- wolverine876 3y agoIt doesn't matter if you or I get worked up about their land, it matters if they get worked up about their land and their heritage.
- refulgentis 3y agoThey haven't owned the land since before WWII, and they yadda yadda over why they weren't allowed to buy, reasons are related to military and took place during WWII.
- wolverine876 3y ago> they yadda yadda They are talking about their lives and families, which they know intimately and on which much of their life depends. I don't know anything about them. Now if they talked about me, about whom they know nothing, then they'd be yadda yaddaing if you take my meaning.
- refulgentis 3y agoNo. That's not what I said or close. Trying again: they were banned from buying land for reasons that are politely obscured, beyond it relating to their actions in the Japanese military during WWII.
- pests 3y agoGotta start somewhere, and I'm sure it means way more to him that it does to you. 100 years is a lifetime, do you never get worked up at all? Why bother, such a short lifespan we all live.
- refulgentis 3y agoThis is a whole other level than "worked up" - speaking of lifetimes - 12 people have died over it. Did you read it?
- pests 3y agoWe're talking about a guy and his ancestral home. Is he the reason 12 people died?
- refulgentis 3y agoYes, according TFA and I'd argue yes as well, but it's a discussion.
