Great to see this again. Redux 80's. So these have gotta be the kids from the earlier groups, right?

Handing out food and blankets,remember it well. What PR masterstroke. These morons actually do believe their own BS, no doubt about it. I remember a woman telling me years ago; 'Oh Yakuza never bother ordinary people you know?' Horse s#@! Or the other chestnut; 'on a sunny day a yakuza will walk on the sunny side of the road so ordinary folk can walk in the shade.' Pfffftttt...! What bollocks...
Ask Jake Aldestein what he thinks about these fly blown creeps. Here's a Washington Post article and the more I read it, the angrier I feel toward the FBI and gullible American law enforcement agencies. Completely and utterly hoodwinked.

"Aside from Tokugawa Ieyasu & his mad little attacks against Korea Japan has only once left its shores to fight a war, granted it was a big war."
Overlooked that one completely... You're right it's nonsense. Japan saw it as some sort of misguided duty to subdue the unruly Koreans for years. But it's the way they bayoneted and baby-stomped their way across Asia the is the bone in the throat for Europeans. Made worse by the failure to look at the issue much less apologize for it.

usaexpat/imagawa: Both excellent, intelligent and balanced posts. And I agree with you save one point. It seems to me at least that the core issue of as you say, the Europeans resentment of Japan's position rests not with victor or conquered but moreover Japan's total failure to look at the barbarism of its troops. This has to be looked at for any development as a nation. Barbarity that would make even some Roman conquests look mild and the Romans knew all about barbarism.

outofmydepth: You may not have been here long enough to experience the in-office bullying. There's a method called 'mokusatsu' which means killing someone with silence. I know very few foreigners who can pick it, but I certainly can. It's a unique Japanese form of passive aggression, usually from woman to woman. There's an evil bitch in my office who masquerades as an angel to the administrators and gets away with this to three or four in the same office she likes to bully. Unmarried, short, not cute and with a big axe to grind. See if you can pick it out as it's rife here....

And that's my point exactly. Zero tolerance and at the same time, and educated teaching staff that makes both gets the bullies out of the system until such times as they reform and also makes it acceptable to 'inform' staff of problems. Anyone that thinks standing up and slugging it out will work, has been watching too many movies. This just is NOT the way it works. The bullies are invariably stronger and in ANY confrontation it's a certainty the stronger person wins, period.

nandakandamanda: OK, here's my take on it again. The Scandinavian societies have a pretty good grip in the problem in the schools at least. Your reference to a quasi Stasi society are just silly but I take your point albeit exaggerated. The Canadiens have in some places at least, also dealt with the problem pretty effectively.
As an amateur boxer in the school team, other kids left me alone but that was a very long time ago and as long ago as it was, people don't change so bullying is still around and always will be. My point was this; a rigorously enforced policy of zero tolerance works. This isn't the case in Japanese schools at all. What we see in Japan is a very wishy-washy half hearted attempt to deal with a burgeoning problem.
As for fisticuffs? I learned long ago that there's always someone better, quicker, stronger and the stronger and bigger man wins 99.9% of the time, be it bully versus bullied, boxer versus boxer. Besides, as Ghandi said 'an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.'

sarge/Notginger: enough of the David Goliath stories. Things rarely, if ever pan out like this and only a fool would believe it. The issue is to find sensible ways to curb this problem, not your super boy reminiscences.

What a truly sad state of affairs... Japan has to be walloped with a big stick every time it gets out of line with its inner craving for cultural uniqueness, therefore exemption from common sense. The yukotojos of this world will always be around craving the old days. One wonders if this person is just a foreigner baiting the forum, really the daughter of Japan's most spectacular lunatic, for he was totaly bonkers, or just a lonely rightist with not much else to do? Either way, she's wide of the mark and out of step with both reality and the world. Dream on babe....

What's the best way? Simple... Follow the Scandanavian examples of a 'zero tolerance policy'. Every kid in every school knows it's totally unacceptable and that message is constantly reinforced y the staff, all staff. Listening Mombusho morons?
