Do you think Japan should apologize to Korea for the sex slaves?

Question

Most people just think Japan is right
and Korea is wrong, just a stupid small country.
But most of them actually don't know much about these countries.
Have you guys ever tried to know the inside of the history?

U guys might have heard about the sex slaves problem,
The affair that japanese soldiers took korean girls and used them as their sexslaves.
Do you guys think japan did the right thing?
Is it okay to rape the girls? I guess not.

Prime minister Abe says that
the girls volunteered, and the numbers were really small
there's no evidence, so the great japan won't apologize.
hah, does any girl in the world volunteer for being raped?
And what about the testimony?
I think no matter how big the number was, the sex slave was totally a fault of Japan.
Even if it was only one, it's still wrong.

Japan is trying to hide there shameful history
but in my point of view, currunt attitude of Japan is writing the a shameful history again.

what do you think?(be rational)

actually the sexslaves are alive rightnow.

Answer 1

Jesus, no. where do you draw the line. should the Danish apologize for raping and pillaging most of Western Europe. What about the Romans, they must have something to say to the Christians. Hey while were on the subject, why not get the British to apologize to the Irish for stealing their all their potatoes, I mean you cant create an Empire that vast without cheesing someone off.

oh oh... what about the African slave trade, geez someone needs to do a lot of grovelling their

Answer 2

Yes because it is not, in fact, part of the past when the victims are still alive.

Japan has not yet fully compensated. The victims have not gotten their full dues (only a handful received the so-called compensation money).

The fact that someone as high-up in the Japanese government as Abe does not acknowledge the true wrong-doing of former Japanese governments (that in fact, the women "volunteered" to be comfort women, i.e., sex slaves to Japanese soldiers) is absolutely ridiculous. He is just trying to appease the conservatives in the Japanese government.

They should a) acknowledge that Japanese soldiers, under the guise of the Japanese Imperialists (the government! important point here) FORCED the comfort women to be sex slaves, and when they were young minors as well. b) dedicate a museum to this cause, like Holocaust museums, in order to appease victims.

I don't know if you've heard of this, but there's also a truly fictional piece of... yea we won't go there, but it's a book being taught in the United States. It was written by a Japanese woman who claims that while the Japanese were fleeing Korea (after colonizing them) that a Korean soldier raped a Japanese girl. While I won't go into how totally wrong the historical facts are, it teaches the reader to be sympathetic to the "poor Japanese" who in fact... were fleeing after unsuccessfully and brutally trying to colonize another country.

Unlike some of the younger generation who has an almost unnatural, nationalist hatred of the Japanese, I do not. I just think that their government right now is ridiculous in trying to sweep the dust under the rug and wait until the victims of this sad tragedy are dead so that they may say it is "only a part of the past" and to "forgive and forget".

Anyway, my two cents on the issue. Hope that helps!

Answer 3

I have seen the photo in which one korean woman had been killed by japanese soldier. And there was an embrella in her pussy.
Prime minister Abe said that the girls volunteered, but why are volunteers protesting to japan. Well, when some people protest about sex slaves, japanese apologized of it to korean victims. But they have said like this very often, like Abe.
That's what victims who were did as sex slaves make angry.
Japan has the power to shake the world. After World War 2, They are not allowed to have troops. As you know, however, Japan let their troops operate some mission in Iraq. They have the millitery power under the name of the troops for self defending although it isn't allowed by UN.
I just want know what are they trying to do again....

Answer 4

>japanese soldiers

Hey! The JAPANESE At That Time, Including KOREANS, also. You See?

And many KOREAN Managers of the Prostitute Houses
>took korean girls and used them as their sexslaves


>the girls volunteered,
Not volunteered, but earned money by the work.

>the numbers were really small
It is said that all of them were about 20000 women.
There were Japanese comfort women also, and Japanese were the most number of them.
Many of Japanese Comfort women and the other Japanese women and Japanese girls were raped, murdered, forced to be sex slaves, but almost all the Korean Women have safe to return home.
There are any kind of cares about some of the comfort women of the other countries, or to their Nation, but no care for Japanese women.


>no matter how big the number was
>the sex slave was totally a fault of
Korea
>is trying to hide there shameful history

For about 130 years, Koreans have been raping Japanese women & girls.

Especially at the time of;

In 1882, the attempt assassinations to Korean Queen Min, over 30 Japanese who have not been armed have killed, and in the similar case, some Japanese women were raped by Korean.

In 1923, the Great Kanto Earthquake, there were the incidents of rape by criminal Koreans, and some of the girls were killed.

From the end of the WW2, many criminal Koreans have been brutally raping Japanese women and girls, and there are many children of Korean rapists as Japanese, the similar case among Vietnamese.

From the educational false information that “the annexation between Japan & Korea” was as “the colonial and the slavery systems by Japan to Korea”, almost all of those have been made by Koreans and Chinese, younger Korean men have been threatening Japanese girls & women, forcing them sex on instinct. AS for; 36 years of your Jap’s Colonial system to Korea…, you see?

To tell the truth, a Koreans have not apologized to Japanese for their too much amounts of their crimes, even for Koreans’ false accusations or misrepresentations.
On the contrary, brutal Koreans have been oppressing the truth.

Answer 5

Japan does indeed have a horrid past, but so does Korea, China, and so on.

The USA dealt "far too lightly" with Japan after the war, as they are now doing with Afghanistan and a few other countries that are in serious need of a radical change.

Once you have to do the "war job", you should do it completely and finish it the first time. We are just too nice when we need to be tough.

Answer 6

I view this situation as being somewhat akin to blacks asking for reparations for slavery. What was done to Korean women was horrible and disgusting, and if anyone alive today took part in it they should be held accountable. If the Korean people want an acknowledgement of what happened, I believe that should be forthcoming. But if it's going to happen, it needs to happen now while people are still alive to apologize to. As for reparations (and, to be honest, you don't mention this) if someone is directly responsible, reparations should be paid to victims. I hope I'm not insulting you by commenting on something that I am relatively ignorant about--but this was posted publicy, and those are my feelings.

Answer 8

They have apologized enough. It's like saying the Germans will have to apologize for the Holocaust today. They have apologized for years and years. Get over it.

Answer 9

Stirring up incidents from the past is keeping hatred alive.

Nobody in the current generation had any control over these events, so let it go.
