You heard it here first, North Korea has created Godzilla, or some other gigantic city-burning monster that suspiciously resembles a man stomping around in a suit made of rubber.

EVERYONE PANIC.

No, NK uses Puglasari....

I don't know why they are even still fighting. The two countries are not that different anyway:

They did? I see no evidence of that.

Obviously there was no Holocaust in the US, but the Japanese were interned and antisemitism wasn't just a German thing.

Maybe you know something I don't, but just on an ephemeral level it seems like you're "talking out your ass."

I think you counter punched your own point Dogma.

Fewer doesn't mean "less severe", it means "fewer".

Further, what world do we live in that makes pre-War Germany noticeably less democratic than the pre-War US?

Oh, that's right, the world where "pragmatists" wish they lived.

Well in this case fewer does mean less severe, but geometric factors.
Any attempt to compare the US and Nazi germany is just asinine and completely unsupportable. Seriously.

Its actually pretty easy to support. They interned Jews, we interned the Japanese.

The severity wasn't similar, but it was still comparable behavior.

Oh well, we're all evil it seems.

Internment was still inexcusable, and there ARE parallels. But it's apples to passionfruit against the Holocaust.

Hey you weren't exactly quick off the mark.. Us cynical Brits tend to think that chasing the dollars flogging us gak tanks was more important than helping the Jews out.

Agreed. Every country has done bad things, including Louisiana. But attempting in some way to make the comparisons between the Allied Powers and what the Axis Powers did is the height of sophistry or one of those other five dollar words I've forgetten since the senility started kicking in.

Matty I can't decipher this one :(

Ah it was merely a quip, doesn't warrant a translation. I agree with Frazzled regards sophistry, I was just taking the piss.
