Mothers and Fathers of soldiers fighting overseas against the Japs were held as prisoners. Yeah their son is risking his life for the country, but we better lock them up anyway just in case. Sounds like a dictatorship, not a democratic govt using sound reasoning.
That is the whole statement that you saw fit to cut up for your views. So no I do not feel the Constitution is wrong for having that provision. However; it is expected to be used with proper judgement. Your view that the govt did that is a mere opinion. Your statement that War is hell is ridiculous. Other than Pearl Harbor what battle during WWII took place on American soil.
Your skin color made you a potential terrorist. Yes it does.
Well I guess bones was right you do make racist statements. They were not citizens and one (probaply more) had an expired visa but was allowed to stay. If you are not a citizen you are not protected under any American laws, and so therefore if all non-citizens are either deported or put in interm camps for questioning I see no problem with that.
I have asked questions and you have not answered. Tap dance around this all day long it still does not change this. Of course I argue on opinion, that is how this whole thing got started. But you don't have any facts at all to prove your point. Again another failure to answer a question. You cannot produce a quote. You try again to use the one above that you cut just to fit your point of view.
Of course I can't say for sure what I would of done. It's called being realistic. No one can say for sure. Times were different, you can't feel the emotionalism the way it was felt then. But I can say for sure that I would of not been for the locking up of American citizens based only on the color of their skin.
Ohh ok so you wont say you are sorry but you will give them money. That makes total sense. Why even give them money if you did nothing wrong? You have talked to all those in the 1941 generation? You have all their views, every last one of them? Whatever, I volunteer at the Veterans home here and help out at the VFW and about 75% of those men I talk to that fought in the war say they feel that locking up those Japs that were citizens, especially those that had sons, fathers, and husbands in the war was wrong. As far as the non-citizens go they say the same; They have no protection under our laws.
OK so if we had all these conservatives back in the 40's then why all the liberalism now. Shouldn't we all still be conservative, both Democrat and Republican. There you go again with that lame tactic. It is getting quite old already, try something else. "Don't have a cow" what are you in high school?
Exactly, so what happened to liberalism back then to get the slaves their reparations. It's too late for them now but why didn't they get it back then.
Everything I do irratates you. LOL
That is the whole statement that you saw fit to cut up for your views. So no I do not feel the Constitution is wrong for having that provision. However; it is expected to be used with proper judgement.
It was. If it wasn't, why weren't there protests? We protested slavery which was wrong, so if this was wrong there would have been protests. There wasn't protests because it was the right thing to do.
Your view that the govt did that is a mere opinion. Your statement that War is hell is ridiculous.
You don't believe war is hell?
Other than Pearl Harbor what battle during WWII took place on American soil.
What does that have to do with Jap sympathizers committing possible sabotage?
Well I guess bones was right you do make racist statements.
You don't believe that Arabs commit more terrorists acts than other races? How many white people participated in the hijackings?
They were not citizens and one (probaply more) had an expired visa but was allowed to stay.
Are you naive enough to believe that the there were no Islamic-Americans in on the conspiracy to hijack the planes? Do you always lay yourself out to be taken advantage of?
If you are not a citizen you are not protected under any American laws, and so therefore if all non-citizens are either deported or put in interm camps for questioning I see no problem with that.
You can't make up your mind again. You just called me a racist for singling out Arabs, and now you support the same thing that I supported. So were the founding fathers wrong when they put the provision in that innocent Americans can be held without charges?
I have asked questions and you have not answered.
Ask your questions.
Tap dance around this all day long it still does not change this.
Around what?
Of course I argue on opinion, that is how this whole thing got started.
So why are you saying I can't?
But you don't have any facts at all to prove your point.
There is the fact that no sabotage was committed on the mainland after we locked up potential Japanese sympathizers. There was sabotage after 1993 when we didn't.
Again another failure to answer a question.
Ask your question.
You cannot produce a quote.
So I'm not allowed to answer if I don't use quotes?
You try again to use the one above that you cut just to fit your point of view.
Huh?
Of course I can't say for sure what I would of done.
But you gladly lambaste those who weren't as wishy-washy as you.
It's called being realistic.
It's called being indecisive and wishy-washy.
No one can say for sure.
I can. Lock'em up. Too much was at stake.
Times were different, you can't feel the emotionalism the way it was felt then.
Yes I can. Remember 9-11.
But I can say for sure that I would of not been for the locking up of American citizens based only on the color of their skin.
You have no common sense.
Ohh ok so you wont say you are sorry but you will give them money.
This is a practical world. It runs on money. If Japanese-Americans were singled out and lost their possessions because of the war, then there should have been immediate efforts to ease them back into the economic system.
That makes total sense. Why even give them money if you did nothing wrong?
Because they were victims of the war. Reparations is a form of the word "repair". We would be repairing, not apologizing, by making reparations.
You have talked to all those in the 1941 generation?
It's necessary to talk to them? I'm not allowed to have opinions of past events if I didn't actually talk to the people involved? Does that mean you have no opinion of the holocaust since you haven't spoken to Hitler, Goebles, or any of the other Nazi leaders?
You have all their views, every last one of them?
Do you of the holocaust?
Whatever, I volunteer at the Veterans home here and help out at the VFW and about 75% of those men I talk to that fought in the war say they feel that locking up those Japs that were citizens, especially those that had sons, fathers, and husbands in the war was wrong.
Then why wasn't anything said at the time? I don't remember any protests going on.
As far as the non-citizens go they say the same; They have no protection under our laws.
You call me a racist for those views.
OK so if we had all these conservatives back in the 40's then why all the liberalism now.
Because the '60s aren't the '40s. Liberalism grew with television. Too few were given too big a voice because of television.
Shouldn't we all still be conservative, both Democrat and Republican.
Times change. You don't believe times change?
There you go again with that lame tactic. It is getting quite old already, try something else. "Don't have a cow" what are you in high school?
I'm not allowed to use figures of speech?
Exactly, so what happened to liberalism back then to get the slaves their reparations.
Releasing slaves wasn't liberal. Are you saying holding slaves was a conservative thing to do? It was common sense and moral to release the slaves because there was no reason to hold them. We didn't hold the Japanese for the purpose of making them do work, we held them to save American lives during a war.
It's too late for them now but why didn't they get it back then.
You like to lambaste every generation that has come before don't you? I guess all of our forefathers just weren't as smart, moral, and sophisticated as you, were they? We just got out of a Civil War with 600,000 dead. If 40 acres and a mule was the last thing on American's minds, I can understand that.
