You thought that was mean?
Here's mean (since you are obviously ignorant of the event):
Nanking Massacre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Do you actually think I give a shit about HOW they tried to protect themselves?
I don't.
They did whatever they did.
Did it CHANGE them? Their society? Their beliefs?
It did.
Amazing. You think the Rape of Nanking was a protective action? It was genocide pure and simple. You can't refine it. Your attempts to do so only make you look innocent. Furthermore, Nanking was just the most famous atrocity committed by the Japanese during their expansionist war with China.
China was trying to protect itself from Japan and not the other way around. For that, the people were systematically murdered by Japanese soldiers.
Did you take your history classes in Japanese schools? If so, you probably have been given a healthy dose of revisionist history.
Move there and live, for 5+ years. THEN, come talk to me about them.
By that logic, I could say that you can't comment to me about Afghanistan or New Orleans after the Hurricane since you (most likely) weren't there and I was.
But that is asinine logic. Especially for a message board.
