  1.  @ghostghost1913  Are you suggesting that Unit 731 was not real?

  2. Yamino やみのOkami おかみ, Can you explain your comment about christians forcing their religion on others? Do you think this is currently happening? If so, where?

  3. lionslash232 I'm not surprised. There seem to be a lot of people commenting on Nobita's videos who have some interesting things to say about women. I did a quick search and one of the first things I found was an article that said women suffer from guilt more than men do. But just as anyone can write an article anyone can write comments here. I probably shouldn't hold my breath waiting for an actual citation supporting the claim.

  5. gunzonlinefifaonline, Three times a day? Don't you mean muslims pray five times a day? What is your source for saying that most muslims aren't religious?

  6.  @Riposte8  "This is a little different where US does celebrates all the killing they did in WW2, which includes the atomic bomb and fire bombing of civilians." I haven't ever heard anyone in the US celebrate killing. Well, ok, the one exception I can think of is perhaps the death of Osama Bin Laden, which seems to have made a lot of my countrymen happy. WW2 is still discussed and debated. But. Winning a war usually involves killing the enemy and that is discussed and debated as well.

  7. I think a few of your viewers would have been interested to know if gaijin are welcome at brothels in Japan. And when I say a few of your viewers I really mean me. It's also interesting to me that I didn't read in a single comment about the one state in the US where prostitution is legal in a few counties. Anyway, this was an interesting look at one of the differences in cultural attitudes.

  8.  @xXKillaBGXx  If the Jews were really running the banks more people would convert to get that action.

  9. Nitin Shukla You're conflating a few things here. The illegality of particular drugs varies by country. I understand that operating a motor vehicle under the influence is illegal in most countries and it may not matter if the drugs you are taking are legal or not, the question is do they impair your judgement. There is a legitimate question as to whether or not people should be allowed to put whatever they want into their own bodies and a legitimate question to be asked if governments should have the power over you to force you to act as if you have no judgement or conscience of your own. This question has arisen at least twice in the my country, first with alcohol when an exception was made for religious purposes and a second time when no religious exception was made for marijuana.

  10. Nitin Shukla, Everybody should abide by the law? Doesn't that presume that the law is morally good? Is the law always morally good? Would you still continue to abide by the law if it required you to do something that was morally repugnant? How far would you go with that? If the law required you to do something that would certainly result in another person's death even if that person had done no wrong, would you do that something just to make sure you were abiding by the law?

  11. Thanks. This was pretty interesting. I'm curious to know how Japanese Christians feel about the way Christmas is celebrated in Japan by the majority of Japanese. I'm a little surprised that there was no mention of the Goto Islands where there appear to be a large number of churches in a smallish space, probably because so many Japanese Christians retreated there when they were being persecuted.

  12. Fascinating. Thanks very much.

  14.  @arison9876  You appear to be moving the goal posts, it was their governance that you said was invisible, and yet you are still able to see it. The rest of what you wrote is either an appeal to authority or an appeal to antiquity neither of which are dispositive. You appear to still be standing by your claim that you can see something that is invisible and you haven't produced evidence for it, just more assertions. Stop making claims on the intertubes and then telling people to stop asking about it. You made assertions and it's always fair play to challenge an assertion. Or do you think your words and commands should just be accepted and obeyed?

  15.  @arison9876  But you are in a position to make assertions that you cannot provide evidence for.

  16.  @arison9876  It's up to you to provide evidence for the assertions you make. Can you or can't you?

  17.  @arison9876  Another assertion that you can't provide evidence for.

  18.  @ericiriarte6111  Did Japan communicate their desire to surrender to the Allies before the bombs were dropped? If the military leaders knew that the war was lost, why not arrange for immediate surrender after the first bomb? AFAICT those targets were considered to be military targets.

  19.  @ShadoFXPerino  "Japan was forced to fight the US." No.

  20.  @BlackWingedSeraphX  Some of 731 was tried by the Soviet Union. AFAICT it wasn't a pardon but immunity from prosecution, although that might be splitting hairs, either way it was shameful of the US to do that.

  21.  @ghostghost1913  If the bombs had not been dropped what do you think would have happened?

  22. Why do you think dropping the bombs was shameful? What alternative would you suggest to help win the war?
    2
  23.  @dannielz6  "they could have dropped the first one in a rural area to show the Imperial leadership of the US' capability" And yet, dropping one on an actual city with, IIRC, close to one hundred thousand immediate casualties didn't make the Japanese government surrender. I very much doubt that a demonstration would have been effective.

  24. Reean Mahmud, I watched the video he made and I think he said that his family was threatened. I don't recall him saying that he was assaulted.

  27.  @verdanthyborian2322  How can the Jews control the Free Masons? What special power do they have over them?

  28.  @ΜιλτιάδηςΣταθόπουλος  A very interesting claim. What's your evidence?

  29.  @ΜιλτιάδηςΣταθόπουλος  I think I saw that in a movie. An ancient text and some magic spells and popcorn. All very convincing.

