Thank you. You are anice guy.

my bio:
19yo. college dropout.
enterening best university in my own countyr.
my plans:

he lived on the money of a women!!! maybe I do the same!!!
I am artist too(wannabe designer)

I want to run from my own country to france

I am absolutely useless. But my goal is to join ministry of international affairs

Made me laugh violently.

>>10
my granddad was in ministry of international affairs. haha so . please
dont laugh so violently, maybe someday you will see me on TV
warosu

>>10
Look your face!

and he also was a college dropout!!!
WAROSU!

haha

my uncle could be a fashion model in 70

The Pillows

anyway dear eggplant
I am planing to go to english to study!!! lololol

>>1
You idiot!

What will become of the Japan-US relation if the security treaty expires?

hey eggplant
if you still here, you really should go to the military service.
look if you're losers in "normal life" why dont you start military
service, before it's too late
dont b shy

Don't call my angel Maki chan a eggplant!
You're so rude!

Maki chan has invisible big wings on her back! I can see them growing day by day!

>>23
How can you see invisible things?

How does Maki's fart smell of? Isn't it horribly smelly?

Maki chan's fans live forever. They are nice people.

hikky and neet is straight way to low class

But Maki chan's fan is different from you hikky boys.

reggae made a lazy idiot from you. dont let lazy niggers poison your soul.
study hard, that's your road to the future. learn how to put stones on other people way.

Anti-Maki's fans will be getting rid of Maki's nerds!!

Without idols conversation, the thread would've fallen through.
So in a sense, Maki's fans should be dealt with properly.
But be that as it may, they shouldn't have free rein. That's because
there are many other idol fans in this thread. Why do we have to
talk only about Maki? That doesn't make sense.

Shut up! Maki chan is the only angel!

dont give up on living!!! one day you will be able to enter todai

Hikky leads to madness. please cure from it now.

>>34
I already not to cure. I love NEET.

It's the first time, but I went to gay club today.
That's crazy!
It was an awful experience!

revelation:>>36 WoW!

Do you like Baseball?
Regarding the central league, Yomiuri Giants, though in the fifth place last season,
has got a head start this year and displayed their great strongness so far.
They let Kiyohara Kazuhiro, Rose whatever, and Etoh go from the team last year, and
replaced the former head coach before appointing Hara the current one. Led by the
new leader, the most popular baseball team in Japan has been struggling for the championship.
New players and well-experienced ones have been doing well, of course. But we should
notice the team's success up to now owes a lot to Obana, a newly appointed pitching coach.
The media say that he holds meetings every monday and gathers the pitchers in the team
to instill his pitching theory, and his efforts have bored now.
As a matter of fact, on average, they lost only 3 points a game,
as a result of which Giants has won 11 games out of 14, includind
a draw game. Isn't that a coinsidence? In the year Japan won WBC,
comes back the strong Giants, which once has Oh Sadaharu ,who
led the Japanese representatives in the WBS competitions.

I once read in the news paper that half of the Japanese baseball fans prefers
Giants, a third does Hanshin Tigers.

>>38
I didn't know about the new pitching coach, but agree with you. Giants is really strong in this season. But notice that the league have just started and it is still unclear which team will win.
FYI, im a fan of Tigers.

For your information, Uehara Kohji (Japanese) and Lee Seung-yeop (S.Korean)
participated in WBC.

>>40
To tell you the truth, I don't like Giants. I'm a fan of Yukohama Bay Stars..
I was so disappointed that I said good things about Giants in spite of myself.
That said, accorgind to the media, Giants will win this season, or al least, they want.
How disgusting they are.

I'd prefer Hanshin to become the winner to Giants. Believe me.

Giants won! Today, Giants won against BayStars!!

>>42

well, the only thing we can do is to believe and cheer for the teams, and to avoid watching such puff news

where are links to previous threads?

>>46
on 1

>>45
Yeah, you're right.

I feel happy for Kanemoto! He is somebody!
He never gives in whatever happens. I like him a lot.

By the way, I think we have something in common. I mean, Hanshin
Tigers' fans had a hard time in the late 90's. They must've felt
very shameful in those days. Like I did when Dai-chan supervised
Bay Stars.
How did you feel about being a fan of Hanshin?

just for the record, Kanemoto Tomoaki finally broke Cal Ripken Jr's record
and set a new record. He is respectfully called Aniki(Big brother in English),
and I think he deserves it!

>>48
Thx for bigging up Kanemoto. He is a great baseball player. Although he was traded from Hiroshima, he must be one of the most important and regarded player of Hanshin.

My feeling about being Tigers' fan? In fact, I was born as a Hanshin fan :-)
I was born in Kobe, my whole family members are Hanshin fans, so to be a fan of Tigers is my nature. So, it is a part of my life to cheer for the team whether it is in good form or not.
To be sure, we had a hard time, but it didn't make me feel like stopping to do that.

>>50
That sounds really impressive. So Hanshin Tigers is your passion.
I always feel Hanshin fans are superb in that they never falter when
their team lost and they are strongly believe in their players.
Doutonbori river diving was surely striking. They must've known what
would happen next, very biting smell and stinky stuff. Seemingly,
they were a bit mad, but I saw how deeply they loved to celebrate for
their team. That showed their great dedication to the team, I'd say.

Anyway, about my team BayStars.. As you may know, TBS owns the team,
but look what they are doing! Although they should have supported
Yokohama. They could broadcast Yokohama's games on TV! But all they
have been doing is pretending they are fulfilling the commitment
parent company would usually do. Why don't they advertise BayStars
instead of Giants? I feel really angry about it.

words like violence
break the silence

>>51

Umm... it is difficult problem. In my opinion, the case of Tigers is special.
I mean, its popularity is mostly consisted of regionality. The team has long history and keep attachment to Kansai region including Osaka, Kobe etc.
For example, a Kobe local TV station, SUN-TV, broadcasts the games of Tigers almost everyday during the seasons.
Why they do that? Because many people who can watch SUN-TV, in other words, who are living in Hanshin area, watch the games on TV.
In addition, for good or bad, Hanshin Tigers are regarded as a symbol of Kansai people's anti-Tokyo spirit, anti-centrism.
So, Tigers' fan become mad about the professional baseball games, especially the central league. It is not only sport, but also some kind of politics.
(In addition, again, I actually don't like Doton-bori diving. I suppose that is too drastic.)

Well, I know few things about Yokohama. As I recall the genesis of Bay Stars is from Yamaguchi, isn't it? And it came to Yokohama in 1970's or 1980's. I guess the history of relation between the team and region are relatively short.
And, there are two powerful teams of the central league near by.

This is just my opinion without any certain evidence, but I think these factors make such situation.

Meanwhile, I have to go out for a meal (I forgot to buy foods...). Thank you for chatting with me in spite of my poor English. See you, and let's enjoy the baseball games.

