Tsushima mo Abunai!

[vkladchik]

Here's an interestingly sensationalist article on the Korean "takeover" of Tsushima.

Japanese expression of nationalist sentiment never seems to evolve, or gain nuance.

投稿拒否になってしまいそう。。。（臭いギャグでごまかすなって？）

そこで質問！日本史・日本文化という枠組み内での「宗教」に関する投稿は大丈夫ですか。たとえば、今Ernest Satowの「神道論」という本を読んでいるのですが、それについても投稿したらダメですか。

Japanese religion and politics are on topic, as long as they are presented and discussed neutrally. I'm sure you'll agree that:

isn't exactly neutral. What we're trying to avoid with that rule is divisive religious and/or political debate.

When you're right, you're right.

You can be right in a quarrel in a bar too, but the management will still ask you to take it outside.

[Wakannai]

Spot on as usual.

You can be right in a quarrel in a bar too, but the management will still ask you to take it outside.

Except in this case I'm telling management that they're right, right? So I don't understand what you're getting at.

Edit: Oh, you thought I meant "I" by "you"? No, no, no. If I meant "I," I would've written "I." I was telling whoever it was that said that what I wrote wasn't neutral that he's right. It wasn't neutral, so obviously it didn't belong.

Edit 2: It was richvh.

Normally I would have taken it as the way you meant it, but given your Idi Amin allusion and somewhat 開き直った attitude elsewhere I felt that you were probably just insisting that neutrality didn't matter since you were right.

I only made that Idi Amin allusion because you were encouraging me (I'm kidding--you seem to get a lot of flack for not being the nicest person in this bar), but I was a bit harsh with Hevrae, which was obviously no good.
