Okay, the US is constantly reminded of its past regarding racial issues and war, Germany for the jew thing, and Europe as a whole for tons of **** . Go after the Japs for actions that may just be worse than the holocaust? Sorry can't do that or we lose the whole America over did it with the nuke thing.

They did acknowledge what happened last year they paid 10.8 percent (31million dollars) of the money to UNESCO. By looks of it Japan isn't playing because its in debt and China is asking for money on documents that aren't even verified to be true. Also the documents UNESCO found came form China. Japan tried to see check how valid the documents are with the experts in China but China denied for the documents to be recheck.

If Japan isn't paying because it's in debt, then why didn't Yoshihide say that was the reason and just not mention the Nanjing documents?

It may be because of the debt, but Japan sure isn't making it seem that way.

So, basically, there's a chance China is pulling an Israel and wants to get free **** , because of past war crimes, even though they've technically already been compensated?

China isn't getting paid, the UN is.

The UN is not China.

The world really needs a blank slate action, the crimes of the past are all forgiven and people can get on with their lives. Honestly it was forcing people to pay for past crimes that ultimately gave rise to WW2, Hitler used the bleeding of his nation for war reparations to polarize the german people behind him, I know its godwins law type **** but history does repeat itself. This whole punishing the children for the sins of the father **** does nothing but create stupid pointless rifts in society.

However I know how people are and a blank slate action will likely never happen because people are stupid and stubborn, specially about **** they had no part in.

No one is punishing Germany or Japan, but you simply can not deny what they did. We must never let the world forget the horrible things that not only they are responsible for but what humanity is capable of.

Actually, the Greeks recently tried to claim several billion of 'unpaid war repairs' because Germany wouldn't loan them more free money and was demanding payments.
#13 to #11 - anon (10/24/2015) [-]
yeah but Germany settled the war reparations with Greece back in the 1990's, people are upset with Greece not because they're asking for money, but because they're invalidating the agreement they made already.

There's a difference between frying japan to pay for its crimes, which this isn't about and expecting japan to not deny or downplay it's bloody past.

I'm sure you wouldn't be okay with germany threatening to cut un funding because poland gave the un documents on dachau camp.

Here's the thing, though... I'm from the Netherlands.

We were involved in Bosnia during the Serbian kebaba removal operation. As you all know our UN mission over there was a failure. We got **** on by our allies, who refused to give us the air support we were promised, we even got shot at by the people we were trying to protect at some point. It all ended when the Serbians blockaded the compound and our men were told to surrender by their higher ups. This ended in the removal of 8000 kebab.

We went there to protect these people. What happens? They're still trying to sue us out of our ass for the 8000 dead kebab. We went there to try and protect them, we failed. They deem our apology on our failure as an opening to sue the **** out of us because the UN is immune.

tl'dr

Tried to protect kebab instead of just letting them die. They die anyway, and blame you. Don't help kebab.

Forgot half way that I was trying to make a point.

Point is, let the past rest, for christ sake.

That is very easy to say from your point of view, but if you were Jewish and Germany was denying the Holocaust or you were Japanese-American and the government of the USA said Japanese internment camps never existed, I doubt you would have the same opinion.

Same thing if you were Chinese, especially if you are from Nanjing.
#15 to #8 - anon (10/25/2015) [-]
I don't think they're denying the whole thing, they just don't wanna pay reparations for it.
User avatar #16 to #15 - fappafappafap [OP]ONLINE (10/25/2015) [-]
This isn't reparations, this is threatening to cut funds because documents that speak ill of your country are accepted by the organization.

It's not refusing paying reparations if Canada refuses to donate money to the UN because of the UN accepting documents of residential schools abusing Natives. Same thing here. If Japan was in debt and didn't wish to pay it, then they could claim that was the reason. But the Japanese guy in the article said that was not the reason.

'Japanese-American' lol now I heard it all.

That means Japanese born in America, you nitwit.

Those who forget their past is bound to repeat it.

No one is blaming Japan for anything, we just want them to acknowledge that it happened.
