happythoughts 0 #26 August 30, 2010 Is someone trying to draw a comparison between the Japanese, who haven't attacked the US in 60 years, and current events ? It's embarrassing that someone posted that. Hey, how 'bout them Apaches ? (That's only another 150 years back, but just as relevant.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

World War II was relevant even though it happened 60 years ago. The US Constitution is relevant even though it's over 200 years old. Ignoring things like that because they are not "current events" is like ignoring someone's medical history when trying to diagnose them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If one is determined to remain ignorant, learn nothing of history, and act from emotion instead of knowlege, one has that right. You would be acting like an idiot, but one has the right to act like an idiot if one chooses. The Shinto Shrine is in the middle of Ground Zero for the Pearl Harbor attacks. That is a FACT. The loudmouths that started the "No Moslem Community Center" threads can't back up their opinions with facts. Why is ~25000 feet better than ~1000 feet? YOU CAN'T ANSWER, because there is no logical answer. It is a load of bullshit, and your nose has been well rubbed in it. Enjoy the experience. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the US Constitution is silent on the issue of the end of the Mayan Calendar in 2012. Maybe someone on the right could blame that on the muslims too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,009 #38 August 31, 2010 >International affairs or domestic? I didn't think you'd be willing to answer. To get back to the point: Most Americans (outside SC of course) _do_ support the US Constitution; indeed, many here have sworn to do so. It doesn't matter that it's over 200 years old. Most Americans also acknowledge that it's a good idea to learn from history. That's why we teach it in schools. That way we can avoid foolish mistakes from the past like the Salem witch trials, Prohibition, segregation, anti-miscegenation laws and Japanese internment camps.

stayhigh 2 #48 August 31, 2010 The germans truly changed there nazi ways and thoughts but the Japaneses has NOT. The germans are taught the truth about world war 2 while japaneses student are hidden away from the truth in middle and high school curiculum. The japaneses's theory is that in mean time people will forget and time will erase the shamefull history. Their emperialism still lives on as their politians are still claiming one piece of island in middle of korea and japan as their land.

D'oh! ======== The Lod Airport massacre was a terrorist attack that occurred on May 30, 1972, in which three members of the Japanese Red Army, on behalf of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), killed 26 people and injured 80 others at Tel Aviv's Lod airport (now Ben Gurion International Airport).
