He will be up against Archangel Lucifer, a Queen, a man who can control the weather, and other prophets of God.

Hahahahahahaha...

What an election! Truly out of this world!

But can he make the Jeepneys run on time?

I wonder if you have the chance to experience similar in UK elections.

Many cranks, but of the most well known from my earlier years, and still active as far as I know, is The Official Monster Raving Loony Party .




Sorry for off-topic .......... again

Going to guess as he's in SE Asia, and the nazis happened in Europe that he hasn't really an idea just how bloody offensive this is. I'm basing that on the general ignorance in the UK of massacres in Asia, the killing fields in Cambodia, Mao murdering millions etc, and after asking, this isn't really taught at length in schools there

History classes here in the Philippines are a dull affair. Teachers only teach you about treaties and laws.
Like who signed this, who signed that...
Boring...

They leave out the more interesting bits like how a particular war was won; the tactics and strategies that were used.

They follow modules, as mandated by the religious institutions that handle the school.

I remember back when I was in high-school, we didn't really pay much attention to Hitler and the Nazis. They were just a footnote in our books.

Philippine education is crap.

Hence the person above, donning Nazi symbol...
He doesn't really know what it's all about.

By the way, I actually had a guitar teacher who called himself 'Hitler.'

My old dad would have gotten suitably wound up on seeing that photo in the OP

Seems he actually doesn't know anything about Nazi's or the swastika he's wearing.

I can't say much about the education here in the Philippines, well except it seems to me that geography is unheard of.
I can say that when I lived in Japan most of my generation didn't know anything much about WWII especially the involvement of the Japanese military. Very odd.

You're saying that most of the Japanese people, in Japan, of your generation didn't know much about WWII ??? Were you talking to people who had their head replaced by a cauliflower? How can anyone not know much about world war II ? Specially when you've been the target of a nuclear weapon. . I'm speechless. I wonder why that is? Perhaps its some sort of denial process or a desire not to talk about it.

Looking at the picture I'd say extremely distant gene's

Never mind its taking part that counts, I wonder how he gets on

Could he be any worse than some of the clowns/crooks who have previously occupied the Presidential sala ?

Thats interesting. I hadn't realized that the events of the war were not widely mentioned in Japan. Following your post a read an interesting article about it here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21226068

It was quite a surreal experience. There are many aspects of Japanese education that surprised me.
Also many aspects of Japanese culture I couldn't get to grips with at first.
The thing is it's difficult to get answers to probing questions because they simply can't get why such questions get asked.

That's interesting and strangely sad. Both my wife @BlueberryCheeseCake and I are interested in world war II. We're currently on our second sitting through the series 'the world at war' and Ive built up a collection of books on the subject over the years. Have you read the 'knights of bushido'?

No I haven't read that book.
My uncle (dads brother) was a taken by the Japanese to a POW camp in Burma. He was treated very badly but survived.
I heard many stories.

When I first went to live in Japan my dad was very upset for a long time and would never discuss anything about my life there.

Over the years I began to understand a little as to how such inhumane behaviour might happen.
Most of the older guys who were in the military were extremely reluctant to open up to me.

If I'm honest I enjoyed my life in Japan hugely and found the Japanese people to be polite, gracious and generous.
I liked them.

I've never lived in Japan. I've had the opportunity in the past but the work hours ethic in my field frankly put me off. Many of the employees in the Tokyo branch of the bank where I worked would be routinly at work until 11pm.

That's not too unusual if there are pressing tasks.
Still leaves time for a team dinner, karaoke and general booze-up a couple of hours sleep and back to the grindstone

When I joined my Japanese company that was how I learned the term "power nap". We had a Japanese guy come in to transfer our production system to a new Unix server about 12 years ago. We had to stay on-site with him for H&S reasons, think it was around 2am when I walked in the server room to see if he wanted any food/drink, he was slumped over the keyboard sleeping, I think I must have made a noise when I opened the door, he was a little startled, sat up in his chair, reviewed the monitor and proceeded to type again, he wasn't hungry either.

The late Freddie Clemo MBE who was the doyen of the British community in Manila had been a POW in Japan from his capture at the fall of Hong Kong on Christmas day 1941. He and his colleagues were used as slave labour in the Mitsubishi shipyard at Nagasaki. Survived the bomb as he was in a valley.

He used to delight in embarrassing Japanese visitors by leaving them unsure whether he had been a POW or not. This was his subtle form of revenge.

The whole subject of history is 100% politics, anywhere in East Asia. Governments, and in the case of the Philippines the Church, keep an iron grip on what is written in text books. Remember that Asian cultures, without exception, value obedience and cohesion over individual initiative.

A Chinese and a Japanese history of WW2 do not appear to be discussing the same event. For the Japanese, the main event was the dropping of atomic bombs in a peace loving nation by the cruel Americans.
