    It is his right and no outsider is going to dictate what he can do in his own country under the law.

    And it is the right of everyone who wants to complain and protest these actions as well, and if it means that Japan suffers internationally, economically, or anything else because of it, everyone can look back and point to Abe and every other selfish politician who childishly through a hissy fit about their rights instead of using common sense.

    Hey if it was right under the law to murder someone it's the same thing right?

    Those war criminals are dead. We have to pray for those people. they did wrong but they have a soul. tralala

    Funny thing, many Japanese I have heard often like to say their ancestors are in heaven looking down on them, but with these guys I wonder if their ancestors say they are looking up at them from hell?

    It is a sad statement about society here when people have to commit a crime to get something to eat.

    Race: (noun 2) A group of persons related by common descent or heredity. A population so related. (www.dictionary.com) Yep, he's a racist.

    You do realize, wait maybe you don't because you wrote this here, Japanese and Korean are related by common descent and heredity,

    So you are calling Hashimoto a racist against his own race. Interesting concept.

    “I think it’s quite natural for a Japanese leader to offer prayer for those who sacrificed their lives for their country, and I think this is no different from what other world leaders do,” he said.

    Quite so, and I would think him heartless if he didn't. However there is no need to do it at Yasukuni, he could just as easily do it at some other shrine or temple if he so desired.

    Every Japanese is entitled to a basic pension (whether they claim it or not) and many old Japanese people actually supplement their income with activities like collecting cans and bottles, so they don't need a part time job

    You make it sound so easy, and if it was all these guys would be collecting it that's for sure. However, sad as it is, they are only entitled to the pension if, and it's a HUGE if, they have a stable address and fill out the proper paperwork with the local municipality that they live in. That is one of the biggest complaints against the current system here. Many if not most of the homeless have no address, and no chance of getting one either. It's not as simple as you make it sound.

    Next:

    if they go to a mansion block on the morning of can pick up, they could easily get 20 or 30 bags - ¥9000 for 10 minutes work is not bad at all,

    This is a huge assumption as well, but for discussion sake here alone, and putting aside all the other misconceptions you have here, what's to keep everyone else from going after the same cans? You make it sound like there is only one guy here, there are tons of folks doing the same thing, and plenty that drive around in their kei trucks picking up recyclable goods at all hours of the day or night on trash days or otherwise.

    It's a first come first serve thing, and this guy doesnt look like he has wheels to get around with. You try to pain a rosy picture but it just isn't so.

    Next:

    And the people who are getting hurt are, assumingly, the people who are forced to recycle (or face a fine) by the city in which they reside. The reason cities ask people to recycle is because they then can sell the cans, and also generate money back into the city. The recycling industry also provides jobs, and at the end of the day it is the hard working city-residents (who are the ones funding it with their hard-earned city tax) funding it all. Thats you and me - and you should feel angry about it. They are stealing from you and your tax money directly, and I bet they are not declaring their earnings either.

    Which costs more? It's not these guys that are costing the city money that they budgeted with recycling in mind. It's the guys in their trucks that go all over the place on trash day making their living off of the recyclable goods that people put out in their trash. Guys like this do it to get some food, to live, not to profit from.

    Open your eyes. Which would you rather have? The city helping to keep the homeless fed and taken care of? Or put the profiteers out of business?

    Next:

    If these people are genuinely homeless, they have my sympathies, but there are various programmes in Japan to help them. I know, because I have volunteered for such organizations before. The problem is some of them just do not want help, and prefer to live this way instead. Those who DO want help are not homeless for very long.

    If you have truly helped the homeless there is no way you can make such a blanket statement. You talk about the exceptions to the rule. Yes there are programs, but you make it sound like they can be found everywhere in the country. They don't! Yes some locations have them, not everywhere, and the problems that many of these homeless people have go beyond just needing a place to live or a meal to eat. The list is too long to put here

    Finally:

    It seems to me that you put the blame on the homeless for their situation, and want to whitewash the problem away and to assuage your own feelings about the issue and problem by your saying you "helped" out and did your part.

    What is wrong with, or why belittle this guy, or make him look like a criminal, for fighting to live among others in a country that should have NO homeless what so ever. But then that isn't reality either is it?

    Well.. suggesting that the rape and exploitation of other countries women are a "necessary evil" for the comfort of the Japanese soldiers seems pretty damn racist to me.

    Do you even know the meaning of the word "race" or "racist" vs the meaning of the word "nationality"?

    If all the women who were being discussed by Hashimoto were Caucasian or Black, I might agree with you depending upon the situation. However Korean's and Japanese are for the most part of the SAME race. I would think that it goes without saying that certainly their cultures and languages are different but you seem not to understand the difference when you call him a racist.

    His mentor Ishihara is racist, that is well documented, Hashimoto may very well be one as well, but so far he hasn't made "racist" comments YET. (I do say give him time though)

    Japanese is not a race! It's a nationality. You seem to be confusing the two and misinterpreting the meaning of the word.

    People who recycle (put out their cans on the correct day, etc) are doing so under the order of the city they live in, and the city are the ones who pay for collection. These guys should not be praised for what they are doing.

    First off you assume that all cities and districts are the same, they are most definitely not. Yes some locations have regulations against people picking up the trash for their own profit because the city counts on the recycle income to help cover the costs of trash removal.

