Enough with this trite pattering about Japa...Anon,<br /><br />Enough with this trite pattering about Japan and the war. <br /><br />Fist, let me break this down for you in Q&A format. <br /><br />Q. Was America fighting for the freedom, as in independence, of the colonies Japan had taken from the Dutch, British, French, and Americans?<br /><br />A. No. The colonies were returned to the British (Hong Kong, Singapore, Burma, India), French (Indochina), and Dutch (Malaya, Indonesia). There was no agreement towards the eventual freedom of these colonies. Every one fought wars of liberation against their colonizers; except for Hong Kong, returned to China in 1997.<br /><br /><br />Japan's shpwing the colonies that the Western colonial powers could be defeated is precisely what fnally drove them to full-on wars of independence to push them out after WWII. Even racist historians like Borthwick acknowledge this. <br /><br /><br />2. Even if you tow this usual, tired line about Japan and the War (curious how like Joseph Keenan, you seem to forbid all mention of the beheading, child-rape, gang-rape, immolation, mutilation, and civilian-butchery of the Allies) - any resources gained by Japan during the War in Asia (which you seem to think the Dutch/Brits/Russians/french had a right to?) were completely destroyed in the War. What was left was returned, and massive reparation payments took the rest.<br /><br />So yes - modern Japan, as we know it today, industrialized from the ground-up without war, colonization and destruction. And it's the only nation to do so. <br /><br />PS: Thousands of Japanese troops stayed behind in Indonesia, Vietnam, and Malaya to help the resistance armies there fight the returning British, Dutch, and French. They actually believed in the cause of freedom for Asia - while America simply handed these nations back to the colonizers. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, hard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533986275392579293.post-76122115163498245692012-05-26T17:05:08.643+09:002012-05-26T17:05:08.643+09:00this is really sad, and really fucking stupid....
...this is really sad, and really fucking stupid....<br /><br />and i wanna reply to your last comment about "is this why the japanese system works?" with a big resounding no. of course, it's obvious to us big gaijins that individuality isn't a bad thing, but i now have a new job, at a very high-end, high-level private high school in tokyo, and i was shocked to discover that, at my school, there is no uniform. kids show up dressed however they want, with their hair and faces however they want, and so do the teachers. this makes for a really odd mix, and even i was quite shocked when i started working there, but the kids are really good, hardworking students, and the school is really hard to get into, so obviously something's working isn't it? seeing things like that makes me happy that at least some parts of japan are taking baby steps in the right direction.<br /><br />i really hope Ryota doesn't get affected by that stupid law... :(kawaii_candiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16448205302667470117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533986275392579293.post-88207835039718988352012-05-26T14:11:12.283+09:002012-05-26T14:11:12.283+09:00Ame Otoko...

Boring, ugly generational politicians and a bland bureaucracy are the price you pay in the modern world system established by the West for a peaceful modern nation that doesn't drive its economy through war, destruction, and military-worship.<br /><br />They've certainly given Japan a lot more than you could ever dream of hoping to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533986275392579293.post-37827203196182743382012-05-26T12:11:53.334+09:002012-05-26T12:11:53.334+09:00Hashimoto is fine.

A handful of stupid policies don't destroy a politician. <br /><br /><br />Australians gave Kevin Rudd a free pass, as have the Americans to Obama.<br /><br />Hashimoto isn't keeping open a torture camp or drone-bombing civilians. <br /><br />Some perspective is required here. He's far, far far away from being like those ugly generational politicians that Japan is weighed down with. <br /><br />A true politician is one who isn't a meandering waffler. Good or bad, you know what he's for. Hashimoto makes that well clear. Ishihara is the same. Everyone will never love them and they know it and that's precisely why they get stuff done. What spineless DPJ or LDP generational politician would have the balls to buy the Senkakus and tell the Chinese 'back off'?<br /><br />They certainly did not when the trawler incident happened.

I had one coworker who tried to intervene in a bully case and he got promptly transferred.
