San Francisco....figures....Just plain nasty...
The rest of the USA should sever relations with the City of Washington D.C.when they unveil a statue paying tribute to crack head, race baiter Marian Berry.
Like slavery here in the US.
Go to Japan, as I have numerous times, and travel by train. You will find that the Japanese school children are often on trains taking field trips. If they see you, most likely they will engage you and their pitch almost always is: “Why did you bomb us? and promise you won’t ever do it again!” The Japanese still don’t acknowledge what they did in the years in the run up to Pearl Harbor and the fact that they attacked us. Talk about indoctrination of their children with the untruthful narrative that America started WWII with Japan, and that somehow Pearl Harbor was a “response.”
Honoring comfort women is nasty?
I like how Democrats complain that Confederate statues are “controversial” while putting up stuff such as this and Harvey Milk.
Wow, that is interesting. I’m going there next spring for the first time.

If you go to a Germany and Ride the train you might meet a young “german” who will ask you if you worship a pedophile moon god like they do and if you say you don’t, you will never have to worry about having a headache again, ever...
All three of my daughters attended local public elementary school in Japan from grades 1-6. I reviewed their text books. Pearl Harbor is mentioned and underemphasized, Hiroshima and Nagasaki are overemphasized but understandable as they affected Japan far more than they did us.
What I found most interesting however, was that the Japanese text book version of American history was far more pro-American and, in many cases, more detailed than ours.
Well the good news is that the Chinese will pretty much keep the Japs from getting uppity again.
When a**holes collide.
The bickering between China and Japan has been going on for centuries, well over a thousand years. There have been times when the Chinese got uppity and tried to invade Japan, but were repelled by the Japanese. Chinese would kidnap Japanese women and tie them by ropes to the outside of their boats and taunt the Japanese. Westerners don't understand history more than a few years back.
and the Japs got off easy for their war crimes of WWII...what the Japs did in the 30’s and 40’s to non-Japs makes the islamists of today look like amateurs..
“I LIVED in Japan 14 years, traveled by train more times that you could count, saw many school field trips and was never once engaged in a conversation with school children anything close to what you describe.”
Well, that is not my experience, and as luck would have it, our daughter and son-in-law ( who is half-Japanese American, and whose mother grew up in a camp here) arrived here a few minutes ago and so I posed the question I posted to them. They BOTH said that what I wrote to you was SPOT ON, and they lived and worked in Japan for several year, and are fluent Japanese speakers.
>I don’t have any use for San Francisco and don’t make it a habit to defend the city but “comfort women” did happen...and shouldn’t have happened.
Comfort women happened in Germany too, with allied troops. But in that case, it was just a choice between a woman and her children starving to death or whoring herself out for food to the occupying troops. So I guess you could say they did have a choice. I guess.
My cousin, who is a surgeon and rabid member of the Green Party in Germany was raging at my Mother about how Trump was going to drag Germany and the rest of the world into war. I told her next time she should say to my cousin, well Germany had the last two times so maybe now it was America's turn. I said that should make my cousin's head explode!
Well we did sail into Tokyo Bay in 1853 and threaten to shell them unless they agreed to trade with us.
Too many Japanese for the locals in SF?