    However, not all locations have those regulations, notice I said regulation and not law? Next you assume that this guy collected these cans from locations where it is against the regulations. How do you know this to be a fact? Were you out there with him, checking up on him? For all you know someone may have given him those bags of cans. I know I have given my cans to a local guy who needs it? Why couldnt this guy be the same?

    Instead of begrudging someone a chance for a few coins, why not help them instead of complain about them?

    , then don´t say all countries, just be specific which countries he meant.

    If you understand English, and last time I checked this board is in English, you would understand the meaning of what I wrote.

    I only reply here out of courtesy to your numerous posts about this and add, you seem to me to be like so many others and focus only on one word or phrase and fail to look at the bigger picture. You nit-pick about one point. Like I've said before, you only see one tree, when there is a forest right before your eyes!

    Have a nice day...over and out!

    Example of his racism would be?

    On this I have to agree. So far it seems he hasn't made an overt comments nor statements that would suggest he is racist, however his mentor and co-leader of the party is very much the racist.

    I would say it's just a matter of time before Hashimoto manages to step into this one too.

    The uproar over Hashimoto’s comments, and Nishimura’s predicament, typify the difficulties Japanese politicians can create for themselves when commenting on sensitive topics without considering how those outside their own circles might react.

    The understatement of the year, and typical for Japanese politicians of all parties and not just limited to Ishin-no-kai either!

    Like face-palm time here....

    @ YUBARU Philippines nor Vietman were only victims here, can you give examples why they should be blame as well?

    Nope I wont, and you know why? Because people are just looking for excuses or reasons, to justify their own position, and refuse to focus on the topic at hand JAPAN!

    Put an article here talking about these other countries and different situations and I will gladly discuss them, until then no I wont.

    The British army officially approved of officers and men visiting brothels during WW1 and even provided medical assistance to the prostitutes. They thought the men would fight harder if they had sex.

    So?

    Read this, if you dare, about how the South Korean government operated brothels and how hookers made 25% of the countries GDP. And don't kid yourself, thousands of girls were forced into it. And if the US army was issuing "STD Free" cards to the prostitutes it is the same as being officially sanctioned

    So again?

    The French Foreign Legion had officially organized brothels until 1990.

    So what?

    Adding things like this just makes everything look like an excuse to justify your own actions and the actions of the IJA at the time.

    So if I rape you, it's ok right! Why you ask? Because to use your logic, these other folks around the world are doing it as well so it makes it alright for me to do it to you too!

    I highly doubt that you would accept it as a reason and would want justice too!

    And yes, I believe it needs to be taken down to the personal level, because everyone who is making excuses for the IJA and their actions, including Hashi-nut case-moto,, are using the excuse because "others" did it, before or after doesnt matter, just that they used hookers, it makes what the Japanese did as no big deal!

    I doubt the doubters or naysayers can do this, but put yourself in their, these women' position. Imagine for a moment the pain , suffering, humiliation, degradation and lord knows what else, are you going to sit here and say "hey it's cool, they paid me a ton of cash.......be for real!

    Japanese more than half, comfort women 's three million monthly salary.

    While this will definitely get deleted, I will ask you anyway.

    Are you willing to be used and abused for 3 million yen a month, even though you never asked for it nor wanted it in the first place?

    You think that money justifies the actions? You think that because they were paid, better than their "customers" it makes what happened ok? Getting paid justifies it?

    Sick....sick, sick, sick, nothing more I can say.

    You hit the nail directly on the head. The rest of the world knows not to judge an entire country on the rants of a lunatic.

    Tell that to China and NK.

    Vassal state means a state with varying degrees of independence in its internal affairs but dominated by another state in its foreign affairs and potentially wholly subject to the dominating state

    This definition does not fit what was occurring in the Ryukyu Islands at the time. They were paying tribute to BOTH Satsuma and the Chinese Imperial Court as well. Possession is 9/10th's of the law.

    China loses.

    Wait, it was the IMPERIAL Chinese court, so, if one is to take this argument to it's next logical step, for China to have any legitimate claim on the Ryukyu Kingdom, both must revert to their former status.

    Again, ain't gonna happen, Japan 1 China 0

    Why doesn't the U.S. military regret the fact that the American base commander made efforts to make Japan build whorehouses or "Japanese had to build whorehouses for the occupying forces as to protect the majority of Japanese women"? Many Japanese will be satisfied if this question is satisfactorily answered.

    Well I guess Thunderbirds link does matter here. KappNets it was the Japanese who built and ran the whorehouses during the initial phases of the occupation immediately following Japan's defeat in WWII.

    The Vice-PM figured that the American's were just like the Japanese and wanted places to go to get "comforted", PLUS his goal was to protect the "upper-class" women of Japan at the time from potential abuse and rape.

    Read your own history a bit before pointing fingers elsewhere. Two wrongs do NOT make a right!

    It was not the beginning of colonization as you mentioned

    Read what I wrote again. I never mentioned "colonization". Not once, nowhere.

    Before Meiji restoration, Ryuku was free as bird.

    Tell that to the "hostage" king! You are skipping over a number of important details, but whatever, still won't change the fact that Okinawa is a part of Japan and will continue to be.

    China can go cry about it somewhere else.
