Pretty neat to hear news on the other side of the world that doesn\'t involve America. :p

Cliff notes: Chinese protests are getting violent as certain Japanese textbooks fail to mention the atrocities that the Japs did to China pre-WWII.

If these Chinks don\'t shut it the Emporer of Japan may have to send in the shinobi\'s with the illegal Ninja moves.

THIS IS STILL AMERICA\'S FAULT FOR SELLING ARMS TO THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT IN 1632 AND GIVING THEM IDEAS OF IMPERIAL CONQUEST AND STUFF! :p

Everything\'s "America\'s Fault" right? I mean come on if we didn\'t have the US there would be no wars or terrorism.

Still not equal to how many Russians were killed by the Germans.

Still irrelevant, there\'s two details to this story.

Which in turn is still not equal to the amount of Russians killed by Russians (ie. Stalin).

Hmm, well I can see why the Chinese are pissed. I bet the Jews would be too if German textbooks dumped the whole Holocaust.

\'We shall never forget\' should also apply to this.

If I were German I wouldn\'t want to teach about their history.

-Uh teacher what happened to Germany between 1914-1945?

-We\'ve been over this, someone lost the original German history textbook which had that in it. Everyone born from then has forgotten now stfu.
