Let's pause, and remember the time when men were men, and the sheep knew their place. A time when we actually gave our enemies the thumping they so thoroughly deserved, without endlessly whining about it. Yes, it will soon be the 62nd Anniversary of the Atomic bombing of Hiroshima. And, I'm certain it will be mentioned on shortwave, so keep your radio on. Radio Japan, 6145, coming in very well here via The 'Stan at 0000 GMT, 6 August 2007. Initial news seemed to contain hand-wringing, whining, and as usual, failure to take responsibility. And later programming also seems to try to deflect responsibility for their actions, and to place blame elsewhere. All talk now is of PEACE! Where was their PEACE on December 7, 1941? Typical of the Japs. And then some cockbite American comes on, talking about how many Japanese lives were affected? Give me a break! How many American lives were affected by the slant eyed **** throughout the entire war? In my 41 or 42 years of SWL'ing, nothing has changed. More **** from Japan. dxAce Michigan USA The dropping of the bomb saved millions of American and Jap lives because it saved Japan from being invaded.Funny, they didn't mention that. The Japs started the damn war ! Funny, they didn't mention that either........ They do seem to avoid certain realities. I was speaking with an American rep from Fuji film two years ago, who mentioned that that extra kick of blue in Fuji film, as well as the phosphors on Mitsubishi television sets is there to keep native Japanese from looking so yellow on camera. And apparently they're so dishonored by their defeat that Mitsubishi do not acknowledge, and have done everything possible to destroy documentation for, the Zero. They haven't forgotten the war. In a release meant only to be seen by the eyes of Japanese captains of industry, the economic minister, in the 70's, set out a plan whereby Japanese industry would overtake the US and work to bankrupt, and humble the arrogant Americans in an economic war that they (meaning we, the US) could not win. For awhile it seemed that they would succeed. Paybacks, however, being a bitch, saw otherwise. That mindset, though, is still in play today, in the form of the auto war between Toyota and General Motors....ironically, a microcosm of the rivalry between Japan and the US....where if they'd join us as allies, the potential for mutual benefit is dramatic. The alliance between Toyota and GM in the 80's and 90's produced two of Toyota's most successful models. It also produced profits that enabled Toyota to come after GM today. And again, ironically, doing so by playing absent the rules by which US manufacturers have to play. You know, we rebuilt them after the war. W. Edwards Deming's (an American) theories permitted their industry to return to strength in less than 20 years, our own welcome mat generosity allowed them to establish a base of operations in this country that has made Japan a global economic power. You'd think somewhere there might be a 'thank you.' But noooOOOOOOoooo.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Lets See . . . Japan and the Japanese never Apologized to China for the Rape of Nanking. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanking_Massacre Japan and the Japanese never Apologized to the Korean 'Comfort' Women. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comfort_women Japan and the Japanese never Apologized for the Bataan Death March and the Inhumain Treatment of Prisoners of War - Slave Labor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bataan_Death_March http://www.rense.com/general8/pows.htm and the japanese say we caused it all . . . BULL SH*T ~ RHF ****************************************** And because of that and, of course, Pearl Harbor, I have NEVER owned a Tore-Up-Yota, Honda, Nissan, or Mitsubishi. Yes, I know that many parts are bought and used by American auto makers, but I cannot help that. IMHO, to buy those makes is near treason so far as I am concerned. Its almost impossible to buy purely American products, but I try. So I quietly make a statement by driving GM cars--particularly Chevrolet. Some of us say, "OH! But American cars are no good!" Horse hockey! I have driven MANY GM cars/trucks with a minimum of trouble for 40 years, and some of them over 250,000 miles before succumbing to "trading fever". A buddy of mine has an 86 Silverado with 450,000 miles on it, replacing ONE engine and ONE tranny in 20 years. Gonna keep it, too! In fact, the older I get, the less need I see for buying newer cars and my latest car is a Chevy S-10 with 161,000 (so it's relatively "new"). And, like the rest of my American cars, I have had FEW issues with it. In fact, the things I have replaced in the last 7 years are normal wear items--tires, batteries, belts, an alternator, one ball joint---and the truck is 10 years old! It has been a solid, reliable, relatively economical vehicle and, should I replace it, it will be another pickup---probably another, newer Chevy S-10. Heck if it breaks, I can fix it, and I STILL don't have a car payment next month!! So flame and criticize away. I AIN'T fergittin' and I ain't buyin no Honda!~ :) J . . . . |
