	I'm sorry, sir, but I don't understand what you want to say here.  I 
	guess Mr. Shojinaga has never ever raped women, nor killed people.  
	I believe he has not forced any Korean girls to serve soldiers.  Of 
	course I never have and never will.

	If you want to call the military who did aweful and shameful things to
	your ancestors, and I know they were Japanese Army, that's fine.  But,
	sir, would you stop just picking up ANY Japanese and call him/her Jap?
	Why should an individual be blamed for the things he never did and 
	called JAP just because he happens to be a Japanese?  You are not 
	blaming my kids in the future (I'm not married yet) for the same issue
	and calling them JAPS, are you?

	Is this the logic that you are the flower in the center and the others
	in the four directions are all barbarians or undeveloped tribes?
	(Sorry, this was a bit sarcastic.)
	Again, this is just blaming and insulting each other.  I will not 
	generalize anything about the Chinese just because of you.  And I 
	believe many Chinese do not generalize like you do.  Of course there
	should be and must be people think like you do, EVEN in the Japanese.
	If you don't believe it, that's fine.  But would you just quit insulting	anyone on this public space.  If you want to, just do it individually 
	and call any Japanese Japs DIRECTLY.  That might let them think about
	the issue more seriously and subsequently let the goverment think.

	I am NOT just trying to avoid being called Japs and justifying what 
	the Japanese Army in WW II did.  I'm not saying the Japanese government
	does not have to apologize, nor they should.  (Right.  I have not 
	expressed myself clearly yet, have I?)  I'm just saying that we cut off
	this insulting each other.  Please.

		Finally, my opinion toward the issue.
		I myself think the former Imperial Army should be responsible 
		for what they did on the continent and other Asian countries, 
		and, since most of the central staff of the military were 
		executed but the compensations have not come to end, the 
		current government should take over the responsibility and
		seek the way of compensating the victims of the war.
		If an official apology is needed, there should be.

		This is my personal opinion and ALL flaming and blames on this
		should NOT be on the net but MUST be directed to me, otherwise
		nobody shall get any response.
