    There is documentation of people responding to the advertisements, which were in my view clear,

    So they detailed how many soldiers per day, the inability to refuse the sex, the lack of vacations, the payments in valuless scrip that would never be exchanged for yen?

    of women that people being sent back when it was found that they had been duped regarding the nature of their work

    Yes. And the problem is that some people try to make us believe that since some were sent back, then all who wanted to go back were sent back which is just a very stupid way of thinking, if they actually believe that junk themselves.

    However, to argue that the Japanese goverment systematically and deliberately

    Well, the government certainly did know that the military was invading China, Korea, the Phillipines, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, etc, and knew it was attacking Pearl Harbor and Darwin. They knew that people were dying like flies! So I don't understand what is so hard for you accept about knowing that women were being systematically raped. And I am not saying they all did, but surely the military did, and that is enough to blame the government, as they are responsible for the military.

    and the Japanese people that tacitly condoned such actions

    Oh come on! There was no free press! Most people back home had no idea, and the soldiers had their minds twisted and tweaked to kill and otherwise be violent like all soldiers do. Rape is always a part of war. It used to even be traditional! Once you have trained soldiers to mercilessly kill people they never even met, getting them to rape is not such a leap. Its harder to get them not to rape actually.

    Please provide some evidence that the overwhelming majority of foreign women were forced into it.

    There is the same kind of evidence that Jerry Sandusky sexual abused boys: testimony from the victims. When you have so much of that sort of evidence, you really don't need physical evidence, although it helps. There is lots of evidence. Its just that suddenly some people want to make believe that victim testimony no longer counts.

    All of them are typing a mail to one of their female friends asking "Why don't I have a boyfriend?"

    Be friendlier in public? There was a time when you could actually talk to a strange woman in public!

    Changing names at this point

    Like Clinton, you are partly correct. A spade should be called a spade. A comfort woman was a comfort woman, and a sex slave was a sex slave. One is not the other, and anyone using the term "comfort woman" to describe both, was and is hiding the sex slaves and the facts, then, as now, and they know it.

    The reason why this should not be legitimized is the massive potential for abuse.

    You could make a similiar video, put it up somewhere claiming to be a certain person, then snitch and get that person arrested. And even if that person gets an innocent verdict in court, can you imagine how much trouble it would cause? Even if the person were just arrested, investigated and let go, it would cause that person so much trouble. Catching this person was not worth the precedent, the cost, or the potential trouble.

    People who claim to be God are either impersonators or comedians.

    Pretty much how Jesus wound up on a cross isn't it?

    I think the Christians are just miffed at losing members.

    Since everyone from the BOE to the police have been doing their best to sweep this under the rug, I approve of this bomb threat. My outside action continue to escalate until justice is served.

    NO NATION HAS EVER "APOLOGIZED" FOR THE "RAPING" OF WOMEN DURING WAR.

    Sort of missing the point. This is not about apologizing or admitting random rapes by random soldiers. The point is about apologizing and admitting an established system of rape created and perpetrated by the military, and by extention, the government.

    Well, Clinton is partly right and partly wrong. Some comfort women were comfort women. They chose the work and they got paid. Other women were sex slaves, as they were forced, tricked, raped and/or paid much too little or not at all.

    Until both sides acknowledge that there were both comfort women and sex slaves, and accurately differentiate between the two, this issue will just keep going in circles.

    14 years might not be enough, but I am thankful that crudballs like this are finally going to jail for some time at least. Used to be they got away with it totally.
