Yes, and the flag should be officially banned in public places too, as was the Nazi flag in Germany
Yes, it is the equivalent of the Nazi swastika flag and is unacceptable in today's world
Yes, because it reminds Japan's neighbours of its past atrocities
Probably. It would be so easy to choose another naval ensign, even the "hinomaru" flag.
No, there is no valid reason to change Japan's naval flag.
No, it is a cultural symbol of Japan('s military)
No it stands for Japan's eternal Empire of the Rising Sun. Banzai !
No idea
Don't give a damn about the Japanese flags
I tend to agree here. As for the argument that it represents Japanese imperialism and should be banned then why not ban the French, British and Spanish flags. After all their imperialism was brutal in some countries.Originally Posted by mikecash
The Nazi flag was a flag of a political party, not a national flag. It became a national flag when the Nazis took power. The 16 ray flag is an ensign in the same way that the Jack of any navy is a ensign. It doesn't mean anything political.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...Remember the Siruis Cybernetic Corportations motto: Share and Enjoy
