My own "stereotype" opinions,
Japan- was a part in WWI and II and second strongest economy in the world.
Japanese- weird, cute, smart, and a bit evil.

Hardi, things in life are not just plain black and white; there is always a mixture of all colors. So, the question of are Japanese really evil is similiar to questions of are Asians smart in Math, are Whites superior, or are Hispanics lazy???? I think it's a stereotype to have a certain perspestive of people of different races.

Your reply is not acceptable, I will heard that japanese are evil. :lol:

Of course i know that things aren't only black and white. For me are japanese a little mysterious. I don't know them.. that's all.

btw. For those peoples, who don't have any humor: when I sayed that I will heard that japanese are evil, then it was a joke.

Well, in a sense the Japanese military was the most evil of all in WWII for their barbaric, inhumane, beastly, cruel ways of killing other Asians, which has brought to a point that those victims cannot forgive or forget their bloodthirsty execution. My grandfather and great-uncle were suffering by the Japanese military for an example.
My grandfather got tortured every day and night. They poured soap liquid in him or made my grandpa drank all kinda acidic liquid. Later in his life he got an ulcer in his stomach that led to a cancer. A week before he died, he couldn't eat anything or drink anything; he was hooked with the transfusion to bring nutrients in him. It was painful to see him losing weight day by day.
My great-uncle got turtured when Japan got into Vietnam after they kicked the French army out of the country. They captured French soldiers, tortured them to death or executed them. He was rescued when they were about to chop his head off. He died last year because of old age, but I remember whenever we had a conversation about the past, he would tell me how scared he was when he was in that moment. After that rescue, he'd had nightmares for years that his head got chopped off by the Japanese soldiers.
My grandpa and great-uncle could talk about their past with the Japanese army with little pain, but I don't think other Asian victims could, especially women. They never forgive the Japanese. I don't blame them though since that's their choice to the way which is the best to heal the pain. Both my grandpa and great-uncle talked about the Japanese, but they asked us not to hate Japanese people in overall since it was the war and in the war they believed you have to have losers and winners. If you lose, you've lost your life, dignity and the winners would torture you. I don't believe in that sense since being in a war is not an explanation nor an excuse for one human to torture another. But I don't hate all Japanese people as like my grandpa and great-uncle expected from us. It's because not all Japanese people tortured them in the past. I only hate those who tortured my grandpa and great-uncle. Karma is what I believe in; therefore, they would get what they've done and suffering with remorse will be the best punishment.

Hi DS.
Are you from Japan ??Where do you live in Japan??
I really want to know some informations about Japan.
Can I ask you question??
Public Health in Japan is a good career, I mean everyone understand about public health clearly. You know, I'm student in Medical University, my department is Public Health, and people always ask me "What 'll you do after graduating?"
It makes me upset. I think this is an important mission, even my mother doesn't believe that I'll have a good job.
My god.
Can you share this idea with me??
Thanks.

I also know that is war, I should not hate all the japanese, But I will never like a Japanese, or welcome anyone of them to China. I reject buying any good made by Japan. No matter what reasons, i believe being cruel is a part of their character. so I was , am, will not make friend with any japanese.

I'm sorry but I think you're in denial. You said yourself that you should not hate them all because you know it's wrong to hate all Japanese, but you can't help yourself to hate them or have hatred for most of them. If you did not have that hatred, you wouldn't say cruel is a part of their character. It's as prejudiced, judgmental and stereotype as spreading-land blood instinct is a part of Chinese people's characters or being romantic is a part of French people's characters. Trust me, not all Chinese like wars and some French guys are just plain unromantic. :roll:
