If you want to be depressed, check out Cairo, IL some time.

Can't be worse than some of the stuff now in US & Canada. Can't hurt to try to concentrate on OUR Nations for a while & forget the rest of them!!
Just a Crazy thought?? :rolleyes:

Post by: tb3 on March 18 2011, 09:00:58 PM: well, grandma says that in ironic humor, but couple of you didn't get it :idea; :rolleyes; :D

but anyway, lets say comment like that was made by me. would i forgive them? yes. forget about it? definetly not, especially with world in the shape its in now.
also to point out i've been to japan a few times, and of all the places in the world i've been... from what i experianced... the people there as a whole are nicer than any other in the world. if you leave your wallet full of money in a hotel room... their gonna chase you down to get it back to you.
grandma? she has differant expericance. she lost family in the attack of pearl harbor. so i guess maybe if i where to try and put myself in her shoes... i can compare it to a stranger i don't know that sneaks up to my (father, mother, sister, brother) and murders one of them for no apperant reason other than to provoke. i could understand the hard to forgive part there. even if you where to "even up the odds" by the same retaliation.

and its also my opinion that nagisaki and hiroshima don't even up the score. they where costing us lives dearly. and we probably saved way more of their population by doing that vs boots on ground. and also remember that we rebuilt that country afterwards.
whats really really shameful (imo) is that japan is the second behind china in buying up our debt. if i where japan, i'd be demanding that the US starts paying back in big payments right now!
that'd be another good lesson to learn from grandma and grandpa. this is no lie, neither have never been given anything in their life, and never bought anything unless they had saved the cash up front to pay for it (including their house)
its kind of sad that I won't be able to say that about myself to the generations behind me

Post by: firebird_1252 on March 18 2011, 11:02:55 PM: its not that i dont like you. i do not care about you and could careless if you post here or not. even if it WAS the earthquake thread.. why say that? infact i spoke to someone today that was there in the early 50's. i asked how they were towards him. his exact words were "they knew they started the war and they knew thats what i took for it to end. they were nothing but nice to me as an american"

Post by: tb3 on March 19 2011, 10:52:55 AM: I'm probably just subconsciously rebelling against all those long hours studying my ass off for those ACT and SAT test to get accepted into SLU. I didn't take the cliff notes cheater course like so many others do.

Or, it could be because I figure it's just a laid-back muscle car forum, so I can just type fast and keep on blazin.

I'll work on it. :supz:

Post by: DCEPTCN on March 24 2011, 02:29:54 PM: If anyone else here has a subscription to Hot Rod magazine they might remember the piece done about a year ago titled The Ghosts Of Detroit. Really an amazing article. What I found most fascinating was that they said one can occasionally hear a random brick fall as the factories return to the earth.
