My goodness.. you are a crafty devil aren't you!

From denial, to dehumanization, to revisionist, to distraction. If you are a scholar show us what you've got. Otherwise, it is clear you are not interested in the truth at all.

Peeps? You pulling my leg? Dehumanizing people is what made the atrocities possible. These were vibrant, living people, each with a soul and a purpose. Like you, like me.

People.

Another (informed) opinion kakikai? Iris Chang wrote a book. Have you read it?

Atrocities probably did occur..

Probably? Tension occurs because Japan continues to whitewash this. The barbarism at Nanking shocked even Nazi Germany to which there is documentation. The Asahi newspaper in Japan proudly proclaimed the "Rape of Nanking" and reported atrocities almost daily. Probably everybody knew - at that time.…

kakikaki - That's quite an opinion. If you are near as interested in what actually happened I might suggest:

My copy went to the library just yesterday, coincidentally, otherwise I'd have been happy to give it to you.

Word to the wise - Don't expect to breeze through the department store for the choco on the way to meet your sweety come the 14th. That might be a mistake. Last minute flowers works fine because nobody does that here and they're not busy. But over where they do…

Buy silver, buy gold. Stock up on food and make good friends of your neighbours - you're going to need them. And can you fix stuff? It should be interesting.

Bullies and violent behaviors shoul be stopped...i'm glad those 2 students are arrested and punished by the laws.

Right.. enough attitudes like that and we'll be walking into a police state in no time as society falls apart. Most of the bullies I think are on this board.

You guys are missing the point. Yadda yadda, police lieutenant, yadda yadda suspended sentence.

Lieutenant or not, perv or not, he hasn't done anything (that we know of). By leaving your home and entering public place it's accepted that you've given up some degree of personal privacy. Society wouldn't work…

A copper doesn't know enough law to stand up for himself? Perv or not whatever light reaches the retina.. And what if he had been sketching?

Does he upload to a porn site or something? There must be more to it. I bet he was hanging upside down drooling on…
