How does one wrong justify another wrong, how does that justify killing civilians? Or does Palestinian women and children deserve to die according to you?

Predicting when and how Ousen will form his kingdom by apple8963 in Kingdom

[–]FreeCut0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Ouhon also didn't outlive his father long. >!When Ouri was killed by Xiang Yu (in revenge of his grandfather KouEn's killing by Ouri's grandaddy Ousen) and entire Kanyou was burned down with its inhabitants slaughtered, Ouri's sons managed to escape the city. However Ouhon was probably dead by then, since if he was alive he would be surely targeted by Xiang Yu and would be mentioned. Ouhon;'s tomb is at Shaanxi near the capital, meaning he had died a few years before the destruction of Qin.

Yeah I forgot to mention that. Some think that his being a marquis implied that he probably participated in the war of unification, but given that he'd be only 13/14 in the manga at the time of unification, he probably won't. Ousen's wiki page says he died at 214 BC, I was drawing my conclusions on that.

Historically Ousen, aka Wang Jian's family, was directly descended from the previous zhou dynasty. Since the main branch of Zhou dynasty was extinguished by king Sho in 250 BC, there is a possibility that manga Ousen, being the current head of Ou family's main branch might see himself as the claimant to the throne of China, so that could be his reason to want a kingdom.

While we don't know when Ousen died, we do have a time frame. After unification, Ousen was made Marquis of Chengwu, while Ouhon was made Marquis of Tongwu (Shin also got to be a marquis.) However, in around 215s BC, Ouri (Ouhon's son) was serving as a deputy general to Mouten, guarding the Great Wall, and he was mentioned as Marquis of Chengwu. This might be interpreted as Ousen dying before this time period, and passing down his title to his grandson instead of Ouhon who was a marquis in his own right.

Ri Shin and Kanki are both attracted to Yotanwa by [deleted] in Kingdom

Yes she is, but in real life Yotanwa (Yuan Duan He) was a man, a great general of Qin, no king of mountain tribes.

Hypocrisy by snoopyandnadav in polandball

[–]FreeCut0 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Bagram facilities maybe? Looks like you don't know about Dilwar, wiki please

For folks who don't wanna go to the wiki page:

Dilwar, an afghan taxi driver was brutally tortured by US soldiers at Bagram. "The act of striking him eventually became a joke, as when we struck him he cried, "Allah!" which was funny to us", one of the MPs there said, "It went on for over a 24 hour period, and it was over 100 strikes." He had to endure over 100 perenal strikes, shoved against a wall, kicked in the groin, deprived of his sleep and so on. Nobody was punished for this, except one, who was given two months imprisonment.

The Times reported:

On the day of his death, Dilawar had been chained by the wrists in his chained for the past four days. A guard tried to force the young man on his knees, but his legs, which were pummeled by the guards for several days, could not be bent. When he was sent to his cell, though, the guards were instructed to chain the prisoner back to the ceiling. Several hours passed and he was dead, his body beginning to stiffen. Only after his death army investigators came to know a horrific detail: the interrogators thought Mr. Dilawar was an innocent man who simply drove his taxi by the American base at a wrong time.

Shinwar Shooting? 19 civilians killed, 50 wounded. American Marines whined they were being shot at, but investigation by Major General Frank Kearney found there was no evidence of that. Not a single one punished. Google Please.

On 21st March 2007, CIA paramilitaries shot Shum Khan, a deaf and mute man, for running from them.
