    noirgaijin - thanks for the offer; I was in London recently and developed a taste for Strongbow Cider - but was told by a true Englishman they consider it swill. I'd still take one!

    If you visit the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Survivors Hospital, you will realize that, for some people,…

    Japan is a different country and this is unrelated to this subject

    Well, I would tend to disagree. The discussion on this thread has turned to the reparations paid to Japanese-Americans, and subsequently how horrible or not there treatment was during internment. I would justify the relevancy of my commments…

    How does that excuse another country from doing the right thing with regards to people they have wronged? You think that two wrongs somehow make a right? There are many examples of nations trying to the right things by others; why not try to emulate them?

    Oh, I'm not trying…

    sfjp330 - you seem to be intent on stating issue with U.S. policy without answering any questions posed to you. I would be interested to know your thoughts on the 130,000 (likely more - official records are almost non-existent to a degree) civilians interned by the Japanese. If you believe…

    Americans don't expect to be thanked for killing Japanese during the war, that would be absurd and that's not what the service on the Mo is about. I think you're wrong - America has forgiven Japan. In truth, most younger people today know very little about the war - well,…

    YuriOntani:

    timorborder, how about towing the mighty Mo to Japan so it can be scrapped? It could be arranged within sight of the 1945 ceremony. I tire of these stories of the great Americans beating the evil Japanese and the celebration of the war events. These stories and the reactions…

    just learning that one of these guys was convicted in the past, and get this, molesting 500 kids..... what is with the US system?

    Yeah, go figure. We'll sentence someone to 20 years for drug possession, but ten years for killing someone or doodling children.

    There's a website here…

    I have to agree with Taka on this one; the U.S. is failing miserably on many issues dealing with children - and education is at the top of the list. One of my sons is twelve; he gets text books. They never seem to open these, at least not for…

    Berserker I like your style; not a bunch of emotional or political mutterings or comments from poorly written and researched articles, but good, hard facts. Just the way an argument should be, and fantastic job.

    While certainly at a glance I would never condone or agree with imprisoning Americans because…

    I'm waiting for 'Poland Forgets Anniversary of WWII' news. That will be the day.

    That day should never come. History has a nasty habbit of repeating itself, and those that sacrificed and died should never be forgotten. But I get what your saying.
