jfuh said:Let me re-iterate again, CLASS A WAR CRIMINALS!
Let ME reiterate. They have assumed room temperature! Their burial is NOT an international matter.
If you want to go on with your assumptions Lu make sure you know who it is you are assuming about. My family suffered under imperialist Japanese rule. Don't tell me about support. Who ever said I supported your chicoms?
When you supported their illegal claim to Taiwan.
Again, you like to go off topic. Hypocricy is completely unrelated to this matter. Korea also suffered under imperialist Japan, as did the Philliipines, Vietnam. So what are you saying? Well China did such and such and such, so Japan is off the hook. Why do you keep going off topic on this subject matter?
NO, Japan is NOT off the hook. They committed horrible crimes during the war. I have been to Nanjing, Changchun and Harbin. I have been to the museums. I have talked to many people who sufferred from their crimes. I have also lived in Indonesia, and talked to people there. Though it should also be noted that the Japanese were an important catalyst for the post-war independence in most of those countries.
I have been highly critical of Japan's crimes, but they happened more than SIXTY years ago. Virtually all of those responsiblehave passed away. Japanese today are pacifist, though wary of the Chinese threat.
Japan has?Actions speak louder then words.
I wasn't aware that China had ever invaded Japan or for that matter killed innocent Japanese civilians in cold blood. Your arguments are obviously extending from a bias agaisnt China.
I don't have a bias against China, I have a bias against their criminal government. Japan has apologized for its crimes. It has provided vital aid to many of the countries victimized by their aggression. They have become a responsible member of the international community.
Doesn't matter, how many, the fact is they are there. If Germany "inshrined" Hitler you think it'd matter who else was there?
It matters to you, not to me. Japan was aggressive, but their leaders do not meet the level of evil Hitler did. Close, but not quite.
So I don't see any argument you've made. Untill the higher courts ruling such visits by the prime minister are unconstitutional.
Not under Japanese law. If an appeal is in process, the decision is stayed until a final decision is rendered.
Lol, you forget of my origins lu. Of course I read Japanese.
Gee, I thought you claimed to be Taiwanese. Few Taiwanese can read Japanese, and most of those who can are more than 70 years old.
Japan does not. Dude, this is not about the US nor China nor anyone else, this is about Japan. Get it through your head.
Trial of tears, US domestic affair, Japanese- American internment-- domestic affair, Slavery -- domestic affair.
China -- cultural revolution domestic affair.
Japan WWII war crimes -- INTERNATIONAL affair.
The crimes were international. The internment of the dead is internal. Many of China's threats and crimes are international.
Yes lets elaborate on that for everyone here. You're residing in Japan now? Local japanese school? Want to elaborate on credibility?
Your ignorance is appalling. You don't think Taichung has a Japanese school?
My sources are news reports from coorespondants in Japan. I think that is much more credible about how teaching happens in Japan TODAY then your friends who are not teaching in Japan.
Ihave many friends who ARE teachers in Japan. I attended a conference for history educators while a graduate student. The topic was the Pacific War attendees came from many countries, including Japan. As the only American educator there who could speak Japanese, I was able to spend a lot of time talking to them. I still keep in touch with several of them. They are in the classrooms every day. They have far more credibility than isolated press reports.
Yes you did. Argument after argument you scapegoat Japan's responsibility and blame China for something that occured years later. Relationship? Weak.
Thus it's not what you have written, but what your implications seem to be. Now let's see your own words again.
No,I have not. Both are responsible for their respective crimes. China's are ongoing while Japan's are more than 60 years old. They have done FAR MORE to make amends.
THere is no link lu. China killing thier own citizens has nothing at all to do with Japan invading China. Perhaps you would liken to link the US's civil war with the US-Spanish war?
There is a link in the current calls by China's government, yet their unwillingness to mention their own crimes or whitewashing the past.
One needn't political knowledge to understand common sense.
You seem to lack both.
Wrong again, I'm speaking of entitlement, perhaps reading would help?
Liberals love that word. don't they?
So what? I thought it's already been established the two are unrelated.
Only in your highly biased mind.
China as a nation is not entitled no, Chinese citizens are, as are Korean nationals and so on.
No,they are not.
No, I'm merely pointing out the irrelevance of your arguments specific to this thread. You keep pointing out the hypocrisy of China's government, big deal, hardly to the least Justifies Japan at all.
Yes and no. It doesn't justify Japan's PAST, but points to China's PRESENT hypocrisy.
No, I've never heard the term Chicoms until now, so no I have no idea what you are talking about.
That term has been around for years. Why am I not suprised that you don't have a clue?
