Translation Corner

[Abriael]

It's unfortunate when someone uses the knowledge of a language to try and further his personal agenda.

The thread about death penalty is not even nearly split 50/50. The ones arguing for harsh death penalties like xp/sp ones are a very small minority compared to the bulk of the thread.

Personally, I would not advise to trust the "translation" from someone that has expressed a very adamant position for one side of the argument, as this thread clearly shows. And as I did the same, I would not advise blindly trusting me as well.
I will advise instead to read the Japanese forum for yourself. Unfortunately it's not as effective if you don't know the language, but there are workarounds.
Google translator isn't nearly perfect, but it makes it quite easier to at least understand the meaning behind posts for non-japanese speakers.

Here's the translation of the death penalty thread accessible directly: Link

And if you're interested in other threads, you can access the whole autotranslated forum here: link

You can browse the forum normally as you would browse the english one. The only restricted part is that you won't be able to post (as you can't login).

The translation isn't perfect, but it will sure be more precise and complete than an extremely brief summary given by someone that may use it to further his arguments.
