ヘイトや優生思想の表現について規制、あるいは、メディアが掲載すべきではない論の根拠として関東大震災の朝鮮人虐殺やルワンダのラジオの話を持ち出す人が多いのですが、現在の日本と比べて、政治体制や社会経済情勢の違い等を無視するものであり、説得力はないと思います、

相次ぐ不祥事
ＪＡＸＡの前の理事だった国際統括官が収賄の疑いで逮捕された文部科学省では、去年から不祥事が相次いでいます。
去年１月には天下り問題が明らかとなり、当時の前川事務次官が辞任したほか、43人の職員が懲戒処分を受ける事態となりました。
さらに、加計学園の獣医学部新設をめぐっては、内閣府などとのやり取りを記した文書の管理や公表の在り方が大きな問題となりました。
ことし３月には、前川 前事務次官が中学校で行った授業について文部科学省が学校に調査していたことが明らかになり、国会で「行き過ぎた行為」だと批判されました。
そして、今月は、私立大学の支援事業をめぐって東京医科大学に便宜を図る見返りに受験した自分の子どもを不正に合格させたとして、佐野前局長が受託収賄の疑いで東京地検特捜部に逮捕されました。
While recent press reports have focused on the expansion of North Korea’s Chemical Materials Institute (CMI)—a key facility in its production of solid-rocket motors for missiles—in the months leading up to and in the aftermath of the US-DPRK summit, these efforts have actually been ongoing for at least the past eight years. This activity indicates that the North is continuing to expand its production capabilities to produce solid rocket motors for the Pukguksong-1 and -2 and potentially the -3 and beyond. The Pukguksong-1 submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) began testing in 2016 and the Pukguksong-2 medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) began testing the following year, but both presumably have now halted as part of the DPRK’s moratorium on nuclear and ballistic missile testing
“Trump has rejected a detailed pact that kept Iran out of the nuclear weapons business for a decade, while embracing a vague communiqué that allows North Korea to keep its nuclear weapons for years, and possibly forever,” Mr. Haass added.
At the same time, the officials warned, Mr. Trump’s premature declaration on Twitter that “there is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea” could come back to haunt him. That statement took much of the pressure off Mr. Kim, and appears to be helping him evade international sanctions, with the help of China and Russia.
His comments were the latest example of how the president is casting the best possible light on North Korea’s steps so far, ignoring that the country is still producing nuclear fuel and, some American intelligence officials suspect, adding to its arsenal of 20 to 60 weapons.
The dismantlement of the missile site is significant because it will slow the North’s ability to test weapons’ engines. Given its history — it was from that location that the North at least twice launched primitive space satellites that experts in the West saw as experiments for firing a warhead — it is reminiscent of other steps that the country took a decade ago, when it blew up the cooling tower of a nuclear reactor.
But its weapons-building continued.
The current and former diplomats and intelligence officials said Mr. Trump has convinced himself that the only hope of coaxing Mr. Kim to give up his weapons is to effusively praise him. That means ignoring the tens of thousands — if not hundreds of thousands — of North Koreans whom Mr. Kim has put in gulags, his execution of perceived opponents and his refusal in Singapore to sign on to any document that created a timeline for denuclearization.
WASHINGTON — After declaring he has plenty of time to solve the North Korean nuclear crisis, President Trump celebrated on Tuesday what he claimed was an early victory: satellite evidence that the country is dismantling a missile test stand in a small first step toward securing commitments made by its leader, Kim Jong-un, last month in Singapore.
But inside the White House, Mr. Trump’s aides wonder whether they are falling into a familiar pattern of endless negotiations with the North, which in the past has destroyed a few symbolic facilities but kept expanding its arsenal.

軍事力に頼るのは時代遅れで、ソフトパワーこそが重要だというEUの主張は、EUの当事者たちにも嘘くさく思われ始めている。
Brussels’ insistence that what matters is soft power while military might is obsolete is starting to ring false even to those making the claim.

For six years, John Mark Dougan was an officer with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.

“The laws are very strict and the practice is very-very leisure and very easy. Everyone was wondering how could it be that Germany has one of the strictest laws and always, depending on the ranking, is number three, in small arms is even number two of the biggest world arms trades and weapon producers? So, where’s the gap?”
“There are several ways through which the arms industry influences politics. For instance, the SPD politician Johannes Kaas in 2005 received – via his district chapter – some 60-80 thousand euros in small donations. They were split up in such small amounts that he didn’t have to declare them,”
“You can say anything in Germany, as long as you don’t attack the government for illegally selling weapons,” Grässlin said.
Delving into the German arms industries’ dirty secrets can come at an even heavier price, since “accidents” can happen to the whistleblowers and people are genuinely terrified to speak out, Grässlin claimed.
“In Germany, they don’t shoot you in your head. In Germany they do it with a tragic accident of a citizen ‘who had a car accident,’” he said.
Another major German arms producer, the Rheinmetall Corporation, has seemingly dodged German laws in a simpler way, moving its factories to other countries with more lax weapon export rules. A subsidiary of Rheinmetall conglomerate, RWM Italia, came into the media spotlight following a Saudi-led coalition bombing run on October 8, 2018. It emerged the munition, which killed a family of six, including four children, was made at RWM Italia’s factory in Sardinia.
The scheme used by Rheinmetall provides even less accountability since Berlin can shift the blame on Italy, where the factory is located, while Rome can point fingers back, stating it’s actually owned by the Germans, the Redfish said.

The general consensus among social scientists is that the deterrent effect of the death penalty is at best unproven
Uniqueness of the death penalty
It's argued that retribution is used in a unique way in the case of the death penalty. Crimes other than murder do not receive a punishment that mimics the crime - for example rapists are not punished by sexual assault, and people guilty of assault are not ceremonially beaten up.
Camus and Dostoevsky argued that the retribution in the case of the death penalty was not fair, because the anticipatory suffering of the criminal before execution would probably outweigh the anticipatory suffering of the victim of their crime.
Others argue that the retribution argument is flawed because the death penalty delivers a 'double punishment'; that of the execution and the preceding wait, and this is a mismatch to the crime.
Some people who believe in the notion of retribution are against capital punishment because they feel the death penalty provides insufficient retribution. They argue that life imprisonment without possibility of parole causes much more suffering to the offender than a painless death after a short period of imprisonment.
Another example is the planner of a suicide bombing - execution might make that person a martyr, and therefore would be a lesser retribution than life imprisonment.
問われているのは、朝日の認識だろう。多様性というだけの理屈なら、一夫多妻を否定することはできない。これは空想の話ではなく、ドイツでは、イスラム難民が何人も妻をつれて給付を受けたり、幼児婚の妻を連れたりしてきている。朝日はそれも認めるのか。 https://t.co/EfT8HbSd46

性的少数者をあからさまに差別し、多様な性のあり方を認めていこうという社会の流れに逆行する。
国内外の潮流に押される形で、昨秋の衆院選の公約に「性的指向・性自認に関する広く正しい理解の増進を目的とした議員立法の制定を目指す」と明記、「多様性を受け入れていく社会の実現を図る」と掲げた。杉田氏の主張は、この党の方針に明らかに反する。
