People are pretty damned pathetic really, but none as pathetic as those in such deep denial that they run their mouth attesting to the fact.

Just linking to or posting the content of an article without giving your own opinions regarding it? Yes..
What you have a habit of doing is posting/linking things you find which could be controversial or inflammatory without adding anything meaningful of your own (or nothing whatsoever), apparently just to stir up sh!t among the active members for your own amusement....sort of like throwing a hunk of meat into a pack of dogs so you can entertain yourself by watching them fight over it. If you're not in fact a troll, then the difference is so negligible as to be indistinguishable by appearances.
We welcome your active participation in discussions and your serious opinions regarding topics. Links to articles and vapid quips, such as we are used to seeing from you, really don't contribute to anything and merely serve to call into question your motives.
Again, we're a discussion forum, not a news article collator.

Apology? due sometime betweennow and sept. Does anyone see any way Japan can make such, favorable to japan and the history as they want it told and recpgnized...without antagonizing or alienating themselves further from their allies, trade partners, and customers?
