why don't 'em both hypocrites go nuke the hell out of each other so that the blue marble will be a better place to live in.
of course to a certain degree, i'm appalled by the japanese government's whitewashing of their past atrocities. yet there they are whingeing about the tragedies of yokohama and nagasaki.
to be honest, i just cannot accept what they had subjected wee islanders to during the second world war. especially the rounding up of:
1. ethnic chinese babies and then throwin' em up into the air and then bayonet them
2. ethnic chinese lasses and then gang-raped them, after which disembowelled 'em
3. ethnic chinese fella's who worked for the brits, had 'em dig up trenches and then shot them there and then
and the blowing up of HMS Repulse and HMS Prince of Wales - erm, not relevant this as both were rickety old ships to begin with.
my late dad witnessed the massacres throughout the occupation. my granny escaped if not for my greatgran's quick wit. an aunt went missing. a great uncle was one of those who died in the firing line. and another had a narrow escape.
of course, all these are but the past. but the sight of 'em feckless youngling's worshipping things japanese is nothing short of revolting. not to mention, completely amoebic.
and the utter irony is i took up japanese language lessons many many many :: ad infinitum :: moons ago. not out of sheer interest, but because i had nothing better to do in the evening's after work back then.
