There is nothing wrong with voluntary prostitution in my opinion but when one is forced into the sex industry, you are not a prostitute but a slave.

I understand that, there are parts of my history that aren't nice or invoke pride but that doesn't mean one should deny it. 1 · 17 hours ago Noriko Takahashi Noriko Takahashi There are two different issues sprung from the issue of so called 'comfort women'; one is a gender issue / sex slavery / sexual exploitation, the other is how so-called compensation was settled between two nations previously, namely the post-war treaty in 1965. Legally speaking, the professor in the YouTube clips is saying that Japan already paid hefty compensation overall to Korea and Korean government had a choice to pay it out to individuals who suffered or sacrificed but instead the money was used for the development of the entire nation. So the question was raised whether Japan should pay even more, while technically it was Korean government's responsibility to be more accountable for how the money was spent and to pay out compensation individually to these women. It is a valid argument from the perspective of international law, but not of the humanity and emotional justice for those who suffered. 17 hours ago · Edited Martin Clementine Martin Clementine When you finaly open your cold hearts.

Believe every country has paid their dues for WWII. Its time to move on 2 · 22 hours ago Zoran Janjetov Zoran Janjetov These crazy rightists don't respect anything but their own egoistic hatred and paranoia. They don't respect the Emperor's views , and now they don't even respect their prime minister who is also from the right. They would rather live bathed in blood and conflict than entertain the thought that 70 years ago, some people from their country were assholes. This goes for Korean nationalists who are against this deal as well. 2 · 23 hours ago · Edited Yoshida Masaaki Yoshida Masaaki protest 23 hours ago Toshio Ohsako Toshio Ohsako Why oppose.

Whatever we say, it doesn't matter to them, it doesn't reach to them, and it doesn't change anything. Sad. These Asian countries just can't believe how good Japan is, that's why they complain everything about what we Japanese do, or even what we did in the past. Why don't you just be happy and leave the old problems in the past? What do you even wanna hear from the past issues? 11 · Yesterday at 4:34am Satoshi Yamashita Satoshi Yamashita If you want to study history between Japan and Korea, watch this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liUWpcri-WA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJPTs0l49fE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liUWpcri-WA 日韓問題 The issue of Japan and Korea(1/3) youtube.com 6 · Yesterday at 3:55am Satoshi Yamashita Satoshi Yamashita Historically Korea had been under China.
