I guess many people here agree to his mad statement.

The reason why they don't claim about Class BC war criminals is that 148 Koreans are included to it.

The USA, China and Japan must stop playing. This play is becoming dangerous.

None of them are playing, and it has already been dangerous.

Korean national law overwhelms the treaty. Great.

VANK is huge lobby group and Zaitokukai is big stupid racist group. VANK is consist of about 100,000 members, and Zaitokukai is consist of 12,000 members.

VANK is not a "small minority" and Zaitokukai is not "everybody" unlike what Mitch Cohen has said.

@Mitch Cohen

I like how, when Japanese ultra-nationalists stage weekly anti-Korea protests, people here exercise caution and only condemn that small minority.

I love that. "Just ignore them", after everybody went to town condemning the whole country for the actions of this group.

It's funny that VANK is "small minority" and Zaitokukai is "everybody" in your head. It's good way to offend Japan with defending Korea.

Which law bans refueling? Can anyone quote the original sentence of that law?

@nemurenaijin

So do you think that the scale of war crime is measure of removing a flag? If that logic would be valid, then it's unfair discrimination against Japan not to accuse the military flag of other nations that have committed war crime during the war.

Swastika was banned because it's the symbol of Nazis which is the extreme right political party. It's far different from Rising Sun that has been used since 1870.

Tourists are welcomed. Customers are welcomed. But please take a rest at appropriate place. Please.

@nemurenaijin SWASTIKA : Symbol of Nazis adopted by Nazis. Rising Sun : Symbol of Sun. Being used since 1870.

It's not a symbol of imperialism and fascism. Thus I think it doesn't have to be removed.

Japan doesn't have to kill whales if there is non-lethal way of researching the age of whale. Emotional argument doesn't refute the legitimacy of scientific research.

Racist paper vs racist group. It's waste of time to pay attention.

This is one of the reasons why the article 9 should be altered.

He should have published his thought in English before arbitrary interpretation of his remarks got spreaded to the world.

ICJ seems to be worthless in east Asia.

@illsayit

Excuse me but it's difficult for me to see where is the quoted part and where was the sentence quoted (or translated) from.

and that view is clearly that women are not equal to men

I would like to ask you to make it clear which statement of him treats women unequally.

@WilliB

I did. I don't think so. You just wrote your interpretation about his statement instead of citing his remark. I will continuously cut and paste this comment till you make your opinion clear and concrete with REFERRING FIRST INFORMATION SOURCE. This thread is about the statement of Hashimoto concerning to comfort women issue, which you can fully check in Japanese. Please clearly point out what do you think is problem about his statement.

@WilliB

Every sentence in his statement is the problem. Same as with your comment.

My comment to you will keep being same as previous one till you make your opinion clear and concrete with referring first information souce.

@hoserfellaMay

There is no mainstream evidence that modern militaries other than Japan’s have employed a formal sex slavery system. its quite clear that you and a few others on this thread refuse to acknowledge the truth..

I don't understand why you are sticking with it. Hashimoto disagrees to use comfort women as outlet of sexual desire, and so do I. He clearly denied the acceptability to run comfort station.

@WilliB

If you understand Japanese language, please specifically quote the sentence from his remarks about comfort women which you think is problem. Please make your opinion about his statement clear with referring first information source, instead of claiming only accordance with your imagination.

@WilliB Correction

If you can't agree to his statement about it's problem, then please point it out specifically.

If you can't agree to his statement AND it's problem, then please point it out specifically.

@WilliB You are confusing the topic about the statement of Hashimoto and general argument about comfort women. If you can't agree to his statement about it's problem, then please point it out specifically. As I wrote, he clearly admitted that Japan is guilty for using comfort women system and I agree with it.

This issue has not resolved and that's why sexual crime rate aroud the U.S. military base in Japan. This issue has not resolved and that's why sexual crime rate aroud the U.S. military base in Japan is high.

This issue has not BEEN resolved and that's why sexual crime rate around the U.S. military base in Japan is high.*

Sorry for my clumsy English.

@hoserfella

What other country openly supported the rape of women? None.

Korean comfort women of Korean war. It's nothing to do with my opinion anyway. I answer this just because I was asked.

I think you are confusing the meaning of acceptability and necessity. As I wrote, he clearly admitted that Japan is guilty for using comfort women system and I agree with it. It's not acceptable under ethics of today, but it's obvious that there were need for outlet of sexual desire. This issue has not resolved and that's why sexual crime rate aroud the U.S. military base in Japan.

hoserfellaMay. 19, 2013 - 03:10PM JST 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

At least he clearly admitted Japan is guilty for using comfort women system. He meant that it was thought to be "necessary" at that time, but he denied the acceptability of comfort women under the ethics of today . He suggested the need for reconsidering the sexual crime at military related circumstance. Infringement of human right of women were happened at everywhere on Earth, and it's still been happening. That's why everyone should reconsider the past instead of accusing only Japan. I don't think that Hashimoto's opinion about this issue is wrong.

He is not justifying what Japan did. He is one of the most misunderstood guy in Japan now.

Japan needs to be active about the abduction issue since U.S seems to be not interested in it.
