    That part I'm not sure about.

    Well people can try to sue for pretty much any reason, it would be REALLY embarrassing if they actually gave in.

    Does anyone know if they got him a PS4 instead?

    No the fact that someone who kills 77 is not only allowed to live but is allowed to live in 3 nice cells with a playstation and have the opportunity to complain about it is just fucking mind boggling. I seriously cannot even wrap my head around it.

    Hm, I was wrong. He had a PS 2 and asked for a PS 3. Yeah, that guy is a brutal massmurderer, a ridiculous annoying plague, who takes himself far to important.

    If you kill a murderer, doesn't that make you a murderer? Also, death is way too easy for him, let him rot in that jail for life. 3 of my friends was on that island, no one died, but one was shot and ended up in hospital, also they lost a friend, one I barely knew but had shared a couple of coffees with.
    So I hate every time the media brings this douchebag up in the news, let him rot, don't give him any attention at all. Terrorists like him are the scum of the world, and he is a prime example that "good western human beings" can be just as bad as muslims.
    Fucking terrorists.

Why do you jump to demonizing the United States and completely ignore the heinous crimes against humanity committed by the Japanese, crimes that came to an end because of the United States.
    And the point I was trying to make went completely over your head.
    A: Because the japanese were committing attrocities in China, the USA is therefore justified in committing attrocities in Hiroshim and Nagasaki in an effort to stop the japanese attrocities? Last time I checked, Balancing a Wrong with another Wrong is never morally justified, no matter what kind of mental gymnastics you want to preform.
    B: The above is especially true when you factor in that the Japanese had effectively put forward the motion to surender, and said above attrocities in China would likely have ended even without the bomb being dropped, but "Lets bomb the fuck out of them anyway and force a surrender on our terms" turned out to be the expedient thing, rather then sit down at the negotiating table and work out a civilized solution to ending the war.

    You have no idea what you are talking about. The Japanese were only willing to surrender on the condition that their regime stay in power after they had already killed millions of people in the name of the emperor. They ignored the Potsdam Declaration and the costs of launching an invasion to force a surrender would have been far more destructive and had far longer lasting effects. You have to be willfully ignorant of history to argue against dropping the nukes.

    I don't argue that it ended the war and saved countless lives, but killing civilians is probably not a great thing to be proud of
    I'm no specialist at all, but I'd guess it had something to do with the imperial Japanese view of eh.. Rassenkunde? (no idea what English word would be most fitting) Anyway, the point being the perception of being much superior than especially the other "asian races" like Koreans, Chinese, etc., thus treating their civilians like critters. Further, without having read up on that subject, I would assume that the view on the "white western race" would be much higher, considering their achievements, and that the USA and their western allies could kind of been seen as a "worthy adversary" in terms of strength and thus their citizens deserved a better treatment (and also, probably having little interest in an empire stretching as far as Europe or America, those nations shouldn't be too pissed off once the war would be over or something like that)?
    That's all kinda guesswork now, because I somehow lost the article about asian Rassenkunde...meh...

    Oh, and also...
