was that a floating baby...im about to cry

I see dead people...

looked like it tattle...war sux....shows how scared people really are and how much they believe in what peers tell them about the "Great Enemy"

what's even more fucked up is the japanese government continues to deny this, and they keep the population oblivious by approving only school textbooks which gloss over or completely omit any japanese wartime wrongdoing. a strong portion of those in the goverment at the moment are even calling to revise textbooks and national policy further to portray themselves in an even more positive light. have you heard about the US government's bill to call on tokyo to call on japan to fess up about the 'comfort women'? it's seriously messed up, these assholes put their fingers in their ears and say whatever makes them feel better without ever doing any actual investigation into facts.

aaaah you no talk funny bout small man with eyes closed

Tattle... made me cry, too.

@ Cov.... stfu.... What's your problem lately?

I'm confused so mudering your baby is ok if you claim the government said so. First rap music NOW the government!!!

WWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHAAAAAT?

DELETED

Very sad.

@ Cov.... You're not like my Covvy anymore. I don't ever remember you making racist remarks before. Why join the haters? You're way more intelliget than that.

aah come on Cat just a little imitation of a foreign accent... jeez never meant anything harsh or offensive. If I managed to do it in an American accent would that be racist. Come on theres a huge diff between rascist remarks and what I said. feeds kitty big Rock cod to nibble on and scratches behind her ear

@ Cov.... Umkay. Kitty went off the deep end for a minute. I guess I'm too sensitive. Kitty doesn't want fish. Kitty wants a cookie. *purrs* *nuzzles Covvy's face* Still love me?

aah like I always have kitty takes fish away and gives kitty huge biscuit

@sato... i totally agree with you, and japan isn't the only country that does this either

*smooches* @ Covvy.

sick!

@ SATO -- sounds a lot like what we do

That was sad...
I feel sorry for the people who actually witnessed this...like dude said...you can't get it out of your head. That would suck to have disturbing images like that stuck in your head. How could you deal with it?

That Japanese propaganda made citizens believe they were lemmings.

Thats pretty mind blowing.....

But not as mind blowing as chimpychomy's avator.

As Bruce Springsteen once said, "Blind faith in anything will get you killed."

If you really want something to give you a feeling for the Japanese mindset during WW II, check out this link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w iki/Rape_of_nanking

WARNING: The page itself is not terribly gory but the account of what happened is. I'm not trying to sensationalize this material to get people to look at it -- it is very disturbing and some might be better served by not checking it out.

My purpose in posting the link is to further the understanding of the Japanese mindset during WW II, partially illustrated by this clip from the History Channel.

leave it to a raccoon with huge nuts to make me laugh at such a sad video! chimpy, i hate you dude!
@ cat ...umm, i see youve been passing 'smooches' around like if they were free for the askin!! arent you forgetting someone?

@Chimpy Chompy

crazy dude

It's the same thing with countries like North Koreans and fascist muslims of today. They're fed so many lies by their government about America they're willing to go to the extreme. Where some of you Canadians get the hate from, who knows.

Awwwww..... *big smooches* for Cuca & Gil69. *hugs* too.

This video actually, I'm pretty sure, was taken on the island of Saipan in the mid-pacific where I lived for a few years. It's been a Commonwealth of the U.S. since WWII and they have memorials at the top of two cliffs, named Banzai and Suicide. It's an amazing view from the top and even more amazing that so many jumped from there fearing what they thought, or were told, American soldiers would do to them and their families. Oh, and if you scuba I DEFINITELY recommend going to Saipan and diving the Grotto. It'll rock your socks.

Thanx GC, I needed that today

thats crazy and sad but dont forget what the japs did to australians and the u.s

@ inkriot.... The Japanese paid for it big time and surrendered remember?

@ Gil69..... Anytime, sweetheart. Just ask.

@ Around420.... Welcome and thanks for the info.

Cove kissing ass, I like it. this is old footage, poor little cry babies never seen this before. Never seen the clips where we are taking no prisoners? Ooh, we so grew up in a civilized way, ooh, poor, poor babies. Nobody in this world wants to hurt you. Not your civilized little perfect lives. Take me Nancy Pelosi, show me the way.

ned.... Don't be jealous.Cov and I have been buddies October last year .... long before you ever showed your miserable, drunken ass here, so stfu and myob.

@green-cat... yes, but it took massive fire bombing and not one but 2 atomic bombs to make them surrender. and the japs have never apologized or compensated in any meaningfull way to the allies or POW's
that thay used for slave labor in their war industries, (mitsubishi/toyota/to name just a few). and don't over-look the poor slobs (POW's & civilians)used for medical(?) experiments. read a few books or on-line about japanese atrocities as mentioned ^. as for me, i go out of my way not to buy anything that the japanese produce if i can help it.

@ NUIYZ.... I realize what it took to end that war. I've read plenty on WW2 and am fully aware of the atrocities by the Japanese and the Germans. I'm proud to tell you that my grandfather fought in that war as a gunner. I just think it's a waste of energy to violently hate a country for something that happened generations ago. By no means am I excusing them. If anything, I pity them because they have to live with the shame of what they did. jmo.

