    That's an interesting quote. While I can understand Truman's sentiments, years after an event is precisely the appropriate time to discuss what should and shouldn't have been done at the time. It's the only way we can understand history and learn from it.

    There is also a legitimate debate as to whether or not it was necessary to deploy the atomic bombs. There is no such debate on the subject of GI rape.

    Is Forbin defending his dad's, a WW2 veteran's, actions? :flow:

    The French girls should've lied back and enjoyed it? :ramen:

    My understanding is that the French girls welcomed the liberators with signs saying "le blowjob poor le GI!" And now they claim rape?

    He occasionally mentioned I may have an older brother over there.

    Actual conversation with Dad when I was in my 30s - I was telling him about this absolutely beautiful Filipino (Filipina?) woman at work that just took my breath away. He sighed and went a little dreamy. I asked what? He said "Shanghai, a couple days after the war ended... Nah. Maybe I'll tell you about it some day."

    He never did. :(

    There were hundreds of rapes among over 100,000 men. So because 1,000 men were assholes, we should condemn the other 999,000? Fuck off!

    I wasn't going to bring Forbin's dad into this, considered it too low a blow… but then he went and did it himself. :shock:

    There's lots of stuff on wikipedia on Japan and Okinawa I don't even want to use here, it's too disgusting.

    Sure, some soldiers were punished for rape… the black ones. For white soldiers, the attitude was, "Copulation without conversation does not constitute fraternization." :bergman:

    I don't tell my kid shit about my personal life - I'll discuss tactics/weapons/PG-rated anectdotes/etc. about the military over a cold brew all day long (he's a soldier too) though.

    Garamet wants a thread dedicated to the subject of rape. Makes you wonder if her sexual proclivities run to the........ extreme....... end of the spectrum.

    What happened to you man? I used to rejoice when you'd kick some life into a stale conversation.

    Now its all cliches, worn out tropes and plainly, just walking into conversations with a poor read on the dynamics. Has the ubiquitous repression on that side of the state finally broke you? Have some fire water and regroup, Chief.

    This is a thread dedicated to trolling the memory of the baby-killing rapists who served in WW2. Try to keep up. :bergman:

    What the fuck is your problem? You're hardly one to talk about cliches, worn out tropes and stale memes. Actually, that's all Wordforge is these days, since most of the rats have abandoned this sinking ship. :rolleyes:

    You want some originality? Start with yourself. Come up with with something better than parroting Anc & Liet's party line of "you used to be better at trolling, now you suck, do better and entertain us." Show some self-respect and ddon't just channel Liet. :dayton:

    You want my "A" game? Crawl on your knees to Albert, Muad, marathon, and beg them to come back. And not neutered, pussy, thin-skinned Albert, I want raging psychotic Albert. Get Shepherd to rediscover his Super Fundie persona, that was infinitely more fun than his current uber-PC cross-dressing gender-queer act.

    For me, visiting Wordforge these days is like offering a fat chick a pity fuck. It's sex, so on some level it will be enjoyable, but mostly you're doing it because you know if you don't, she's gonna go into the bathroom later that night and swallow a whole bottle of Ambien.

    What are gonna do to help Wordforge be more than just a pity fuck?

    Lanz you could have banned him when you owned the board. You have lots of opinions on things now that you don't. Too easy.

    Nostalgia. The neon sign of the unaccomplished loser. Everything was better in some guilded golden age. "If only the prom queen, the preppie or those meddling kids hadn't screwed me over, I'd get what I was entitled to, blah blah blah.....".

    You want nostalgia go to Facebook, where every day is throw back Thursday, and you can stalk the cool kids profiles for failure and self affirmation.

    This is Wordforge. It ain't what it once was, it is what it is, and what it is right now ain't that bad.

    Muad and Albert? Hold on a sec, so I can :rotfl: some more.

    Those guys brought out quality in you? I'll grant that marathon poked you hard enough to entertain the rest of us, but Muad and Albert probably didn't even know who you were. As for A game, you never had one. Your problem, though, isn't that you've declined, it's that there's nobody left who hasn't figured you out.

    Actually, I suppose that's the reason you miss Albert and Muad.
