Wacky Jap Humor
We may have to fight WWII again I'm not making that up
Lordy, I guess you can do that to people if you don't have to worry about them shooting you. Oh, here's a thought, it's where the BATF start their training tactics.
I half think I'd love going to Japan. It would give you enough of a culture shock because of how different some things are, even given their high tech and odd culture...but modern enough not to feel like you're in the third world.
Plus scrolling through Jap TV, and seeing it as a whole, and not just what works its way occasionally onto the internet, would be hilarious.
They say Prophet Mohamed beheaded 1000 persons in Medina, but it's a Japanese soldier that beat the record. In a competition, he managed to lop off 3,000 Chinese heads in Nanking that day!
Thanks to the Lord, the sand monkeys did not get the chance to convert them to the religion of peace!

Stationed in Iwakuni in 1986, Japs are weired, horribly demented, obsessed with bodily functions, and just generally dorks that don't get it. Jap Television was just beyond description. -Anymouse
Don't turn your back on a Japanese business man. They know their mothers and grandmothers (and now great grandmothers) screwed our GI dads and grandfathers for pennies and candy bars and they hate us for it.
I suggest you read a book about Asian business practices. "The Asian Mind Game." is a good one. To over simplify the Chinese, the Japanese, the Koreans, view buisiness as war. There is no win-win. There is only I win you lose. The Chinese will screw a relative to the wall and the next day they'll go out to diner. Nothing personal, just business. One Asian of my aquaintance said The Americans conduct war like a business that makes them very dangerous.

ReplyDelete"If you're not afraid of the Japanese, it's because you don't know them well enough"
ReplyDeleteI think I am paraphrasing Steven De Beste, but even if I got the attribution wrong, the thought holds true.
They are a complete mad bunch.
(on the other hand, the Japanese practical joke shows are Extreme and funny.)

You may be right; Pearl Harbor may have been their idea of a prank.

I saw racism in Japan, and it appears sadism also lies just beneath the surface.

Visited back in the 70s. Good fun watching Bonanza on TV. Hoss and little Joe talking the lingo with Hoss having a verry high squeeky voice.
ReplyDeleteIf we are doomed to fight WWII again, I say we start with August, 1945, and work our way backwards.

ReplyDeleteLet's not let the Hyperbole turn into a plan. Japan may be the sole nation on earth that Obama hasn't alienated.
ReplyDeleteIf... not "if"; *when* the Japanese banks refuse to buy any more Treasury notes at the current interest rates, you won't hear me blaming Japan.
ReplyDeleteA wise man once gave me this advice:
