    Nope, I meant that the Constitution Article.9 does not limit her defense power. Plus as victoria3188 said so, every human have the defense right. It is clear and so understood in our Diet.

    Did you know that the Article 9. is not purely agreed and arranged by all the Japanese? And the Japanese do have right to deffend for it when she is attacked.

    I said we are not prepared for the worst case scenario, that means terrorists group. Do not laugh, still a possible worst case in this far east. We do not have anti-espionage law, the current government was accusing LDP and deny this idea when it's discussed. Or simple patriotic behaviour is always denied by some permanent residents already. You are free to recommend anything to us but as long as you keep your original nationality, I can't say yes to such sweet talks without preparing for the worst cases, ultimately you are always free to return to your mother country, we will always be here and responsible for the mess.

    Just imagine one very small village where only elderly people live. One day so many non-nationals (or the bunch of one particular nation) gathered to this village after the government grant local voting rights. 1,000 votes is enough to become the village head and what will happen if such non-nationals exceed 1,000? Anyone can establish an enclave. And what will happen if this enclave pledges to one particular nation? Cannot grant local voting rights without preparing for the worst case scenario. And in Japan, freedom of speech and choice of residents are granted for any nationals as long as they obey the local rules and laws.

    Duty of paying tax and voting rights to local/ national election should not be discussed on the same ground. Because paying tax means the same as fee for the public services all the residents enjoys and shared. On the contrary, voting rights is to control and manage the governing of the nation. If an residents seek to participate the governing, they need to be the nationals to be truly responsible for the fate of his/ her own nation. I see no reason of giving voting rights to someone who keeps nationality of other country, means she/ he must primarily be responsible for its own country, not where they resides now.
