Prime Minister Koizumi Junichiro, two RAPE accusations!

[GuyJean]

but this thread is just a bunch of slanderous bullshit

But in Japan, don't the tabloids usually break the 'real' news, while the press-monkey clubs spoon feed the sheep with mana from heavenly government?

It was the tabloids that investigated which politicians hadn't paid their pensions..

By the way, I would hardly go as far as to say "we are making it up" we are simply discussing what is reported on the web here.

The only thing I finding in English is the same old AFP article. I saaume if the lawsuit of the male 3rd part for the women who was raped ever gets to court, there will be real coverage.

Interesting but not surprising how every news program last night, even the more radical ones, chose not to broadcast the scene of the diet member asking Koizumi about the case brought against him..

Yeah. Last night I was using the multiple split-screen feature on my TV and was watching all the news programs at the same time. I recorded the channels I couldn't watch.

Not a word on regular TV or cable (and certainly not NHK).

Most likely, the woman or women in question signed a non-disclosure agreement with her or their cash settlement so I won't be holding my breath on this.

May just call TV asahi and ask why they did not show or make any mention of the incident. Will ask them if they have been leaned on not to show it.

It's not on TV because it's not a story. I hereby announce that Michael Jordan killed fifty ten-year-olds. Now are you gonna start a thread about why it's not on the news?

You are wrong here.
Koizumi admitted on TV in the diet deliberation that he was being sued over a case that involves his moral fitness to be prime minister. Koizumi even mentioned that the case makes mention of two alleged rape incidents and claims that he was actually arrested for these incidents.
This is a REAL case, that is being taken up by the REAL courts in REAL Tokyo and has just had its second REAL hearing today!
This thread is questioning why the above fact has not been reported, it is not questioning whether Koizumi did or did not commit it. Your comparison to you yourself making fictitious claims about Michael Jordan and asking if I am going to start a thread about it is not valid and holds little water to say the least.

[Taro Toporific]

Michael Jordan killed fifty ten-year-olds.s?

OMG! Nooooooooooo, not Michael Jordan! I only thought that he and Michael Japanese were having a fling?

[GomiGirl]

So it is only a story if he is convicted? I do see your point in a way as too much unrelated and usually unconfirmed mud-slinging happens when public figures are concerned.

That said... if there is enough evidence then this is a story.

[AssKissinger]

This is a REAL case, that is being taken up by the REAL courts in REAL Tokyo and has just had its second REAL hearing today!

That's REALLY a bunch of bullshit.

OK I'm pressing charges against Jordan.

How much water does your bong hold?

I'm glad the mainstream media has the decency to avoid this tabloid dribble. Sorry I can't say the same for FG.

Ok, so what is the "Bullshit"?
Are you trying to deny that the court case is actually taking place here?

[GuyJean]

I'm glad the mainstream media has the decency to avoid this tabloid dribble.

Ok, I'll ask again; wasn't it the tabloids that investigated which politicians hadn't paid their pensions? Strange how that became a 'real' story, as you put it, only after the tabloids broke it..

The Japanese media is nothing but a government megaphone. The tabloids, on the other hand, are the only ones with enough balls to challenge the wa.. And FG is here to bang the wa.

Obviously AssKissinger isn't replying because he can't without disproving his own claims of "Bullshit".
There are people who simply make claims of bullshit and trolling when really, they are ones guilty of the claims they make.

And then there are the people who join a forum and make no posts for nearly two months, then crank out 22 posts on the same topic (and no other) in less than a day and a half.

[blackcat]

This isnt on the japanese TV stations due to JAPAN DENIAL SYNDROME

This country is a criminal run organized crime human trafficking pointing the finger at any non japanese for piss-ant crimes and IGNORING any mass murder,rape you name it REAL crime...by japanese.

Rape in the japanese DNA ay ishihara!

