[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that some shows are unnecessarily cruel and graphic. Are you angry about the violence portrayed in the show, or that things like that have actually happened?

I’m more upset about the latter. The Japanese really did do some really horrible things that are being forgotten with time that needs to be documented and remembered by everyone, screams and all.

This is a short read that may put more horrid stuff in your head. No screaming or vivid violence but soul-crushing because it is real history. Maybe reading this or the shogun book will be more your style.

Thank you for noting the Bataan Death March. Inhuman. I also knew those who were deeply changed from their experiences, but rarely discussed it. I guess the darkness was so deep it had to be locked away.[/quote]

Didn't the US also do the same thing to Native Americans? Forgot under which president but am pretty sure it's famous.[/quote]

One atrocity does not cancel out, let alone justify, another. There's no zero-sum balance on such cruelty. And you're thinking of the Trail of Tears, [b]which took place over two decades.[/b] I suggest you read up on both tragedies.[/quote]

No one said this justifies anything, just pointing out that in the larger context of history the Bataan death march is not that notable in that it attests to the cruelty of humanity, whether it happened in another century or this century. [/quote]

I added that the Trail of Tears took place over two decades as background of that particular piece of history, not in comparison to Japan or Bataan or anything else. I still think further reading would be a benefit.
