What Hashimoto says is the truth. War is war and always women are prone to be raped as are men and children as well. It happened in all fronts during WWII.

It is ridiculous to think that armies don't allow their soldiers to pay for sex. During WWII ALL armies had some sort of prostitution control and organization in order to protect the soldiers' health. There was one exception: US. Right, the US Armed Forces care very little about what their men did during leaves and that's why Hawaii was a center of venereal dissemination all around the Pacific . But it was not only Hawaii but Los Angeles and San Francisco too. There are several articles regarding this theme in this site http://www.exordio.com/1939-1945/civilis/vdomestica/prostitucion.html Articles are in Spanish but could be translated..

Hmmmm. I have visited most South America countries, including Chili, and honestly I doubt they have any special local dish, at least nothing to be remembered. They mostly copy recipes from Peru and Argentina. There are good international restaurants in Chili but the best ones are Peruvian owned.

Yes, after some 25+ years of computer work I have all the symptoms clearly explained in the article. This should be exposed at schools along with exercises to avoid such problem. I think it will help if you hang a mirror in front of your desk in order to constantly see how your face looks after hours of deep concentration in front of the screen. Too late for me though.

@SquidBert Don't worry about me. You must be worried about yourself. Get GoogleClean and see what they do in your machine.

No thanks. Google sniffs our private life cause they have control of our M$ OS. Imagine what will they do with their own hardware/software.

He used the same drugs and blood-boosters used by the Spanish soccer team. So, what's the deal.

By the way, google $22,067 and you will find a lot more useful things anyone can buy at that price.

@blackrock Plasma is ancient technology, i.e. obsolete. The current up to date technology is LED. Now regarding the price, US$22,067 is quite a lot of money for just a TV, even if the two girls are included as well.

Maybe in Japan young people have found other interests. The article's last sentence might contain the clue: it says: "Or maybe they’ve just got other outlets." In many western countries drugs wins on sex, so why not in Japan? And by the way, alcohol and smoking are drugs too.

Those dramatic figures should be related to idiosincracy and culture. In Latinamerica, due to lack of jobs, thousands fall in extreme poverty yearly but they don't commit suicide. They simply try to survive as best as they can.

Japan needs the marines strong presence, because the political situation in Europe and Asia will be critical for the next 15 or so years. The strategic position of Okinawa is now as important as it was during WWII. But it is really an annoyance to have a foreign military force in the country.

@lucabrasi It is obvious that you don't know the truth about terrorism in Peru. Read something here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism_in_Peru

Furthermore Hidetaka Ogura is a leftist that lied the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights court that, by the way, is a redoubt of communists and terrorist prone people. They defend the human rights of terrorists but never the rights of innocent people killed by those insane criminals.
