why japanese want to commit suicide so easily?
-
saw news that two jap school kids kill themselves after bullied by people.
then don't know what minister or officer cannot take responsibility and went to hang in forest.
I long ago heard that they have a mountain for people to go there and commit suicide.
terrible country
people don't want to take responsibility.
even change school text books and say there is no Nanking massacre. -

samurai style
-
the forest I think is called Aokigahara. they have signs telling people to think twice before committing suicide.
-
they have one of the highest suicide rates, especially the elderly.
i wonder if we can challenge them 10-20 yrs from now. -
That's why they can come out with the Kamikaze idea during World War II...
-
Also have group suicides..in case they do not want to die alone.
-
Its in their culture.. Is more honorable to die.. like the man who jump MRT.
-
yes, it's in their culture.
Kamikaze - The tactics used in war to die together with enemy.
sumarai spirit - loser kills himself. They think it's better to die in honor rather than live in shame.
SM - they love to hurt themselves. -
because they have no courage to face the truth. as in the world war. the officers killed themselves cos they cannot face the fact that they lost.
-
well at least they have the courage to admit fault and kill themselves
there are people in Singapore who lost billions of dollars yet pretend that nothing has happened -
japanese also faces alot of social stress and pressure, ever since they lost the war, individually, they have to cope with a lost national identity.
even if the whole economy turned into a powerhouse, personal health suffered during the process..
dats why they have a desire to return to more fundamental values in life for support, like the sumarai code, religious doctrines, etc.
not a pretty sight. -
so you mean those who admit thier mistake should all commit suicide?? they want go die cos they want to shrink responsibility. imagine they die and leave their families alone to pick the mess they had left behind? unless if they are disabled and want to die cos they feel a burden. this i can understand.Originally posted by korusu:well at least they have the courage to admit fault and kill themselves

you dont wish them to win the war, do you? anyway, they have mentally invaded other countries with their inventions and creativity. i admire them for that. they are intelligent in this way, i cannot deny.Originally posted by Ito_^:japanese also faces alot of social stress and pressure, ever since they lost the war, individually, they have to cope with a lost national identity.

Sorry if you think i am extremist.Originally posted by Ito_^:better den denying it and say its for your own good. -
Its not just simple bullying IIRC one of the girls interviewed on tv was saying that her classmate(female) was made to strip naked and photos were taken.

i wished for them not to embrace militerism in the first place. war is no good for either side - no matter who commits the most wrongs.Originally posted by jacqn:you dont wish them to win the war, do you? anyway, they have mentally invaded other countries with their inventions and creativity. i admire them for that. they are intelligent in this way, i cannot deny.
their inventions and creativity is pressured by decades of social stress and repression. can admire, but cannot envy. imo la.
anyways, i was refering to pap in my other reply.. -_- u suddenly say ww2, confused me. -
but the fact is their race did embrace militarism for some timeOriginally posted by Ito_^:i wished for them not to embrace militerism in the first place. war is no good for either side - no matter who commits the most wrongs.

and they physically commited war crimes, not their politicians.
war crimes commited by the japanese race were directed at asian civilians,
not on asian politicians or military.
it is logical to say they as an entire race deserve to be taught a
lesson that should involve the destruction of ten million
japanese lives. the fatalities should be youthful and healthy,
not their greying community.
they should feel honored being able to teach the world
that their war crimes are unacceptable and the price they pay should be horrific.
can't forever scapegoat their emperor and politicians though it's more
convenient for now
