Everyone knows that it's difficult to answer this question. Also, I believe everyone doesn't want to see too many unnecessary violent scenes in a movie or TV program, because such things are just nasty. So, if today's movie producers cannot restrict themselves from shooting too many violent scenes, the government…

Everyone should understand that territorial conflicts cannot be so easily solved. And there's no possibility of Japan's using her military force to solve this problem (though S. Korea has already used her military force to control the island). For Japan, doing it will just increase tension and only damage her…

Youdontknow, You really don't know the complexity of this issue. What Hatoyama is doing is 100% legal. Some ministers of Justice in the past have just been reluctant to sign an order to do execution. So, no one can say Hatoyama's conduct is ilegal.

If you are against death penalty,…

Hatoyama's position seems to be supported by many Japanese, as major crime is on the increase, in these years. On the other hand, it should be reported that some Diet members are discussing the possibility of introducing the new penalty level of "life imprisonment" that has not existed in Japanese…

Yes, I understand that Japan is not in a position to decide what the S. Korean government do. It's their freedom. Do they dispatch corps to the island? Do they build a hotel on the island for the tourism of excited patriotic people from all over Korea? Everything is at…

biblic,

"the territorial conflict made by Japan is getting more intense and widespread, yielding another counter-territorial request from Korea".

So, the issue is disputed, and disputable, as I wrote. I am happy to know that you chose to widthdraw the previous old-Japanese-militant-like, imperialistic, arbitrary and selfish statement.

I know it's…

bibric,

"Second, the territorial issue is an indisputable one for the possessor."

Ha, ha, ha. This is just nonsense. If there's someone (even only one in the world) who disputes it, it's disputable for anyone. Even if someone can say "it's indisputable", it is just a sheer false statement. Ha,…

Oh, "5. Everyone in Japa knows it cannot be solved in near future" is correct.

Dear all, One interesting solution to this issue: Known facts: 1. S. Korea's and Japan's opinions are completely different. 2. S. Korea refused to discuss it at ICJ. 3. The Japanese constitution prohibits her to solve any diplomatic issues by military action. 4. Compared to the strong reactions by S.…

genjuro is correct. Japan already insisted on her rights about the island, when 李承晩(Syngman Rhee) drew his arbitrary, selfish territory line called Rhee Syngman's Line, and annexed Takeshima to S. Korea. Since then, Japan has proposed to solve the issue at ICJ.

I can understand S. Korea has her different…
