we have a new speedposting record

normal it's only after the 10th post
congrats
So they never forgave their own country for what they did back in WW2?I can never never forgive terrorism
Which is shooting an innocent tourist.
Congrats, we have a new moronic post record. Normally, it's only after the 10th post that we see this level of ignorance.
My post has relavence to this thread, yours does not. I see no problem with bringing up WW2 if it relates to the topic at hand.

Did you mysteriously miss the rest of my post? My point is that if the Japanese really believe that, they are hypocrites because their own country was FAR worse than we are.

How is bringing up something happened 60 years ago relavent to what American do today? If that is a fair game, let's bring up how American killed the natives Indians too.......
It's always the other guy that's worng. You are Just like the Japanese, trying to make your own toilet paper out of them. If you could maybe notice that we are all the same, maybe do you vomiting and get on with the work of considering ways to change.Originally posted by: XZeroII

Lets bring up how the egyptions enslaved whole races of people. Let's bring up how the french and english would kill women and children in their century long wars.
You know, it doesn't begin with America and the indians. This whole concept of taking land has happended for centuries before america was even dreamed of.
Now, maybe someone with an ounce of sense here can tell me why my point was relavent to the topic, and indians are not? Let me choose a random 2nd grader from the audience, yes little Billy.
"Americans are not making toilet paper (and buying it) that says that they will never forgive terrorism when they themselves did it less than 100 years ago"
Thank you Billy. That was very good. I'm glad that even a 2nd grader can see that.
What does that have to do with anything. I just made a simple observation and suddenly everyone puts words in my mouth and assumes that I hate the Japanese and America is superior. Where do you people get crap like that. Read the words I post, not what you think is going on in my head.Originally posted by: Moonbeam

Well if we can forgive ourselves for genocide against the native americans and "get over" the fact we enslaved the africans (now african americans), then certainly the Japanese can do the same with WWII. Right? Why's it still hanging over their heads making them alleged hypocrites?
I'm saying that by saying what you're saying you are doing what they did, deflect awareness away from your own guilt. You can't get off the merry-go-round if you don't know you're on one. You are applying a form of rationalization. We are all the same.Originally posted by: XZeroII

I do forgive them. But when you claim that you will NEVER forgive terrorists when your own country did it less than 100 years ago, that is hypocritical. The fact remains that they did forgive their own country for doing it. Forgivness has nothing to do with it. If I were to say that I will never forgive terrorists, that would make me a hypocrite as well, but I would never say that. They are demonizing us for something that they themselves did less than 100 years ago.
That is ALL I am saying. Nothing more. Get it??????

100 years sounds like an arbitrary number. Why not 50? Or 200?
