oo 1 Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 Minister blames women's advancement for school slaying Saturday, June 5, 2004 at 05:45 JST TOKYO — Disaster management minister Kiichi Inoue suggested Friday that women's social advancement is to blame for a recent murder case in which an 11-year-old girl admitted to killing her classmate at a primary school in Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture. "It seems to show that assertive women are increasing," the 72-year-old Inoue told a press conference, referring to the Sasebo case. "It must be the first such case involving a girl," he said. "The gap between men and women appears to be have been narrowing recently." Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 Hmmmm, Inoue is 72 years old, so, Im quite sure he hasnt had a new idea in 5 decades. Japan is a great place but the people who have power and control everything are ignorant. Its like being back in the 1950s in the States. Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 1 Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 Exactly Yuki's Passion although even re-runs of "Happy Days" would be too racey and progressive for this old fogey. Just another clueless dullard using armchair sociology (from the regressive school) to find an explanation for what was an isolated case. This girl quite clearly has psycological/social adjustment issues and was acting as an individual. Link to post Share on other sites
Karnidge 2 Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 Surely we all blame the internet though and these horrid bulletin boards/forums and chat. Evil. Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 1 Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 Yes, all this alienating virtual-dialog makes me want to stab someone . Perhaps Takeshi Kitano is to blame because the girl refered to "Battle-Royale" on her website. Link to post Share on other sites
Karnidge 2 Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 Shit, you've got a point there, dude.... I think some blame must go to Snowjapan because they also have a popular forum (on the internet, no less) Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Yes, if we do something bad, we can maybe blame Ocean11 for forcing us to do it. Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 I bet he still has his job. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Yes, I'm still employed oo. Thanks for your concern. Apparently the girl in question had actually seen one of those socially unrealistic but gory murder dramas the night before, that involved somebody getting their throat cut from behind with a box cutter. I find it odd that the victim's name and photograph is released immediately whereas the attacker is protected with the most solicitous care. Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 I mentioned that to a Japanese colleague as well last night - and they said "well they haven't been proven guilty yet" Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Although the victim is clearly guilty of being a victim eh? Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 It makes a whole lot of sense... Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Apparently the victim's father appeared at a press conference the same day. I would imagine he was goaded into it one way or another, possibly just by expecting that was how he was supposed to behave. I didn't see it myself, but his reaction to some of the questions suggests that he may not have been told the full story by then. Link to post Share on other sites

KlingKlang 1 Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 The father didn't know that a girl did it in the interview. He handled it very well, considering all. I hear he is in the media business himself (reporter??) Link to post Share on other sites
