If some MFFY driver tries to take your right-of-way, and you are in a
comparable or larger vehicle, have the collision. They will *not*
forget the lesson.

Then there were a series of raids by the various Mayan

1200s to 1400s. No apologies there either.

Yeah, but

- The rape of Nanking happened within the lifetime of some people
still living today

As did the Conquest of Iraq. In fact, the invaders are still in Iraq.

Not invaders, but liberators - you dumb asshole!

Awww..., is Eddie cranky?

- Japan still has war memorials eulogizing some of the
perpetrators

The Japs were little better than savages. **** 'em!

George Tenet, Norman Podhoretz, and Paul Bremer have the Presidential
Medal of Freedom.

And rightly so! What have the god damn liberal Dems ever done to free
anyone?

- There is a significant level of denial at the national
level.

Yes, many USians still falsely believe the Conquest of Iraq was about
spreading democracy and protecting the world for weapons of mass
destruction.

That is exactly what it was about - you dumb asshole!

Ibid.

It wouldn't get us anything - but it would get Japan as a
nation/people enhanced credibility.

Same with the US.

Comparing the US to Japan is like comparing Sherman to Stalin. Hey, maybe
that is not so far fetched after all!

Stalin's daughter at last report lives in the same small Wisconsin town
I used to live in.

Stalin was a monster at least as evil as Hitler. But that is god damn
****ing liberalism for you, ever on the side of monsters!

I'm still wondering what the real reason we invaded Iraq is.
Maybe when the actors get a little older they'll write books
telling all.

But we'll all pay the price now that the inflation resulting from
a 62% increase in the federal deficit under those guardians of
fiscal responsibility is starting to kick in. Our kids are
probably going to get nothing. My only hope is that we don't
lose the house before we die.

But to compare Iraq to the rape of Nanking trivializes the
latter.

Read a couple of books or watch a couple of movies on the subject
and you'll get the point. A book: "The Rape of Nanking" by Iris
Chang. Couple movies: "Nanking" and "John Rabe".

The acts were bestial. Killing women (after raping them) by
jamming bayonets up the vagina was one that was reported
over-and-over. The command structure refused to take any action
to reign in the troops perpetrating such acts. The troops
themselves seemed to just be doing what they thought they were
entitled to do.

Germany owned up to theirs.

Another fifty years and nobody'll know the diff, but, for now,
Japan would be better off owning up to theirs.

Under Carter/Clinton the federal deficit was reduced by 13%.
Under Reagan/Bush it was increased by 62%.

Check out
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationa...idential_terms

From Roosevelt/Truman through Reagan/Bush, the deficit as a
percent of GDP increased by 43.7% under Republican
administrations and DECREASED by 75.7% under Democratic
administrations.

Freedom?

Report back on the larger meaning of "Freedom" when millions of
people who have worked all their lives plus more that are working
40-60 hours a week at the bottom of the wage scale don't have a
dime to their names because of double-digit inflation brought on
by deficit spending.

We are nearing a conclusion he If you a human being, you'll
probably have better quality of life in Japan, but if you are a whale
you are better stay off those waters.

Forget about Nanking. Everybody did terrible things like dropping the
Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Holocaust, and the raping of
thousands of German women by the Soviet troops.

And it's pretty cruel too that we keep the cyclists terrorized while
they are the ones doing something to save humanity.

I didn't say that you shouldn't retaliate.

What is MFFY though? GINMF today.

Clinton was only able to reduce the deficit because of pressure coming from
a Republican Congress. But Bush was a big spender and did not even have
brains enough to defend our borders from illegal aliens. But no one in the
world can spend like liberal Dems. Obama is bankrupting the country.

Being poor has nothing to do with freedom. It is better to be poor and free
than rich and in prison like some slobs I could name.

Hey, some people still deny or justify the slaughter at Sabra and Shatila.