Maki chan has already lost the occupasion in h his heart, hasn't she?

>>55

He is tracherous idiot.

i just got back from chicago. it was a beautiful city & the food was great.

where are you from right now?
usa?

no, mars

i am from a strange planet

The Democrats seem to have taken on a kind of timidity that isn't natural for people who are in the party of Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Woodrow Wilson, Lyndon Johnson, John Kennedy.

>>69
which one,may i ask??

I'd say it's the Korin Planet.

aaaargh... my easter break is almost over...

How about catching a cold and taking another leave of absence?

why bother... i got to work harder later on anyway. besides, i'm
not going to waste my last day off like that, trying to catch a
cold or something.

What's easter break?

Easter is just a christian thing, celebrating the reincarnation of
christ. that's not important for me, though. what's important is
the holiday i get from this.

>>77
Oh, I see. It must be a national holiday.
It's like Greenery Day in Japan.
In observance of the former Japanese emperor who loved plants,
Japan makes a day off.

>>77
Do you live in Gread Britain? How long ago did you get there?
Did you have trouble passing IELTS?

>>78
it's a religious holiday, actually.

>>79
no. i live in paris. but i was in the uk some time ago.
what's the pass mark for IELTS? i don't remember having
any problem though.

>>80
Oh, France. The CPE problem has made news here in Japan as well.
I watched on TV that colledge students and the Unions got together
and walked on the street to fight for canceling the new code.
President Chirac and your prime minister ended up retrieved it, didn't they?

>retrieved it
No, I mean, abolishing it.

>>77
Easter is actually a pagan thing that christians stole, like christmas.

>>81
was a great day! chirac scrapped the bill. haha... de villepin wasn't
happy about that, i guess. but hey, he shouldn't have done it
from the start. good for the students!

>>83
yes it WAS. the rabbit thing was pagan. but now it IS the christian
thing...

anyway, i'm playing around with "stubles!" at the moment.
it's actually very good.

>>86
stumbles! i mean, on firefox

>>84
I wonder if villepin is the prime minister. The minister's name
slipped my mind. Anyway, the Japanese media said although he was very capable
and eloquent, the failure he made this time would lead him to give up becoming
the next President.

>>88
yeah. he is the current PM of France. he became the PM after france
rejected the plan for the EU constitution.

Nyo!

>>89
Thanks.

Concerning the demo, I admire French people's courage to ask for freedom.
I was impressed to know that people can change the authorities' arbitrary decisions.

>>91
i wish the same could've been acheived before the war...
was on the anti-war demos in london. but nothing came out
of that...

>>92
I know what you mean...

This is my opinion. It's horrible that goverments decide on waging wars,
publicly authorizing people to kill each other..

>>92
Bush and his supporters...

I'm a bit worried about Iran-US relationship now.

Japan imports crude oil from Iran and US would want Japan to
conduct economic sanctions on the nation. It's diffcult to
decide whether we should follow America. On one hand, I think
it is time that Japanstood on its feet and made decisions by themselves.
On the other hand, Japanese people feel vulnerable considering
what North Korea would do if we didn't have the US protection...

And discussion about the amendment to the constitution has been
becoming heated recently. We should have armed force or not?

I hope everyone is having a good day!

>>94
i thought there is the "armed force" in japan, called self-defence
force or something. and you know what, americans spell "defence"
as A - T - T - A - C - K and S. and here is another thing:
those who live by the sword die by the sword - so why bother the
japanese stand by the us, and die with her,while all they can
talk about the japanese history is pearl harbour?

Yes, I'm having a wonderful day.

>>96
You are giving me a hard time.

My day is rockin'

>>96

For what it's worth, the US education system ignores all Asian, African,
and South American history prior to the university level, and
European history is optional during high school.

Yes, we are remarkably ethnocentric.

No, I didn't take Japanese history in university...the professor
was a radical feminist and automatically downgraded her male
students.

Yes, I took a graduate level reading seminar (and three
other classes)instead with a professor whose parents had
been in the Japanese-American internment camps instead. By far
he was the best professor I had.

Get armed with nukes and ready.
Very simple^^

>>101
if only geting armed with nukes were so simple. got to do it
before nuked by the americans!

It's a bit costly, though.
Of course, you don't have to use them.

We have to protect ourselves. That's what I meant.
It costs a lot. And we need to keep the good allience with the US.
Needless to say.

good night... need to sleep...

It's crystal clear that the U.S won't permit Japan to get armed
with nukes.
No other countries in the world can compete against The U.S. with military
forces.
you know "When you take shelter,make sure you go under a big tree"
Of course the U.S. is ,needless to say, a big tree.

if WW3 occurs include nuke attacks, my angel Maki chan would run away to the Paradise with me.

>>107
Run away? I thought she would fly away from this crazy world.

Technically, the government needs nobody's permission except for its nationals.
Japan could buy their bonds and feed the US military industry. That would
persuade the US since Japan could never launch nukes at them anyway.
But this may not be the best option because it's financially difficult to
maintain nukes, and Japan would end up in a big part of the NATO in turn.
It's not worth it..

>>106
a big tree, indeed. but rotten.

I am not a pacifist, but I do find it hard to justify the existence
of nuclear weapons in this day and age, especially when there are
conventional weapons that do just as much damage but without the
lingering effects of radiation. We would be far better off as
a species if we took our nukes and used the cores for civilian power
generation instead.

Reality says otherwise, though. There was actually a song back in the
1960s by an American satirist named Tom Lehrer about nuclear proliferation.
If you can find a copy (the song is called "Who's Next?"), the lyrics
still hold true today.

This is the most stupid nuisance on-line site called 2ch.

>>112

I'd say that a bigger nuisance is trying to decipher your sentence.

Also, it would be wise to back up your argument.

>>113
Mind your own business! Don't speak ill of my sentense, You've only to suck my cock to be quiet!

>>114
your cock is so stinky .
because you have a cavalier

>>107
?
?
?
?

My cock is "wrapped cane'. what should I do to make my cock zurumuke?

You hve to masturbate at least 5 times a day .
so your cock will be surely zurumeke

do you remember cold war?

they bullied me at my school because I dont have a father

>>119
I do, but I wasn't old enough to really understand the significance
when it was happening.

>>120
That sucks. I don't have one either. Just remember that it
doesn't make you inferior in any way.

hey I just want to ask.
I once cut myself (2 years ago) there is scars on my veens
is there an cosmetic operation that can erase those scars from my
veens? cuz I think there can be trouble if my future employer seen
those...

>>122

You may be able to get a laser surgery done, but if I remember
correctly, it's not perfect and (at least in the US) is VERY
expensive. As long as they're somewhere that won't be too easy
to see you shouldn't be too worried about it.

/can't believe he just gave advice on this...

ok... I can wear watch on that hand haha

>>122
hide it under the sleeves of your shirt. or when asked, just say
they are scars from your childhood - and you don't remember
what happened.

