Wow, I'm just surprised at how many people say they agree with the mayor of Osaka in his statement... so if today there was a war, it would be ok for the invading force to go pillaging and raping because all is fair in war? Give me a break, this isn't right, you can't condone rape, you can't approve it, you can't say it was necessary. That's just sick. Try looking at Nanking and say that was necessary. If you do that, why hell, you could say everything was necessary from Hitler's gassing the jews to Stalin sending hundreads of thousands to gulags. I mean, it was necessary for the survival of their countries, right? NO! And if you think that you might need to review your way of thinking, you don't belong to this age and time. And yes, I'm comparing mass raping with gasing and killing. Because they're all bad. The end.
Well good that he acknowledges it. But... he's calling it necessary. So allow me to say, if, in a war, where you're the agressor, you think it's ok for your army to go and rape women... you have a problem. I was talking in other threads about muslim laws, how is this any better? It isn't, same issue, the men think they're above the women and the women are just objects. You might say yes, but this happened in WW2. Well yes, it did, but... the official says now that he thought it was ok... do you see the issue?
It shows that many countries still haven't advanced, even if they seem to have economically, socially they didn't.
No. War is war between 2 nations. It's war between their military and our military. This was WW2 so we can say the people were more barbaric, yet if you think about it, a state condoning rape? That's just sick.
Yes, prostitution is in all these countries... but this wasn't regulated prostitution, it was state apporoved rape. Now you see the problem?
We're not talking about the Red District in Netherlands kind of prostitution, we're talking about full mass-rape in the occupied countries. It wasn't regulated even, it was just approved by the state.
And do you really think being raped by tens of people is better then being stabbed, disfigured etc? It's really not. The rape itself leaves mind scars that will never heal.
The guy is the mayor of Osaka now. And he's saying raping women was ok since the men needed something to do to relax. I don't know about you, but I find this outrageous.
Indeed, fully agreed with this.
