There simply doesn't exist a country that's always a righteous and self-distanced servant of undoubted truth.


Very true. Apparently Switzerland is close to this in our modern world XD

yeah...even if that is so, we could've used alternative methods to stop Japan. Bombing Japan twice isn't what i call justice.

I never said it was justice. This topic is going a little out of the way. I think the main point is that Japan had re-wrote a shameful part of their history and it is a bad thing to do.

@Savantsage: sorry i wasn't replying to your comment...I was replying to atat23's...
and I can agree with your last post, which is why history should be preserved: to remember what not to do and to realize our mistakes.

Yes...most of history is exaggerated, which is why we must rely on accurate sources, or at least try to.

It would be nice to think that with the freedom of speech act, the source you read is not pure propaganda. Then with that mindset you only need to filter out the inaccurate information from the accurate information. There's obviously some info that is more valid than others, but ultimately reality is what you make of it,

Quote from MizuiroMegami
Yeah we help countries...countries that we are willing to help!
Did the US ever help the philippines? When Marcos had his reign of dictatorship, the US went there and saved him! Then they planted him safely in Hawaii. Did the filipino people ever get justice?! Not only the Philippines, but the US never really helps the african nations either. We only helped Israel, and a few other countries.

And yes, all history is written by the victor...any history teacher will tell you that. Only a few historians in this world will actually write the unbiased truth.

and yes....we are xenophobic. we pretend that we accept other cultures. say "philippines" or "algeria" and people are like "where's that?" we are an ignorant and unfortunate culture.


u ever heard of the quote "every man for himself" ?
countries have war with each other, countries ally each other, countries argue with each other, countries negotiate with each other, countries stay neutral towards each other...

BUT, there is no such thing as countries HELPING EACH OTHER..... if there is such thing, its a contracted contribution or simply to keep a good image.... youre saying if africa, phillipines, and other 3rd world countries,,, if they had power they would help america?? no... every man who is a patriot to their country must take responsiblities to their own country... and try our bests to respect each other....

so my statement is....

there is NOTHING WRONG with countries helping themselves....
but there is WRONG in tyrany and war crimes.....

think in reality for example, are you a bad guy for not helping out the people that are less in need of you?? no... you have to help yourself, youre people ( citizens ), and YOURE FAMILY ( country )....
so that part is clearly justified....
thats just how the world is "HELP YOURSELF" and "EVERY MAN FOR THEMSELVES" ....

Quote from MizuiroMegami
I was answering a previous post <.<

Anyway the U.S. and Japan are both at fault during WWII [and all other wars >.<]...end of discussion


Japan, yes... US, no....
Japan started the war, US ended the war, simple as that...
japanese people seems to use "US bombing of hiroshima wa unreasonble" and that it was clearly unjustified....

some guy in this thread said there was more to pearl harbor, right? but than why didnt they bomb germany as they did to japan? simple, japan was f*cking with USA, and germany wasnt.... no need to go deeper into history, its common sense..... was it the right thing to do? yes... was it clearly justified? yes.... japan started the war, commited tyrany across most of asia, and the pearl harbor incident, obviously they were too dangerous, towards america? NO, for the entire world, basically to all human beings except japan... but the next reply ill get is probably not denying my statement, but setting another example what other countries did or somewhat..... arguments never end, because questions never get answered.... topic was, did japan commit the crime or not, i know what US did and how horrible it was but at least they admit everything....

@bluegreenangel: You are absolutely correct that Japan is wrong in textbook fact hiding. It is essential (and our utmost resposibility) to educate our future generations in spite of their (possible) apathy. And if we don't educate them who will? That is why history rewrites are a heinous crime; they are violating the right to truth in human beings.

---

HOWEVER! As far as US bombings on Japan go, that is incredibly cruel to say that Pearl Harbour justifies atomic warfare. I don't believe anyone truly has an absolute right to judge others on their actions for life is double-sided and there are always different perspectives. WWII technically ended when Germany surrendered; something that occured pre-bombing of Japan. While it is true Japan did not surrender at the time of Nazi downfall, I really, strongly disbelieve that it was necessary for the bomb to be dropped. Even for revenge or all that BS. mad


Makes me think about how we're living in Schnizel's "damocles-oriented" world bigrazz