You may think it difficult to believe,but I'm the Got.

ggg

Hello!everyone!
I am Nanashi
I like 2ch.
I like erogazo,too.

Do you like 2ch?

the Go”t”

>>129
He may be right.
cuz that means great otankonasu tonma

You gave me a headache.

oh,I gave you a headache.That's good
because the more you have headaches,the more wise your brain becomes.
Don't you think so ?

Is that so? I've never heard headache expands your brain power.
Where did you get that information? Did you make it up?
Truth.

Of course it's my joke, I like jokes veryyy much.
and I made fun of you a little.
If you like jokes too,please tell me something funny to make me laugh.

Maki's attraction lies in her looks, not her character.

Tell me what semen tastes like.

I think you've already heard a lot about it.

Before her sending down from the Heaven, how does Maki Horikita spend there as an angel?

I'd like to have a word with you about something of importance to both of us.

you are totally stranger to me.
so there's nothing important between you and me.

We've met before somewhere, haven't we?

I think so. But I'm afraid I can't for the life of me rememver where, can you?

If you are a beautiful woman,we may have met before.
But if you are a man, we've　never　met befor .

Even though she looks like an extremely beatiful woman outside,
she believes she's a man inside.

By contrast, there are men with their minds full of girlish dreams.
Take Maeda Ken for example. He wears peculier outfit to be on TV.

your sayings is so difficult for me as though it's like philosophy

You don't want to put on airs.

suicide is extremely wrong on many levels

oh,you are gonna change the subject.

No, let's get back.

So what's on your mind about suicides ?

What? I don't care about it at all. It's rubbish.
You don't have to discuss it here.

Sorry,I just want to ask for 149's comment.
then what kind of topics do you like ? idols or something ?

If you like.

We should talk about death penalty.
Do you agree or disaree with it?

Hi,long time no see.
I have be the top of my school in English test.
But the other day I fell down.I am sad.

What easy miss it is!

This is Kylin, reporting in for the first time. Nice to meet you, everyone.

>>160

Nice to meet you.

>>156

The death penalty is an incredibly touchy subject...I'm not sure that
I can explain my feelings clearly (despite being a native speaker).
It doesn't help that the system here in the US is extremely flawed and
proven to be biased against racial minorities, the poor, etc.

>>161
Define 'the system' as it varies from state to state as well as federal.
Also, I cannot think of any that have been 'proven' to be racist.

My opinion is that the death penalty is fine in some cases.
I don't think it is a significant deterent though.
We should also be _really_ sure that they are guilty.

>>160 Hi

>>161-162
Death Penalty exists in Japan too but execution rarely takes place because
past ministers of Justices have been avoiding their endorsement on the
papers as much as possible, if I remember right. I heard that's been kind of
an tacit custom for them for some reason, but not humanistic reason or any.
So many death row inmates have been waiting for "the day" for years. That must be
quite a punishment to them. They know it will definitely happen but never know when.

In Japan, death penalty has become a big subject. Here's a story why it's become a problem.

In 1999 an 18 year-old male knocks on the door of an apartment and a 23 year-old housewife
answers it. He has a good mind to rape any woman he thinks looks attractive enough. When she opens
the door, he decides on her as a prey. He swiftly gets one step inside and pushes her down soon after
he closes the door behind. She screams with horror and with all her might she tries to shake him off.
The man gets so beside himself with frenzy that he chokes her, before he makes it with the dead body.
After a while, he notices there is a baby girl who is just 11 months old lying on a crib, crying aloud
and aloud. As he has lost control of himself, he thinks he has to kill it. The murderer takes a step
after another and gets where the baby is. He holds the baby up and throws it down hard against the floor.
The baby, though it can't do anything against him, gets wounded and in a minute is made to end its life
in a gratuitous manner.

7 years later now, after many twists and turns, the supreme court is supposed to give an answer
to this brutal murder case.

Do you guys support death penalty?

It may be advantageous to the society as it will reduce the crime rates
However, do we have rights to terminate one's life?

>>165
Put yourself in the shues of the deceased, and ask yourself the same question you just made.

>>165
In my opinion, lawful death penalty is neccessary.

Ideally, the law acts as an objective judgment standard, which makes it a supreme token of society regulation.
Therefore, the law has the right to deprive one's Rights to Subsistance for him/her not repecting others' Rights to Subsistance.

In real life, however, the judgment system, which is supposed to ensure the law's supreme position, is currupted in most if not all societies.
For instance, there are rich people bribing their way through the courts by monetary donations, and, lawyers exploiting the lack of evidence and turn the guilty to innocence, and so on...

Hence, there is need for modification of the current judging system or even a new one so that the 'correctness' of death penalty and other criminal charges can be improved.

>>167
LOL sorry about the layout of my previous post, i will make it look
neater next time.

It really depends
Such situation varies from countries to countries
Some countries (I'd better not to name them) really has an uncomprehensive judgement system
that rich people can do what you mentioned.

However, we should have a deeper investigation on the meaning of "imprisonment"
It provides an isolated place for the prisoner to think deeply what he/she has done.
They can also experience the feeling of losing freedom.
Hence, some of them will repent after that.

Should we provide them with a chance to repent?
(them refers to those who commit murder or etc for the 1st time)

Do you think Maki chan supports death penalty?

what do you think?

What do I think for what?

Do you think Maki chan supports death penalty? <<this question, do you have any opinion?

I'm of the opinion that she never supports it because she's an angel.

Now, it's your turn.

You mean my personal opinion on death penalty?

>>169
The suggestion on "imprisonment" would be one humanitarian solution to
repent first-time criminals.

However, there are a few questions to such solution(assuming "imprisonment" is legalised):
1. How do we judge whether a "imprisoned" criminal has repented or not?

2. To what extend should law enforcers deprive "imprisoned" criminal's freedom, so that
they will start to repent?

** I think we all agree with the fact that, we cannot judge different "imprisoned"
individuals with the same standards because their criminal motives are different.
So...

3. Would it be more reasonable for law enforcers simply announcing death penalty for
all murderers? So that they would be able to use their limited resources to battle
against more crimes, rather than setting up different "repentance plans" for
different "imprisoned" criminals. (Although this does sound not as humanitarian
I must agree. T_T)

That's all I can think of for the moment, brb.

We should do away with death penalty no matter what they say.

I wonder if there is a sub-course on Prison Design&Construction
under the course of Civil Engineering in uni.

The issue of the death penalty also comes down to whether or not
you can trust your government to only exterminate the right people.
In the US, there have been between 40 and 120 people who were
sentenced and had it overruled thanks to the rise in DNA evidence,
proof of falsified evidence and testimony, etc.

In day to day life, I'm against putting people to death. In a
military/warzone setting, where lives are on the line and trust
is essential, things are different.

