This might shock or depress you..

BUT I LIKE CAPS...

I LIKE THEM...

THEY ARE GOOD...THEY MAKE ME FEEL EMPOWERED AND LIKE A MAN...

CAPS...CAPPPPPPS

In response to what you are saying, yes, many aspects of modern medicine would have gained insight from tests that occurred in these pretty grim circumstances.

but that doesnt mean that they were justifiable at the time, for a supposedly advanced species, humans have accomplished some pretty disgraceful acts.

HUMANS ARE BARBARIC BY NATURE AND IN THOSE TIMES THINGS LIKE OTHER PEOPLES FEELINGS WHERE VERY RARELY CONSIDERED IF THE EXPERIMENTEES WERE CONSIDERED THE ENEMY.

YOU ONLY NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT THE NAZIS DID TO JEWS...AND IM NOT REFERRING TO THE GAS CHAMBERS BUT ALL THE OTHER EXPERIMENTS THEY DID.

I THINK AROUND THAT PERIOD OF TIME SCIENTISTS DIDNT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE HUMAN BODY OR AS MUCH AS THEY WOULD HAVE LIKED SO THEY SAW AN OPPORTUNITY TO CARRY OUT THE EXPERIMENTS THEY HAVE WRITTEN IN THEORY TO PRACTICE WITHOUT BEING LAMBASTED.

Yeah same here. I quickly dismissed the comment in question as her way of letting us all know she's a bit more educated than other people here. I took geography at school.

The thing is, they did tests on their own people. Not many of the tests done in the unit were on Westerners. I dunno if it was on the wiki page i linked (i aint read it fully today, but read stuff in the past), but i remember things of them dropping swarms of infected fleas over villages etc.

Either way, whether enemies or not, its quite horrific how depraved people can act

INDEED...

WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN KUHNT MANORS. EVERYONE GETS A ROSE AND A PASS TO NUDE SWIMMING AT BYKER BATHS ON A TUESDAY.

for the greater good eh

japanese cruely was widely known about years before the war

My grandad (Rip) was a prisoner of war in a jap camp. He was lucky enough to survive the whole ordeal, but went through all the shit that you see on tv etc.

He had 7 bayonet stab scars in his chest.

I think the war and the things that went on need to be a huge part of education of younger people. I have massive respect for the people who endured ww1 and 2.

pensioners being mugged etc.. people have no idea what they went through for this country

And the sad thing is, not a lot of the younger generation will care either.

Yip! Permiable (sp) stones and volcanoes for me also oh and green belt studies, so ask me anything about commercial road in Tynedock, but unfortunately I didnt study Jap torture past 3rd year.

your right mate. and thats what is so fucking shit about it.

what the case is.. you get a kid now who is 14 in school....

his mam is probably 30...

his mams mam is probably 48..

they missed the war, and probably dont give a fuck bout it either lol.

schools need to brand this kind of sick shit on the minds of youngens. Scare em into being good folk! haha

Cross gender births? Maybe they had more to do with the Jap experimentation than they realised....

Eh?

his mams mam = grandma

I read it wrong as I'm still stuck in the office and tried to read it quickly while I should have been doing "real" work....

Don't try to be witty while in haste

We'll just pretend we didn't notice too.. fooking trannies

It's ironic because the Japs are such nice people. Awful stuff though.

The thing is, they do as they are told and without question

Which begs the question...would they do it again?

The whole point of the film was to remind/educate people of what happened, which is what has happened here. Not exactly like some big Hollywood studio is gonna bother about what went on between a bunch of 'gooks' (Jewish 'gooks on the other hand...)
