Have you ever been to the Nanjing Massacre Museum? I suggest you go there. Expats (Missionaries eg) used to refer to the Japanese as the 'Beast Group', & with good reason, which will become clear after your visit.

And if I go to the museum, I will then support the notion that Japan today is morally responsible for the crimes of the Imperial Japanese government of 65 years ago?

Some of those ultranationalists from the war era are still alive and many of their descendants are carrying on their bulls-hit bushido tradition, making this far from a moot point of concern.

The Japanese government has long stymied efforts for reparations to the comfort women. What these women want most is their dignity and Abe's insensitive remarks and the Japanese government's continued refusal to take full responsibility for the animalistic behavior of the Imperial Army is a slap in the face to them and only serves to justify jingoistic sentiments in China and Korea against the Japanese. Now surely you can discern this much?

Moreover, if you think that the Japanese government's toleration of inaccurate history textbooks and comments like Abe's are merely a reaction to the hostility from China and Korea and an effort to preserve the honor of the current generation, then I've got some lovely seaside property in Afghanistan I'd like to sell you.

Japan is responsible for acts it committed. period. 65 years ago was not that long ago. They worship war crominals, they never divorced themselves from their past and instead glorify it all the while whitewashing their crimes. Until japan thrwos the remains of war criminals in the trash and stops lying about their recent history they will always be held to account for their crimes.

Shaku is a sicko Korea hater that needs to be ignored.

Agree to disagree about the first part. The second part, well, fine. I forget where ya'll live sometimes.

Lying about what?

Did Japan sexually enslave more women than you can fathom and serially rape them over years? yes, their own documents say it

Did Japan slaughter civillians? Yes

Did Japan invade countries and engage in vile, evil behavior? yes

Did Japan ever trully apologize? No, not really

Does Japan feel bad for what it did? No. They glorify their past and worship war criminals.


I wont call japan an evil country. But I dont think its up for debate that its a country that is led by a weasel and a bunch or rabid nationalist scoundrels. Its also a country that, very much like an ostrich, is trying to hide its head in the sand. But it wont work. The weasel has created a storm and Japan better face up to it. Some backbone and an infusion of honor would do that pathetic nation of automatons a lot of good.

Ignore JeJuJitsu. He's the sock of a sock and about as informed. And we can't all have sensational avatars like a panda doing exercises.

Quite correct about Nanking. I've been to the museum in Nanjing too. It's sobering to say the least and the pile of bones displayed as they were left buried in the ground is most unsettling. And this massacre, while huge in scale, was far from the only one.

Manila was razed to the ground by retreating Japanese forces in the winter of 1945 for no other reason than to deny resources to the advancing American forces. Manila saw more destruction than any other city occupied during the war at a point in time when the Imperial Japanese Army was forestalling the inevitable. By the way, lots of Filipina comfort women there too.
