HA Ha don't know the last time I was called M'aam if ever, but its nice.

I don't mind being called DUDE thats what my son calls his mates.

I am babs or barbara-- they used to sing that song to me Bar bar bar bar baranne remember that one. Hate the name but then whats in a name.

actualluy that reminds me my japanese friend told me that the Emperor was held very much in Awe and they were not allowed to say his name.

I'm a bit old in the tooth but hey not too old to learn.

PS dogsbody does a bit of everything don't they-- so thats me to a tee. also servant to my own dogs-- I bred dogs for over forty years-- some of mine were also exported to AMERICA and shown there.

I do not know what the modern japanese generation think or feel about ww2 my point is that the truth should not be hidden from them as happens so often in every country.

I do not know what information is given in japanese language to educate them.

I honestly think that now with the web and global television we will be learning a lot more about ourselves and our country's involvement in fighting.

in the bible it mentions about the sins of the fathers being inherited by later generations-- perhaps that is true.

But really what I feel is: knowledge is POWER and ignorance will cause misunderstanding. Its really about trying to PREVENT WaR: that I am on about.

I guess that withour wars and plagues we soon would be vastly over populated---------------------

We do know that many civilians suffered-- as well as members of the armed forces.

It is still happening isn't it.
