presto345- Some people who can't think for themselves believe yasakuni shrine is not evil.

Japanese extremist politicians are amking Japan disliked worldwide with their visit. Be like Germans, show remorse and behave in a manner which shows you learn from your mistakes.

Blimey, the more i hear about Japan the worser it seems.

These stories seem like they come from a third world country, worse than the stories my dad used to tell me about Britain before the war.

Why don't they have a NHS so poor people don't have to worry.…

Isaw about this shrine, when i stayed indoors for an evening, on BBC.

It was beyond belief, terribly war loving, and not a shrine of peace, like some of the Japanese politicians were insisting.

To imagine that politicians in a first world country go could contemplate going to such a…
