Yeah, one of my old high school buds' grandfather spent World War II in a Jap prison camp. He used to talk about how the guards used to take bets on who could split Allied POWs (chosen at random) right down the middle with their samurai swords.

Nowadays, whenever the Japs publicly lament the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nukings, I just shake my head at their utter hypocrisy.

"Hypocrisy" consists of the inconsistencies we see in the behavior of others ~ whether or not those inconsistencies exist.

The overwhelming majority of modern Japanese were born AFTER WWII and have not had an opportunity to split Allied soldiers down the middle with swords.

They are no more hypocritical about that than you are.

BTW, Islam and Liberalism focus mostly on "hypocrisy". Islam prescribes the death penalty for hypocrits. Liberalism is not much better.

Best to dwell on one's own hypocrisies than to get caught up in the Moonbat world of moral standards.

My second cousin spent time in a Jap prison camp and could never have children. What they did to him was something he could never talk about. He once went to our farmer’s market in the park in town and they were having a display for the bombing of Nagasaki, etc. and boy, he reamed them all a new one for that.
