Who's to say I don't?

How about you?

Sounds too nebulous to you? Without discipline the Japanese would never have gotten anywhere after World War II. The Allied Occupation and Reconstruction period (1945-1952) where the Allies introduced sweeping political, military, social and economic reforms would have simply been frittered away. There could have been an insurgent uprising against the Allied occupiers... the very people who had bombed their cities back to the stone age (and not just Hiroshima and Nagasaki), the very people who were responsible for killing millions of their countrymen.

Yet the Japanese realized that the militarism which had made their country an Empire in the Pacific had also destroyed their country. They did not blame the Americans or other Allied nations for the destruction wrought upon their country. They looked at themselves and realized that embracing militarism had gotten them into the mess they were in and it would be up to them to get out of that mess that they themselves had created.

They turned their backs on their very painful recent past and got down to the task of rebuilding their country, even with the Allies gone. From a military-industrial complex they turned their swords (bayonets) into ploughshares in only a few years. From the first nation ever atom-bombed into submission, they clawed their way up to become the world's second- or third-largest economy. In only two generations.

It takes a lot of discipline as a people to do that.

Please explain.

You're probably correct in that I didn't actually count the number of times he said how great he was and how stupid others were, but it did occupy a lot of pages.

What I did count was the amount of space he devoted to hyperwage implementation. And that is exactly what I got. Ten bullet statements in less than one page. 1.5 line spacing.

I meant the post for Unsay Ngalan stating you said this but did not in his/her previous post.

Oh I said it alright. Quoting Bentulan. And in the need for safety nets, I totally agree with him.

Ah... So you feel that the poverty here in the Philippines is America's fault? Hmmmm... Can you be more specific (and more current), "scriptologist"?
