I was particularly refering to the Japanese and the obsession that some westerners have with adopting their etiquette and avoiding upsetting them. I'm tired of people fawning over them and hearing how to please them. As a nation I don't think they should be so quickley forgiven for their widespread War Crimes. I knew some of the survivors and won't easily forgive. Go google or search wikipedia for 'Unit 731' if you want to see what I'm talking.  about. It shouldn't be forgotten. I can do without their tourism patronage. . nuff ced");
