The BBC and United Nations make reports about Human Rights issues in Japan. They do write that the Japanese people as a whole are lacking in morality.

Also, the problems mentioned by the UN report on Japan are the same, if not worse, in South Korea (no law against racial discrimination, poor legal rights for foreigners, etc:

Ah, so the BBC and the United Nations must be horribly racist as well? Yeah, they're real "petty." Truth be told, the state of human rights in Japan is horrible, whether for its own citizens or for ethnic minorities, and is well documented by many impartial sources.

Because most of their citizens have been “brainwashed” by their goverment (though the Chinese have been affected more) already.

” (my parents always say this to me)”

I think your mother had a good reason to say to you, “Before judging others, take a good look at your self.”
Why didn’t you follow her advice?

I guess you believe that Korean and Chinese can not say things nice about Japanese.
Why?

Before reading the article, I already know what it’s about since it is coming from Korea (and many other times, China).

When it comes to Japan government doing its own histroy, there may be nothing that seem unreasonable opinion to non-Japanese. Unfortunately, it seem to me, what Japan government are doing for its dark side of history is like that the government are raping its own people… Just condemn your government stop doing stupid and childish things instead of wasting time criticizing another stupid Korean news paper. All know Abe saying or doing stupid things to please some generations that are old but think like a kid when it comes to international matter among other Asians.

It is time to put a period with a big thinking. Nobody will look down to J government or Japanese. But all respect their courage. I saw one article somewhere that every year Japanese Navy academy sends students to show a great respect to a Korean navy admiral who died 500 years ago. This is what others show a respect to Japanese, who respects even its enemy.

I believe those comfort women deserved some respect from younger generation of Japanese. And I hope J government do the right thing.

Maybe Korean do have inferority complex.
But if you are representing typical Japanese, then I am confident that Japanese seem to have the same inferority complex as Korean…

When did I say anything about the entire nation of South Korea? I merely mentioned the fact that this particular newspaper, which is so quick to condemn the entire Japanese nation’s morals and ethics because of an argument over historical apologies, is failing to cover the far more important and current issue of the South Korean government’s failure to save these refugees. I can’t find anything in my post that condemns the entire nation of South Korea.

Hmm aren’t you doing the same with the newspaper though? On the account of one newspaper, you’re calling all of them hypocrites. I just love how people jump on this and insult a whole nation of millions of people. You really think all koreans are like the people who write that newspaper? What is this article you write about for? to stir up the ultra nationalistic Japanese? comon. At least stand on higher ground.

Koreans seem to have a HUGE inferiority complex.

Koreans have a blind spot about the size of Dokdo/ Takeshima when it comes to Japan. It’s usually best to roll your eyes at the editorials in the papers here and go look at the photos of the latest starlets.

if ever there was a better case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Korea == Rosie O’Donnel

Japan == Donald Trump

not saying exactly that Korea is a fat lesbian with an inferiority complex.

It shouldn’t be a news at all for South Korea that Japan is not ethically advanced, whey do they keep telling that?

Interesting story. Par for the course recently, it seems.

That said, the funniest part of that Korean editorial are the Google ads at the bottom of that page: ads for teaching in Japan and finding jobs in Japan, the terribly ethically poor nation that it is.
