| The bulk of the people of Japan will probably never acknowledge that Japan did most of what they did. That is unconscionable and utterly disgusting -- the one and only thing that the Japanese as a people do that really really bothers me. You don't organize a system that rapes each of the estimated 200,000 women up to 40 times a day, walk away and say, "We did nothing wrong." The rape of Nanking happened and it was only one of many cases of Japan doing unthinkable things.
Any person from Japan ought to have the decency to be ashamed and just acknowledge that Japan did some absolutely terrible things. Whether or not you are directly involved, your country was. You country is denying absolutely everything they can deny. The people of Japan ought to be embarassed that their leaders would deny everything and vote the filthy bastards out for it. I don't understand why Japan does it the way the do.
By contrast, Germany and its people have behaved themselves much more decently on this. Their government has done many many things to repair the damage (in Russia's case, they took their payback on East Germany). They do not try to tell everyone that they didn't do it. That would be dishonorable, dishonest and a disgrace.
