Savage Christmas: Hong Kong 1941

  «Discrimination was is cold hard truth for Asiatic immigrants (especially those Canadians of Japanese descent during World War I). Yet this mistreatment at home was nothing compared to the cruelty Japan unleashed upon her Asian neighbors during the thirties and into World War II. I'm willing to admit that I've had racist thoughts ,which I continue to combat and will do so for the rest of my life. But I have a little saying when it comes to people like JoshLee"- "A victim is never wrong." Are you a victim, Josh? You seem to embrace with glee the idea of Canadian soldiers suffering while in Japanese captivity. I'm also sure that you're someone who denounced the use of two nuclear bombs. The use of this weapon is something I disagree with, but the alternate solution wold have been to fight a final, savage invasion. A battle that would have done more damage to Japan than Little Boy and Fat Man did. It was horrible, but since no one in Japan wants to own-up to it's responsibility in acknowledging it's own cruelty, it makes it hard for me to take you or others like yourself seriously. It's 2012 now. The battles were fought. Many civilians perished in that era of "total war". Can't you find anything better to do with your time, such as exploring both sides of the story? . »

  «And what would you know about it Junior???? Didn't like the guy who sold you your Ipod? Be careful about how you speak about the HK veterans for they went through more than you'll ever encounter. I would love to carry the burden that my ancestors did as well being a second generation Canadian but you should probably think about continuing on with your life rather than fighting your ancestor's war........»

  «IIts not very nice to be treated like human trash by another race isn't it? Maybe those Canadian POWs that survived the ordeal walked away with a new perspective about how they treat orientals in Canada. Hell they even treated the Chinese in Hong Kong like crap, nothing like tasting your own medicine, bet they didn't like it. »

  «a great record of events, recording the bravery of those involved, a question, where was the location of the Stream, the resting place of the atrocity, discovered 1945. would like to know!»

  «A very touching movie, which encourages me to be absolute pacifist.»
