Seoul Calls On Japan To Compensate For Wartime Past

[mikey009]

my english has been getting worse and worse, so apologies. i meant that japanese don't choose to be ignorant, they just aren't given the facts, so in that regard they are more indifferent, even if it comes off as being ignorant.

anyway, the japanese perspective isn't an entirely improbable one. in the eyes of the japanese leaders of the time, the west attacked the east (imperialism, colonization, etc). so in order for japan to ensure its survival in the world, they saw it fit to adopt western policies of imperialism/colonization. it's a sweeping generalization, but nevertheless a legitimate perspective (whether or not its justified is a different matter).

yes that couple with their samurai ways and u get one fuked up oppressing wonnabe colonial power. killing, raping and ensalving a large chunk of asia. the stupid thing is that there still they to deny the things their past 'war heros' did.

South Korea's incoming leader Lee Myung-Bak said yesterday he would seek "mature relations" with Japan and would not seek an apology for its brutal colonial rule over Korea in the last century.
