Comment on US Internment Camps “Human Rights Crime of Century” by Anonymous:

“These were American citizens that had their land, their property, and their rights taken from them without any due process”

Actually, no.

Their land and property was not taken from them. And they were interned with “due process”, only the process at the time was, admittedly, messed up.

Internees also had a lot more freedom than people think. College students were allowed to continue going to their classes and people could get permission to leave the camp. They just had to make sure that they didn’t wander too far out of their way on the way to and from where they were going, had to have a legitimate reason for leaving the camp and had to be back in the camps by a certain time.

I don’t condone the actions taken at the time, but as has been said, times were different back then. A less enlightened time when it came to bigotry and a time when paranoia was running rampant because of the war.

And, based on what other nations were doing at the time, the internment was one of the least offensive “atrocities” to happen during the war.

Although it could be considered a travesty of justice, people were certainly not being killed or maltreated. They were just being contained.

You also have to give the US credit for owning up to their mistake. They’ve made a direct, formal apology (although it took a bit too long to do IMO) and, as the article states, have paid over a billion dollars in reparations.

  History is cool, but only when reality is part of it. Sound like Japan is teaching BS in their schools if their own population does not know what happen in WW2.

  My Grandfather was a soldier back then when Japan invaded Philippines, he said that Japanesse in America at that was lucky because they are treated more fairly. In those soldiers that got captured we’re forced to their own grave.

  I find it odd that they would find the WWII internment camps to be the human rights violation of the century but they don’t bother to mention the fact that they also committed a human rights crime of the century as well, for the unprovoked attack on Pearl Harbor, which is what incited the creation of these camps in the first place.

  For me the real winner in this matter is my good ol’ PS2, which also plays PS1… and my computer with emulators of cartridge consoles with great games pre-2000s, when gaming was about gameplay, fun, great stories+characters, and the difficulty was high enough to replay over and over again. And there was no requirement of my mail address, personal data, bank account, any account at all… I played with family/friends on one console/TV, not online, there were neither social crap, nor …

  So, my old 360 games have to be registered to an account… AND I have to pay for that? FYI, my account got hacked once and some fucktard abused it to buy DLC for a retarded Fifa game. Though I got my money back and stuff… it still sucked, and I never used my account info anywhere, I never bought a Gold subscription or played online… so I wasn’t at fault. Security where? And they want money from ME so that I can register my BOUGHT copies to an account that might get hacked, because they can …

  Sure, one can get a real computer (well, I have one) with great Windows 8 lol Jokes aside. My family got our first PC back in 1996, I believe, and we had gaming consoles much earlier. I grew up as a toddler playing/watching Master System and NES, and as an adult I still own most consoles, newest being a 360. To me there were PC games and console games. FPS and strategy games were best played on PC, everything else on the console. That feeling of holding a controller in your hands and sitting in …

  Sorry but amd64 is compatible with x86 and not with different arch in cell (powerpc). Youll need to emulate that.
