Me too! Recently, I have been pretty interested in Japanese stuff, especially music and the place itself seems to amazing. I want to visit Japan one day, but I hear it's expensive =T

Yeah I don't understand all the "Koreans-hating-Japan" stuff -_-

It's kind of similar to the Jews not being fond of German Holocaust deniers. Only Germany as a state has admitted and attempted to atone for the Holocaust while Japan continues to attempt to deny and minimise what they did to China and Korea. Whereas in Germany it's a crime to in any way try to diminish the significance of their national crime in Japan it's state policy. That pisses people off.

Basically look up Unit 731 on wikipedia. It puts the work of Dr Mengele to shame.

They did live dissections of civilians and soldiers and the worst part is that their scientists were all let off the hook after the war ended, unlike many of the Germans. Also unlike the Germans, their data (which is what got them the deal) was completely useless because they didn't know how to conduct science so they were basically just torturing people. They all should've been fried.

EDIT: Am I missing my infested terran? :o

Living here in Korea for a bit, the whole Korea-Japan thing has struck me as most closely a parallel to Ireland-England, complete with Dok-do as a substitute for Northern Ireland. With a side of inhumane torture the English never really got around to, and no potato famine.

Anyway, Happy Independence Day Korea!

definitely. I'm not even korean, I'm D+ on iCCup(i don't devote all my time to starcraft), and I know nothing about history, but I know the meaning of 8/15.

15th of August is the day the Japanese emperor Hirohito broadcasted his speech of Japan`s unconditional surrender to the Allies. Since that preety much ensured Korea`s independence from Japan after 35 years of annexation, it is celebrated in Korea as the day of independence and is thus a national holiday.

Anyway, congratulations to all Koreans on their holiday and I hope they can overcome their differences with the Japanese.

It is my belief that Japan is to blame for modern tensions. Germany showed all of us you can commit crimes against humanity with a certain class and maturity. When caught out gassing millions of innocent civilians you have to own up, admit fault and promise never to do it again. Then everyone says it's cool and not to worry about it and all is forgiven. Japan is like a child caught red handed doing something wrong who lies about it, despite the fact that everyone, including them, know they're guilty. All they need to do is go "yeah, we tortured thousands of innocent civilians to death just to see what'd happen, we invaded China for land, we organised systematic rape and murder against a civilian population just because we could and our treatment of POWs was in breach of every convention of international law, the rules of war, every religion and even basic humanity". Then everyone involved can go "it's cool, just don't do it again" and we can all move on.

But modern Germany doesn't annoy France or Poland because by admitting and apologising for their crimes against humanity they drew a line under the event and moved on. Whereas Japan doesn't admit fault for atrocities on a similar level to the Holocaust and still honours Class A war criminals. And this isn't just winners history, Japan was unequivocably in the wrong in this. For example, to learn more about treating victims of burns they deliberately set fire to Chinese civilians and then cut them open while still alive (after putting them out) to examine the damage. The knowledge that Japan refuses to apologise for shit like that pisses me off, it'd piss me off way more if I were Chinese or Korean.
