Silly Silly YuriOtani....When will you ever grow up...

mindovermatter at 05:35 AM JST - 27th November

sir and my ancestors were innocent. Then again the mainlanders are not responsible for the actions of their ancestors.

But unless You, They learn from your ancestor's past, i.e.... REAL non-white-washed History, You, They, are sure to repeat it...

Not for a split second does anyone, actually think, You YuriOtani, were responsible for unit-731, or the dozens of other atrocities, but you need to know, learn from the past, or you are sure to repeat it...

You just can't continue on with this mentality of an 8-year old spoiled brat, whose only answer to every question is, "Well, America did it too."

No we didn't, and please start acting like adults, Take some responsibility for YOUR own actions... The reason the rest of asia Hates Japan, is because of this righteous attitude, that everything is somebody else's fault...

Have a nice day, and as always, You are welcome for your freedom, it's no coincidence, Japan looks the way it does today, and not like N.Korea, because of the beautiful present you received from Me and MY forefather's, who died to give it to you... You're Welcome!

Silly Kids....

@OssanAmerica

What planet do you live on? It has alot to do with "us". Japanese control of the islands keeps China's territorial expansion in the East China Sea in check, a manouver they are pulling to challenge he U.S. 7th Fleet. China's "disputes" with Vietnamn, Phillipines all are part of China's agenda of controlling the sealanes that supply the democratic Asian nations with oil. All these nations are relying on "us" to provide a counter balance to China's militrary threat. Which "us" are you refering to?

Oh, so according to your logic, the u.s. should go along with Japan's claim of the "Kuril Islands" island as well..? Oh, and let's not forget the "Dokdo" islands too... Oh, but let's not stop there, there are probably half a dozen other islands that Japan makes some claim against...

I am NO big Fan of China, but the U.S. needs to stay the Hell out of these kind of petty disputes... We sure as hell didn't do much, when Japan had a REAL problem, with North Korea abducting people...

This is a problem Japan needs to come to terms with, they've made their bed, over the last 65 years, and now they need to deal with these neighbors. I am not even going to get started on the reasons Japanese feel so strongly about these islands... If you've lived in Japan for any matter of time, Japan not only distorts history, but has encouraged the sentiment that Japan was a Victim of WW2...

And When you've actually served your country, then you can make statements about it... Are you another, "Dick Cheney," 5 deferment, "Chicken-Hawk...?" Have you actually served, or are you just saying, Do as I say, not as I do...?

Nagoya UNSOLVED murder - Foreigner stabbed by Yakuza

mindovermatter at 11:23 AM JST - 10th October

forcibly hugging and kissing a 24-year-old female employee

With all the problems Japan has, they're going waste time going after somebody, that they already cleared once, for forcibly hugging and kissing...

Aren't there more than a few unsolved murder cases floating around...?

Haven't heard word one about that foreigner that was stabbed to death in Nagoya over road rage with some Yakuza a year ago...

Or is that too difficult to solve...? There were only half a dozen witnesses, seeing how it happened at 2pm in the afternoon...

JapanToday is ENTERTAINMENT, NOT NEWS..

mindovermatter at 07:11 PM JST - 7th October

And their bosses did not know? Bull.

Everyone involved was arrested..

If you read a REAL news source / site, they tell you REAL details.. Everyone, from the police chief, to the guy passing out the drugs, who was involved, was arrested... I can't believe people read JT an think it's REAL news... It's ENTERTAINMENT and CENSURED ENTERTAINMENT at that...

So if they don't agree with your comments, they delete them...

If The Japanese Government was really doing their job, you would have heard of hundreds of these types of raids, against their own corrupt City Police Departments... The ones that look the other way, while the Yakuza thrives right under their noses, in broad daylight.

Sorry Fishy...! Wrong again!

• mindovermatter at 08:02 PM JST - 23rd September

  @fishy

  wrong. 防衛省によりますと、アメリカ兵が日本で起こした事件や事故に対する賠償は、日米地位協定に基づいて、 防衛省とアメリカ軍が公務中かどうかを協議し、公務中でないと判断された場合には、 アメリカ軍があらためて賠償額を決めて支払うということです。

  According to the Ministry of Defense, when the serviceman was not on duty at the time of the incident, the U.S. government will finalize the amount of money and pay. It is most likely less than 50 million yen, but will see how much it will be.

  You would probably be better served by NOT believing everything you read on "Wikipedia," since anyone and their brother can edit those pages, and typically does...

  I know what the SOFA agreement states, and that's a matter of public record. Whatever you read on JT, isn't worth the fonts it's printed in...

  JapanToday is for ENTERTAINMENT purposes only...

  It's like watching the FOX news of Japan...

