LOL, I know all about that love/hate thingiee. You can almost tell how long a gaijin has lived in Japan by where they are at with it!
Nuff Said.
If this isn't clear, check with the taliban and Saddam whatshisname.
" I know all about that love/hate thingiee "
This whitewashing of WW2 history and the worship of WW2 class A war criminals at Yasukuni by every LDP Prime Minister since the end of the war are two things that REALLY get my blood boiling hot .
:)
"Do a little Googling on Unit 731 in Pingfan and Harbin during the 1930s. The cold, calculating brutality of the starvation, dehydration, pressure and other deadly human experiments equal the horror of anything done to anyone anywhere, ever."
You're probably right. Like those two little human experiments conducted when atomic bombs were dropped on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Lookit. Arguments like "the Japanese were worse than the Germans" must be substantiated by data. Bald assertions won't do. Whether its tactics, techniques, or simple body count.
But, really, what is going on here isn't a desire to get at some justice for whatever alleged atrocities were committed by whomever country. Or even an interest in the truth. Its just political opportunism and, maybe, legal posturing, all for financial gain and influence. That's all.
I choose to side with the Japanese. Banzai Nippon!
Well, I'm about as happy as I get. :>)
Find out how many Chinese died in WW2, then add in the numbers from the rest of Asia.

I think you missed the point entirely; there was no "experiment" involved. Please click on the "to 42" just below.
Past. Present. Future.
'Nuff said.

Main features:
Huge crowd. The New "Red Guards" reminiscient of the Cultural Revolution.
Young Communists with huge red communist flags, some with posters of Mao Tse Tung, throwing rocks and eggs at the Japanese Embassy.
Police allowing the vandalism, and then briefly overrun.
Saudi Embassy person's car turned upside down and torched because it was Japanese.
A dog dress up with a sign "Japanese are Dogs".

So omoimasu ka?
