Mindless action refers to mushin. On second thoughts, I order you not to do anything at all. Nope, I changed my mind.

Well, ever since the beginning that was one of the great debates: whether or not it was the individual's call to question an order. The samurai's ultimate duty was to serve the whim of their lord, moral or not, sane or not. The general concesus was that no matter the scenario, if a samurai chose to question instead of obeying with, as the code says, "mindless action", he had failed in the ultimate duty of a samurai. Bottom line was that doing the right thing meant doing as they were told.

Samurai just behave like samurai. They don't follow orders, they just do what is right all the time. If it was right to kill, they kill. If they were ordered to kill and it was not right they don't do it. You can line them up in armies facing one another in different uniforms. It doesn't matter. They just do the right thing anyway. That's what samurai really means. Maybe they turn up, maybe not. Really the samurai are always right, and if you don't like it, no samurai. Tough.

How do you blame the Japanese invasion of China on the USA? Japan invaded China. China bought weapons (maybe from the USA). How is that American provocation? Everyone interfears with issues that are none of their business - it's called "foreign policy". What business did Japan have in China? By the way, I'm not "antiJapanese" - I like Japan. But fact is fact.

You really should check your history. The USA did provoke Japan. Of course the USA says otherwise.Other examples: The Korean war, who created it ? The USA, because they claimed South Korea and the USSR claimed North Korea (instead of just letting it be 1 country).Vietnam war ? Same reason, not letting it be 1 united country.The USA wants to rule the world, and in order to do so, they create war. The USA interferes with issues that are none of their business. It's sad, but true.

I'm not sure if I can agree with you either. I think the idea of America is also fucked up. I considder myself a socialist and after figuring out what the USA is all about (Capitalism) I cna only say I really hate the pure capitalistic system.The difference ? Here it is -->Capitalism: everyone supports themselvesSocialism: the strong/rich support the weak/poor.FYI: I belong more to the rich/strong group then to the weak/poor group, so don't say that only poor people thing this way ;-)

The bush family weren't tha pioneers to make tha apple go rotten , it happen w/ tha banking system, Bush is just a puppet... It's not fare to blame him all, i mean power only currupts, and America is no different, why do you think there is such much entertainment? it's so that "ordinary" people like us don't get envolved and learn to much... I know it sounds crazy but, sometimes crazy is tha truth, look at Martin luther king, he got merked just for speakin the truth of vietnam.Crazy world

I dont think we should say fuck america. America is a great country. Or at least the idea of America. Ya know the underbelly of all the bullshit. The freedoms we so take for granted. What I say is fuck the people who made it awful, ex. The Bush family.

"Supplying guns to our enemies - China"? Now WHY were the Chinese your "enemies"? Because Japan had INVADED China? Occupied China? Carried out MASSIVE war crimes in China? So selling weapons to China so they could FREE themselves from Japan was PROVACATION to WAR for Japan? If you see things like that, then you REALLY got what you deserved!
