    What disturbs me is that when a Chinese guy makes a documentary that offends Japanese nationalists or a Japanese guy gets beaten in anti-Japanese riots in China, a dozen guys may show up to a movie theatre or embassy in a black bus and make lots of noise, but when…

    sabiwabi - are you implying:

    1) That clergy in the Catholic Church did not engage in child abuse prior to 1958, and/or

    2) That Pope Benedict might not be God's human telephone hotline to earth?

    If the "true" Catholic Church isn't whatever the hell the Pope says it is, then…

    Muslim bombings, buddhist demonstrations, christian child abuse, and scientology advertisements.

    Japan Today really has it all.

    skipthesong - what "power" does the Roman Catholic Church have that it needs to be stripped of? The only power that I see it as having are the tithes and loyalty of its followers…

    A lot of very familiar sounding nationalist garbage is being said here.

    • Japan is not the only country in Asia where there are protests against Chinese human rights conduct - most free countries in Asia have Tibetan and Falung Gong refugees, and political exiles from China. Look at the…

    Triumvere - agreed, the problem is of Japan, and almost every other country preventing all non citizens from being allowed to vote in local elections.

    Starviking - my point is that historically, prior to Britain's colonies becoming politically independent countries, those Indian, African, Pacific Island, and Asian subjects of the…

    Just as a postscript, South Korean President Lee Myung Bak makes a great illustration in and of himself. According to jerseyboy, he shouldn't even be Korean. Indeed, maybe the fact that his family migrated back to Korea and he did very well there is Japan's loss. Personally, I think it…

    JT and Yongfook - I take it that this thread was more of a bug-fixing survey, and now that the technical bugs have been worked out of the site, and the odd improvement like the Recent Comments Page was restored, that the policy is now simply to wait and expect…

    Nigelboy - Mindan and Chosen Soren both oppose automatic citizenship because it would hurt their membership, and as I recall, Chosen Soren is also opposed to their North Korean members in Japan being granted voting rights in local elections (heaven forbid that they could vote anywhere).

    I don't think that…
