21. The Killing Fields : Genocide carried out by the U.S.
(1) Let it be known that the terrorists that executed the 9-11 attacks include not a single individual of Afghan nationality, Taliban or otherwise.

(2) Most of the terrorists hail from America's "ally", Saudi Arabia.

(3) Unable to vent its anger on Saudi Arabia, the U.S. decides to punish Afghanistan where Bin Laden is. Sure, Afghanistan is an ideal scapegoat. The country is a mess to begin with, thanks to your gentle-hearted Russian friends and the Afghanis themselves. You can do anything you want with such an impoverished country, there is no way they can defend themselves and that is precisely what the U.S. did.

(4) True to its cowardly military tradition, the U.S. forces resort mainly to air attacks, which gloriously succeed in hitting a Red Cross warehouse in Kabul, and that twice. Naturally along with the Red Cross warehouse, ordinary villages are indiscriminately bombed over and in the process many innocent citizens are slaughtered and mutilated, which the U.S. shamelessly calls "collateral damage." "Collateral damage", my ass! This is a deliberate and premeditated act of atrocities committed against innocent civilians, most of whom have not even heard of the World Trade Center.

(5) America's total disregard for the lives and human rights of the Afghan people are singularly despicable. It didn't take long for the U.S. to start dropping cluster bombs over Afghanistan. This is in sharp contrast with their false statements that "Only selected targets are bombed" and "Utmost care is taken to avoid civilian casualties". A crock full of shit is what comes out of Bush's mouth and it stinks something fierce.

(6) Now that Afghanistan is totally wrecked, the U.S. wants to make it look like it performed the great service of having liberated the country from the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Come on, nobody is naive enough to be sold on such absurd bullshit.

(7) So where is your man, Bin Laden? As of February 13, 2002, the U.S. is yet to capture this most-wanted man. George Stupid Bush, you raped the entire nation, wrecked it, killed and maimed so many innocent civilians, caused millions of people to become refugees. And you still don't know where Bin Laden is? Oh, yes, the latest report has it that the remains of some people you blasted out of recognition are to be examined for DNA comparison in the hope of establishing that one of them was indeed Bin Laden. Hey, does this mean that you don't know who you are killing out there? You just go ahead, kill somebody at random, and only then proceed to find out who you killed? Does this continue to be indiscriminate killings?

(8) George W. Bush and People of the U.S., have the decency to apologize to the people of Afghanistan for the atrocities you committed and start pouring in at least as much money as you spent on the bombs over their land to make up for your heinous crimes. You owe at least that much to them. And, hey, don't come here asking for rescue funds to "rebuild Afghanistan". You did it, you pay for it. After all you didn't fight "for" Afghanistan. You just killed so many Afghanis just to spite them. With so much of their blood on your hands, are you happy now? Does it make you feel good? Do you think you finally got even by killing so many innocent children, women and old men? Would the 9-11 victims have appreciated and approved of what you did to the equally innocent and unsuspecting Afghan victims?

20. Torture exercised by US Military and Government Personnel
During the months that followed the 9-11 Terrorist Attacks, at least 6,000 people with Middle-Eastern/Pakistani/Afghan background are reported to have been kidnapped by the U.S. government agents off the streets of the United States. They are penned up in isolation, no legal counsel is granted them, and they are not even allowed to contact their families. They are detained illegally by the U.S. government. According to the Bush Administration, they do not deserve to be treated humanely because they are not "American citizens". By the same token, a huge number of former Al Qaeda and Taliban prisoners from Afghanistan are held in pens in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Those prisoners are referred to as "unlawful combatants" and not "prisoners of war", therefore not entitled to the protections guaranteed by the Geneva Conventions. Wait a second, was it not war that George W. Bush declared? Then how could those people be "not prisoners of war"? "Unlawful combatants"? Give me a fucking break here. When you fight against foreign invaders that start dropping bombs on your country, there's nothing "unlawful" about the defensive measures that you take. At any rate, those prisoners held on the U.S. base in Cuba who are conveniently secluded even from journalists are routinely "interrogated" just as those kidnapped foreign nationals are "interrogated". Such "interrogation" clearly constitutes torture. The Nazi Regime would have wholeheartedly approved of what George W. Bush is up to. Under the Bush Administration, the principle of human rights is applicable only to pale-skinned "American citizens" . Oh, well, I knew Bush was stupid but he's proven himself to be far worse than just plain stupid.
19. A Nation of Assassins : Israel
There is a country that unabashedly dispatches assassins to snuff out whoever opposes its oppression. Assassinations are methodically carried out by its armed forces and approved of by the leaders. They call themselves the Nation of Israel. Torture has been readily employed as a favored instrument to extract information and children, whether defiant or crouched, are shot at and butchered. The state is founded on absurd racism. "Pure Jewish blood lines", eh? After roaming two thousand years all over the world? You've got to be kidding! Their vision sounds hauntingly similar to what Adolf Hitler preached; "the Aryan Nation", "pure race" and all that nonsense. There is something inherently wrong with any grouping of people who consider themselves "chosen" or/and "pure".
18. Well said, Emperor!
In an interview given on his birthday on December 18th, 2001, Emperor Akihito of Japan stated, "I, on my part, feel a certain kinship with Korea, given the fact that it is recorded in the Shoku Nihongi (Chronicles of Japan, compiled in 797), that the mother of Emperor Kanmu (reign 781〜806) was of the line of King Muryong (reign 501〜523) of the Kingdom of Paekche (Korea)." That the emperor himself forthrightly referred to this little-publicized and conventionally swept-under-the-carpet imperial lineage is noteworthy. His candidness in this delicate matter is the epitome of what can be gracefully accomplished by means of Imperial Diplomacy. I commend him for his courage.
17. George W. Bush, do not be so stupid as to propose wanton killing of noncombatant civilians.And Billy Graham, you are a whore to endorse his folly.
The terrorists who murdered thousands of innocent people in the attacks on the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York and elsewhere on the 11th of September 2001 need to be punished severely or even wiped out altogether.

