Where was the rage when the other Presidents bowed before the Emperor?

It's a sign of respect, you fucking idiots. We are not higher than any other Nation in the world. It's that leaders have a mutual respect for each other. Bowing is a symbol of respect, not submission (there are certain poses that are similiar to a bow as a sign of submission). The Emperor always get's the deepest bow because he's the fucking EMPEROR!!!
A foreigner bows to show he understands the meaning behind the bow, and that nations customs!

Why are people losing their fucking minds everytime Obama does something! I'd wager that if he DIDN'T bow, there would be people here saying that he doesn't respect our foreign allies! Sonofabitch! Critics will look for any thing to throw shit at if they really try at it!

*grumble grumble*

Thanks for posting this. I wonder when the shitstorm arrives...?

*licks finger, checks for wind direction*

Hmm.... There's a shitstorm a-coming! And Fast!

 

Not a problem I really want people to read this and write their ideas about this article.

 

More desperate right wing noise machine bullshit trying to stir up trouble over nothing. I tell you more of these guys remind me of my hysterical old grandmother every day.

 

Yeah I read about it earlier today. I was going to post it but decided against doing so. People will find anything to bitch about on a slow news day. Seems like the media has replaced all real news with infotainment nowadays. Cronkite must be rolling in his grave.

 

I could be wrong but....a bow in japan = a handshake in America right?

 

When in Rome,Do as the Romans!

It is a sign of respect to honor others traditions,not of weakness.

I`m not all Goo Goo over Obama,but at least he`s not actively selling us out at the moment!

 

just another sign that everyone ignores. Japan gets all uptight because we don't visit Hiroshima or Nagasaki, mmm really when they visit Pearl Harbor we'll call it even. :rose:

 

There is another article I read about a town in Japan changing its name to Obama to honor him. Give me a minute to find it.

 

Sort of. Bowing etiquette also includes such fine details as length of bow, depth of bow, times when you must bow more than one time, and other such things.

A handshake is just a handshake. And it doesn't really have a nice historical context. Handshaking evolved out of a need to check whoever you were greeting for a dagger. The earlier handshakes would actually involve the two people gripping at the wrist.

Bowing is... Huh... I don't really know the evolution of bowing. I do know it's extremely rude to shake with the left hand, because traditionally, that's the hand you wipe your ass with.

 

Yeah, we can't have no presidents bowing to emperors can we?

 

Close your noisehole, pawn of the oppressor.

 

Here it is http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23460798/.

 

And Japanese people visit Pearl Harbor all the time. Japan even apologized for attacking it. We apologized for nuking those cities. Both sides are free to visit those locations this very day. Go suck Cheney's cock if you're so in love with Republicans and conservatives. Ijit.

 

He better be bowing to him,,,I'm sure he will ask for more money.:wall:

 

that post shows why you are such the child SilverLycan, no United States President has visited those two cities since 1945 nor has any Japanese Prime Minister visited Pearl Harbor since we both were at war, please can you park you dumb liberal ass to the curb also, thank you. ;-) i am conservative you got that right.

 

Well, yes and no. the origin of a handshake might be to keep oneself safe, but not shaking hands with someone of importance here in America now would be considered very disrespectful. Just as not bowing would be disrespectful in Japan. give the US a few thousand years and maybe the handshake might evolve into a culturally rich gesture. who knows

 

Imperial Couple to visit Pearl Harbor

WASHINGTON (Kyodo) Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko plan to visit Pearl Harbor around July, sources close to Japan-U.S. relations said Sunday.


This right here, you stupid cunt.


Here's the rest of the article.


The visit to the scene of Japan's surprise attack that ushered in the Pacific War would take place on the Imperial Couple's way back from an official trip to Canada planned for this summer, with the Japanese and U.S. governments working to finalize the schedule, the sources said.
Such an event would symbolize the postwar reconciliation between the two countries as no sitting Japanese prime minister has gone to Pearl Harbor. House of Representatives Speaker Yohei Kono visited in December.
The Imperial Couple has a track record of making pilgrimages to war-linked places, including Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Okinawa in 1995 for the 50th anniversary of the end of the war, and Saipan, a commonwealth territory of the United States, in 2005 for the 60th anniversary.
The Emperor and Empress weighed a visit to Pearl Harbor when they made an official trip to the United States in June 1994 and stayed in Hawaii, but decided against it in light of criticism that it would constitute political exploitation of the Emperor.
The sources said the itinerary is being carefully arranged in consideration of other factors, including the couple's health.
The trip this summer will be their first overseas since 2007. Under the latest plan, the Emperor and Empress will unofficially stop over in Hawaii. They will primarily interact with local Japanese-American groups and visit Pearl Harbor during a break, the sources said.


You are so fucking stupid. And yeah, I'm a kid. I'm 21. But I still have more logic and understanding in one of my ass hairs then you have in that aging vessel you call a body.


Ijit.

 

The only reason this bothers me it that it gives the Obama haters some ammunition. They are looking for any excuse they can find to justify the hatred they feel for the President because he is a black, northern liberal who was elected president.

 

"The couple's itinerary does not include a visit to Pearl Harbor,"

keep your name calling to yourself SilverLycan, might i call you just boy. no one cares what you think, if they do or did please tell them to not contact me. thank you.