  30.  @arison9876  I think if they really controlled the banks and had a magic books no one would be able to ban them from any country on earth.

  31.  @arison9876  Invisible? And yet somehow you can see them and you know what they're doing. How can you do that?

  32. I wonder how many of these young ladies marry vs moving on to other kinds of service jobs as they get older.. I wonder if many are in school earning their own way. I'd like to know what the pay scale is. 300 women even at low wages means a lot of people must be visiting. I'd like to know about the 'mistresses' who visit. And last but not least, 5000 visits for 'Super Black' status? 5000? Really 5000? If I've done my math correctly that's over 13 years of visiting every single day. Makes me wonder what those drinks cost. Over 13 years every single day. Wow. Besides which, I'm gonna go ahead and guess, just based on the picture of all those young ladies that 13 years after you start going probably none of the woman who were there when you start going will still be there. Nobita, thanks for this. It was an interesting thing to see.

  33. What do you think America and the Allies should have done differently during WW2?

  34.  @juno4255  "Dropping the bombs was totally unnecessary" What alternative would you have suggested?

  35. Carter Danowski, If you believe in the bible then you have faith and since faith can be defined as belief without proof then if your standard is the bible doesn't that imply that you can believe anything since no proof is required for your belief?

  36. What is 'IQ'?

  37.  @krashme997  "same as the March 1945 Tokyo fire bombings or the atomic bombs" Do you think that the US should not have attacked Japan? If you think that Japan should have been defeated, by what means do you think this defeat should have been achieved?

  38. "I do not believe that the use of the bombs was necessary. I also believe that it was unethical." Why do you believe the use of the bombs was unnecessary and why do you believe it was unethical?

  39. Fascinating. I read as many of the comments as I could and now I can't get that time back. It wasn't a war crime. At least not at the time. If it had been the people who bombed cities like Warsaw, Rotterdam, and London would have been prosecuted. Both Hiroshima and Nagasaki were considered to be military targets. A full blown invasion probably would have resulted in millions of more deaths of Japanese. And a lot more Allied deaths as well. A demonstration, dropping the bomb in a place where it wouldn't have killed anyone, would very likely not have resulted in surrender because dropping the bomb on an actual city did not result in surrender. The bombs weren't dropped on Germany because Germany surrendered before the bombs were ready, whereas Japan was ready to fight to the bitter end. Japan attacked the United States. An embargo is not a good excuse for initiating hostilities. But still, it's completely reasonable not to like the bomb or its use. I don't. But I think the question is, what was a realistic alternative at the time? I mean one that would have been politically acceptable in the US at the time and resulted in the defeat of Japan, which is after all the usual purpose of war. Or at least I'm pretty sure thats what Clausewitz and Sun Tzu would agree on. Japan and the US have a treaty which allow the US to station troops in Japan. Japan is still a sovereign nation. The treaty can be dissolved by either nation and it will be when it no longer serves the interests of both nations. It seems that both nations want closer ties. Did I miss anything? While many of the comments have asked you to comment on various criminal actions of Japanese during the war, I think these are well known. Instead I would like you to comment on the various Japanese projects to develop atomic bombs, none of which, thankfully came to fruition. Wikipedia has an article titled, "Japanese nuclear weapons program" which covers these. I'd appreciate you covering the legal, ethical and political aspects of these projects and why the US was able to build the bomb and Japan failed. Do you consider the Japanese who worked on these projects to be war criminals working in support of an illegal war of aggression?

  41. Jack Glastra. "legislative morality" must qualify as one of the best oxymorons of all time. Finding those two together in a sentence is shocking enough, if I found them together IRL my head explode. ;)

  42. "As an American, I am deeply disgusted and disturbed that we dropped nuclear weapons on defenseless Japanese civilians." What alternative would you have suggested? " I think it is a horrific war crime," What law was it against at the time?

  43. One wonders why the US didn't do even more evil after they won the war. Helping Japan recover economically? Helping Japan, for lack of a better word, modernize? If the US became evil, where are the evil acts that an occupier might perpetrate. I'm not saying that the US was perfect. I'm absolutely certain the Japanese would have preferred to not be occupied. But saying that the US became evil seems a stretch.

  44. And let's not forget Japan's projects to develop a bomb.

  45. "Hiroshima was a war crime/against humanity." Show me the law that was against please.

  46. I'm afraid that the perpetrators of the war, members of the government and armed forces of Japan, are no longer with us or have already been tried for their crimes. So whatever revenge you seek is really no longer available. Sorry. I hope you can find some other pointlessly self destructive thing to hope for.

  47. Maybe more to do with economics? Besides, what makes you think that started with the US? Watch more old Japanese movies.

  48.  @LightYagami-rz6su  The US may have heavily influenced Japan after WW2, but I've seen a few Japanese movies that predate US involvement in WW2 that show Japanese women being modern. Wearing western clothing, having jobs, smoking cigarettes. It's not clear to me that this started with the West or with the US.