>>174
Sorry, I'm a foreigner. I know that Maki is an idol singer,
but does she have an official (and porn-free) website? What
songs has she done?

what does "lol" stand for?
i see this "lol" stuff quite often
and so i would like to know...

could any one tell me?

thanks 

LOL is short for Laugh Out Loud, but I've seen some explains LOL as Lots Of Laugh.
You are welcome.

And the use of "lol" is quite similar to "w".

i understand...
thanks for your explanation...

nice to meet you Kylin

are you an American?

>>185
Nice to meet you.

I am from China.

Oh, which city are you in?

Your English is really great

^_^ Thank you.
I live in the city of Guangzhou, which is 2 hours train ride
away from Hongkong.

In fact, I am a university student in the UK, I've been studying in the
UK for almost 4 years, and I am now taking a gap-year back here at home.

in fact i am not a Japanese either

Quite surprised to see somebody like me, who are not Japanese here.

This board is getting more and more famous across the Globe now.

No one is here.

There's only one way that I know of to do that: one of the
cable/satellite channels has a TV show where 16 people compete
for a presentation slot at one of the big fashion shows in NYC.
Most of the contestants went to design school and have done
amateur or small town work before, so they have some qualifications.

The show itself is a lot of fun to watch, as every week the
participants are given a design challenge ("Make a dress using
plant leaves", "Create an outfit for one of the other contestants")
and a team of judges vote one of the contestants off.

Otherwise, getting into the fashion industry is like getting
into theatre or film - it's who you know (and can get you a job
or apprenticeship) more than what you know.

>>202
haha, ya. (but i'd prefer TV drama rather than movie one)

>>203

I haven't seen the film, but saw all of the TV series. We weren't
sure whether to laugh or cry when we saw Yamada's room for the first
time - especially when we were able to identify about half of the
figures and posters on his walls.

>>199
:D Densha is said to be a legend risen from this board, there's a noval
about it, in fact the noval is a collection of messages on this board.
But due to the original authur was a common internet user, so he did not
discribe Ms.Hermes very well. That's all i know about.

>> everyone,
I have noticed that there are only a few of us use names on this board.
Would it be more convenient for all of us to recognise each other with names?

>>204
LOL i think the term "Otaku" is very interesting...
Could anyone who lives in Japan tell me what do you know about Otaku
and how you feel about it?
Thank you.

>>204

That sounds interesting!
I can't believe a guy who spend all their leisure time and money on comics stuff..

>>206
I'm not in Japan, but I will say that the term "Otaku" has a very
different meaning in the US than in Japan. American anime and
manga fandom have adopted the term to basically mean "Someone who
considers themselves a serious fan". Someone who watches Naruto
on the cartoon channel wouldn't consider themselves an otaku.
Someone who downloads episodes of Naruto off the net with amateur
subtitles 48 hours after it airs in Japan probably would. Even
so, most people who are "otaku" by US standards tend to get out
frequently and have some form of employment and social life. US
"otaku" are a far cry from the extremes portrayed in the Densha
Otoko drama (Yamada's friends) or Welcome to the NHK, and the
casual use of the word here always shocks Japanese guests at US
anime conventions.

>>207

Most of my friends (including myself) who are into anime and comics
have a fairly diverse set of hobbies. My last roommate, despite
helping to organize a huge anime related event (25,000 people) also
snowboards, camps, has a girlfriend, and bowls in a league. I'm
also interested in theatre, history, British culture, and cooking.
With the rise of net culture and the dot-coms in the late
90s-early 00s, a lot of geek subcultures that were previously
shunned started to surface to the mainstream. While some of my
coworkers still think that watching cartoons as an adult is weird,
it's not a stigma like it would have been ten or twenty years ago.

Otaku can be described as the person/people that are
absorbed into the something...

this "something" could be any thing...
music, anime, cartoon, idol, movie/film, motor vehicle etc

this is a general term that describes Otaku...

sometime otaku  is taken as a negative meaning
by some japaneses, but my understanding is as above...
for me there is no negative meaning...

For the extra info, AKIHABARA(秋葉原) is known as the place
that Otaku gets together...

I watched the special episode of denshaotoko. It is the conversation with the actor (Otoko) and actress (Ms Hermes)

It tells us the "toy" that Otoko loves most(he put it in front of the computer) worths 4000000yen!

Cant believe that!

>>207
I have a friend studying in the UK, who has a pretty much similar way
of living compare with Densha. He's got bags of Gundam and other comic
figures, indulged in video games(he's got all the gaming consoles
and heaps of games)...

So apparantly, this friend of mine matches most criterias of being an
"Otaku". But he's quite easy to get along with.

Therefore I guess "Otaku" might not be as horrible. Or, is there other
things about "Otaku" that i don't know about?

>>210
As i have read some articles concerning "Otaku", I wanna know whether real Otaku really cannot live without the comics..?

>>212
That might be the difference between Otaku in UK and Otaku in Japan

in HK, there is also Otaku, but the thing they love is quite strange -- bus.
they spend most of their time on having bus journeys and taking bus photos..

I think the situation in Japan is quite difference.
I'm not sure whether the Densha Otoko is exaggerating the real situation, but I do believe that there exists somebody in Japan who "lock" himself into "comic world"..

>>213
i dont know the meaning by Real Otaku
but if we are talking about "Comic Otaku"
then i guess what you are saying is right...
i mean "Comic Otaku" cannot live without the comics...
cause Comics are life for them...

Densha Otoko actually exists...

>>214
That's not so bizarre. As >>210 stated, one can be an otaku for
anything. There are a number of people in the US, Germany, and
Japan who could probably be considered train/rail otaku. Rail fans
have had quite a bit of press in the US over the last couple years,
as terror-phobic people have been calling the police whenever
they see people watching the train tracks and taking pictures.

>>211
4000000÷35. holy onion @.@ that's seriously A LOT for a plastic figure.

>>215
I, as a foreigner, really can't believe that!
But I really wanna know what they feel
by the way, is there any "Comic Otaku" here? Would you mind sharing your feeling and thoughts here?

Some rumours said that the author of Densha Otoko (is it 中野獨人?) is actually the real name of Densha Otoko.
It is really mysterious... thats why it makes 2ch so special!

>>217
It's because they were custom made for the show. I remember
reading that there is now a mass produced version that's slightly
smaller and far cheaper.

>>216

Thats not strange..
But what I really feel strange, is that the Otaku cannot live without it...!

Imagine.. If comics is going to disappear tomorrow, what will they do?

基本できない本当に駄目な人が多いな。どうしてもそういうやつがここに来て調子
にのってカキコしてる事が多い。yahooの翻訳で必死に意味の分からな
い翻訳して「ほら、俺はこんな英文も理解できる」と得意げにいって
いるやつばかり。

wasn't Densha one of the members in the authur's board?
i thought the authur of the noval Densha Otoko, was the board creator.
Not sure though

>>222 Kylin

The author's name kanji translates to something like "One of those
involved". Namely, a 2ch'er who archived and organized all of
the posts.

