For what I can read part of the problem is cultural: in Japanese culture confronting "superiors" is almost anathema. You can't have democracy if you are raised to think that those in charge deserve your bows instead of your spits (or either one depending how they behave, of course). IMO Japanese are culturally a bit too polite, specially with those who serve them as public managers.Majuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369840391933337204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-11323632912274806012012-06-17T23:53:45.051-07:002012-06-17T23:53:45.051-07:00Dear Japanese readers, please excuse the German Gr...Dear Japanese readers, please excuse the German Greens for their insensitive and intrusive bluntness.<br />This is a mentality thing.

The "Shame on you"... is a prelude text taken from some other context, maybe a discourse by someone in Japan or whatever (not specified).<br /><br />Still I am of the personal opinion that if you really feel the need to spit on or throw shoes to some criminal high profile minister or president, suit yourself. He/she probably deserves much worse.Majuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369840391933337204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-8683953323413596072012-06-16T15:05:07.012-07:002012-06-16T15:05:07.012-07:00Please find these, print them large and bring them...Please find these, print them large and bring them to the rally next Friday evening in front of the PM's residence. It would be great to be able to remind the Japanese media, Noda and the DPJ that the PEOPLE OF WORLD are allied with the PEOPLE OF JAPAN against the restart of ANY nuclear reactors in Japan.<br /><br />And many, many sincere thanks to all of those organizations and individuals around the world who have spoken out against Noda's nuclear war against us. I cannot tell you how deeply moving and encouraging your actions are to those of us on the front lines here in Japan. Your support gives me new energy to keep fighting.

What I did find, however, was the German home page of a member of the Green Party and the German Bundestag (parliament?), Dr. Thomas Gambke. It claims that he and another member of the Green Party collected nearly 6000 signatures on a protest letter to PM Noda, including signatures from all parliament (?) members of the Green Party. The site provides a link to the pdf version of the letter, which indeed starts out with the somewhat rude opening. The link is towards the bottom of the page and the letter itself is in English.<br /><br />http://www.t-gambke.de/cms/default/dok/412/412313.unterschriftenuebergabe_sayonara_atomkra.html<br /><br />Hope this helps.<br />*mscharisma*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
