BUT, I recall reading the Good Book once upon a time, and came across somewhere in the garden of Eden, where God said to Adam and Eve:"..your offsprings will be born with the sin you now carry....because you tasted the forbidden fruit that I have warn you about..."S. said:
Irrelevant to the topic, but hope that explains why I think like that.
And what's happening to the UN security council seat Japan's after? I have been out of touch with the TV lately.

Ahh yeah. I was pretty sure it said somewhere else that you can't be held responsible for what your parents etc have done. Hmm, a (possible) contradiction in the bible, who'd have thunk it.wtr said:BUT, I recall reading the Good Book once upon a time, and came across somewhere in the garden of Eden, where God said to Adam and Eve:"..your offsprings will be born with the sin you now carry....because you tasted the forbidden fruit that I have warn you about..."

I might be wrong, but i think WTR's quote is a little skew. I think what it actually says that your children will be born INTO sin, not WITH. There is a difference.
Eitherway the point of what its saying is that if adam and eve hadn't stuffed up, there would be no need for all this "religion crap" and we could just waltz on through the pearly gates when we wanted. Instead, its not a right we're born with, its somehting we have to earn through life. Apparantly.

Yeah, look, that quote I made about the bible was just off the top of my head, will dig into the Good Book if your really after a word for word quote.
Sin, I don't really follow the idea of being born guilty. But I agree that I've sinned myself a handful of times throughout the course of my life. Who, other than Lord Jesus Christ himself and absolutely devoted priests, aren't affected by lust?!
I dare you to lie, unless you male hormone insufficiency..
But even if Japan did acquire its permanent member status, with a 4-2 ratio, aren't they likely to be out numbered still? But taking into account the relationship between the brits and US, things are looking gloomy...
Come to think about it..didn't the US 'started' UN in the first place, almost 60 years ago?
What if we become their third UN puppet?

It does sound a bit concerning. I wouldn't doubt that they will exploit that advantage to stir up more shit in the Arabic region.

Well guys I reckon getting the Japanese onto the SC would be a good idea. Over here in Iraq I would prefer to be at the Japanese base rather than this British base they are so much more approachable and are always up for a good laugh. There work with the local community has gone along way as well even for there colour, darker skinned people are looked down upon but not like a racism thing just a structure thing. As far as Japan being a puppet, some of you spindoctors could say the same thing for Australia. The thing is, spend a little time OS and you'll realize that both countries have a very seperate Identity and well particularly in Australia's case most of the locals have a ball with us as we are more approachable, accepting and easy going than most other countries that are here including the brits. We will wave and cary on, stop and meat the locals we are even trying to start getting some football games going between us and the locals.
Oh, you're the only person that's been passed Australian shores?goosehead said:
As for differing identities, that's got nothing to do with what we are talking about mate. You're talking cultural while we're talking political. Two completely different things mate.
You are quite a distance off the mark here I think. How soldiers and people act in country is not a very substantial matter in geopolitics.
PS, Australia wasn't nuked by the US, had a peace treaty dictated by the US and doesn't have a base with 30 000 US soldiers on it either
Where over here for six mths and its a blast. The locals are pretty cool sneaking shit into base and that, ie star wars 3, fridges, T.V's all kinds of stuff.
As for being OS I'm sure most of you have been OS and if not are working to get there. Its always a good thing meet new people and ideas and so much fun last time I was OS I went to Canada snowboarding. Its a bit different though when serving proffsionally. Here where representing his policies straight up so pretty much what he says on a political level goes here. We have been told to work with the local community which is what where doing. More than the Americans that think they are the community.
And the Japanese well there doing awesome work helping to rebuild the local infrastructure here getting power, water and sewerage back to the people. I figure if they what to make more of an effort working for the UN to get things done goo luck to them maybe they can help repay for damage done during the war. Remember they where our allies, they took the ANZACS to Turkey in WW1.