  Now, I cannot say, how much the Japanese Government is going to end up paying, In the Name of the dirt-bag, but it wouldn't surprise me if they paid the 50-million yen, and said the U.S. government did...

  Oh, and there was a case a year ago or so, just to show you, how the gavel comes down on these kinds of issues, if you remember those kids at Yokota that stretched that line across a street and that lady riding a moped ended up in a coma... Well, that's a clear cut case, in which the U.S. does pay, because those kids are NOT treated the same under the SOFA as military, there exists NO SUCH THING for dependents as a "DUTY-RELATED" incident.

  So accordingly the parents were totally liable, NOT the U.S., but the parents... I think the Military ended up forking out some big money, but that's only because those parents will get stuck with the bill.

  As far as this Nigerian thug, No they won't see a penny from Uncle Sam, as I mentioned before, I am sure the base paid some token money to help the family with burial arrangements, etc... But they won't pay a dime for a civil judgment, that's all on Mr.Nigerian Thug...and perhaps the JN government...

Hello 8-year old YuriOtani!

YuriOtani

Well what will China do if their "demands" are not met? We are ready and waiting for you.

What are you like 8 years old...?

Welcome to Japan, a country of total and unconditional "Victim-Hood," a country with 100 million, 8-year olds, masquerading as adults...

Japanese are always in pursuit of class

@MistWizard

Japanese are always in pursuit of class though

That may be a "Bridge too far," You'd better stick to a more realistic and desperately needed goal, like "Common Sense," but that for Japanese, may be easier said than done.

Roos' attendance at Hiroshima A-bomb memorial draws mixed reaction

mindovermatter at 10:21 AM JST - 7th August

‘‘He didn’t pay even a floral tribute."

Ok, where's all the memorials dedicated to the victims of Japan's war of aggression...? Take a trip to Germany, you'll see plenty of memorials dedicated to the victims of "Their" aggression, in Japan, all you see if memorials to themselves, not one memorial dedicated to the hundreds of thousands of Chinese they killed in Nanking, or the other hundred of so well-documented, atrocities committed by the Japanese Army, under the direction of their government... Only memorials to themselves..

You're lucky you got any representative at all to visit that memorial, you're never going to get an apology. For God's sake, you were training school-kids and old-lady's to attack the U.S. soldiers with bamboo spears, fight to the last person.

Japan really needs to look in the mirror and stop this crazy "Victim-Hood" mentality... Japan couldn't have turned out better today, if they had planned it. The U.S. gave you your freedom, democracy, and put you on the road to being a wealthy capitalist society.

It's just a coincidence that South Korea is also doing well... Oh, but not there neighbor, North Korea.

You are welcome for your 60+ years of freedom, prosperity and safety, courtesy of the U.S. Military.

The role that the U.S. military plays in Japan and the region cannot be understated

@prinzjay

The Japanese do not deserve a free ride or a free lunch when at this level of the game. They dont even want to step up to plate

Spot on!

They want their cake, and they want to eat it too...

What they pay through taxes to host U.S. forces in Japan, is peanuts, compared to what it would cost them... Not only that, the money they pay, stays in Japan, they aren't buying fighter planes, or ships for the U.S., they are paying money that is in a closed loop system, it either goes to Japanese contractors, MLC employees, Utility companies...

It's like paying for someone's room in a hotel, that you own.

I'll bet 99.999% of these people posting have no idea how good of a deal Japan has gotten out of the U.S. in the last 60-plus years... They want foreigners in Japan, only for the money, and if they could figure out a way to close up Japan's borders to foreigners out and keep foreign money coming in, they would do it tomorrow. Not everyone, but enough people here have been brainwashed by these history re-writers, they actually believe Japan was a victim of WW2, Think I'm joking...?

You want to know what life would be like if the U.S. hadn't of given you democracy, Capitalism and freedom, just take a look at how good they have it in N.Korea...

It's just a coincidence that South Korea has such a good quality of life, and they were also set up for success, and protected by the U.S.

And you're welcome Japan!

What an Idiot you are..."James Hadfield!"

mindovermatter at 11:16 AM JST - 11th July

First of all, You're an idiot...

Second of all, Japan clown-Cops are all idiots too...

We all know, bicycle riders are the main crime in Japan...(¬_¬)

Never mind, those Bozo's with the motorcycles and 1500cc Mopeds, shooting in and out of traffic, running red lights, and running 100+kph down residential streets...

I'm sofa, and after my first encounter with those clown cops, I now produce my Military ID, and say, "I can call the military police right now..." "What do you want to do guy...?"

And every single time, they put their heads down and wave me on my way...

What a corrupt and irrelevant bunch of kids masquerading as adult police officers... Good luck Japan...

Until you start voting these idiots out of office, who make the decisions regarding these clown cops, You are stuck!
