you are making a big mistake...
the japanese government was the aggressor not the japanese people that died in the hiroshima and nagasaki bombing..
the people that died were civilians...
so you can call the government and the soldiers aggressors
Sure the Japanese killed many Koreans and Chinese civilians..
but still you cannot call the Japanese civilians that died in the bombing... "aggressors"

I've been forcibly subjected to his work a dozen times over, so I'm no longer very fond of it...h3ro said:
But I have to say that I applaud him for stomping around race.
I so very much dream for a day where nobody feels so insecure that they can accidentally be offended by well-meaning people. Comedy seems like a good starting block.
SA MP looks hilarious.. someone needs to setup a GAF server or something

hey that guy is pretty funny. never heard of him.
Slavik81 said:
Yeah, his shtick gets old after a while.. that was his best show. I've also been to a few he has done around NY, same material pretty much... Its nice to have a fellow Indian guy making fun of everyone else now too, I was getting tired of hearing it from the white dudes and Chris Rock...

Here is his whole set from that show, its definitely worth watching if you have the time...
Youtube - Russel Peters Set
Again though, back OT, I think Shawn needs his own podcast... where he can just talk about Shawn stuff, like griefing TF2, youtube vids and SA Mods... and it would be awesome.... :lol

I guess it was just the way I was raised. As a kid, 'it was just a joke' was a common excuse, but it never ever worked. And when people around here say 'just joking' it means they meant what they said, but they didn't want to hurt your feelings. For example, a classmate of mine asked me 'who cut your hair, stevie wonder?'. He was saying that I had a bad haircut, but I looked at him weirdly (mostly because I didn't hear what he said), so he said 'just joking' to try and soften the insult.farnham said:
Exactly. There are probably people who don't listen to GFW or know of Jeff who may have heard the comment. Just because they don't know that Jeff's not a racist guy mean that they aren't entitled to feel uncomfortable with what he said?farnham said:
I wasn't saying that what Jeff did was wrong, I was just saying that the people who were offended have a right to be.Evonus said:
Excellent cast probably my favorite. Everybody was chill and it was a fun listen.
Couldn't agree more with the comment on being a PC enthusiast as long as your rig can still run the more demanding new games and then switching to console for a while. That's pretty much exactly what I do for new games. I still tend to play older PC games and some new games on low settings., but for the most part shiny new games get bought on console.
As for the edgy humor, I'm so desensitized :lol On the occasion when my heritage is the target of some jokes (even irl) I just don't care. It doesn't change who I am or my immediate opinion about a person, funny is funny.

Can we start having two 1up Yours threads?
One that immediately turn to shit and one for general questions and comments?

this was an EPIC podcast.
LOL at all the sensitive kids on the boards. Chill... out kids.
The podcast is a litnus test.

Thinks he should have been the one to kill Batman's parents.
I much prefer the game-centric episodes of 1UP Yours like this one.
SA MP sounds awesome. I'm not interested in the reality of MMO gameplay, but the some of the exploits of Eve Online players have been intriguing. It seems to me that the GTA universe would be compatible with the corporation/alliance ideas in Eve . . .

Totally, I can't believe people missed the context in which it was said. I read this thread before I got to that part, so I was thinking Jeff Green's explanation might have been because it wasn't explicit, but in the podcast I can't believe that people didn't find it obvious that it was Jeff responding to Garnet, Shawn and David on Japanese developers, and that it was a mock-defeatist exaggeration.

Very enjoyable podcast. GFW Radio crew, please make MK vs DC a topic of discussion in your next podcast.
I used to date a Jewish girl, actually. One time, she asked if she could shave my head off, just to see how it would look (I had really long hair at the time). Growing kind of tired of the shag, I said sure and we set to business. It took quite awhile, but we kind of forgot about the fact that I had a goatee. I ended up looking like Ed Norton from American History X. So for a few weeks, I got to say that my Jewish girlfriend turned me into a skinhead.JeffGreen said:

You people need to get the fuck off Jeff's back, pay attention to the context he makes his remarks in before wigging out.

Eh, I explained what my point was, maybe I should go around with a camera filming myself telling racist jokes to people, to prove that people still get offended by stuff like that.
It's stupid that I have to argue about this, especially since I laughed at that part of the podcast, I got that it wasn't serious, I just found it ridiculous that people attacked a poster who was offended by it.

If you want to know who the Iron Man villan is you can just read the novelization which is already out. I thought it was pretty good (but then again I liked the DC Cox books :\)

I like post-war Japan a lot and I think Japan is one of the US' best allies, but Japan deserved to be nuked. To claim the Holocaust and the nuclear bombing of Japan are morally equivalent is cynical and manipulative. And more so considering that Japan still refuses to fully apologize to China and Korea for what it did to them during the war.
Japanese imperialism was out of control. The US asked Japan to withdraw from China and respect its sovereignty. Japan refused and attacked the US instead because it was hellbent on establishing an East Asian empire.
Study Japan's Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere plan. It called for the subjugation of the entire East Asian region and the establishment of Japanese political and cultural norms throughout it. Look at what Japan did to Korea and how it tried to erase Korean culture. This was not a slightly out of control government, this was fully out of control government, which enjoyed wide support among its citizenry.
And after the fiasco that happened during the interwar period, there was no way the Allies were going to let Japan's government surrender and remain in place, and they shouldn't have. Japan's family state ideology had become warped. Further, the Japanese could've surrendered unconditionally and brought the war to a quiet end, but Hirohito refused because he feared the Allies would force him to step down, and the Japanese government consented to his decision.
As to the actual bombings, the bombing of other cities during the war was equally destructive. One can make the argument that citizens aren't valid targets in war, but if they support their government in waging wars of aggression and they themselves don't respect civilian immunity, why shouldn't they be valid targets? Collectively, they're accomplices to murder, are they not?
And beyond all that, Jeff was making fun of extreme jingoism. If you can't be bothered to analyize a statement within its proper context, we can't be bothered to care about your temper tantrums.