Imagine Densha Otoko is writing posts here and sharing his feelings

that would be an unforgettable experience for me! haha

>>219
I believe thats the reason why comics industries in Japan is flourishing now..

there are so many comics fans and the companies can earn a lot by selling those figures which costs maybe 100yen only..!

>>218
中野独人(name in japanese) is not Densha Otoko's real name...
i think no one knows his real name
except, Hiroyuki who is the owner of 2ch...

I am kinda "Gundam, robot anime otaku", but
i could live without them...

so i have to say sorry and
"otaku cannot live without what they like" 
might be too exaggerated...
but for some "otaku", i would say "Mania" here
thats would be true...

>>221
where is your Tate-yomi?

>>225

There are, and small figures are slowly catching on in the US.
My local supermarket has two Tomy Gashapon machines that have
been modified to use local coins instead of 100 yen pieces, but
they do sell a mixture of Japanese (Pokemon and generic non-
franchised) toys and US licenses (Barbie, Disney).

That said, I hate trading figures. They're sold at a big
markup here, so a 500yen figure goes for $8 at most conventions.
Since I usually don't want half of the characters in the line-up,
it's always a risk that I don't feel like taking. Fortunately
there's always eBay for finding completed sets.

I am soooo introverted that I am unable to communicate with a girl who
likes me.

>>229
Have you tried written communications?

what do you think of privacy? I think it is essential for living in
society.

>>229
me either...

>>230
what is communication?

on my hands and knees if you please...

But it would be great to have friends like Densha
He is nice and straightforward.

Chatting with him might be enjoyable

help me...
I am so tired of this...
I hate exams

>>226
I also heard that those Otaku don't have any communication skills that they don't know how to communicate with others

Is it true?

my life:
reading one book
learning english
writin texts on classic litherature
I HATE ALL OF THIS CRAP.

>>236
huh? there isn't anything related to exams here..

can you explain more?

>>233
For example writing a letter, email, IM, SMS, etc.

>>231
Privacy is extremely important and at great risk in our modern
society. While I may not have anything that I need to hide
from the government or my neighbours, that does not change the
fact that what I do isn't any of their business.

>>237
that's right. but I am not otaku I am just isolated person
living alone and studing for entrance exams.

>>236 >>238

Exams are hell, school is hell. University is fun, just look for
the light at the end of the tunnel (and do well in English so you
can study abroad)!

In China, there are stores selling comic/gaming related goods, mostly
Gundam models, I bought some Gundam and Evangelion models many years ago.
I've been looking for a set of Metal Gear Solid figures, the game itself
is really a classic, so I thought I might keep the set of figures along
with the game as a good memory.

Wondering if there is a way to make this page auto-refresh itself. lol

>>244 Kylin
eBay and the Yahoo!Japan Auctions are your friend. I know that
there are MGS figures or gashapon, it's just a case of finding
them at a price you can afford.

We have a lot of Gundam models here too, but import figures are
still expensive. I'm not very coordinated (or patient), so I
don't want to have to deal with painting figures or sanding down
the edges. Give me a 25cm figure that looks good and I'll pay
the premium in exchange for effort.

>>242
Oh? You are studying for university entrance exam?

>>237
Umm...
i would say no...
at least they have something to talk about...
if you are "anime otaku", then the communication
by the anime is posshible, isnt it?

it is also true that normal convesation with
non-otaku people is difficult, however not
imposshible...
they still speak with someone in their life

however "Hikikomori(ひきこもり)" would be the one
who is lacking of the communication skill...
cause they dont usually speak, communicate by speaking...

i know there are many (Hikikomori) people who
cant even do the shopping...

>>247
yeah. I am not japanese. I feel awful... I read all day...
and just sometimes I use PC to listen music. but after I use PC
I feel awful cuz I feel that I wasted a lot of time... oh hell...
I feel a little better when I think of movie called TOKYO.SORA(which
means tokyo's sky) it's about 7 girls who are trying hard to change
their lifes. one girl from that movie is a taiwanese girl who live alone
in tokyo and preparing for her entrance exams...

>>243
Everyone hates examination
But those who succeed, they must have found their personal ways in
enjoying the examination.
For me, I hate exam as you do.
But I love the instant feeling when I can solve the problem completely.
Thats why I am not afraid of exam now!

>>245
yea... the boardmaster should set auto-refresh so that we dont hv
to click the "Refresh" button all the time..

i have really bad habit
that writing a word of "imposshible" 
where it should be "impossible"...

i have to fixed it...
not very good...

Do students in Japan have to pass an awful uni entry exam?

>>252
yes

life can be very hard or almost impossible sometimes

>>248
wow, there are so many specific terms describing those comic-devotee!

I don't mean they don't know how to talk
but I wonder if they speak with a lots of "er er er.."
just like the TV drama Densha, Densha spoke a lot of "er.. er.." in the
telephone conversation with Ms Hermes

>>249
oh me too
I am promoting to university next year as well..
Thats why I have spent most of my time during Easter Holiday on study..
(God..)
Maybe you can follow my way of studying.
Try to listen to some soundtracks (without singers).
It helps you concentrate on studies!

>>252
I believe there isnt any country without awful uni entry exam... haha

>>252
people tend to say that enroling uni in japan
is difficult, but not to graduate...

thats opposite in abroad, such as UK, USA or etc

if you guys are having a difficulty with
Refleshing the thread, then i recommned you to
use 2ch blowser 2ch ブラウザ...

there are many types of 2ch blowser and
some must have Auto reload function...

>>256
well, in some petty countries rich parents can pay bribe for entering
university without any exams("formal" exams)

>>257
OH?!?!

There is a browser designed for 2ch?!

>>255
The whole "er um" thing is standard when flustered or trying to
think of something to say while not being silent.


Personally, I find music distracting when I have to read a lot, but
it's good for things like math.

>>256
The entrance exams in the US are a joke and have been proven time
and again that they don't measure intelligence, ability to learn,
or even how well you did in high school. Until recently, all they
covered was your ability to memorise vocabulary and perform basic math
(algebra, trig, and basic statistics). They added an essay a couple
years ago, but the early reports show that quantity is graded over
quality.

There are also subject-specific tests that one can take, but they
are entirely optional.

>>258
But the rich guys get degrees which doesnt worth a penny..

Uni entrance exam is just a stepping-stone
We have to face a lot of things even more awful than uni
entrance exam in this complicated world!

>>255
oh i understand...
yep, what you are saying is basically right...
Otaku tends to be like that...
sorry for misunderstanding...

might be its great to know about Hikikomori too...

for the people who find reloading is annoying, then
http://janestyle.s11.xrea.com/
this could be one to use...
it has auto re-load...

