Mr. Ando’s Thugs, the ‘10-Rule-90′ Principle and Slave Mentality

Mr. Ando’s tiny thugs continue to create a nuisance by littering our sidewalks with a new urgency. The litter, by the way, ends up on Mr. Ando’s desk the following day, but that is hardly the issue!]

Yesterday a gang of five or six juvenile delinquents from the school stole a child’s scooter which was parked outside a neighbor’s house. The gang leader somehow managed to get his feet on the tiny scooter, and disappeared downhill to the cheers of his fellow gang members.

Not far from MR Ando’s school there’s another school, a private high school affiliated with a regional university. The behavior of students at this school contrasts sharply Mr. Ando’s students. They don’t litter, brawl or steal from the neighborhood [to the best of my knowledge.]

WHY is there such a big difference between the two schools? The answer has a lot to do with the ‘10-Rule-90 principle’ and the slave mentality. More on these later…

Compulsory Teaching of Patriotism at Japanese Schools

Indoctrinating Children with Patriotism at Japanese Schools

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s ruling coalition voted for a new law requiring schools to teach children to be patriotic. The upper house will debate the new legislation this month (June 2007).

Protesting against the bill, opposition members of parliament warned that it could spread nationalism.

The Japanese psyche seems possessed once again by the Meiji ideology, thinly disguised as “the attitude of loving our country.” Still haunted by the specter of its wars of aggression in the last century, Japan is once again heading towards nationalism imperturbably.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise, however, since Japan is living beyond its means, importing more than 60 percent of its food and 96 percent of its energy demands. As the world’s natural resources continue to shrink, the elite (the ruling minority, which comprise about 8-10% of Japanese population) is taking steps to protect its own interests through spread of nationalism that will eventually lead to militarization and war.

“Since the feudal times when the people went part and parcel with the land under the daimyos [feudal lords, heads of companies], it [has been] the nobles’ policy to keep people ignorant and dependant, in order to control them.” Writes Toshihiko Abe in Japan’s Hidden Face, aided by “a servile mentality [that] has been ingrained in the Japanese people throughout a thousand years of slavery, ever since domination by the T’ang Chinese in the 7^th century, a fact that has been hidden from the people.”

No wonder then Mr. Ando’s school like so many other schools in Japan breeds its quota of “patriotic” thugs to fight in the forthcoming wars that are being staged by the ruling elite.

Send your thugs to Okinawa for retaliatory action, Mr Ando!

Send your tiny tikes to Okinawa to do some good, Mr. Ando, they will have plenty to retaliate. Why not teach them to protect the chastity of the local damsels in distress, for starters, instead of condoning their antisocial behavior toward friendly foreigners (see previous post).

One recent survey by a school teacher on Okinawa found a third of his female high school students had been sexually molested by U.S. soldiers, a violation U.S. base officers have often dismissed as ‘flirting, because boys will be boys.’

Since the end of WWII, the livelihood and human rights of Okinawans have been violated by high-level noise pollution from military drills, aircraft accidents, environmental destruction, and crimes committed by U.S. military personnel.

One of the worst postwar crimes committed by US military in Okinawa was the 1955 rape and murder of six-year-old Yumiko. The accused, Isaac J. Hart, was not convicted. In 1995 three US servicemen abducted and gang-raped a 12-year-old girl; however, Japan could not try the accused servicemen at the time of the incident because the US-Japan Status of Forces Agreement gave US soldiers immunity from local laws!

Xenophobic juvenile delinquents

____________________________________________________________
Meet four of the xenophobic juvenile delinquents (from a gang of about 20 or so ninja turds) at our local junior high school.

Starting May 18 through May 23, 2007, a gang of juvenile delinquents from a nearby junior high school, on their way home, targeted my house. They chanted loud, presumably shouting obscenities at me, as they threw empty PET bottles in the front and backyard. On the second day, I chased the gang, yelled at them and made them remove their garbage. 

After two repeats, my spouse and I finally complained to the police. They advised us to talk to the school authorities. The deputy head teacher, Mr. Ando promised to investigate. While we were in Mr Ando’s office, my partner overheard two teachers, who had seen the photos, referring to the gang members as the ’same students who had just damaged a fire hydrant.’

The next day Mr. Ando came over to the house, not to apologize, but to ‘explain,’ even condone the thuggish behavior. He said his students didn’t target our house, but retaliated against me because they felt intimidated!

Come again? Intimidated? Retaliated because someone stood up to antisocial behavior? Is that the kind of reasoning you teach at your school, Mr. Ando? The perverted logic that starts wars you can’t win?

‘Boys will be boys,’ said Mr. Ando, or words to that effect [even if they commit antisocial or criminal behavior.] Where did I hear that one before, Mr. Ando? Surely, you must have heard the colleague in Okinawa who reported that a third of his female high school students had been sexually molested by U.S. soldiers, a violation U.S. base officers have often dismissed as ‘flirting, because boys will be boys.’

Send your tiny tikes to Okinawa to do some good, Mr. Ando, they will have plenty to retaliate. Why not teach them to protect the chastity of the local damsels in distress, for starters, instead of condoning their antisocial behavior toward friendly foreigners.
