Legal is legal and laudable is apparently subjective. From my perspective, the same could be said of liberalism, legal and laudable are two different thingsLegal and laudable are two very different things. Those who seek legal loopholes are seldom laudable.
Not at all subjective; legal loopholes deals heavily in ethics. Seeking a legal loophole to violate the intent of a law is unethical (link).Legal is legal and laudable is apparently subjective. From my perspective, the same could be said of liberalism, legal and laudable are two different things

The exception for research on whaling was intended to be a way for researchers to kill the occational animal in the name of legitimate research. To create a junk research organization as a front to a whaling industry is not a reasonable interpretation of that exception.

The ICR is widely criticized for using lethal means to collect data that can be collected non-lethally.How else should we research reasonable whaling without whaling?
Do you expect us to respect you for seeking legal loopholes to violate your treaties?And do you think your country has the right to dictate us what we should eat and what not?
I thought that whale meat wasn't popular, but now it's the reason you have a longer lifespan. Which is it?Japan has the longest lifespan in the world. We do something right then, right? Maybe we should dictate you what to eat
You signed an anti-whaling treaty yet are still whaling.We violate no treaties. Its completly legal. Why do you say its illegal since thats a lie.

Do you think finding legal loopholes in treaties a good way for your nation to build and maintain relationships with other nations?

Japan is home of one race. Japan is not a multicultural nation. Again you are wrong. So it is racist.
Perhaps there's something lost in the translation, but that Japan has citizens of various races is undeniable fact.
I've participated in his very first thread on this forum. If anything his negative feelings towards the US and Christianity have gotten far, far, far, far, far, far, far worse with time.Nice work Merope, Skaloop and kermit. If you have been following young Akira's threads, you would know that he already has strong negative feelings towards the US and Christianity. You would also know that some of us have been communicating with him on his threads to show him that what he has seen of the US is not the way the many of us act or live. Nothing like showing him that he has been right all along.

You might be wiling to kowtow to his extreme xenophobia, but I am not. His nation, while laudable on many thing, also has a history of racism, genocide as well other negative things. All nations have done bad things and I don't criticize Japan any harsher than any other nation, but at the same time I refuse to sit idly by and let someone falsely claim that their nation is without fault and that anyone who says otherwise is racist who is attacking Japanese culture.
less than 1% are another race than japanese.
Beside that, its almost impossible to get the japanese citizenship.
Even some Koreans who live in japan in 4th generation, were born here and grow up here do not get our citizenship. Its imposisble for foreigners to become part of our society. You can be a visitor, a tolerated guest. But never a true japanese. If you would know Japan you would know that.
In English "kowtow" generally means to give into.I´m not chinese, no need for "kowtow".
Less than 1% is enough.
Almost impossible. But it does happen. Also, which country one is a citizen of is not the determining factor of their race.
Someone of any race who is born in Japan to parents who are stateless is considered a Japanese national.
Furthermore, there are Japanese people living in places that are not Japan (there are even some in China), which further shows that being Japanese is not a race (if it were, people would cease being Japanese as soon as they left its borders).
Finally, one cannot change one's race. One can change citizenship or country of residence.
And look, even if you want to consider Japanese to be a specific race distinct from all other nations, it is unlikely that the person mixing up the Chinese and Japanese uses for whale was working under that definition, and therefore no racism was intended