>>261
You are absolutely right. Job hunting and applying for graduate
studies are both far worse than any exams I've had to take.

>>259
yep, there are heaps many of them available!!

>>260
yea, I heard of that.

Some of my classmates are taking US exam (like TOEFL and SAT)
They always bring the exam materials back school and study.
thats why i can have a look on those...
The books are simply filled with complicated vocabularies that I
believe most native Americans are unable to use it! (even if they
know this word, they wont use it in writing essays, etc!)

hikkikomoris are just victims of bullying I think.
their bullies made them believe that they are nothing. so hikki-guy
starts to be ashamed of himself. it's really sad thing that can
happen to a person

>>262
Thats why I am wondering if they can communicate well with others..

Oh thanks for providing that
but I think I am not able to use that... since I don't know Japanese..
(By looking at the printscreens, the programme seems great to read posts
here)

i think, that "SABAKU NO IRUKA" by MASAHIKO SHIMADA is a great story

>>266
that means hikki such behaviour is not derived from comics?

>>265
I've never had to take the TOEFL (native speaker), but I've been
tempted to buy a study guide and see how bad it is.

The SAT is a joke. The GRE (exam for grad school applications) is
even worse. The GRE covers the same areas as the SAT, but with
bigger and more obnoxious words and easier math. The GRE also
used to include an entirely useless section devoted to logic games
which was replaced in 2002 with a pair of essays.

To show how bad the GRE is, I took it twice. My vocabulary score
was in the 60-70th percentile (so 60% of people did worse, 40% better),
my math was in the 75th-80th, and I got 90th percentile on the
logic games the first time, and the top score possible on my essays
the second time (no percentiles given). Sadly, the essay score
was brand new at the time I took the exam so none of the schools
that I applied to used it in deciding on admissions. Even now,
if I want to apply to graduate studies again, I will need to retake
the exam because of how low my verbal score was.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention earlier. It costs $150+ to take the
GRE. I forgot what the SAT costs, it's been almost 10 years since
I took it.

>>269
their behaving is like that, because it's the society who reject
them. so they simply have nowhere to go

Been afk cooking late night dinner, thanks a lot for the auto-refresh tips.

>>269
I was under the impression that hikki behaviour is derived from
bad social experiences. The reason why so many hikkis are anime/
manga otaku is that anime and manga provide vivid and escapist
forms of entertainment. Over here, hikki types are more likely
to find themselves obsessed with or lost in the big online
role playing games (Everquest, World of Warcraft, FFXI).

>>266
>>269
i would say that the bullying is the major
reason of provding Hikikomori...
or many hikikomori does not got to school
because they just find school boring, simple...

i dont think there are hikikomoris derived by 
the comic...

>>270
you are a middle aged man!!

>>271
There isn't any organisation in Japan which helps them?
It seems to be a big society problem and government should put
more emphasis into them..

when a hikky finnaly found that he is just normal like everybody (
or even better) it can be too late.... too late...

Too much comic books sometimes cause hikikomori. lol
What a logic!

>>270
The SAT is something like $40 now.

I don't think it is correct to characterize the SAT and ACT as entrance exams.
They are used as part of addmitance sure, but they are not the only factor.

>>275
I'm not middle aged, I'm only 24!

>>270
oh what a pity
I really doubt if the examination board has considered the usefulness
of the examination..
Using complicated vocab is not the key to writing good essays..

>>276
govement dont have money for that

>>276
It's nothing. It's just been hyped up because it sells.
If you want some more serious, the suicide rate in Japan is ridiculously high.
30000 people a year kill themelf.

>>279
They're not the only factor, but they're a bigger part than
anybody really wants to admit. SAT/ACT scores are used as a quick
way to weed out applications, and anything below a certain range
will get discarded before an applicant's high school grades, clubs,
essays, and so on are considered.

>>281
Vocaburalry is an easy and pretty accurate way of measuring one's intellegence for sure.
You don't wanna some guys subjectively decide how good you are.

I never loved anyone in my whole life

>>283
Is that due to the high pressure arouse from work or others..?
(But Japan is also a country with people who have the longest lives
in the world..)

>>286
Much better than people who are never loved

but still, still its sad that you cannot love someone

>>283
About suicides... do you think people living in East Asia countries tend
to give up living more? There were 4 people commiting suicide in a row 2
months ago in my city...

Yet I don't really recall reading or hearing about British people committing
suicide in my past 4 years living there.

>>285
But the most important thing is that do the readers know what you mean..?

Despite the widely use of vocabs, it obviously is not a good essay
if the reader have to find out the meaning of most words from the dictionary..

>>285
ttp://www.graduateshotline.com/list.html

Looking at just the words starting with "A", I can tell you that
I know what half to two-thirds of them mean, and use far fewer
in day to day conversation. The Exams also don't just grade on
knowing meaning. The exams look at analogies (book:read::tv:watch
but with bigger and missing words), opposites, and fill in the
blank. The exams are also written to penalise wrong answers so
as to discourage guessing.

Vocab is one of the way to measuring one's intellegence,
And utilising one's limited vocab and present an essay in an
attractive and persuasive way would be another way to measuring one's
intellegence.

how about entrance exams to ..... HARVARD?

bloody hard?

>>293
Harvard uses a combination of SAT/ACT scores, high school grades,
family background (did your father/aunt/grandparent go?), essay,
and how much your family can donate after your graduation to
determine acceptance.

It is similar to Japanese universities as well - hard to get
into, but easy to get a basic degree from (graduate studies
are different). It is laughably overrated as a school, and
is frequently given as an example of grade inflation run amok.

LOL Harvard, sounds like bloody hard

everyone, good night！ﾉｼ

うぃい疲れたぜ、、、。

Night.

harvard sounds like a place for a rich homosexuals.
btw, does anybody know where I can download a book called
"the line of beauty" it's famouse gay fiction about
england in 80's

>>299
Searched a few sites, nothing found, sorry.

did you ever been to RAFFLES HOTEL?

The one in Singapore? No, never been to Singapore lol.

yeah

behind the modern architecture of singapore there are tons of
aimless, lost, teens who have nothing to do but to selfdestruct

Avoiding death sentence depends a lot on having a good lawyer

Taking a look at http://www.raffleshotel.com, seems like another 6-Star.

Talking about Singapore, I remember there was a piece of news about a
serial killer opperating in Singapore around the end of last year.

my daddy works there:
http://www.bulgari.com/index.asp

wish I could escape from this crazy place

Can't...keep...e...eyes...oppp...en....any...more...
nightt.................................................

So let's talk about some idols then.

I'd like to tell you a few things in order to make you understand the truth.
first, Maki chan is an angel who carries teo holy and pretty wings on her back.
last, she is mine, she is born to love and marry me. That's all. Thank you for listening to my explanation.

