No doubt about it, I agree 100%. Good call Emmo, keep up the diligent work. It is interesting how people let those comments slip by, almost accepting them as true. Jeff

What an uneducated hypocrite you are Emmo! Look at yourself, foaming at the mouth in anger while talking about hate in others. 1. The Japanese DID steal American technology. 2. Inbreeding CAN be detrimental, that's why there are social rules against incest. 3. What the hell does the KKK have to do with this? You're a hate monger, Emmo, full of bitterness and false assumptions, and you've seized on this opportunity to anonymously focus your pent up anger toward society on me. I can tell that you're young. If you let this become your way of life, you'll always be miserable. The rest of the the thoughtful people on this board have already stated their opinions. Why don't you re-read their posts? You owe me an apology.

Emmo, I am just as vigilant as you are in routing racism, but I do not think that Pallisard's comments qualify. Pallisard's comment did not infer any superiority of his race to that of the Japanese race, nor has he advocated a policy based on such "character" traits he thinks he found. I am a Jew (as most should know from the "Jewish Turnip Farmer Almanac") and have felt on my own skin the scourge of hateful racism (I even got shot at as a 3 years old kid for the "sin"), but Pallisard comments had nothing to do with either advocating a special policy or even proposing any inferiority (or superiority) of the Japanese. It is a fact that Japanese are quite surprised at our western notion that intellectual property is a "capital asset" and thus misappropriation of such an asset can be considered in our world, "stealing". The fact it they expect inventors to be "honored" (rather then be financially compensated) when their IP is "stolen" since it is the best compliment they can convey on an outsider that his IP was worth implementing (and here, experience is speaking).
