Japans new nuclear weapon program

reality is that any politician who,oberrides the emperor would simply be murdered within days from some nationalists and be replaced from a more suitable condidate. Thats what i call political evolution. The last politician who spoke against the emperor was sliced with a katana live on TV...

Honoring the emperor is japanese dogma. In a way its the ultimate form of democracy since all the authority of the emperor exists only because the people give him that authority out of free will. As you said yourself, nobody must follow him per law, but the bug majority grants him this authority out of free will.

 

...which would seem to suggest that the politician went against the will of the people in that instance.

The power is still coming from the People. Not the Emperor. Your scerio only works so long as the People agree with the Emperor.

If the Emperor declared that Japan belonged to the United States, what do you think the response would be from the civilian government?

 

At the end of WWII after two nuclear bombs, the civil government of japan did still want to fight, the military was willing to accept the nuclear bombs and even calculated that the us could not have more than six and they saw this as acceptable ... it was the emperor who finally did stand up against this and said he will not accept that his people suffer any longer. It was one of those rare occassions that the emperor did use his authority. Im not sure if americans know how isolated the emperor was. His mother hated Tojo and tried for months to get acess to the emperor to tell him whats going on. The imperial court is a shielded world and it is hard to know what imformation the emperor gets.

 

Japan was not a democracy at that time. The Japanese masses had no legal authority to overrule him. That is not the case now.

A good example of why Monarchies are an awful form of government.

 

Lol I guess that's why the United States ranks number 3 on the Human Development Index and Japan ranks number 10.

That was actually rather shocking to me myself, I knew we always do pretty well but usually not that high up, yay us I guess lol

 

Ever went out and saw how unfair whealth is distributed in USA? You have incredible rich...and 3rd world status poverty. You wont see such bad areas in Japan that you have in your country.

 

Japan was a democracy back then, in case you dont know, Tojo was elected out of office during WWII and later came back into power. But thats not the point, the point is, that the imperial court is aware of this problem Our emperor goes out now and visits the country, talks with people, simply to know whats going on. And i see that as a positive thing. Its a fact, that politicians with bad intentions used the isolation of the imperial court and the authority that the emperor has for their own goal.

Change is possible, even in a 3000 year old dynasty. That the emperor goes out is one thing, another is, that empress michiko was the firet empress who raised their own children and she had to fight hard to break that tradition. Now our prince Hisahito has the ability to go to a normal school and play with other children

 

Then why does the U.S. rank higher on the Human Development Index and even on the Human Development Index adjusted for inequality which Japan refuses to even produce the necessary information for because the inequality in your country is so insane that your government is too embarrassed to provide the necessary data sets putting your nation along with that of the oil Sheik states in terms of ridiculousness!

Furthermore; the United States ranks 24 on the Satisfaction with Life Index; whereas, the Japanese rank all the way down at 90 right between Yemen and Ghana! lol

Saudi Arabia scores 31, only a little below US, a land where there is no freedom of religion, women have little rights and poverty statistics aren't even publicated by the gov. I wonder how reliable is that classification...

 

While a totalitarian (*)(*)(*)(*)hole the Saudis do have a massive welfare state.

 

Japan's welfare expenditure is 17% of the GDP and scores higher than US ( 14,8% ). I think that classification you linked is more about how much people are actually satisfied of their lives rather than how well the state runs. I think Japan classifies so low because many japanese place their own duties and labor above personal happiness ( thus resulting in more suicides, because failure at job is seen as much worse a disgrace than other places ).

 

exactly. This chart is psychological and it simply states, that japanese are harder to make happy than americans for example. It is in a way a bad habit here. Japan is one of richest nations on earth. The infrastructure is so advanced, that its simply without competition worldwide. Japan is called a country that already has evrything. But you can´t buy happiness with fancy technology. Our culture is in many aspects very melancholic.

 

Does this move oppose and eradicate the Treaty of San Francisco.

Japan is an important allay of India in Asia other than Russia of course. Due to the Chinese aggression Japan and India are strengthening their ties even more. Both countries are pretty powerful in the continent and that should be a deterrent to China from any kind of non sense.

