Opinion on the matter at hand:  It was 50 years ago.  Get the hell over it.  EVERYONE.  Just make the damn apology or (alternately) shut up about getting one.

I'll let it go when every attempt to gain reparations stops being shot down by Japanese courts. I mean, sure, we admit indirectly that we kidnapped all the "comfort girls" and repeatedly raped them, but we refuse reparations because it was soooo long ago! Well they're still here to sue you, dip****s, and nobody made any trials over that subject.

Even an attempt by POWs to gain reparations for their work for Japan (which cost many lives and was under conditions to make one puke) on the grounds they hadn't been paid for it failed.

They're just assholes. They deserve to be treated like assholes.

Japan was a much bigger asshole in WW2 than we were, I'm willing to let what they did to POWs and all of the lands they conquered go because it was three generations ago and they have sense shown themselves to be better than that, but if you want to dig that **** up I'm willing to pick it up also.

What, you weren't around when Kazan was still posting here?
I was, but I'm pretty sure he didn't post in here, nor do I remember his exact way of posting so ...

Good point. It's just so much harder for Chinese to forget when many Japanese don't know much about it.
Anyways, I was just trying both sides of the story in.

This topic has gone a little off-course, but I guess that's what they're there for. :P

Nixon bowed to Hirohito
