And why would an American be ashamed of not being an expert in samurais? Oh no I don't know jack shit about a warrior group that''s been gone for over a 100 years. Here's what I do know. The Samurai are retarded. They banned guns in Japan to preserve the power of the samurai, even though the Japanese firearms were far more advanced than the Europeans were at that time, which lead to the total backwards thinking of the Japanese ruling class, which made them think they could beat a country with twice the population, ten times the industrial output and far more advanced technology in a long drawn out rapid fatigue war of attrition. Guess how that turned out. Oh yeah. They got royally double teamed by Fat Man and Little Boy.

Someone is hateful to japanese people, I tell you what, they have red on their flag so they aren't all that bad........dirtbag.



OOC: Yes, I have seen to much Red vs Blue, I would rather watch that than both cartoons and anime.....and Live action.

Actually Japan is very, very racist, if you know much about it. The whole racial purity thing is still really big there.

Have you been to a different japan than I have?

To be honest, the Samurai weren't really all that great. The katana is made to sound great but it was actually inferior to Western arms due to the very, very poor quality of the iron in Japan, which is why the spent so much time folding it. In addition, the Samurai never had as much military tradition -- while they did participate in feuds between daimyos, they were more or less riot police and never got to the level of prowess the Chivalric knights, who participated in large scale war, had. Not to mention their armor was made of wood, so their fighting style was more about not getting hit than anything.

No, my problem is with people that cannot properly call the name of a weapon or object, see what I did with the Katana, well I rage over something if the Gladius was called a short sword or Roman Sword, they got names dangit!

Not to mention their treatment of the Ainu, of which I have a small percentage of decent. As well as a bitter resentment of the Chinese, and the awful treatment of the aforementioned Koreans, who were infamously used as concubines in World War Two.
