The fact that I did manage to make white American friends who shared my sentiments exactly.

You have white friends? Cool story.


Couldn't help it Dala lol

2 observations about the bolded:

1. A segment of America, not America as a whole.

2. Calling it paltry is a good way to encounter very negative reactions. I know what you meant but as an American it was HUGELY symbolic to us. You ask almost any American where they where and what they were doing on that date and they can tell you. It is a modern day Pearl Harbor and look how that is still held on to 70+ years later. Americans don't take that lightly. Just an observation.

It was relatively paltry. Deal with it, Stoked. It's fact.

You have a stick up your *** or something? Srs.

As far as what the U.S. did to Japan, let's not forget, they attacked us first. They attacked many nations first. They committed a number of atrocities. They employed suicide tactics. They basically demanded that we inflict heavy casualties before they would surrender.

The U.S. didn't go out of its way to hurt Japan. They started a fight with us and we fought back.

That's rather presumptuous of you. Here we are again.

It's opinion. And it's my opinion that you will get negative reaction from being dismissive of what happened. Deal with it Dala.

So, Dala, do you agree with the "paltry" attack on 9/11? Just curious?

When I say the term 'relatively paltry', do you in fact know what the word 'relative' means?

it is factually relatively paltry.

I take you're not going to answer my question. I only ask because of you willingness to marginalize it. The outrage you had when someone on here insulted millennials, I would equate that same feeling to your opinion of the 9/11 attacks. Just my ****ty opinion, as I'm sure you'll classify it.

and it'll forever be disputed whether the actions they took were too extreme. The reason it's still debated is because there is no clean answer to it. What we do know is that hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians who had nothing to do with the decisions that their political advocates were doing were on the receiving ends of their misjudgement, and despite this they still seem to be forward-looking.

I'm not saying that they should be holding grudges-- i'm just saying that it's so impressive that they don't, and that I doubt there are many other countries in the world who've done the same. The likes of Joe Bagadonuts find it annoying when Obama apologizes for "being American", for one.
