No but if you get hired with a certain amount of money agreed upfront to do that then IMO its none of my business. While many if not most of the surviving "comfort women" claim they got kidnapped and used at slaves, very little real evidence if any exists that this was indeed the case for the majority of them. And as far as I know just the same amount if not more evidence exists that a large amount of those women were hired to do the job and - albeit somewhat naively - went ahead with that believing that comfort job would be just - sorry - somewhat more comfortable than it proved to be. We see the same pattern in Europe now with a lot of women from the former east European nations accepting jobs as "house maids" or similar and being "helped" into those "comfortable" Western nations to pursue those jobs only to discover that the promised comfort is less comfortable. As usual the truth is most likely somewhere in between. Taro
