Post by: Amaranthine on June 09, 2009, 08:21:03 PM: Hey there! Well, despite the fact that the main language here is English, we are a VERY international community here. So please don't be afraid to ask questions about a certain word or if you want to say something in English, but just don't know how to say it. :)

With that being said, Welcome to the forum! :)

It's good to have a diverse community. I know nothing about the place you live, but I hope we have enough similarities to get along. :)

It is always a pleasure to welcome new members to our community and a special pleasure it is when silent observers decide to post after all :yes
Many of us here are no native speakers of the English language so you are certainly not alone in case you have any troubles with the language.
Please feel hearty invited to join our discussion or start threads of your own. Under which name did you try to register originally? What exactly didn't work with that account?

Post by: Littlefoot1616 on June 10, 2009, 06:18:17 AM: :wave Hi there Paradise Bird! :wave

Welcome to the Gang of Five forum. Glad to see a quiet member finally come forward and introduce themselves. As most have already said, a good portion of this forum does not speak English as a first language so do not be afraid to ask if something doesn't quite make sense.

We did have a member who was japanese (if I remember rightly) but we haven't heard from him in quite a while now. We always leave channels open to those who decide to leave for whatever reason so there is always an invitation to return when they feel ready ;)

Aside from that, glad to have to onboard! Enjoy your stay with us here and cya on the forum!

So do you think that people living today and born recently ought to be hated for crimes committed by people from their country more than 60 years ago?
Should a people as a whole be hated?

Post by: Nick22 on June 11, 2009, 01:30:34 AM: The treatment of the peoples of southeast asia by the Japanese in WW2 and before , was terrible, and there are many who still hold resentment against the japannese for thier treatment.. I'm currently reeading a book about Hideki Tojo, who was the wartime leader of Japan, and who was hanged in 1948..
Title: Newbie
Post by: Malte279 on June 11, 2009, 03:53:22 AM: I did not question that. Never would I.
The only country that lost more people in WW2 than China was Russia, the percentage of people killed in Singapore and in other South Eastern states is among the highest too, and the abuse and murdering of civilians and POWs is well documented. The refusal of the Japanese government to accept the historic responsibility for their crimes is outrageous (e.g. the visit of then prime minister Junichiro Koizumi to the Yasukuni Shrine where known criminals of war are hailed as heroes and where active attempts are made to rewrite history denying Japanese crimes and glorifying WW2) and I would really hope for a change in the policies of Japan (and some other countries) regarding their treatment of their own history.
What I DO oppose however is the blaming of a whole people most of whose parents weren't even born before the end of the war and the hating of a people as a whole in general. I can only judge individuals and while certain ways of acting and thinking may be more likely to be found in some countries than in others I think we must guard against lumping millions of people together and hating them for just belonging to that people. That is the kind of hatred which ultimately led to such crimes as WW2!
Title: Newbie
Post by: Paradise Bird on June 11, 2009, 04:00:44 AM: Agreed but we also are most angry with the Japanese for not declaring their mistakes.They continue to teach about their glory at the espense of the youth believing us to be useless.If you watch this video you will realise that it has a deep meaning.

Post by: Malte279 on June 11, 2009, 04:37:32 AM: I probably lack the knowledge to figure out what that MCDonald clown video has to to with the situation.
As I said I'm perfectly with you when it comes to the necessity of Japan changing the way they deal with their history. The denial or even the not mentioning of the crimes (e.g. the rape of Nanjing) in school books is absolutely intolerable.
But hating every single member as a people on the basis that he or she belongs to the people is as irresponsible dealing with the presence as this ignoring or denial of crimes is irresponsible dealing with the past and both is going to contribute to the problems of the future.
Unfortunately Japan is by no means the only country that ignores, denies, or euphemizes the crimes committed in the past. It is rather creepy how many mass murders and even genocides could happen throughout the history of the last 100 to 150 years with hardly anyone noticing it.
But if we really are to learn from the past to prevent repetition in the future I think we must not allow for the hatred of that time to infest ours but to try to promote change (the denial of such crimes really should not continue) on a different basis than hatred.

Post by: Paradise Bird on June 11, 2009, 05:15:57 AM: That's why I said I was worried if the member that is japanese know how am I and him going to face.
