Whatever, dude. It's called history, do some research. I don't have the time or patience to post more links with PROOF or argue that this was the case. If you want to believe that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor because of some ambition to conquor America, go right ahead.....as wrong as it is, it's your world. Just remember what the Japenese navy admiral said on the bridge of his ship......"We may have just awoken a sleeping giant". Doesn't sound like a nation that was hellbent on a future war because it wanted to dominate, does it?
Not really, Brutus. It's called HISTORY, just not "history according to Brutus". You claim that history is something you "specialize" in or that you've done "indepth research" on. Go back and review your notes on pre WWII Japan.....and why they attcked Pearl Harbor. Seriously, don't take my word for it.....Japan will even admit to it, but look for yourself. |

Bee, the Japanese were looking to go to war with America. They were itching to get in and had a choice between Russia and America. Russia at the time was getting pounded by Germany and all the top Japanese military officals, especially the navy, wanted a war with America to test out their new weapons. Oil had a big influence in this as well. |

i am sick of hearing that Quote, and all it says is that he doubted japans ability to win the war, nothing else. thats a mistake historians are taught not to make by the way, don't try and get too much info from too little evidence. and Japan did NOT need to attack America in order to survive, they had already conquered Indonesia, which is currently an OPEC nation, so while it was a problem that america put sanctions on Japan is did not mean they had to go to war with america, it was an excuse. and even if it was neccesary, its shown that it was just an excuse by japans actions, you don't try to get someone to lower sanctions by trying to destroy their entire pacific fleet. Japan's army didn't listen to the Government, they did whatever they wanted and they wanted to invade America, even though the government didn't want to conquer america, the army would have tried it anyway |

If you're so "sick" of hearing this quote, go carry on a pissing contest with someone who you can convince of your horseshit. I'm sick of carrying on a debate with someone who obviously doesn't know history. Also, as far as that quote goes, it's called HISTORY. But, since it doesn't coincide with YOUR version of history, you piss and moan about it. And further more, don't tell me about what a historian does or doesn't do. Maybe you should do something that a historian does, you know, learn history.
No matter how much you try and deny the fact, you aren't able to re-write history to fit your delusional bullshit agenda. Get over it.....it's the way it happened. Don't read up on it or anything, just keep adding your false input to the mix.
You amuse me.......I was wrong about you. Here, I thought I was debating someone who knew a thing or two about history, especially the WWII era. I was wrong. And you keep proving it.
Again, you know nothing. To be honest, I'm done with you. When you go and learn something, come back and we'll continue. I want you to have at least a little credibility left here....
Pierce, I never once they weren't looking to go to war with America. It was just out of necessity, not out of conquest. With a huge oil embargo on them, and no chance for diplomacy, what other choice could they have made? It was a do or die situitation. |

Come on Bee, I disagree with a lot of what Brutus has said, but there's no need to start this slanging match. |

I was brutal. And to Brutus, my apologies. I guess we just have to agree to disagree. You're right Bohemian, no need to start a flame war here. |

huh...I thought the mongolians had the largest empire the world had ever seen back on topic: To create the perfect country you'd have to elimate virtually all forms of non-educational entertainment (for example RPG games and illegal drugs), and then you can brainwash everyone, creating complete and utter trust in you without question, THEN you can have a fighting force that can conquer the entire world. It would help to move your followers into all sections of your opponent's society, of course, infiltration is often the best way to destroy another's country. |

See, this brings up the question once again - would the perfect country REALLY be the one with Hitler-wet-dream-esque levels of compliance among its populace, mass brainwashing and the elimination of the weak? Or would it simply be one where, you know, everyone got along? Not that THAT'S ever going to happen. |

Why not just use RPGs and drugs? You give'em the addictions and you force them to pay favours for you Godfather style...I mean if you control the supply of what the population wants, you control the population... |

I thought of that too. Invent the least harmful, most psychiologically addictive item/thing/dildo/drug which doesn't consume much time when using, and makes many types of people from different social classes to come together while using it, whether they want to or not. *Ethnic clashes solved. *Racism solved. *No one to rebel if you can keep monopoly on supply *Everyone happy Just keep unemployment and hunger down. |

Hmm, soma drug and group sex in Brave New World seems to be the answer. I found it without reading it. Is this Huxley dude still alive? I need to talk to him. |

I think Aldous Huxley is quite dead. Brave New World was a satire as much as it was a look at the future, and the world contained therein is an ironic utopia. The majority of people in the world (those not living on 'savage' reservations) live in relative bliss, brainwashed from birth and in some cases outright engineered to fit into a certain social caste (some babies are denied oxygen to their brains for a time, for example, to make them idiots). Sexual freedom has reached a whole new level of ridiculousness, with romance and relationships pretty much eliminated. The relative contentedness of the population has come at the cost of pretty much ALL wider knowledge, philosophy and art, including knowledge of history (they worship Henry Ford as god, and he said "History is bunk"). Only those in the highest echelons of power have access to things like the works of Shakespeare - they and, of course, the 'savages'. Don't know about you, but I think Brave New World is nightmarish, and I suspect that's the way Huxley intended it to be. It's still a great book and one that I'd recommend to anyone, in particular as a counterpart to 1984. |