 

China seems to be messing with the world. It has territorial disputes with nearly all countries geographically close to it. Be it Japan, India, Philippines, Vietnam, Bhutan, South Korea, Taiwan etc etc. And recently they have started a war of words with USA. They even fight with the EU countries. This is an ace strategy to isolate themselves. Also read this article: http://lifepeddler.blogspot.in/2014/03/why-chinese-govt-should-shut-up-stop.html

 

I appreciate japanese mentality, which places job and honour above personal happiness and gain ( mostly ). If only the rest of the world had the same valours as japan, we all had a lot to gain from it. Shamefully some things can only exist in small scale i guess... US, but mostly all the rest of the world, pales compared to japan's efficiency per productive unit.

 

What is even MORE amazing is that Japan does not have-and-far as known-never did have a nuclear weapons program....but this thread has rumbled along like an out-of-control manure cart.

What Japan had was power-producing reactors -of the old sort- which produced enriched Uranium and weapons-grade Plutonium as a matter of course.

These unwanted by-products were turned over to the US nuclear establishment, which promptly carted them away-per contractual agreements.

Japanese (and other) Left Wingnuts used this as a basis to claim Japan was making nukes.....and thousands of knee-jerk sycophants chimed in.

So: what else is new ?

 

Japan is NOT making Nukes.

But Japan is perfectly capable of doing so.

But this will NOT happen.

Akuma:

Don't waste your breath explaining yourself to Anglo-American fools. They pretend to be against Communism while celebrating Communism taking over the entire planet in WWII (through their help). America legitimized the Soviet Union by recognizing the legality of the Bolshevik government the same year they were committing the worst genocide in history in the Ukraine. They did this after annihilating an entire continent of Indians but don't hesitate to pass their judgement on others when it suits their hypocritical agenda.

You won't find anything here but ignorance and stupidity. Now they're trying to figure out why America has been taken over by the very ideology they helped enslave the entire planet. As a saying here goes, `their chickens are coming home to roost.`

American will be a Mexican ruled third world hell hole in another 30 years. Don't rely on this nation for anything unless you're relying on it to fail miserably. That is the only sure bet.
The British will be taken over by Muslims.

You'll outlast all of them because you have your pride - something they only pretend to have but will never understand.

Good posts through out this entire thread.

I wish the Japanese luck in carrying the torch of civilization when the light of the West had gone dark.

 

Well...aren't you a ray of sunshine? LOL!!!

I take it you are a person who believes that Multi-Culturalism is a BAD thing?

AboveAlpha

 

Multiculturalism is just a code word to destroy Nordic nations by legalizing citizen invasions from the third world. I only support it for my enemies.
I'm not going to hijack Akuma's thread with an entirely different discussion, though

 

Well....Akuma is listed as a friend but I understand why he is posting what he posts.

You on the other hand....Multi-Culturalism is a STRENGTH of the United States and has been for over 200 years.

It is hard for some to understand that the more differences that are within people....the more things that are the SAME will become apparent.

The greater the number of differences in race, culture and religions the greater the number of ideas....thus the greater the dynamics of a system.

The greater the dynamics....the greater the system.

Yes, a "strength." It gives us lots of crime and savagery and in exchange we get a variety of restaurants.
Multiculturalism is only for people with no values and no sense of self. I look forward to it destroying the British and American societies soon.

I have tremendous respect for the Japanese people. The Japanese people and the German people are the greatest peoples on this Earth. They are superior races. Yet, I am sure Akuma would not want millions of Germans coming to Japan and ruining Japanese culture, just like I would not want millions of Japanese coming to Germany and ruining German culture (even though Globalism and Communism has already ruined much of both).

That doesn't mean Akuma and I can not be allies and friends. That is true diversity.

You don't value diversity. You value Marxism and call it diversity.

 

Ach du lieber!!! Your Germany!!! Good ol'e Doitchland!!! Food....Folks and the Fuehrer!!! LOL!!!

I think the whole....Master Race thing was blown out of the water back in 1945...don't you think? LOL!!!

Now....I have friends in both Germany and Japan and I like the people and the culture....but if I were you I would not go to any outdoor concerts in Germany spewing out the whole Master Race thing!!!

German youths are pretty Liberal.

No offense but your opinion does not matter to me. I consider it lower than whatever is on the bottom of my shoe.
I did not say "Master race."
