My five-year-old loves the iPad and knows the ins and outs of it very well, but I can’t picture a scenario where she would be using any of the internet that would get her to a part of it that would require filtering for her age. I think the device as a whole is a great idea, but I can’t imagine what Pre-K filtering…

You didn’t answer my question about his landspeeder: Namely, why did he take that to hunt for R2D2 when he could have covered more ground from the air in his T-16? What, is there a law against flying them when it isn’t womp rat hunting season?

You know, between this alien and Yoda living 900 years, you have to wonder why everyone in the Galaxy is rushing around all the time.

You think that the Habsburgs had something to do with the renaissance, which was mainly centered in Italy? You have very strange notions of European history, and the idea that Prussia was some sort of center of culture is just hilarious.

Too bad WWI ended in 1918 and the claim was, and I will quote again:

Got it. You’re going to ignore the whole other post I just quoted to you further expanding upon and explaining my point because you’d rather fight with someone. Find someone else to fight with, I’m not interested.

If you want to talk about history, Germany didn’t exist until 1871, so I have no idea why you think it was adored by the other major powers throughout Europe.

This is the statement I was responding to:

When did I say Japan didn’t suffer enough? As I already said to someone:

Okay, well re your edit, no, that is not what I was saying. I think there’s plenty of blame to go around for what happened in the aftermath of Unit 731 and the U.S. is just as complicit in the problems. There’s nothing about this that is in regards to Japanese people or their culture in general. Just that not only is…

Doesn’t change the fact that Germany was not widely considered the most civilized and cultivated country on the planet until 1939.

This article made the claim that a country wouldn’t do experiments on people like they did in this Anime when the nation of Japan (and I am not going to go down this semantic path with you of ‘let’s narrowly define what that means’) during WWII did exactly that, most of the people involved got immunity afterward (and…

A lot of what you said is debatable but none of it counters the fact that Germany simply wasn’t the cultural center of Europe before WWII. It was the Habsburgs until WWII and then continued to be Austria, or more specifically Vienna, afterwards. Sure, German culture did get a boost under the Weimars, but it was…

And I stand by what I said. Japan did not face consequences for Unit 731. They faced consequences for things like the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Battan Death March.

And precisely how many of those people were involved with Unit 731?

So what did those people in those rural areas think happened to the Jews who had all of their property confiscated (after their businesses were smashed up), then were rounded up in boxcars and transported away after years of being told that they were the worst enemy of Germany and its people? Are you saying they were…

There was no Germany in the mid-19th century, and if anything, until WWI, the center of culture in Europe was the Habsburg Empire. While they did, in fact, speak German in a lot of that empire, they were not Germany.

Especially when there are people still alive today who were victims of Japan’s horrific Unit 731 human tests during WWII. If this is a world slightly different from ours, it could be a world where Japan didn’t face any consequences for- oh wait, that’s our world.

I’m sorry, you’re just wrong in this. They knew.

Before WWII, Germany was widely considered the most civilized and cultivated country on the planet.
