CH3CHO - You keep clinging to that sorry little interrogation report of 22 people which STILL exposes how women were lured away from their homes by lies of other work. Whether these 20 women were actually paid or not has no bearing on the countless thousands that were rounded up like cattle and forced into sex slavery.
If you are Japanese, it might be interesting to look at Germany, their full admission of guilt in the holocaust, and their great relations with former enemies today. Thats what an adult does.

Fds - makes good sense to you to kidnap then repeatedly rape girls till death, does it? Do you really imagine Japanese soldiers didn't feel the need to rape with "comfort stations" around? Look up the word "Nanking" on google and ask the women there how pleasant the troops were.

CH3CHO - thanks for the report. It sums up nicely the fact that the overwhelming majority of the sex slaves were forced into it on false pretenses by the Japanese Army. Did you have some sort of point to make?

zomafumi - read this statement from the above story again. It is clear you are ignoring it;
its quite clear that you and a few others on this thread refuse to acknowledge the truth..

Zomafumi - no one has said only Japanese soldiers raped during the war. But ONLY Japan had a govt run program to force women from conquered nations to b raped over and over again by its soldiers. Not even Russia, whose soldiers raped women all over Germany, had such a brutal program. This is what you and Hashimoto fail to understand. What other country openly supported the rape of women? None.

Zomafumi - hashimoto IS justifying Japan's well documented sex slavery by creating a myth that every other country has done so. He is a scumbag X2

this thread shows the futility of trying to argue with Japanophiles and self-loathing westerners when it comes to anything negative about Japan.

If you are going to talk about how the Japanese feel maybe you should pay attention to the country a little better.
upgrayed - mealy-mouthed statements like "this could cause a regrettable misunderstanding" are not rebukes. Not one elected official or government spokesperson has had the guts to properly set hashimoto straight.

What a sad relection on Japan that this little man can still deny Japanese war atrocities and not only escape judgement by fellow Japanese, but probably enjoy even greater popularity within the country.
Maybe even sadder still is the collective shrug of the shoulders by the international community which goes to show just how far Japan has fallen off the radar.

If it was said by one of their elected officials, absolutely.

Thunderbird2 - since very few people in Japan outside of a women's group in Okinawa have complained about Hashimoto's remarks, or Ishihara's constant racism, and indeed keep voting them back into office, Japan IS saying these hurtful things. The "ordinary man and woman on the street" is culpable if they don't have the integrity to speak up against these animals.

Yup, the time honored Japanese reaction to criticism; "everybody does it". If its related to the war, either deny it happened at all or create new history where all govt's systematically forced women into sex slavery.

keroyan52 - Wow, I guess "thorough" research hadn't occurred to anyone yet? A very naive statement which is just another in the long, sad line of history denial.

TimTak - Your usual western self-loathing is one thing, but excusing and denying the forcible rape of thousands of women is beyond disgusting

Nigleboy at it again. Denying the existence of sex slaves because they either didn't live through the savage rapes or of old age after the war. Pretty easy to deny their existence after you've killed them all eh?

Incredible, even for this scumbag. First, the apologists will have us believe there were no such thing as "comfort women", now they not only existed, but were necessary to maintain discipline. I see that worked out well during the orgy of rape and murder in Nanking, among other atrocities.
