Atheistmonk lol the irony. you act like you know what your talking about. i AM a shia. my cousin lives in an arab country. my parents are from a country which is majority sunni (pakistan). the pakistani community where i live includes many sunnis as well as many many shias. and also, i have met my fair share of sunni arabs as well as even more shia arabs. i can tell you. a majority of the time someone named ali will be a shia. ali is the name of the first shia imam and the 4th caliph of the rashidun caliphate who's descendants were the 12 shia imams. now maybe now and then a sunni arab may have the name ali, but a vast majority of the time it will be a shia. there are other mostly shia-exclusive names as well. like jafar, kazim, reza, hassan, hussain. (there are other shia names but the ones i listed are ones that are hugely common among shias i have never met a sunni with them.) so before you call someone and idiot make sure you know what you are talking about. you stupid fucking *idiot*

[@felipevillalba9311]

I'd say that i know a little more about suicide bombers than you do, pal, because I invented it, and then I perfected it so that no living man could best me in the ring of honor.

It's funny how people insult the Japanese as "liberals" and "leftists" as if they know the situation in Japan better than a Japanese. Seriously just keep everything for yourself,you don't know anything about the way Japanese people think and do.

[@genchwan]

because they watched a lot of animes and think they are japanese now

[@obi-wankenobi9871]

I also find it interesting that being liberal is an insult these days. If there werent any liberal forces we would still be ruled over by kings.

[@Nova.207]

As a matter of fact no ones calling them leftists

I support Japan's right to have a standing military. Though I still think they should practice restraint when going to war.

[@tomato1685]

nothing wrong with them trying to destroy Isis idk why people wouldn't support that

[@jacobschweder7535]

Tomato because theres people alive today that remember the harshness and brutality of the Japanese military during WW2.

[@tomato1685]

What kind of logic is that? So because of something a country did 80 odd years ago they should be disarmed forever? dude if that logic was applied to everyone not one country would have a military. it's a retarded concept.

[@Vel073]

Tomato Agree, this isn’t Imperial japan anymore. It’s just japan.

[@jacobschweder7535]

Tomato you asked why people wouldnt support that and im telling you why lmao