LOL
So, what does that mean?
Are there any rules as to when and how many posts people can make on this board?
If you would like to explain yourself, I am sure people including myself are willing to listen and reply to you, if you allow it!
Most of the posts are in reply to questions asked about the original post or additional information concerning the thread, as indeed this post is a reply to your vague and unfounded comment.

Just called TV Asahi and talked the person in charge ...

Ok, I called NHK Radio and talked to my favorite news bimbo, H-chan, an in-law relative.

She said, "NHK Radio is not going to cover it until it comes to court."

"Why?" I asked.

"Eaaaaay, you know why."(T.I.J.)

I think there ought to be a statue of limitations on stupid youthful indiscretions. Bush doing Coke, Clinton smoking pot, koizumi allegedly raping someone.

Are you kidding? Drug use and rape are considered "indiscretions?"

So I guess America's prisons aren't full of criminals, just the "indiscreet?" Crime is crime and there's no two ways about it.

If you're putting smoking pot and rape on the same level...god help us! There are such things as immoral laws, you know.

No, I'm saying neither one should be considered an "indiscretion."

At present they are both illegal in a lot of the world. If you find a law immoral, work to change it. Note: Doing drugs is not "working to change the system." It's getting high/stoned/wasted/etc.

There are no rules about when and how often people can post here. But putting all your energy into one topic (nearly half the posts in this topic are from you) in sudh a short timeframe is likely to get you pegged as a quack. (Not to be confused with a Duck, mind you.)

My comment was meant to be vauge but wasn't unfounded, as it's 100% accurate. You're trying to "call out" somebody who's a long-time member of the board -

Obviously AssKissinger isn't replying because he can't without disproving his own claims of "Bullshit".

- for not responding to you right away? Sorry, but some people have better things to do than reload the same topic over and over to see if there's something new to reply to.

Again.

If there are no rules about posting, why are you complaining about it?
And what exactly is 100% accurate about your comment of "Bullshit"?
What are you trying to refer to here?
It appears you are the one calling people a "quack"...!

Just keep taking the pills dear..!

Thought it already had come to court and today was the second hearing.
Sounds like you are getting the same runaround I had today.

[Marvin Feltcher]

A couple of weeks ago, a certain news site didn't run the story about a certain prince critizing a certain agency and shit hit the fan, primarily because the foreign media had picked up the story.
Yesterday, a certain news site didn't run the story about the prime minister's rape allegations. When a certain somebody, who was off when the news broke, threw a huge tantrum blasting all concerned for failing to notice and run the story -- widely covered in the foreign media -- he was greeted with silence.
When that certain somebody's tantrum reached proportions rivalled only by those of his 3-year-old daughter, the certain somebody was told that "Japanese don't like to read stories like this. It's not real news."
A check of the Japanese version of the site's most popular stories at that very moment showed the top story was about a train molester. When a certain somebody pointed this out, he was informed, "Yeah, but stories about politicians need to be serious news, not mere allegations."
The certain somebody was then told in no uncertain terms to end the matter as "the story is already old news." The certain somebody will be choosing news this Sunday. Hopefully this story won't be too old for a decent follow-up, something the certain site excels at with more than 50 percent of its stories mere upates of earlier articles.
P.S. Sorry for the Japanese-style reporting that deliberately fails to mention the names of the main protaganists of the story

[AssKissinger]

All of yall acting like Koizumi could possibly be guilty and that this is newsworthy are being fucktards. When rumours reach the point of being slanderous they endanger the well-being of this board. When you post BULLSHIT about a good man like Koizumi and pretend it's fact you're setting the board up for a lawsiut (which has already shut down Get Hiroshima). And you newbies accusing me of slinking off...whatever. It often takes a few hours if not days to reply. Hold your horses, hotheads.

You make this sound with your sort of through your nose from the back of the throat , pushing your tongue against the top of your mouth and grunting!

The bigger the tits on the cover the more reliable the news content inside - that's my rule of thumb.
