Maybe if more people could think outside the box like me (as I write songs and make music videos, I have to think outside the box like in my music video in my signature), situations like Stalin’s and Hitler’s childhoods could have been avoided.

People being cruel to one another can really create monsters. There was a young Vietnamese college student at Harvard University; he was mistreated and mocked by Americans for being Asian. The boy went back to his own country and grew up. His name was Ho Chi Mihn. Hatred and unforgiveness are poisons people drink, hoping someone else will die.

My dad beat the fuck out of me when I was a kid. He even used a piece of garden hose one time. He would beat me and get into a frenzy so bad that my mother would have to take hits to get him to stop. I'm not a fucking lunatic that wants to kill millions of people. I'm glad those two pieces of shit are roasting in hell.

Well my hat's off to you. You're awesome!

But can you explain why 100% of the Japanese soldiers in WW2 were monsters?

Could it be....because they were all beaten by their own officers?

Because that's what Steven Speilberg and Tom Hanks said in the special features of the HBO series "The Pacific", explaining that's why the Japanese soldiers were so brutal.

Unless someone thinks that the Japanese were just naturally more brutal than other races/ethnic groups.
But I don't think so, I think it's because they were beaten, and that's the whole point of this thread--to get people to think about that cycle of violence.

And again, 100% of the Japanese soldiers were bad. 100%
Explain that one to me.

I must be missing something - I looked @ the link & didn't see anything pertaining.

Regardless, an all inclusive statement (ie) "100% of Japanese soldiers were bad" is fatally flawed and impossible to prove.
Thus it is false.

Okay, then how about 99% of the Japanese soldiers were bad?

I had a fascination with WW2. I'm against war itself (we should have never been in Iraq, we basically attacked a country unprovoked and got the world to hate us even more, but I digress), but WW2 was interesting because of it's massive scale. I mean you had freakin' Polynesian Maoris from New Zealand fighting against German paratroopers in Italy, for Christ's sake! Just mind boggling stuff....

But anyway, in everything I've read about WW2, I've never read a single kind word about the Japanese soldiers in WW2. It is all brutality, brutality, brutality, brutality, brutaliyt, brutality, brutality, brutality, brutality, brutality, brutality, brutality, and also.....brutality. And that is from all nationalities who crossed their path, including American POWs who told incredible stories about the abuse they faced. And let's not start about the 'comfort women' that the japanese forced into slavery. I could go on and on and on.

The japanese soldiers in WW2 were quite possibly the worst soldiers in the entire history of the whole damned world!

And again, it was because they were beaten by their own officers, which is the whole point of this thread--the cycle of violence. Remember, as I mentioned before, it was the History Channel that was showing a program of the similarities between Stalin's and Hitler's abused childhoods, which contributed to their brutality. I thought it was a fascinating study of the cycle of violence, and where I first learned about their childhood.

And also, saying 99%, hell, even 100% of the japanese soldiers were evil, isn't an exaggeration to me. Do you remember when Clint Eastwood's movie, 'Letters from Iwo Jima' came out to theaters, it had some criticism that he was trying to create some sympathy for the Japanese soldiers, and people were saying that there should be no sympathy for the japanese soldiers, because they got what they deserved in the end--death.

I get the point - the 100% thing just got to me.

BTW, I've been to Corregidor & Bataan, saw it first hand in the early 60's.
So many small white crosses along the road, . . . for miles and miles.
It was sad.
