DT, I take your point. But all those nations would probably like Japanese people too if Japanese people hadn't screwed it up by invading, colonising, brutalising an raping them... talk about sending negative signals.

and drake:
but problem_child...
if you're working from preconceptions which are wrong, then your conclusions are bound to be wrong.
equating muslims with neo-nazism is generalizing the behavior of a group onto an entire religion. the religion has been hijacked by demagogues who gain media attention--partly because they are so foreign to america, thereby exotic and new, and because they preach a message of hate. in actuality, they are more akin to phelps or robertson than your regular run-on-the-mill christian.
and as for everybody loving the japanese... you've obviously never been to asia or talked to anybody of asian ancestry in regards to world war 2 and before. and you seem to miss out on all the protests that seem to go on when koizumi visits a certain temple, even though every protest is mentioned on cnn.
*make that east asian ancestry. they never got as far as south asia.Last edited by Q Classic; October 17, 2003, 09:58.B♭3Comment

It's all very admirable and scientific to try and keep things objective, but this is real life, and not a collection of figures on a blackboard. You are going to be prejudiced against certain people for certain reasons or you're not human. I would like to think that my hatred of neo-nazis based on their ill-considered system of beliefs (something they have actively chosen)is somehow worth more than their hatred of ethnic minorities based on the colour of their skin (something over which they have no choice).Originally posted by problem_child
I don't think any of the four groups are better then anything, I mean there is no basis described in those groups to hang any kind of betterness on, that's the kind of irrational attitude the neozies take. But I think I understand what you're trying to say.
If white thugs want to fight black thugs, and both are motivated by their hatred of the others' race then I'm fine with that, and am sure that society would be a far better place if fewer people went around carrying their standards of racial hatred. Sure, kill yourselves. I hate them because of their hatred of different skin colours, so on one level I am as bad as they are, but at least I'd be able to explain and defend my position to a neutral (say an alien or whatever). Just because one person of a different racial group took a job that you went for does not give you licence to hate this entire group.Comment

Hey, for me- the Old Country is fifty pecent muslim, I know about muslims and what they beleive, and I know about Christianity and what that's about too. Both groups are most passionate about what they despise... that tends to be other people who don't subsribe to their belief systems.Originally posted by Ramo

You didn't answer the question. And so you also believe Christians have a lot in common with neo-Nazis?"Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.

Really though, the Japanese don't have it that bad. Only about a fifth of the world's population despises them; it's better than being an American, a Paki or a Turk.KH FOR OWNER!
