Re: Was interning the Japanese during WW2 the right response?

I think it has to do with you liberals and your hatred of America...
That's just what we libtards do. We just shout "**** America!" while waving our Communist/Fascist flags in the air.

I hate haters... that is why I loathe myself.

I fly the flag like this: upside down flag.webp
 
Re: Was interning the Japanese during WW2 the right response?

Years ago I saw a documentary about the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII. Of course they interviewed many JA's, about what it was like, and what they went through.

They asked 1 man if he had any resentment towards the US because we interned Japanese Americans, but not German or Italian Americans? With a smile on his face he said No, he realized that if we interned German and Italian Americans they would have had to empty out 1/2 of NYC.

I just thought is was funny, and very mature of him. He saw the reality of the situation. He was understandably upset by what happened, but not bitter.
 
Re: Was interning the Japanese during WW2 the right response?

Agree with this, although it is important to note that reparations to the Japanese were so late in the game that they didn't make much of a difference. A large percentage of the interned were deceased by the time reparations were issued.

The fact that we paid at all is comforting enough in some respects, but fair point.
 
Re: Was interning the Japanese during WW2 the right response?

You really do not understand the difference between "legal" and "appropriate"? Wow....

Apparently you didn't understand what was said.

Again.
"What is legal is appropriate under the law until such time that it changes."
 
Re: Was interning the Japanese during WW2 the right response?

Again.
"What is legal is appropriate under the law until such time that it changes."

And that is blatantly false. Simply because something is legal does not mean it is appropriate or the right thing to do. This is not rocket surgery, it is a pretty simple concept.

Your instance in being wrong is as hilarious as those who like wrong posts.


Pay attention this time.

Again.
"What is legal is appropriate under the law until such time that it changes."


Apparently you do not understand the very words you are reading.

Maybe you will better understand if I reword it?

What is legal is not inappropriate under the law.

Do you still feign ignorance that what was said is true and accurate?

The fact is that the Supreme Court found that such an exclusion order is Constitutional.
Your dislike (and that is all it really is), does not change the fact that it is appropriate under the law.

And your knowledge of words is apparently lacking. What is legal is allowed under the loaw. If is not necessarily appropriate.

Just more hilarity.

My wording was appropriate and you are just showing that it was your knowledge that was lacking. You also showed that you wished to rely on an irrelevant emotive argument of not liking something.
These are your problems.

Again.
Under the law it was not inappropriate.

Nothing you said refutes that in any way.

The dictionary disagrees with you:

adjective
1.
suitable or fitting for a particular purpose, person, occasion, etc.:
an appropriate example; an appropriate dress.
2.
belonging to or peculiar to a person; proper:
Each played his appropriate part

I am sorry you don't know the meaning of the word you used, but that is your own fault.

Apparently you also do not understand what the emboldened and underlined words mean.
That is basically what the Court found the exclusion order to be. Suitable and fitting during such times.

Again Apparently we are having two separate arguments.
Mine is the legal one and the one you are making is an emotional one.
 
Re: Was interning the Japanese during WW2 the right response?

It may have been justified as legal. Morally it sucked aardvark ass.

So you think everything that is not illegal for the government to do, is suitable or fitting for it to do? Really?

Your question is an irrelevant straw-man.
And again, as already pointed out, two separate things are being argued here.
You are making an emotional argument. Mine was a legal one.

Under the law it was not, and still is not, inappropriate.

My argument is logical and based in the constitution and morality. Yours is an argument of failed knowledge of English.
 
Re: Was interning the Japanese during WW2 the right response?

No your argument is not based on the Constitution as the Court already decided that such an order is Constitutional. It is legal and that is based on the Constitution.

Secondly. Your morality (emotional argument) is irrelevant to it's Constitutionality.


Yours is an argument of failed knowledge of English.
As already shown, that only applies to yours.
 
Re: Was interning the Japanese during WW2 the right response?

No your argument is not based on the Constitution as the Court already decided that such an order is Constitutional. It is legal and that is based on the Constitution.

And if another case would ever come up before SCOTUS, that would change. It is widely recognized that the ruling was in error.

Secondly. Your morality (emotional argument) is irrelevant to it's Constitutionality.

I never claimed it was.

As already shown, that only applies to yours.

Well, no...
 
Re: Was interning the Japanese during WW2 the right response?

No.
More scrutiny would be applied to the loyalty of the individual.


I never claimed it was.
Oy vey!
It's like you do not even know what you argue.
You made an invalid emotional argument to the fact that it was appropriate under the law.


Well, no...
Wrong as usual.

Again.
"What is legal is appropriate under the law ... "


What is legal is not inappropriate under the law.


Under the law it was not, and still is not, inappropriate.

You haven't been able to show those to be wrong.

And then you even proved yourself wrong by providing the definition.


Just stop. All you are doing is digging your whole deeper.
You were wrong, get over it.

I'll leave that judgement to professionals in the field like you...

I have already shown that almost universally the decision is held as a moral travesty and un-Constitution just as Dred Scoot and Plessy were... they were later overturned when challenged and when this is eventually challenged it will be over turned as well...
 
Re: Was interning the Japanese during WW2 the right response?

WTF does this even mean? I am an American. America is great.
America also has and has had massive problems. Being honest makes America better...

Doing what you are doing makes America worse. You ignore facts.
You brush aside Constitutional violations at a whim. It makes America worse off...

I have seen some of your comments and it shows a great disdain for America.

The constitution is applied differently during times of war. Look at any war in the history of this country. We rounded up the enemy combatants during WW2. Several lives were saved because of Roosevelt and his implementation of the internment camps. It sent a message that the dissenters and traitors would be dealt with.

At the time of the decision those were the right decisions and if reversed, would have caused great upheaval to this country.
