Guess who else is re-writing their history books....

I'm not even sure he called you that, since it's not in what you quoted him. However, to save you from possible further embarassment, you should probably know whoring is not limited to sexual activity in meaning.

It can mean a person considered as having compromised principles for personal gain (from The American Heritage® Dictionary), or pursue a faithless, unworthy, or idolatrous desire (from M-Webster). Well, you then need to know what idolastrous means: Given to blind or excessive devotion to something. “The religiosity of the [group] is self-righteous and idolatrous. It perceives no virtue in its opponents and magnifies its own” (Christopher Lasch).

Hope it helps. Then, you are not sensitive, you always win, and your English is perfect

 

LOL...macho talk there...your screenname now represents the image of a tough as nail badass in my online virtual world ... LOL (ok, ok, I know it's a bad joke ). Amyway, there are so many big liars on the internet that it's not even funny. It is said that 50% of the people online who claim to be men are actually women, and vice versa. Therefore, you just can't take the images that virtual folks try to portray of themselves seriously. I am one of the many people who think that majority of the internet warriors who talk tough behind their monitors are nerds in real life. I am saying that in general and I hope you are not one. So please don't get defensive about it.

Well, like I said, it's silly to judge the emotion of the other people by reading the alphabets displayed on your monitor. You can choose to perceive that they are upset and try to convince yourself that they really are. But the truth may well be they are actually having fun by getting on your nerves. Some posters have also 'acccused' you of being upset in this thread. So...are you upset? are they upset? is everyone upset? is anyone upset? is no one upset? Who knows? You are free to perceive that you are the only one who is not upset. And they are also free to perceive that you are actually the only one here who is upset. Everyone is at liberty to paint pictures in their minds based on their own perceptions in this online reality world. Isn't it great?

 

I was helping you out. One Asian man helping another would be more appropriate .

 

Regardless, the question still stands. Show me where it said that the Chinese are "re-writting history." Otherwise we are a little less honest with ourselves aren't we?

 

You are missing the point again, as usual. Whether someone is upset or not, or you are upset or not, plays no role in whether your point is right or wrong, if you had one. I don't see the necessity for you to be obsessed with that. Similarily, whether that's a Chinese man or Asian man or woman, has nothing no do with the value of his/her opinion, does it? Unless you view them differently, depending on who said that.

 

But do there opinions as non-Chinese matter in your mind whether it is right for the Japanese to whitewash their history and glorify their militarist past or can you not see beyond that you believe the Chinese are hypocrites so the whole issue is invalid?

 

Couldn't agree more. I will say it again I think it is wrong of the Chinese and Koreans to become violent over this and that the Japanese do have the right to revise their history and glorify their militarists past but tolerence and understanding is a two way street and has helpful as it might be for the rest of Asia to show Japan some tolerance its far more in Japan's own interests to show some sensitivity to the rest of Asia.

I can see compromises on this issue. The Japanese can keep the Yasukuni Shrine and even the 14 class A war criminals just not officially visit them and be clear in their official education material that they were the agressors and not the victims or saviors of Asia in WWII

This issue from what I understand in Japan this seems to be more of a narrow wedge issue being used by the LDP like things like stem cell research is in the US. From what I know most Japanese are either mildly supportive, apathetic or against it and its being driven by extremists.

 

Moral relativism or non-cognitivism is not Asian specialty, Nor forte. That small dose of relativism in Daoism and Zen is rather about perception not being able to change the truth. Doesn't moral realativism imply intrinsically that everyone is a hyporite? What are you making fuss of? And what does you moral relativism tells you about your own cognitive-bias, Mr. "I'm right"?

Please do keep this up, since I increasingly find you entertaining. And I'm typing with full knowledge of this.

 

The truth is...you are right?

 

Thank you for your teaching, Master New Yorker. Now I get it, right or wrong doesn't matter. But it matters a lot whether he/she is upset, or whether you are upset, according to your original post. Furthermore, it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, but it really matters if one Chinese man (presumably) agrees with another Chinese man. They can't happen to agree with each other, just like some Americans do. Once a Chinese man agrees with another, they must be so defensive to feel the urge to defend each other. Thank you again for your valuable lecture.
