in alot of respects.

Its just that I am not a person who makes friends easily. Not close friends, the kind that I feel comfortable having at my house or would loan my stuff to, etc. 2 of them happen to be black, and yeah they toss the N bomb around like its nothing. I just ignore it. I've had plenty of opportunity to find out what kind of friends they are, and they've never let me down when I needed them. More than I can say for alot of others. I'm willing to overlook some annoying character flaws, they certainly do for me.

Skyrock,
Your posts make me believe that you know almost nothing of Japanese behavior in WW2. And that you prefer it that way because it makes your opinion and attitude easier to maintain.

SOF... I am not a guy who makes friends easily... I have a lot of aquaintences. Friends do not get offended by what friends say nor do they try to lay guilt trips on each other.

People have enough genuine problems without adding some artificial guilt trip PC junk into the mix.

I like the mexicans I am around for the most part... the liberals are doing their level best to make mexicans dependent on them tho... Soon.. we will have a whole generation of people of mexicans decent who are a bunch of crybabies and whiners.

I have never found the asians to be whiners... they were allways smart enough to realize that to fit in.... you can't be a sensitive little wussy.

i heard lazs is so rugged and manly thateven chuck norris can't help but find him insanely attractive!

lazs2 · « **Reply #112 on:** July 23, 2006, 10:20:38 AM »

everyone finds me attractive. I feel bad that I bring out hidden homo urges in otherwise manly men. I try to ignore it so as to not make it worse for them.

Is that what you think? I know exactly what the Japanese did in WWII. Would like to question me on any battle/incident that you may think I am not aware of? Next time post a quote and relate your comment directly to what you are referring!

Usually most people avoid befriending complete morons, but then again it's probably those liberals that made you that way!

uh oh... I got poor little skyrock all angry with me. I'm in big trouble now...

Better brush up on my fourth grade retorts if I want to compete on an even keel.

naaaa... think I will take the high ground here. If you have a point... I will debate it. otherwise.. go ahead and stalk.

If there is something I say that you disagree with... go ahead and explain what it is and why and I will be glad to discuss it with you.