NUIYZ brings up some good points. I don't think we're quite "all square" yet with Japan. I'm not saying we should still hate them, that would be silly, but we should at least be able to remember what they did without having to justify anything about it.

DELETED

@gwish who's 'we'?

@nuiyz&human i'm with you guys, japan should continue to be denied a permanent voice in any world forum as long is it continues to deny/whitewash facts from history. as long as school textbooks here continue to say that japan was forced into war, that manchuria was an 'incident', that japan was in manchuria because 'it had interests there', that it wanted to surrender before the nukes but was ignored, that it did not use chemical or biological weapons in the war, and while convicted war criminals continue to be enshrined as heroes, theworld will not be square with japan and rightly so. it should be forced to accept the true facts of history and forced to teach its children as such to ensure no further ignorant generations are raised.

I think WWTDD posted a Bugs Bunny cartooon that was made back in the 40s...

It is funny, but a wee bit on the racist side... (Then again, we were at war with them at the time...)

no hate, but no pity either. point being, there is no "living with the shame of what they did". and how long (generations) before we pity radical muslims for 9-11? just sayin.

Cov, your woman just set me straight, Lets all have cookies and biscuits, perhaps some fish, and try not to remember it. You grovel well. I thought everything on this site was everybodies bussiness. GC, is your last name Lewinsky, Feinstein, Pelosi, Boxster ? MS? I wonder how GC would do in my world? I get up everyday and kick the worlds ass, GC, you get up everyday and kick Covs ass, well done.

hey ned, why dont you go to the back of your trailer where you keep your tiny portable fridge and pour your self a nice tall glass of STFU. Your a condescending, self inflated , lonely, little fuck. As far as GC kicking my ass, well I never saw any of that, but I can promise you this if GC or myself left this site only you would be happy unlike if you left NT the entire posting community would be happy so why don`t you do all of us a favour and fuck off!

That's some seriously fucked up shit. Propaganda man, what the hell.

in the west you only heard about how many chinese the japanese killed. but in reality millions of innocent japanese were killed by the chinese, especially in northern china. That japan invaded china only in self defense, but of course since the americans won the war, no body is going to think we japanese are actually the victims now.

shadowlaw : Thats fucked shit. Dam, if those Japanese thought U.S army was gonna use them as Slavery, or rape,torture or kill them , why wud they do that to an infant? If the Jap' s couldnt understand English a good solution at ''that'' time is to have a translater that speak both launguage's.

...what a bunch or fucktards

I come from China .

why throw ur fuking kids of a cliff?!that gos to show how fuked that shit was!fuk america!there was no need for half the shit thay did ova der! {UK}

Idiot watch the clip, they didn't want their children to be tortured which is what they were made to believe

Man...you need to either listen to the clip again..or read a history book.
-
The Japanese were brainwashed by their military and their Emperor Hirohito to believe that when and if the American forces landed in Japan or other Japanese held territories....the American's would rape and torture their women and children.
-
They believed this propaganda so devoutly that they threw THEMSELVES off the cliffs to escaped capture.
-
And I am not sure if the:

terrible times...but on the happier side, the yen is very powerful....So who won the war?

So was the Deutsche mark.

for what japs did in Nanking they should killed all they're children and then commit suicide. 2 bombs weren't enough.

Told to commit suicide, survivors now face elimination from history
Choho Zukeran was a schoolboy, mobilised to dig beachfront trenches, when US soldiers landed on his native Okinawa, sparking one of the bloodiest battles of the second world war. Over the next few weeks, some 200,000 Japanese and Americans would die, including more than a quarter of Okinawa's civilian population. Most died in the invasion, others killed themselves - on the orders of the army that was supposed to be protecting them.
"The army had given us two grenades each. They told us to hurl the first one at the enemy and to use the second one to kill ourselves," Mr Zukeran told the Guardian from his home in Okinawa, a subtropical island 1,000 miles south-west of Tokyo. Whole families and communities committed suicide together.
Yet if the government in Tokyo gets its way, Japanese children may never learn how hundreds of Okinawa residents, under direct or indirect pressure from the military, took their own lives.
"It is an undeniable fact that mass suicides could not have occurred without the involvement of the Japanese army," the Okinawa city assembly said.
In the weeks after the invasion, Mr Zukeran's family walked from village to village to escape the Americans who, they had been told, would rape and kill them amid a "typhoon of steel".
Eyewitnesses claim entire families committed suicide together on the orders of fanatical Japanese soldiers rather than allow them to surrender and betray sensitive information about troop movements. Some 700 committed mass suicide in the Kerama islets off Okinawa.

The way the mothers toss their babies off the cliffs was horrible!

i don't understand why that mother throws her baby down first.. i mean.. how could she? the last thing they see is their baby falling off the cliff.. why not go together..
ethaijfdnl

was it really?

Suicides in Japan have always been the rage - kami-kaze and hari-kari to name two styles! Well, it's a way of regulating populations, considering that Japan is only very small and very crowded!