And yet the U.S. should refrain from killing unarmed civilians in hasty retaliation. The U.S. should seek to apprehend and bring to justice only those who are directly responsible for the horrendous crime committed against the victims. If the U.S. should end up taking wanton vengeance on unarmed civilians, then America would be reduced to the level of the cowardly terrorists themselves.

A poor villager in some obscure developing country does not deserve to be butchered for the crime he has not committed any more than a businessman working in the World Trade Center did.

There is no justification in claiming that "those who harbor the perpetrators are just as guilty." Did the U.S. government raid any American town on account of Timothy McVeigh, convicted of bombing the Oklahoma City federal building, a terrorist attack that left 168 people dead? Surely McVeigh was born, raised and lived somewhere in the U.S. Were any of his fellow citizens put to death for the serious crime of having happened to share the same locale with McVeigh?Is the U.S. government going to raid Florida and Germany because they "harbored" the terrorists? Think about it. Doesn't this "let's go get them" war-chant smack of racism?

George W. Bush, do not be so stupid as to think that you can turn this tragedy into your popularity-boost campaign. And Billy Graham, do you really believe that Jesus Christ would have endorsed a slaughter of unarmed and innocent civilians carried out by the armed forces whether in retaliation or in aggression? Billy Graham, you are a whore.

16. Vets should be recruited to castrate rapists
rapistrapistrapist

True to its cowardly military tradition, US servicemen in Okinawa continue to rape Okinawan girls. A twelve-year old girl was gang-raped by three US servicemen in 1995. The girl was kidnapped, beaten, brutally raped, and then abandoned.

The culprits are Navy Seaman Marcus Gill, 23, of Woodville, Texas, Marine Pfc. Rodrico Harp, 23, of Griffin, Georgia, and Marine Pfc. Kendrick Ledet, 20, of Waycross, Georgia. Gang-banging a twelve-year old girl is atrocious no matter where it happens and no matter who does it.

And yet in the face of this heinous crime, the civil rights groups and lawyers representing the families of the three servicemen said that they were treated differently because they are African-Americans. Give us a break! Whether you are black, white, red or yellow, you don't gang-bang a child, you hear!

The most recent rape in Okinawa committed by U.S. Air Force Sergeant Timothy Woodland took place on the 29th of June, 2001. Unreasonably protected by the provisions of the Status of Forces Agreement, US servicemen suspected of criminal acts cannot be directly arrested by the local Japanese authorities.

The local population is left alone unprotected, neglected and abandoned both by the Japanese and US authorities. The most immediate and efficient means that the Okinawans should resort to would be vigilantism. Those US servicemen that continue to rape the local girls need to be taught a lesson that will not be easily forgotten. I propose that we make a citizen's arrest when a rapist is caught with his pants down or positively identified. Instead of handing him over to the either authorities, which cannot be trusted to bring him to justice, we will give him what he deserves. For this, we need a group of veterinarians. Any volunteers?

