I wish the Japanese would apologize, but you live with the Japan you have, and not the Japan you wished it existed.Making yourself look barbaric and all riled up will not get you anywhere.It's not as simple as demanding an apology.Originally posted by SnowFlag:See how differently, countries treats Germany n Japan.
Germany admitted their mistakes right from the starts, but Jap is still unapologetic about their war crimes.
The 2 atomic bombs killed the japan civilians but the war criminals goes unpunished.
How would u expect China to treat Japan who seem to remain as pervert as before.
LazerLordz,
Stop looking down on the chinese who boycott the japanese goods. They are trying to make the japanese admit their war crimes.
By critising the chinese, r u any better? You are also sending the wrong message that there is no need to apologize for mistakes and the onus is for the victims to forget n forgive.
The same also applies to your stand.Originally posted by LazerLordz:I wish the Japanese would apologize, but you live with the Japan you have, and not the Japan you wished it existed.Making yourself look barbaric and all riled up will not get you anywhere.It's not as simple as demanding an apology.
so what's your point?Originally posted by SnowFlag:The same also applies to your stand.
"I wish the Chinese wouldn't boycott, but you live with the Chinese you have, and not the Chinese you wished it existed.Making yourself look barbaric and all riled up will not get you anywhere.It's not as simple as demanding a stop to boycott."
So?Well, we can agree to disagree.I just think that both extremist elements from China and Japan are just lowering the respect that each society should deserve.Originally posted by SnowFlag:The same also applies to your stand.

Yes each country set its own laws. I was just explaining the rational behind why rapists are kept behind bars for long period of time and in case of Singapore, also caned (actually many countries too). All these punishments are carried out to ensure that the rapists do not forget their crime.Originally posted by dragg:that is LAW. we set our own laws. rapist dont get the same sentence in other countries. you cannot compare that way. there is no law for wars. if one wants to hate or exact revenge then tell me what will happen to this world. just for example
many countries will hate germany
many countries will hate japan
many countries will hate russia
many countries will hate US
the list just goes on and on..
yeah I agree, perhaps LazerLordz should go and study history of japanese artrocites, I dun think u knew the how serious and offending the japs did during the war and WHY the chinese contine to feel this way after so many years, U're just a smarta$$ frog in the well LazerLordzOriginally posted by SnowFlag:See how differently, countries treats Germany n Japan.

most chinese, if not all know about the rape of nanking. ask yourself which country do not commit atrocities during war. i am sure that the japanese people know about it too. what purpose does it serve protesting? will it achieve the desired results? it is obvious the japanese aren't bothered about what the chinese think. there are many things that china and korea can do to force japan's hands. why didnt they do it? we know very well that they themselves dont really care enough. if the chinese really hate japan for what happened during WWII why do they still allow japan to invest in china. Politics are politics.Originally posted by Texcoco:yeah I agree, perhaps LazerLordz should go and study history of japanese artrocites, I dun think u knew the how serious and offending the japs did during the war and WHY the chinese contine to feel this way after so many years, U're just a smarta$$ frog in the well LazerLordz
i fully agree with you. china is playing a waiting game too. but in 50 years i doubt china will still be a communist. anyway a powerful china is not necessarily a good thing!!!Originally posted by vito_corleone:wait la..in 50 years time when china overtakes japan, she will have no choice but to apologise. her working population is shrinking and lack motivation and determination to work hard unlike her post-war generation whereas china can call upon a workforce of more than half a billion people. its only a matter of time my friend.![]()
for the japanese and the american government..its a bad thing..for us overseas chinese..it may not be so bad afterall.Originally posted by dragg:i fully agree with you. china is playing a waiting game too. but in 50 years i doubt china will still be a communist. anyway a powerful china is not necessarily a good thing!!!
What the Fcuk is that?Originally posted by ditzy:We are not only NATO, we are also TCSSFKFS.![]()
that is what most chinese tend to think. look at the way china is treating taiwan. remember our PM's visit to taiwan? look at how china made us pay. china is now only in the developing stage and it is already throwing its weight around. we have to understand that overseas chinese are not mainland chinese. china sees singaporean chinese as singaporeans not chinese. do you seriously think that china will remember our goodwill come the day they become the most powerful economy? think twice.Originally posted by vito_corleone:for the japanese and the american government..its a bad thing..for us overseas chinese..it may not be so bad afterall.
Originally posted by NuLife:that much is true. it will be many more years before china or korea can surpass japan. thus to the govt of japan there is no need to apologise yet. which PM of japan wants to have his name in history as the one who initiated an apology. moreover there is another factor - taiwan.
rmbr wat i mentioned?:

Then there is Korea too.
=> 2 growing powerful countries... what can japan do?
Infact , to the Japanese, the war will always be a 'PRIDE' for them.
Esp the older generations. And this presents a critical problem.
Japan will continue to be arrogant due its economy power and influence.
The only way China and Korea can do is to surpass Japan in that.
The proud Japanese will not apologise easily and will always believe it
can fend off competitions from china and korea.
Unless the Japanese government wants to maintains a growing economy,
protects its people overseas and be a friend of other asian countries,
it will never apologise, as apologising will affect its people's pride.

I have studied their atrocities and I have read up on Unit 731.Call me whatever you wish, but if the world revolves around people like you and your attitudes, we will never progress and will always be condemned to an endless cycle of vengeance.I'm talking about remembrance and moving on, you merely parrot their line of vengeance and bloodlust.Originally posted by Texcoco:yeah I agree, perhaps LazerLordz should go and study history of japanese artrocites, I dun think u knew the how serious and offending the japs did during the war and WHY the chinese contine to feel this way after so many years, U're just a smarta$$ frog in the well LazerLordz
if you're really that maganimous, you wouldn't have mentioned thisOriginally posted by LazerLordz:I have studied their atrocities and I have read up on Unit 731.Call me whatever you wish, but if the world revolves around people like you and your attitudes, we will never progress and will always be condemned to an endless cycle of vengeance.I'm talking about remembrance and moving on, you merely parrot their line of vengeance and bloodlust.
We are all entitled to our opinions and I hope I have been that much maganimous towards you and your ilk.Because if it were you, people with dissenting views would be just clamped down on.
taiwan has a feud with mainland china dating back 60 years, what problems do we have with china? none.Originally posted by dragg:that is what most chinese tend to think. look at the way china is treating taiwan. remember our PM's visit to taiwan? look at how china made us pay. china is now only in the developing stage and it is already throwing its weight around. we have to understand that overseas chinese are not mainland chinese. china sees singaporean chinese as singaporeans not chinese. do you seriously think that china will remember our goodwill come the day they become the most powerful economy? think twice.
