| You seem to me more a human right activist or a politician than a business woman, dear. Why bother the issue when it has a long way to go before it is passed into legistration. 120m Japanese are wise enough to choose their best representatives in the Houses to discuss and vote/boycott the bill into law. Mind your business and live a happy life. Let the politician do their job ! Vietnam T.  2005/09/05 22:59 |
| As for the guy who kept on revising the translation, well all I can say is that he has so much time in his hands. Instead of criticizing the grammar, rhetoric and sentence patterns, he should make it a point to do it positively. Some people are just so arrogant and think too highly of themselves. Sad to say, instead on commenting on the issue this guy just gave his comments on the translation. He should concentrate on the content!!! Oh well, we could not please everybody but we should just continue on doing good things :) Philippines B.  2005/09/05 14:43 |
| This kind of news is always extremely worrying. I wonder if it wasn't inspired by the US patriot act. In order to help mobilize public opinion against this new law, we should include some references to the legal discussions, or, if possible, the actual text of the new law. It's not enough to know that a new law is coming. We need to know what the law is if we are going to fight it effectively. The comments by Francois Coppe are, quite frankly, an insult to the original writer. Yes, I agree that proper citations are needed, and there are improvements that can be made. But that does not in any way excuise the sarcastic and inflammatory language he used. I challenge him to write a document of such length in a foreign language unrelated to his own of this length and in proper academic style. Until then he should keep his bile to himself. I could go through his comments and pick them apart as he picked apart the original writer, but I am not so petty. He also shows he is unaware that the writing style and choice of words varies depending on the target audience. England F.  2005/8/24 |
| I looked at the post, geez, I did not know that was going on. I hope your efforts pay off in a good way! Japan is taking away your freedom of speech...I am sorry I cannot vote. U.A. G.  2005/08/24 7:10 |
| I have read it, and even proof-read it for you. I took my own time to do this. Continuing  Canada Francois Coppee  :2005/8/23 |
| I think the following is the most frightening: "Anybody who expresses any form of dissent in any forum or medium, even through the internet, may be subjected to summary arrest without need of a court order, as required in regular cases. Worse, even without court warrants, searches and seizures may be effected on any house, persons and things." Japan (and also america) is turning into the old soviet union. laws like this are being passed in america too. Actually today i had a job interpreting an interview with a genshi hibakusha for a documentary. how soon before we enter world war 3?? Thanks for the link, U.S.A. L.  05/07/27 19:37 |
| The article is very good. I like the style and it is very close to what I used to say. It is very important to have a proper information at any time and everywhere. With kind regards, Russia P  . 2005/07/27 1:48 |
| Original: Sie sind immer sehr involviert in die politischen Ereignisse, durch Sie erfahre ich sehr interessante Neuigkeiten. Ein derartiges Gesetzt erinnert an das 3. Reich unter der Nazi-Herrschaft, wo man verhaftet und umgebracht wurde, wenn man seine Meinung gesagt hat. So ein Gesetzt passt nicht in ein zivilisiertes und modernes Land wie Japan. Ich bin sehr uberrascht, das so etwas moglich sein kann. Ich sende Ihnen die besten Gruse nach Shinjuku, Deutschland. F.  19. Juli 2005 16:32---------------------------------- English: You are always involved with some political cases, I have experienced very interesting new information through you. That kind of law remembers me The Third Reich under the Nazi regime where we suppressed and murdered, when we spoke our opinion. Such a law doesn't fit the civilized and modern country like Japan. I was very astonished that this kind of things can be possible. I send you the best greeting to Shinjuku. Germany F.  |
| Opinion from linked websites/e-mail translated in English |
| I`m completely against the Human Right Law How come the law that supposed
to protect the human right takes the expression right from us It is extremely unacceptable to release the names of who are not supporting this law in the public It will cause more discrimination R. 2005/04/29(Fri) 19:27 website (1) |
| Many of my friends have already given up however they must understand that giving up to fight means killing themselves. I want to stand against the law that is called as a Protecting Human Right however it is not other than the law that disturbs other people's human right by the too much protected human right.

| It seems our final method of fighting would be a radical one however we have to increase our members and hold resistance activity. The people those want to let the law to be enacted have prepared since many years, trying to cheat the opponents by traps. To find out their trick and chase the malicious men must be required.
