:[ I feel teary

  • Mood: Tearful
  • Drinking: ...I'm out of mango juice again. D:

I just leanred about this today. Honestly... how can people be so sick? And how can History classes ignore this subject.

Oh yeah, US and Japan are pretty tight.

Come on Japan, Germany owned up to the Holocaust and paid their dues, and you won't even fucking mention something that destroyed so many people in the most inhumane ways in your textbooks? Are you that shamefully proud?

Japan is cool and all for some parts, but the political side of it makes me sad sometimes. :(

And no, you cannot deny this.

I'm literally feeling teary reading that post... :[ My heart hurts.

And people still don't learn. They say they'll look at the Holocaust and learn from their mistakes, and then they say Darfur doesn't matter/don't even know about it.

Reminds me of that part in one of my favourite books of all time, To Kill A Mockingbird, where Scout was befuddled at the hypocrisy of her teacher, who said the holocaust was horrible while at the same time she looked at black people like they were animals.

That's... harsh. I never knew [homeschooled and doesn't do schoolwork like she should]. But it's nice to know the truth about it. Really. I never knew much about WWII--only the front of Nazi's and Hilter and them with their whole 'kill the Jews' deal... But 'wow'. It's sad, hearing about that kind of thing....

It's ALL horrible. People raped, people experimented on, whether it's the Holocaust, Darfur, slavery...all these things mankind does to itself is tragic... *sigh* .__.

Have you ever seen Paradise road? It's about European/Asian women/children who were kidnapped by Japanese soliders (and I'm sure it's even played down ALOT - and the choir bit is annoying by all standards).. It gives you a good idea of what it was like to be a prisoner of war. An asian who is kidnapped by them is tied up, has gas thrown on her and then is without-even-a-blink of the persecutour lit on fire to DIE infront of all of her friends, and fellow prisoners because she retrieved quodine for a sick prisoner. And this story IS based off of a true story.

There are things that have happened in history that everyone ignores. The horrible things that happened to Chinese prisoners of war, the things that happened to homosexuals and JW's in the holocaust (and tons of other groups!), Darfur, even the American soliders in Iraq who through a puppy off a cliff. There's things going on today that if you knew about them, you would never sleep.

I think, attacking Japan for the same things that other countries are equally guilty of is a bit prejudice though. And also, I think you need to do a bit more research about something like that to make sure your opinion is based on truth and not just assumption (I'm not saying that that isn't so).

[link] Here is the wikipedia about it. "Nevertheless, an Imperial Proclamation (1894) stated that Japanese soldiers should make every effort to win the war without violating international law. According to historian Yuki Tanaka, Japanese forces during the First Sino-Japanese War, released 1,790 Chinese prisoners without harm, once they signed an agreement not to take up arms against Japan again.[8] After the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05), all 79,367 Russian Empire prisoners were released, and were paid for labour performed, in accordance with the Hague Convention.[9] Similarly the behaviour of the Japanese military in World War I (1914-18) was at least as humane as that of other militaries."

I don't really disagree with you. If they haven't recognized it and apologized for it, that would be very horrible for their international relations and for their consciences.

I wish people wouldn't be so damned ignorant to the going-on's around them today.. and in history.

But also, "According to the findings of the Tokyo Tribunal, the death rate among POWs from Asian countries, held by Japan was 27.1%.[12] The death rate of Chinese POWs was much larger because — under a directive ratified on August 5, 1937 by Emperor Hirohito — the constraints of international law on treatment of those prisoners was removed.[13] Only 56 Chinese POWs were released after the surrender of Japan.[14]" Now that's horrible.

Search up Rape of Nanking on wiki. That's what I'm talking about, and none of that is in the Japanese textbooks. Japan is too proud for that, to simply put. The sugarcoat things to amke themselves look better. Like that baseball played who refused to ever play in Japan again, the same one Japan goes all "OMG he's winning games in foreign games in our name go us!" about.

You're right, horrible things happen everywhere, but a lot of stuff gets ignored like whoa. Read the thread, that was the point.

And as far as I know, that's also part of the tragedy I'm talking about, judging by the locations and dates, right? Yeah, it's terrible. .-.

And, oh god, Toast, you're such a spammer. >___> "The Japanese government considers that the legal and moral positions in regard to war crimes are separate. Therefore, while maintaining that Japan violated no international law or treaties, Japanese governments have officially recognised the suffering which the Japanese military caused, and numerous apologies have been issued by the Japanese government."
