I would have imagined that our very intelligent mod would have understood that the issue was not the murder of Jews, but mass murder of innocents under all its forms... The holocaust was just an example to make the argument clearer. But I suppose that some people are supposed to be criticized once in a while, whether rightly or not...Typhoon wrote:This is the Japan thread.
For those who wish to debate the moral issues of the mass murder of innocent Jewish civilians during the Nazi era, find the appropriate thread to do so.

Xi said that victory in the war was a “miracle” given the difficulties China faced, but that the lesson has never been forgotten.
“In recent times, in the face of incursions again and again by strong foes, the Chinese people have never yielded, continuing to join forces, taking up positions as those in front fall, tenaciously struggling, swearing to fight to the end,” he said.

For China?
China boasts that leaders from 30 countries plan to attend, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, South Korean President Park Geun Hye and United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon. But no major Western democracies that were key in the Allied victory are sending a high-level representative, including the United States.

Look, everybody knows that France would not have been fred from Nazi domination without US and maybe even more Soviet help. We extol the part that we took in the victory - larger than many think - but not even the most irrealistically proud Frenchman would argue that we reached victory "by miracle" - implying by our efforts alone!
Miracles are from God, this however was from UK/US/USSR.

clicking on this one would wonder if those heads were Japanese head and those with sword were Chinese how Japan would react.
My respect to Emperor "Akihito" to disagree with Abe.
Look, world knows everything, things on fingertip on the net, no ifs and buts, only thing left is how Japan behaves.
Have to raise my hat to China how civilized they behave towards Japan.

I understood from another thread that you were born around the 1960s. And you did not take part in something happening in 1930s/40s?
How did you do that. Baffles me.

seems obvious that japan will end up with a normalized military that operates for japanese interests as per everyone elses.
like most of these debates its only about how many generations need to pass before its a tactful conversation.

Tokyo Olympics: Sports Minister resigns over stadium problems
Japan's Education and Sports Minister Hakubun Shimomura has tendered his resignation over cancelled plans for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Stadium.
British-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid's original design was ditched in July as estimated building costs almost doubled, reaching $2bn (£1.3bn).
Mr Shimomura said he had been asked to stay on until a planned cabinet reshuffle, but would repay some salary.
A new stadium design is due to be chosen by November.
Concerns have already been raised about whether that design will be completed in time for 2020 - the first time the city has hosted the Summer Games since 1964.
As well as objections to its ballooning cost, Ms Hadid's design was criticised by some in Tokyo for its similarly huge size and its unusual shape.

Thanx .. interesting article
Japanese rice special for Japanese .. why not start cultivating "Basmati" rice .. could become a big export item .. by genetically modifying "Basmati" rice, am sure Japanese could cultivate even better Basmati, probably higher yield and better taste .. if so, could become big export item.
Iran would take all Japan could produce.

However, rice cultivation in Japan is deeply part of the culture and Shinto religion,
so unfortunately change is something as fundamental as the type of rice is difficult.
The big problem that can and should be changed is the vested interests that prevent economies of scale.

With modern genetic engineering technology, new genetic Variation/Sequencing technology and tools, am sure Japan can come up with interesting genetically engineered Rice variation that would become big Export item ..
