My father is now 91. He, his father and brothers all fought in HK during WWII. He was actually the last person captured alive as he had been seriously wounded and was being cared for by some local Chinese villagers out on their sanpan (just off Stanley). My father was one of the Royal Scott's volunteers.

@ATGOD

you probably also exaggerated your own mental competence.

[ATGOD]

@TheSalmonfan Quit with the trolling? I'm actually 18 but i overexaggerated with my bday >.>

[TheSalmonfan]

@ATGOD

Btw, you failed to realize that I am not a man.

@ATGOD

I accidentally visited your channel. On top it says you're 14, from Vancouver, Canada. Down below it says your age is 42.

If you're 42 and pretending to be 14, then you're a real animal that creeps everybody out right from the bones. If you're a 14 yo kid & pretending to be a 42 yo man, then I would have no point to argue about the subject matter with you over here. Either way it clearly says you're not a normal being.

Oh, perhaps change your name to AV CREEP.

@tomsega My bad, I misread what you said. It was more towards the other person u were replying to.

[tomsega]

@ATGOD Fine but why so aggressive man. I don't dispute what you say.

[ATGOD]

@tomsega ...I believe hong kong was a great trading colony in china and any nearby asian colonies. That's the only reason why Britain cared since they've spent already 30 or more years on making Hong kong a wealthy, trading colony compared to when china was handling it: China didn't give a fuck about hong kong, Britian did. If you dare fucking call me a liar, you're talking to a hong kong canadian who actually knows shit about hong kong.

[ATGOD]

@TheSalmonfan In fact, The west neither helped or made shit worst. Clearly you're fucking retarded. The only reason why the independant acts even occured is the fact the west did nothing beneficial or harmful acts to those asian colonies thus many asian colonies believed they're better off handling shit on their own.

[ATGOD]

@TheSalmonfan I, a canadian hong kong person, agree with stefans. Surely TheSalmonfan is clearly a troll and will face my fist going straight up his poopshoot with his heart in my hand out of his mouth. The Japanese are fucking genocidist and racist towards the Asian continents during WW2 and even before WW2. They're like the Nazis of Asia: They believe that they're the only superior race in Asia. Why else did they commit such crimes against humanity in china? You troll, have angered a chinese.