>>311 >> 312

You are NEETs!

>>312
For your information, she doesn't have any wings any longer,
because I cut them off and glued them to my back. Didn't you know?

And she's meant for me, not you. Understand?

>>314
Don't tell me an avbious lie.
Maki chan has wings now! If Maki chan loses her wings, she can not go back to Heaven!
That is the biggest important question!

>>316
I didn't lie to you. See the truth. She walks down the street
because she can't fly any longer. She takes the train to school
bacause her wings were ripped years ago. She lives in Japan now
because she is no different from us. If she had wings, she wouldn't
be here to stay. Get it?

She hates to show her wings in front of everyone( except me)!
She pretends herselaf as an ordinary girl!
She is an angel!

How many times do I have to tell you? I ripped her wings off and
attached them to my back. Now I can fly to the moon.

Talking about idol here?

Yes, in particular, about angelic idol Maki.

who is this girl...? (sorry about that)

Are you serious? She's been mentioned here time and again.
Everyone knows who she is. Try using Google searching engine.
You can be sure why they say she's come down from the heaven.

堀北真希?

You guessed righ. She's supposed to be a successful actress, or she's
already become one.

Maki is not a wild pig, but an angel.

well..

She is pretty.
But what makes her so special?

Good afternoon everyone

>>326
Does "wild pig" mean "terrible actress" in Japan?

exposed himself

Yukorin is a vicious rainbow pig from Okinawa.

>>332
yukorin
no
longer
relevant

>>330
Of course not. She played a girl nicknanamed as Wild Pig. So people
sometimes refer to her as a wild pig. But she's not a real wild pig,
as you know. She's like an angel.

Japanese culture is really interesting

I don't think so.

Are you with me now?

>>334
Oh I see, thank you.

What a strange weather today in Tokyo.

Do you want to know the synopsis of the drama? I mean to say,
"Let's turn the Wild Pig girl into a beautiful big wheel".

>>339
It is quite hot there, isn't it?

Kawaii must be becoming an English loanword. If you ask me, Sasha Cohen
is kawaii.

somebody~ iru inai?

A rain check?

How do you like "Friends" as an English learning material?
People say it gives both enjoyable and laughable process through which we can
improve English. What do you say?

mmm, i think its a good show, becuase they are all ppl who spleak English as their mother language. o dont like it though

chat with me please;-)

>>341
It's not that hot, but maybe a bit humid.
It is quite windy right now.
Where are you BTW?

>>346
You could say so, but I do wonder if all English speaking people
speak like the actors and the actresses.

>>348
Sorry, but I don't want to tell you where I am.

>>345
Knowing a some American culture would help understanding the show better.
If you prefer American-English, Friends would be a good choice to improve
your language skill.

yah, you are actully right. but ppl spleak English likr that as far as i know. becuase i'm in us right now.

>>351
Do you really think it helps learn English?

>>352
So you're sure people in the US speak funny like them?

>>349
No, not all English speakers speak in the same way. There are various
types of accent.
In the UK for example, there is Oxford accent, which is considered as
the standard British accent; there are also, Newcastle accent, Blackpool accent,
Scottish accent, Welsh accent and so on...

So I believe it's just like Japanese, Tokyo accent and Osaka accent.

I'm not 351, but I'm pretty sure it helps you to understand yur English. what do u think?

>>353
Affermative, English speaking shows not only helps you in improving the
language skill, but also, more importantly in my opinion, helps you understand
the culture associated with the language.

hahahah, i think u're saying pretty much everyone else is thinking. good job!

>>355
No, I didn't mention accents. Sorry, I wasn't clear.
What I wanted to say was, languages used in dramas tend to be a bit
unnatural. I mean, they exaggerate. At least, that goes for some J-dramas.
Do you really think American people speak like them?

because, they are acting!!!

>>359
I have not met many Americans myself, so I cannot say for sure.
However I am willing to take an educated guess, from what I know about
British people.

I would guess that an ordinary American would not speak like actors or actresses
normally. There could be occasions that they might speak in such way, I have a
feeling, but I cannot think of an exaple for the moment.

>>359
Oh here is one: Maybe when two good friends braging for the sake of fun,
they might talk in an exaggerated way.
*I could be wrong though.

>>361
I take it from what you said that some might in some occasion and
we could use more help from native speakers about the question.

>>360
Yea, I think actors and actresses tend to exaggerate a bit more when acting,
by doing so, they present the show in a more intensive fashion.

>>359
Talking about J-dramas, I keep thinking of DenshaOtoko (THE TV Drama),
the actor 伊藤淳史 is really good at acting lol.

>>362
Perhaps you're right.

>>363
Indeed. Maybe our American friend, who was here last night could give us
some advice.

>>364
Speaking of Itoh Atsushi, I remember he played Cho-Hakkai, a real wild pig, in
Saiyuuki. And he followed Katori Shingo, who is a terrible bad actor.

I am an idol and computer. My looks expresses my hobby more.
I am wauting for the day coming a good girl
but I hate Nakatani and Ito..

>>367
Oh the Japanese version of Saiyuuki, I've always wanted to watch it, but
never been able to find it here.

And you said he played Cho-hakkai!? LOLOLOLOL Is he not too slim to play
such a big character? :D

Words can never surpass heart...

>>368
You mean you like idols and computers, but doesn't like Nakatani Miki?

>>371
I dislike her more, namely I hate her!

Maki is an ordinary pretty idol. she is not an angel.
I can understand her fan here. I think he's crazy...

>>369
No, you don't have to waste your time. The drama is rubbish.
Believe me. I happened to take a look, but I found it too childish
and embarrassing, in particular, when I saw Katori Shingo shouting
something very rubbish...

>>372
You couldn't dislike her more? Why not?
I think she's beautiful. No reason to hate her, is there?

I want to be a stateman who reforms all for the better In Japan.
First I vanish 2ch. That's idiot and nuisance, Next, NEETs such as you send to the compulsory labor place.

>>374
Really?
I have just found out that there are 11 episodes of Saiyuuki, I wonder
if 11 episodes are enough to cover the original story.
I remember CCTV in China shot the oldest Saiyuuki TV series in the 80's it was rather
long, can't remember how many episodes there were.

I think I am going to watch the new Saiyuuki for myself.

>>374
You mean Saiyuuki is bad?
I just started watching it. It is not too bad as expected.
(But still I am wondering if 11 episodes can cover the whole story.)

>>376
I appriciate your thoughts.
But I think 2ch is a great place, needless to say about THE "Legend" risen from here.
To me, this place act as one of the windows of Japan, and think this is a good opportunity
to know more about your country.

Oh, and I don't think everyone visiting this board is NEET. And the "NEET" you speak of, I guess,
are only enjoying another life style besides the real world.

