Japan has apologized many times.

Yep, and then senior politicians start denying certain events that took place. Kinda makes the apologies a bit hollow.

Seventh, sex slaves issue is all out of context. Most of these women were paid money.

No, they were most certainly not.

yes because it would have been nice for Japan to control all of Asia.

Don't know if the non-Japanese would agree with that.

To single only Japan out is the biggest mistake people are making here and it starts to come down to racism.

What race?

what Japan did is not uncommon.

Were places like unit 731 common?

Japan is not a nation of war

Depends on the time period you are referring to.

We didn't let the genocide go during WWII, we shouldn't let it go now

Well the allies didn't rally know the scale of the genocide until '45.

Otaku aren't all bad

No, but the term is not flattering.

So how many people would be happy with their daughter in High School doing this

The parents of these women apparently.

Whats makes things like this worse is there ares still politicians in japan who deny certain events of the war.

@ Joseph What does Hiroshima or Nagasaki have to do with this?

Was their a bit of bibbty bobbity boo?

It's all come down to different phonetics and pronunciation, and of course the various accents around the world may make hearing a non-native speaker speaking to a native speaker sound funny.

I don't see why some folk have an issue with a foreigner dominating in a Japanese sport?

Now if only more government's had the guts to say the same.

Japan has is the only country to be atomic bombed and it seems like everyone forgets this

Hardly, there are plenty of people who bring it up. Don't they have a remembrance ceremony in japan every August too?

Japan was already defeated! The USA burnt Tokyo when there was no need to do it. This was all a kind of revenge for Pearl Harbor.

Blame Hirohito and his cronies for stalling their surrender for so long.

There's an awful lot of "whataboutry" in the comments, what exactly does Britain, America or whatever have anything to do with this?

I agree with Tmarie, you know what they say about playing with matches.

The simplest solution would be, not to go near shark infested waters.

Everybody should, once in their lives, work for themselves in order to understand what it is like to truly rely on ones self.

Your kinda preaching to the converted here.

@ Madverts when you finally take off the blinkers and accept that everyone these days does drugs at some point in their lives

Well that all depends on the type of drugs you are referring to.

Very rare to execute a woman?

Wonder why that is?

Tide has changed.

Indeed, but it won't stay this way forever.

@ T-mack, That's a positive attitude, naive, but positive.

is there anything this "celebrity won't do for attention?

Please, who's he trying to kid?

Love is blind, I think.

And very picky too, apparently.

It will only take one small incident and the the bullets start flying.

I think these ladies have been reading to much bishounen manga...

Why don't they just play Battleship?

China and Japan are smart enough to work out the issues between them.

The protest that happened in the last couple of weeks kinda disprove that.

How did China become the bully neighbour?

The people of South east Asia would answer that.

Calls have increased for a U.N. measure outlawing insults to Islam and blasphemy in general.

Why? what makes Islam so special that it cannot be criticized or mocked in any way?
