News: Four Japanese Activist Unlawfully Arrested

Socio-Political Rants.

Four Japanese citizens were unlawfully arrested by the police when they
protested against the Primeminister and the ring-wing groups’ visit to
the Yasuku Shrine on the 15 August 2005.

And if I have to hear ONE single Japanese citizen going on how this is totally justified, I just might puke. After last time I truly think there is something wrong with the way the Japanese people view their "role" in World War Two (like.. you know…they invaded everyone in Asia), they seem rather justified with their atrocities (oh, no, we were well LOVED in some parts) and not sorry at all (we have the right to pay respect to the soldiers who invaded everyone in Asia, brought women from China and forced them into prostitution, and raped and killed a lot of people in Nanking oh, and burnt my grandparent’s house to the ground, forced them to lose everything, and made my granddad lose his sister and never to see her again.)

Thank you for fax machines, walkmens, my ex-viao, all my childhood cartoons but really, say "Sorry," (on an institutional level) Goddamn it.

(Coz I really wouldn’t want to have to teach by grandkids to cling onto this as well, but if the admission never come. I will have to but I rather not.)