15. Ainu
It is outrageous that the government of Japan should maintain that there had been no indigenous population prior to "Japanese" in Hokkaido. Who do they think they are fooling ?
14. Bureaucracy in Japan
Japanese bureaucrats are corrupt. They cling dearly to vested rights and assume no responsibilities. They found one useless organization after another whose only purpose is to suck blood out of the private sector, which is always in fear of and bugged by interferences by the bureaucrats. This practice is worse than one individual asking for a bribe, for it's done systematically on a grand scale. Japanese bureaucrats don't know the word "public servants". They are parasites.
13. France and her Nuclear Bomb Experiments
If such experiments are as safe as the French claim, they are welcome to pop one of them over their famous Eiffel Tower. Go ahead and pop one. Nobody's stopping you.
12. Hawaii
Hawaii belongs to the native Hawaiians. The United States of America stole the islands by deceiving the natives and raped their culture. The US has no right to be there.
11. Hispanics
For anybody to say that there are so many or too many Hispanics, legal or illegal, in California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas is absurd. The land belongs to them. They are entitled to come and go wherever they choose to travel and live. It's their land. That their ancestors were native Americans should guarantee it. It's the descendants of poor peasants from Europe, England, Ireland and other places who have no right to be there. By the way, the word "Hispanic" is a misleading one. They have very little to do with Spain except that they speak Spanish and small part of their genetic makeup can be remotely traced to Spaniards (and Arabs, Africans, and Chinese). "Spanish-speaking Native Americans of Mixed Lineage" will be a more accurate term to refer to them.
10. Imperial Household of Japan and its counterpart in England
No matter what the Imperial Household Agency claims, there is no relationship between Japanese Imperial Family and English Royal Family. The fact that there's no marital relationship between the two houses suffices to prove the point. On the other hand, our imperial family is related, by marriage, to imperial/royal families of Manchuria and Korea. Now this is not very much advertised, and I wonder why ?
9. Japanese / Koreans
We, Japanese, are a people that belong to the family of Koreans. Other than the Peninsula of Korea, where else could we have come from ? Italy ? Most likely our ancestors were one of the weakest Korean tribes that was driven out of the Peninsula. Why do some of us look a bit different from Koreans ? Simple. Our ancestors mixed with Ainu people who then were not restricted to Hokkaido. Why do Koreans and Japanese still despise each other ? It's brotherly rivalry.
8. Jewish People
You would think with such tragic experience as the Holocaust, the Jews would be one of the most compassionate peoples in the world. What they do to the people of Palestine,however, indicates otherwise. The Jewish people seem to have learned a lesson or two from the Germans only too well.
7. Mounted Ancestors ?
The popular belief that the ancestors of Japanese were some "Brave Tribe on Horseback" is a fantasy. Who could be more unfamilar with horses than we are ? And when it comes to horseback riding, we do rather poorly for the proud descendants of such people.
6. NHK: Japan Boadcasting Association
A useless entity.It looks up to BBC but is more like a broadcasting outfit sponsored by the government of North Korea. It insists on collecting fees from every household for viewing their programs, which are not worth viewing at all.
5. Okinawa
Okinawa belongs to Okinawans, and not to Japan. They deserve independence, if to do so is economically feasible at all. Japanese have never treated Okinawans fairly.
4. Rakugo
Rakugo has become a dead art form thanks to generations of dull-witted Rakugoka(comic storytellers). The stories they narrate are supposed to be hilariously funny but they are not. Now Rakugo has become a collection of old stories which are not even entertaining. Compared to what U.S. standup comedians can do, Rakugoka fail miserably.
3. Sanka
"Misumi Kan" used to write about Sanka, who were migratory people that lived in the mountains of Japan up until the 1940's or so. Where are they now ?Itsuki Hiroyuki wrote a pretty pathetic novel about Sanka.
2. TV/Radio Stations in Japan : Helpless Provincialism
When a big earthquake hit Kobe and Awaji-shima, some radio stations offered to broadcast in English so as to provide "foreigners" with information. Stupid asses ! They seem not to have realized that the largest foreign population directly hit by the earthquake was Koreans.
1. Vietnam War

It was satisfying to witness how miserably the U.S. was defeated by the Vietnamese. I mourn the deaths of those Vietnamese people who were massacred by American soldiers. May the cowardly American soldiers who participated in butchering defenseless and unarmed women and children of Vietnam rot in Hell. The My Lai Massacre will be long remembered. Again the US military proved itself exceptionally adept at killing unarmed noncombatant civilians.What a fine military tradition ! The land of the brave, my ass!
