Someone pls explain why

I reckon that the allies had suffered so many losses by that point, both civilian and military, that they really didn't give a toss anymore. War brings out the worst in people, both causing them to be vengeful and desensitised to suffering. What I will say though is that there were 3 days between the two nukes.

Snee,

I was answering the point 'if you don't like it, become part of the legal system and change it' with that Japanese immigration article, nothing more.

I think the casualty figures are derived from the number of deaths caused during the period of conflict, but I'm willing to be proven wrong. Now, even assuming the birth defects and chronic deaths etc aren't factored in, I still doubt they would add up to a fraction of allied losses if they were. Russia lost 23.5 million civilians, Japan lost 2.5. Also, the repercussions of war are not limited to Japan or birth defects and cancer. Think of the millions who grew up in the shadow of poverty, without fathers or possibly mothers. The Japanese have no more right to complain about the unfairness of war than anyone else.

I don't really think that guy has the brains to make it through law school anyways, like.

It was more of a rhetorical fuck off kinda thing.

Fair enough, and a good point.

Historically, they kinda' do have a pretty good excuse to be grumpy about it, after a fashion. Technically, afaik, they were turned into an expansionist empire by primarily US interests.

In the mid-1800s japan was forced to open trade with foreign nations, by a mostly american fleet of ironclads, kickstarting their turning from a tradionalist, extremely insular society, with few interests in matters outside of Japan (and even much of that came from europeans forcing their way in, after a fashion).

At the time of WWII they'd been building up steam, for nigh on a century, towards a confrontation with all the nations who'd been using them as a doormat at one point or another, with a fair bit of people reckoning that was the way to end that sort of thing, I imagine.

Hmm, well I would imagine that if they were so reluctant to trade with America they really ought to have found a more sensible way to oppose them than join a war in the most cowardly and incendiary way possible. Then, after suffering massive civilian casualties after the first nuclear attack, they might have thought of surrendering before the second hit.

In any case, they're doing pretty well out of being kicked into the global marketplace now, so I doubt they have much reason to complain about that.

Another reason that the Japs come across as perverted is because they don't have the same shame about sexuality. The idea that pornography is dirty and wrong is more of a western thing, mostly brought about by religion. In Japan, sex is the same as eating and sleeping. To them, it's a bodily function.

A bodily function that is blurred out by a fecking mosaic. Even if it's a cartoon. Censored cartoon vaginas in a sea of raped and humiliated schoolgirls, it's insane.

Defacating is a bodily function and it isn't censored in Japan. Go to empornium to be regaled with a spycam in a Japanese public toilet and watch a local lady poo - BUT if the camera strays past the chocolate teddy bear's arm hanging from her distended anus to her inert fanny, it's mosaic city.

Draw your own conclusions re. shame about sexuality and perversion.


Fucking irrational censor happy Japanians. I agree with the thread starter.

Japan sucks.
Except for Snee - who is alright, for a Japanian.
