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.

  Somehow, not a single figure of Misaka has done it for me. There’s alway something ‘off’. Misaka is one of the few characters that I don’t need to see sexualized. I really like her for her personality, not her sexyness.

  Well, living with a very sexually expressive roommate might be one of the reasons.

  Ishiwatari never voiced Sol when it came to story modes, only the game. The first voice actor who voiced him in such a mode was Hikaru Hanada (I think that’s his name), and later Jouji Nakata, who was also available for the game at the same time as Daisuke Ishiwatari. I’m glad they kept Nakata. His grave voice is awesome.
