For your convenience, I should have put these from the beginning.

English source:

Government denies that "comfort women" were coerced by the Japanese military.

A scholarly article
explaining how Shinzo Abe's government denied coercion in 2007.

Here's the formal Japanese record from the congress.

That's an insult to gigantic global sewers.

Yes. Couldn't have said that better myself.

Why do you want the source (?) of my nationality rather than that of my arguments?

I mean, by questioning my nationality you basically told me I was lying about my nationality. And, you say that wasn't going to upset me? It makes no sense.

And how am I supposed to prove my nationality? Was I expected to be stupid enough to upload my passport? But even then, how would you verify that's actually my passport?

I don't know how anyone can expect otherwise, but it's only natural for the conversation to go hostile, whatever excuse you make with after the fact.

Yes I'm angry. But anyone'd imagine you write your comment differently if you didn't want to anger me...

I don’t think you’re wrong and haven’t tried to do anything to prove you wrong

That doesn't make any sense...

According to you, you merely asked me if I'm actually a Japanese. No intention to disprove my argument. Instead, you wanted to argue, uhm... what?

The only answer I can come up with is the following.

1. you intended to attack me by proving I was lying about my nationality, for example a country hostile to Japan doing propaganda
2. then you failed
3. you have to save your face
4. so you claimed that you didn't fail with your attack, because you were just asking a question

If you have an alternative explanation, you are welcome to tell me that.

Actually, Yuki himself explained it. I think he meant they wanted to do the one-stop strategy unlike others.

“We were listening to what the tyres say and they held on quite well in the first stint. That helped, I think that was a key moment. I think in the end, what we [did] on the strategy itself was okay.

“Even [if] I did the same exact same strategy as the top teams, I don’t know if we’re able to finish P6 anyway. So I think we don’t have regrets.”

(Actually I wrote another comment saying the same, but at the time I didn't know Yuki's quote. In addition, that comment of mine doesn't show up, so I assume there was an error and my comment didn't register in the server.)

Sorry to hijack your comment, but I'm tired of these people who can't be reasoned with. They have poor reading comprehension. They criticize people for wrong reasons. And when cornered, they make up word definitions to pretend they've said nothing wrong. They call people trolls.

You asked someone else in this thread to produce a type of document that has never existed for anything (a government agreement that a word means a certain thing)

I asked for that document because I suspected it does NOT exist. In a series of trying to prove me wrong, you have only continued to make the wrong assumptions about me. Just stop.

that’s a giant red flag that they’re lying about being from the country

A giant red flag that was wrong. Again, nice try.

If someone references the last well known leader to ask about a country, that’s a giant red flag that they’re lying about being from the country

And you were wrong. Nice try.

I raised Abe's name because Abe's conservative voter base who demanded such a change.

Get rid of that "this person is not Japanese" attitude. It only humiliates you. Are you a proud nationalist or something?

Your argument below is suspicious:

Here in Japan, the term comfort women is used for the exact same reason it is used in English and around the world: it clearly and unequivocally describes the people being it is used to describe.

Can you show me a source of this?

That's what I asked. You didn't, and started calling me a troll. I clarified my argument and you just continued calling me a troll. That's on you. You can't show the source.

I'll take your words seriously after you learned that calling someone a troll is not a pass to properly making an argument.

Conspiracy theories are the concept you are talking about imho.

My imagination is that TT is a supereffective propaganda machine because you don't get the time to think. In that sense it sends falsehoods to subliminal. Am I right? Is there other aspects that makes it dangerous?

Not sure outside the US. Also, even in the US I only heard Stanford doing this openly iirc and if I think about it.

And you call me a troll. Wow.

I'll take your words seriously after you learned that calling someone a troll is not a pass to properly making an argument.

You made an argument. I'm demanding the source of your argument.

So, no, you don't show your source. I treat your argument as such.
