Poorly researched article with some ludicrous comments thrown in at the end. The sampling of 10 families by Pierpoint - 38 persons, to be exact - is not near enough to draw any conclusive evidence of a specific problem with all wind farms. One would want to know if there…

No surprise. Looking at Afghanistan's history the only surprise is that anybody would have wanted to invade again. Many tried and were smashed or couldn't control the country. Among others the Persions tried. The English tried twice and left humiliated. The Russians - ditto. All of them with superior numbers…

Latest news? That happened last Thursday, August 20 and was in the local print media August 21 and 22. I am pretty sure that they will get him for damages. Even he is no back in Japan there is always the embassy. And even in Japan you have signs and…

My posts are on topic. The underlining suggestion is that there wouldn't be such a big dispute or fuzz if all victims were non-Americans. History shows that there is no such thing as "justice for all" in the American psyche.

I wrote ...mere "oriental human beings" not "mere oriental human beings". Visually easy to overlook but big difference. I suggest that you google "oriental human beings" to learn where this phrase comes from. Don't forget to include the quotation marks. The origin of this phrase also explains my "slight…

The film maker is getting flack here from everybody because of his naive amateurish approach, I-can-do-anything-I'm-a-film maker attitude and utter lack of knowledge (gee..what's a war criminal?) and qualification to be making a "documentary" on the subject.

Yep, that's about it. Nothing to do with Yasukuni shrine whatsoever.

Why would…

it's not revenge, it's justice. A civilised country has a judicial system where the punishment meets the crime. [...] So in retrospect, compassion was shown towards this man who was convicted of the deaths of 189 people

270 people were killed. You only count 189 people - the Americans. As…

I have a feeling that even if Yasukuni Shrine was public property, they'd still find some way to kick film makers out

Wrong feeling. You just have to go through the proper channels, procedures and get accredited. Search "Yasukuni August 15th" and you get dozens videos. A good example:

@ Jesse Veverka

Don't try filming with that approach anywhere!

Reading your essay you seem to be an amateur blessed with naivity or you simply choose to ignore the procedures of film making and media productions. Both will result in exact the experience you describe almost anywhere. If you try…
