    First why in about 98 percent of anime do all the characters look white , I mean like they're from Ireland?


    Also I was told many people that the japanese are taught that the United States of America started the WWII is this true?

    First off, I always wondered about that too.

    Also, didnt Germany start world war 2 and the United States remained neutral until we were attacked? Thats the way I remember it...

    "didn't Germany start WW2?" does not sound like a question that seriously needs to be asked. WTF Lol
    The USA remained neutral until Japan attacked Pearl Harbour.

    To clear things up, a little timeline:

    1939: Germany attacked Poland, rest of the world stays calm
    1940: Germany attacked and occupied 50% of France, England declares war
    1941, June: Germany attacks Russia
    1941 Dec.: Japan attacks American and British troops in Pearl Harbour
    1941, late December: The United States & the UK declare war on Japan
    1941: Being an allie of Japan, Germany declares war on the United States


    The Nazis did not want to declare war on the United States (at least not before defeating Russia and England) because that was one of the factors that later led to the catastrophe of a European-wide battlefield with two frontlines.

    From what I've been told Being pale as fuck is highly desired in Japanese culture.

    Maybe somebody can elaborate for me on that.

    Well, they sell whitening cream.

    Back to WWII
    The way I always hear it described was "The attack on Pearl Harbor was what triggered America's entry into the War in the Pacific". As if the two geographical extremes were seen as two different wars... or at least entry points, which could have been decoupled.

    EDIT: History Channel has WWII in HD which is pretty impressive, but I've only watched the first episode so far. It's not too brutal but they didn't go into too much depth about the fucked up shit going on in Guam, the Phillipines, and the other small islands in the Pacific.

    A couple of questions...

    Is it true that all Americans are fat and carry guns?

    Where in China is Japan?

    85% of americans are fat as holy hell , about 25% are people who hate guns and a couples states have a law that you have to own a gun . and alot of counties and citys are the same . I personally have and ak 47 fold stalk , luger p38, 5 shotguns 1 is a 10 gauge and the rest are 12 gauges , sks , and a couple 45 hand guns. Though I am incredibly under weight.

    Hey, I'm 87 Kg now :thumbsup: still a fat shit but getting there. As for britush being fat well, it's true that when I went home in summer the amount of big fat women was shocking. Not so many guys but every other middle aged woman was a right fat bitch. Not pleasent at all. It's because they sit on their arse all day eating chocolates. I'd still say that the US still wins on the overall fat ass chart o western countries.

    Yeah! America wins with 34% obesity among adults. Mexico is second with obesity affecting 30% of the adult population. I wonder how the percentages change when you add kids....

    I know for a lot of cultures, including Hispanic and Korean, it's frowned upon for women to have darker skin. It gives the appearance that they're outside a lot, which means that they must work outside, which means that they must be poor. That's how it was explained to me anyways.

    some corrections:
    Britain/France declared war on Germany 2 days after they invaded Poland ('the phony war')

    Japan invaded Hong Kong and Malaya at the same time as Pearl Harbor (well day later due to date lines) thus Britain was at war with them early December.

    You could argue the Allies instigated the Pacific campaign somewhat, they embargoed much of the raw materials Japan depended on in response to the ongoing invasions of China. Due to cultural differences this was seen as an act of war by Japan.

    You forgot that great south American country, Argentina which remained neutral until 27 March 1945 when it declared war on Germany and Japan or Chile which declared war just before the war ended.
