Tokyo’s reigning r**e novelist Shintaro Ishihara has proclaimed the recent earthquake and tsunami are divine punishment (“tenbatsu”) for the sinful depravity the Japanese people now embody.
Asahi press club journalists quote him as saying the following when asked “how should the Japanese people view the quake?” in connection with the recent power trouble:
The identity of the Japanese people is greed.
This tsunami represents a good opportunity to cleanse this greed, and one we must avail ourselves of.
Indeed, I think this is divine punishment.
When asked by an incredulous journalist as to whether this was an imprudent utterance better not reported, he responded “It may be harsh for the victims to hear, but I want you to take it down and report it.”
He is currently running for his 4th term.
honestly…huh…it’s more like just being in a bad spot….really…..sinful..how is living & enjoying life sinful…ok..i’m no where near the area of saying whats sinful…but i think the enjoyment of one’s life is all about doin & watching & enjoying what one does in said life…& i think japan had it good other than the nuclear reactor goin to s♥♥t….sounds like he’s goin all jesusy… ugh…come on dude..time to understand that mother nature just dropped the island in a really bad spot…..enjoy your money…you have all been blessed….
The point of the story: anime and manga fans + otakus should become politicians themselves to stop this madness
A person that says someone who dies is deserving of it, isnt a person themselves.
oh god not this s♥♥t again.
seriously ishihara f♥♥k you
Divine retribution? If anything; it’s for the mistake of electing this guy more than once.
