[floatr][/floatr]:hehe: Japan's colonial rule of Korea not fact, says city education board head
japantoday.com / Kyodo - Saturday 28th June, 09:17 AM JST - KITAKYUSHU --
The head of the Shimonoseki city education board in Yamaguchi Prefecture has told officials of a Korean school that Japan’s 1910-1945 colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula ‘‘contradicts a historical fact,’’ the education board and the Korean school officials said Friday.
Tsuyoshi Shimakura made the remark on Thursday when he met the officials and students’ parents from Yamaguchi Korean school who visited Shimakura to ask for an increase of education subsidies, they said.
According to the Korean school officials and the education board, the officials made the request, saying, ‘‘We’d like the education board to respond based on the fact that children of Korean people who had no choice but to travel to Japan due to colonial rule are attending the school.’’
Shimakura told them, ‘‘We cannot accept that because the part about colonial rule contradicts a historical fact,’’ they said...more...

Needless to say, Korea is not a ex-colony of Japan but a part of Japan.
Different from European way of colonization, Japan seriously tried merging Korea into Japan to do enormous amount of investment to it despite at that time Japan bearing huge amount of debts. Contrastively sneak European dudes just exproited Africa and Asia as their raw material supply center.

very smart,
another J-official with his head up his ass gives them another excuse to explode

Damn straight!
In the short period of time your beloved Emperor's men were there (30 yrs?) they managed to gather up thousands of slaves, infected Asia with bio and chemical weapons like Anthrax and massacred millions
As one Indonesia official dude put it some years back : As bad as the Westerners were exploiting, pillaging Asia
the Japanese managed to make those white-crackers look very tame in comparison to the new J-brand of brutality.
The whitey actually had things like the Geneva convention, while the Japanese flushed the Geneva down the squat toilet in favor of their beheading contests.

In "part of Japan" period, its population increased from 13 million to 29 million, its life expectancy from 24 years old to 45 years old. Moreover before being part of Japan, there were no industries, just a barren peninsula. Korean always say "Japan brutally exproited Korean agricultural industry nida!!!!". But unfortunately its "Korean" agricultural industry itself was created by huge amount of Japanese investment. In fact many Korean(at that time Japanese) new richs were born in Agricultural industry in this period. Famous Samsumg founder is one of them. In other words Japan created the foundation of present Korea.

By the way, you better learn how to doubt your retarded brain, bitch.

Wellll.. the Second World War for starters.

One racist white dickhead would not represent the whole of North America

nor would one man's racism excuse Japan's fucked up East Asia Co-Prosperity program
such as their co-prosperity decapitation contests

Japan's co-prosperity nonsense might have started as a good idea on paper, but like America bringing democracy to Vietnam etc it fucked up big time and got worse and worse. In both cases life only got better when the outsiders fucked off back home and let the local people get back to re-building their lives.

I'm not a fan of the Koreans but kind of understand why they are getting winded-up by Japan so often.

"Why was it necessary to drop the nuclear bomb if LeMay was burning up Japan? And he went on from Tokyo to firebomb other cities. 58% of Yokohama. Yokohama is roughly the size of Cleveland. 58% of Cleveland destroyed. Tokyo is roughly the size of New York. 51% percent of New York destroyed. 99% of the equivalent of Chattanooga, which was Toyama. 40% of the equivalent of Los Angeles, which was Nagoya. This was all done before the dropping of the nuclear bomb, which by the way was dropped by LeMay's command. Proportionality should be a guideline in war. Killing 50% to 90% of the people of 67 Japanese cities and then bombing them with two nuclear bombs is not proportional, in the minds of some people, to the objectives we were trying to achieve."

LeMay said, "If we'd lost the war, we'd all have been prosecuted as war criminals." And I think he's right. He, and I'd say I, were behaving as war criminals. LeMay recognized that what he was doing would be thought immoral if his side had lost. But what makes it immoral if you lose and not immoral if you win?

The German National Socialists were also "white people" and they're generally not remembered for adhering to the Geneva Convention.

Do you even understand the Geneva Convention? It covers the treatment of prisoners of war which by in large and Allies upheld and the Japanese did not. Atomic or conventional victims of bombing are not part of the picture.

[Behan]

The mortality rate for prisoners of war in Japanese camps was a lot higher than those of German camps.

But I agree with Typhoon's point about the (non-) justification for bombing civilian populations. If the Allies had lost people like LeMay or MacNamara might have been put on trial.

Wow...dude, whatever it is you're smoking, if it's that good, you need to pass some of it along the way.

You cant blow up that much of a country without killing non-combatants trying to give aid to wounded combatants and other non-combatants which would be a violation of the only part of the current Geneva Convention that was ratified at the time of ww2.

But mostly its just silly to argue over which empire was more brutal towards the people of the countries they "brought" stuff to.. ie democracy industry and other shit they probably didnt ask for.

During the period, Japanese government had treated Koreans as equal. Korean Royal(Imperial?) family had been raised to the peerage. they had the right to vote/to be elected. They learnt in their mother language. those are the facts.

[Behan]

How kind of them to attempt to raise those savages to the level of humanity. This, of course, was all motivated by genuiine
concern for the Korean people.
