You're getting awfully specific about things I was very general about.

"Polarized" simply means to have opposing factions. They are polarized on the issue... there are many people who posted that want a death penalty and many who posted that don't. Notice how I never said anything about harsh penalties vs. lighter penalties... that's you putting words into my mouth.

So what it's really coming down to here, is you are making up your own definitions. You are separating the people who want heavy and light death penalties and adding the "light penalty" people to your side. You are using semantics to make it seem like I am being biased because you don't like me.


So basically you're saying "listen to me! Don't look with your own eyes!". Are you perchance afraid that people could think that your summary isn't exactly accurate?

Google translator is unreliable only to look for the smaller details. It's quite reliable to understand the general meaning of a text.
Nope, that's what you're trying to make me say. I'm merely pointing out the fact that Google translate is known for being very inaccurate.

I have absolutely no problem with people using it to try and read the Japanese threads. And actually, it might even help facilitate questions being asked. If someone decided to use Google translate, but the result they were getting was nonsensical or difficult to understand, they can ask about it here and get a more accurate translation.
