I appreciate that many died to save us from GERMANY.

Many lives were lost during the war----------

Whoah... easy on the exclamation marks.

Again.. the tongue poking out means I wasn't being serious.

Well the point I was making was valid I suppose. The English really f*cked over the Scots before they were the UK and they f*cked over Africa and India together.

And where do you think nations get the money from to provide health care etc? It's the people. So if someone wants to betray their country for whatever reason that's their business. Whether I'm against that person depends on the particulars.

Maybe that will make you feel big.

for goodness sake-- I don't feel BIG at all.



CHERNOBYL demonstrated the danger of NUCLEAR fall out.

I had to spend hours training with the civil defence in case such bombs would be dropped here in UK. NOne of that training would have prevented the sheer devastation caused by these terrible bombs. I would not wish that on anyone.


the thing is that nations have developed these bombs as a preventative against wars.


It is when some Nation does decide to press the button that could eliminate mankind from the earth.


Do you agree that Japan should have started war when they attacked Pearl Harbour. should America have taken that lying down.

should all those forced to build the BURMA RAILWAYS have just been forgotten if they survived. allow Japan to carry on for ever fighting and using its own men and other nations for its deadly purpose.




The Japanese were extremely cruel--

By the way my country was founded over 1000 years ago, and still exist in the same place (not as big as it used to be, and it isn't a kingdom anymore but still...) and it isn't the only one...

Eh? I respect individuals...

I don't respect nations. You can be from Latvia or whereever and I'll respect you if I like you. But don't expect me to care about your "country".

What country are you from?

Sorry Betrayal is Betrayal. I've paid my taxes for many years as have most of us here. Our govt is UP the Creek Now-- but I would never betray my own country or its people

Well if you'd truly respect individuals you respected their origins too. Perhaps you don't have any, you wouldn't be the only one, but thinking that you can respect a person with spitting on his country is just stupid--sorry for that, but I don't have a better word for that.

Why are you curious about my country? To make fun of that?

Disrespecting and not giving a f*ck are two different things. The latter is my attitude.

No. I'm more curious as to what nation you could be from that existed 1000 years ago. But I suppose it doesn't matter as you said yourself that it wasn't a kingdom anymore and is smaller than it was which was part of my point.

Never?

Then you are no different than the Germans and Japanese of your time.

You still don't understand...in this case not giving a f*ck is exactly the same as disrespecting...
I'll give you my home's name when you can provide something which makes me respect (and trust) you enough. Though I think you aren't interested enough for that...

So a country cease to exist whenever it's size or the political form in it changes???????????

After all that's been said, bantered and argued back and forth in this thread I would like to point out, for the sake of the kid who posted this, and its no doubt a young kid...he never said to go to war for manga or anime he said if Japan were attacked would you enlist in their arms. Now he then goes on to say to fight FOR THE NATION who gave us manga and anime, not fight for or have a war based on manga or anime. And besides, what are adults doing taking such stands against the words of what seems to be a child? You have all twisted his words, however childish they are.

In what case? The thing I said to evanny? It was mostly said in jest.

Heck! The claim to fame that evanny gives is that both Germany and Russia passed through it! How can you not find that funny?

Why the f*ck do you care so much? My country is New Zealand. I don't care if you can make fun of it. Heck we make fun of it ourselves and the Australians LOVE to make fun of it. It's not something you should take personally unless that was the intent of it.
