nigelboy,
thats easy, go back to my post at 12:01 & read it, see, thats no different than what you do all the time, you go off & find some link, statement, a blurb somewhere, well now my 12:01 does as well as any of the stuff you dig up.
As to whether thats how we each perceive reality, hey we each get to decide that one! Me personally I tend to give little weight to most of the crap J-govts have put out over the decades, compared to what went down it tends to be most unreliable, but hey if you want to believe THAT tooth fairy go ahead, oh & happy new year!

nigelboy,
you need to learn the difference between ""in principle"" & "" in reality"", you keep harping about documents, statements & the like but totally ignore the reality of whats happening/going on. Japan put a HUGE damper on the entire 6party talks, on ALL THE TALKS back when those abductees surfaced. To an extent thats forgiveable considering the sudden turn of events, but down the road Japan totally sabotaged further progress, thats the REALITY of it.

pretty sure most of this took place in the 70s not at the end of WWII
Nicky,
I dont think its likely nk keep many accurate records or keep track where many are buried, cremated or whatever, so who knows if they were out to lie about the bones from the start or whatever, who thing is a mess for sure, likely no end in sight unfortunately

man its painful enough watching Japan screw this issue up & mess up the nuke talks etc, but now by adding 7 more committees that will mess things up even more than usual by a factor of 7, this non-sense will actually pretty much ensure nothing further happens, no new info etc

I am all for being on the look out for remains when out in the field so to speak, but this action now,...........its just for show, superficial with very low chance of success, at some point you just have to accept reality & we have passed that point.
So by all means those out there doing all this, thank you & keep your eyes out while your out there cleaning up etc.
Its time for reality to kick in wrt all this, need to stop putting on a show for the TV cameras pls.

wandakun, MelonBM,
your wasting your time with nigelboy, he thinks some documents trump the realities of what happened on the ground, he isnt interested in things like the horrible environments they were in etc, if some document says they had the luxury to choose their fututres then it must be true, thankfully most know otherwise

OK I can understand why Japanese are ticked about abducted Japanese, but I wonder why Japanese seem so clueless as to why there are so many Koreans in Japan & just how all that came about.................go figure

Clearly this is the ONLY option for this waste, the land is all worthless from a market standpoint, pay the owners enough to cover any mortgages etc so they can make a fresh start in a place of their choosing.
Heck if there is enough space they can also use it for waste from the rest of Tohoku that can be re-built.
This has to be permanent & the govt cant BS saying its temporary, clearly there is going to be a large area where effectively people will no longer live, time to face that fact & get on with it.

kinda amazed at the number of people here who seem to think that if someone gets drunk & passes out its ok to assault/rape them, WTF!
Now assuming it happened the way its written above this goof shud be locked up for a long time, end of story.
And for christ sakes female students shudnt have to worry about the teachers attacking them, messed up, probably due to all the rape videos out there, clearly some j-guys think this is normal behavior
