Really, Abe? What, were you jealous of all the attention Hashimoto was getting?

I think it is the fact they call it 'a right' that is causing the problems.…

So just because people are old they should start murdering each other? I fail to understand your logic.

It was a metre long bear... not a giant slavering monster with drool dripping from its blood stained fangs...
Wait a sec... how many of those who advocate the bear being shot are Americans for whom hunting bears and other wild animals is a rite of passage?

You sound just like Hashimoto now. Read the section I took from Wiki... after the brothels were closed down the US servicemen started raping women. Whether Wiki are citing lies I don't know, but I took it to be factual.
Again, not meaning to turn this around, but I felt I had to reply to Chucky's Hashimoto-esque rant.

I don't think any of here for a moment condone what Hashimoto is saying, but the stuff about the rapes in the early years of the occupation of Japan does make your stomach turn. American and French forces also gang-raped over 11,000 women in occupied Germany. Of course this has nothing to do with Hashimoto's remarks, but seen in context you can start to see why he would say what he said.
Don't get me wrong, I despise the man to his very core... I just wanted to perhaps illustrate where he's getting his ideas about US rapes from.
Personally I have always thought that there was something rather nasty about the US attitude towards the Japanese during the war, as if they saw them as sub-human. After all, US forces would call the Japanese monkeys for some reason, and the allied war effort was against Japan as a nation, unlike in Europe where the war effort was to defeat the Nazis.
This is all probably off topic, but I just wanted to shove my opinion in.

Just found this on Wiki...
Just threw this in to widen the debate a wee bit. It doesn't justify any of Hashimoto's comments, but does expand the argument a bit.

You're all heart...
I'm pretty sure the bear could have been darted and released in another area free from people.
Sounds like they cornered the poor bear... and he was only a metre long? That's tiny! I was expecting something like a brown bear, you know, man size. Big brave bear hunters...

That must have been a horror story in there... did he murder the mum first then go after the kids? This is horrible. RIP Shino and your children.

So unless a person actively goes out of their way to condemn something in public you assume they agree with it?

It isn't Japan that is saying the hurtful things - it's scum like Ishihara and Hashimoto. By generalising you are insulting the people of Japan. By all means hurl abuse at the politicians and apologists on the right, but leave the ordinary man and woman on the street out of it.

Wow, so many music experts.
I'd rather listen to Japanese female pop singers than any number of rap, R&B or wet boy band stuff any day.

So turn on those in power, not my friends and loved ones, or the rest of the Japanese people.

I'll never understand how people can kill members of their own family. Yes, we all fall out and argue, but to KILL?
RIP Sachiko.

Yes it has... or what would be 'sufficient remorse'? Sacrificing the first born? Everyone in Japan signing a big card saying 'sorry'?
And they are right - no other reason to keep on about it. It's purely political... a smokescreen for their own broken societies and corrupt governments. Japan has become SE Asia's whipping boy. Got a problem in your country? Blame it on Japan's war record. Easy to do and costs less than a press conference.

After the attacks on Japanese women and girls in Okinawa this piece of crap piles on even more hurt onto the island female population. Kick him into touch now... he really does need to be silenced.

There are girls and young women in Glasgow starting to dress in Loligoth gear... not so much the normal Loli stuff, just the black and red gear with stuffed bunnies and silly little hats... oh and lots of frills. Sorry, but it IS kind of cute. (Prefer maids myself lol)

That's standard practice on all Japanese military aircraft... last three digits repeated at the front, even if they start with a zero.

I posted a link to a photo of the aircraft. The 731 is on the nose, the full code is towards the rear of the plane. The numbers seem to be mostly in the 720s.
