With a legal sex age of 13 you can understand why he/she thought that. However I believe a lot of areas are change the minimum age. Don't know to what age though maybe 14.

With respect your friend talks crap and making a sweeping generalisation of a city with a population 2.5x the size of London that makes Edinburgh look like farmland is silly. Its like saying Edinburgh is a 60's shithole after visiting Pilton. Theres odd places in Tokyo, Harajuku for instance(which I don't understand at all) but Harajuku doesn't = Tokyo and Tokyo doesn't = Japan.

Of course it was a generalisation but there is still an odd attitude to sexualising young girls compared to the west. One example she gave was a bar next to the hotel she was staying in thats USP was businessmen playing board games with young women dressed as schoolgirls.

Joey J J Jr Shabadoo Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I remember watching a documentary about Japan, about 20 years ago. There were vending machines you could buy schoolgirls pants that had been worn. It didn't say who had worn them, mind - maybe a 60 year old bricky? Certainly looked a strange place.

Different cultures, hence you can't compare ours to theirs and vice versa, in fact I'd doubt any Asian country could be classed as 'normal' according to European standards.

There are places where girls most of who were under the age of 14 who are there to keep grown men company and you can take them for a walk. Creepy as fek. On further investigation it was a bit more than that. The imagery in general is of children in a sexual nature. Have a watch and tell me if you are comfortable that it's solely "culture" Edited January 30, 2019 by jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 By the way the age of consent in Germany is 14. But if you are over 21 and have sex with someone 14 to 15 it's illegal. So while you may be right you are also wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said age of consent is 14 nothing about the age of the other person. You know we would be classed as paedophiles in alot of countries such as Ireland and Turkey for having sex at 16. Your taking what you class as a sexual nature based on what we have here where girls wearing short skirts are slags etd. Guys taking young girls for a walk is creepy but they probably see that as something as innocent as taking a mates kid to the football.

Sharpie Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Just recently forty seven men were arrested at a Vancouver hotel for illegally hiring under age girls for sex. One was a teacher, one was a fireman and one worked for a City in the education department. The whole thing was the result of a sting by police acting on complaints from street trade workers. (hookers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunks Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Japan is an amazing country. Tokyo, like many capital cities, is a contradiction of itself and attracts much of the population from those that feel like they don't conform the norms of Japanese culture outwith the capital city. You still get vending machines for pants and beer on the streets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) I had a passionate hatred of Japanese as a result of childhood wartime tales. They were cruel, particularly to prisoners of war,they were easy to hate. As time has gone on and having met a number of Japanese Canadians I have always found them polite and pleasant. One thing I have realised is that people my age, born in Scotland had quite a lot of hates during our lives. Boers, Nazis, Japanese, for a short time Jews in Palestine who murdered British soldiers. Egyptians, and the list goes on. Funny enough when you meet people your own age from these countries you find that they had the same choices as yourself, to hate all the others, and basically to shuttup and do what you were told.

queensferryjambo Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I have worked and lived in Japan on more than one occasion. I have also worked with lots of Japanese people in the past whilst over here in Scotland and when I worked in Ireland. I found the Japanese people to be the nicest friendliest people I have ever met and I have travelled about a lot when I used to work field service. A more respectful, helpful and courteous nation of people you will never meet. Generalisation of an entire nation as paedophiles, whale killers and World War II war criminals is as hilarious as it is ridiculous. It's like saying every Scotsman is an alcoholic, imperialistic war monger who is a fully fledged member of the slave trade. People need to get out and travel the world meet real people and stop watching extreme sensationalist bullshit on TV & youtube IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
