fuck!korean!!

[TykeLad101]

naturally, europeans and americans know samurai and kendo are japanese

[eklineage]

Lol. This is a joke right? You're not a bright kid aren't you. Get a real education you panty sniffing jap. Lol implying Japan weren't mere pirates before that time.

ME LOVE YOU LONG TIME! /facepalm

[Loco Gato]

Wow, surprising! You are still reading it.

What do you mean by ASIA? I guess you meant very specific part of Asia.

I guess your suggestion to visit US may not be a good one as I used live in the US for few decades. Also, I have post graduate education in the US as well.

Speaking of the armor, the most valuable Korean armor owned by Japanese was acquired in late 19th century; decades before annexation of Korea. How did Japanese steal it before annexation?

[eklineage]

And before you dumb fucks start picking random shit like slavery in America. We aren't proud of that display of savagery. If you see the uyoku comments on Youtube, there is an overwhelming amount of people so proud of their measly few decades of history as an actual powerful nation. So many japanese posters on the internet are so proud they killed so many people in Asia. My wife despises the japanese and decided to become American. Best choice she ever made to distance herself from savages.

[eklineage]

I made the comment 5 months ago. I don't care no more. Really, the armor of a korean prince just given away to the japanese? Are you retarded? You obviously are oblivious to the grave robbing that your people did in Asia. Retarded pedophile.

How do you know it was given as a gift. Only in Japan are people this stupid to history. Given. LOL. I suggest you come to the US and get a real education. Dumb fuck.

[Loco Gato]

Before you accuse people of serious crime, you must have do your due diligence.

How did you know that all of them were stolen?

Don't you think at least some of them were given/ sold?

Where is the proof that they were stolen?

Yes, this correctly represent what majority of Japanese see the issue. (excluding majority of your buddy Koreans living in Japan and purposely choosing to deny the truth.)

Don't you see how sick you are?

Please do not fabricate stories in a way you may be dreaming of.

Who cares about height?