Times up for me now, some training to do lol
See you guys later this evening.
じゃ。

see ya...

why vanish 2ch?
It provides us an opportunity to express our views

Please be reminded that not all 2ch visitors are NEET as you mentioned

Want to talk with me now?

Good evening, 2ch.

Watching "Friends" will help you pick up some slang and colloquial
expressions, as will watching any English language TV series. Personally,
I stopped watching Friends after the third series, and I can't remember
how bad the accents are.

I'm trying to think of some other good shows to learn English from.
Unfortunately, a lot of what I watch are documentaries, British comedies,
and cooking programmes, so I'm not sure how useful (or available) any
of them would be for you.

>>383
Sure!

Please tell me what fuck sake means.

>>386
"for f*ck sake" = "for god sake"

Kind of a way to express one's strong opinion about a particular entity.

which is correct???

Did you mean whether "for f*ck sake" or "for god sake" is correct?
I think both are correct, except the F word sounds stronger.

Also there are other variations, such as "for christ sake".

But I remember someone told me a long time ago, about using religion-related
words. For some religous people, they might feel upsat if we mentioned
phrases like "oh my God", so as an alternative we might prefer saying
"oh my goodness" to avoid embarrassing situations.

**I have yet to met someone, who would react in the way mentioned above.

>>391
Yes. My Religious studies teacher told us that people
prefer to use "Oh my goodness" but not "Oh my God".

It is something related to the bible which says we should
use God's name in a correct way.

木曜だからチャレンジおばさん来るかなー、って思ったけど来ませんでした。よかったよかった。L4の生徒さんも来なかったので、無事マンツーでした。

>>392
In America? Maybe in very religious towns or families,
but not anywhere else.

>>394
Yes.
That's why most people still use "Oh my God"

hey people! wut do u want from gift from america? can you tell me the things that you'd like to get.

>>396

Let me translate this into proper English for you:

"Hey everybody! What would you like to receive as a gift from
America? Could you tell me the type of things you'd like to get?"

What are you up to recently?

I'm tired of doing the dishes, doing the laundry and so on.

>>401
A hamburger?

>>410
Don't you guys still have that beef import ban thing?

>>411
Not all hamburgers contain beef as one of the ingredients

Hey, look! The sun is shining far above your head! It's dazzling!

The sun shines. Big deal.

A set of US Marine foot soldier equipment (desert version) along with

Long time no see such a fine weather!

PLEASE GO HOME

>>409
Don't be that sad

>>409
Yea, cheer up. ^_^

If you were a pretty teenager girl, then you would have a big chance to be my girlfriend.

>>420
If you were a pretty guy around 20 years old, then I would gladly take that chance, no matter how little. :-P

>>421
sorry, I am 40 years old single who is a strong addict to lolita complex. That's all my profile

what is "lolita complex"?

oh i've just looked up the meaning of "lolita complex", i see lol

I think it is quite a common phenomina in many societies.

Just wondering, is it legal to store sexual materials about under-age girls or boys in Japan?

Absolutely not.

Tenkarin is 12 and I am 40 yo. I think we are a very good couple for marriage.

LOL, my daughters or sons would probably be 12 years old and celebrating my 40th birthday.

lmao

Wow, today's topic is marriage?

no one is here

no one is here

I'm here. And bored again at work.

Keep up the good work.

>>433
It is better for you to take a break!

>>433

Except for about half an hour when I actually had something to do,
I've been on break since I got here three hours ago.

Japan is for the Japanese.

Stand up my fellow Japanese!

We have to protect our sacred land and eradicate all the
foreign parasites!

Good night, have a nice dream!

>>412
Beef is a requirement for a hamburger.
Vegiburgers and soyburgers are a different story though.

>>437
That's the spirit! :D

Who are you, please?

Kylin, always Kylin.

Is that your real name, hon?

Kylin, always Kylin.

Are you poking fun of me or what?

"Kylin" is not my real name.
In this dimension, I am Kylin, Kylin is me, my identity. :)

Good morning everybody

How do you pronounce it?
Kai-lin? Or Ki-lin?

>>449
That would not be my intention.

/ki lin/　麒麟

Kylin sounds like killing.
How brutal!

LOL that is why we all practice for accurate English pronounciation.
This would be a very good example to disdinguish the sound /n/ and /ng/.
A simple mis-pronouncing would cause such huge big misunderstanding.

This chat room is slow.

>>457
I think so, maybe because we're all doing something else at the same time
we paying attention to this board, e.g. I'm watching TV at the moment, at my PC.

I wonder how the Chinese pronounce 麒麟.
I suppose they say 麟 like "ling".

>>458
What's on the tube?
I don't usually watch TV.

Come to think of it, I rarely read the newspaper.
I think I'm clueless of what's going on in the world.

In Chinese, we pronounce it /chi lin/

Oh, on TV, now I'm watching ATP, I think it's the semi-final stage.
Just a while back I was watching President Hu Jintao having a speech in
the University of Yale after his meeting with President Bush, in the US, live.

Are you Chinese?

>>461
:D Me neither, I don't like newspaper. I only watch news on TV or the net
while i'm doing something else like having dinner or chatting.

Yes, I am Chinese.

我的電脳襤褸。
Does this make sense?

>>464
Oh me too.
I don't like reading newspaper. I only watch TV news to keep
track of what is going around the world.
(I like reading books, but not newspaper)

I can't understand "襤褸". I could pronounce it from the way the characters
are built, but I haven't come across this term before.

>>466
As far as I know, 襤褸 means improperly.

There is a phrase 衣衫襤褸，which means dressed improperly/ugly dressing
(usually used to describe poor people/beggar)

Godfather is 神父.
Ha ha ha.

In Japanese 襤褸 means rag.

我的汁算机是非常老的。

>>471
That means this word has the same Japanese and Chinese meaning!

>>469
Ah ha.
Now I remember, interesting I'm re-learning my mother language
in this board lolol. Thank you.

>>470
"神父" seems to be the direct translation of "God Father", but I think
"Godfather" in Chinese means something different, "教父", how should I
explain it．．for example, the head of Mafia or Yakuza could be called
"教父"， a very cool word I think.

>>472
Oh, 我的電脳襤褸。 means an old computer :D

>>473
Are you Kylin?
Yes, we have imported many Chinese expressions into our language.
我是懶惰的。

>>472
It should be 計?

>>475
In Chinese, we seldom use that to explain computer.
we simply use 老/舊.

>>469
Haha, you are welcome.
You can learn your mother language and I can learn a bit Japanese here!

This thread has gone multilingual.(　＾ω＾)

>>478
Thats good.
It is good for us to learn more languages so that we can communicate with
people around the world!

>>476
Kylin never uses another name :)

We have also imported many Japanese expressions into our language.
For example 政府，御宅族（Otaku族) lol

>>480 Kylin, mistake lolol Kylin

我看電影。I'm going to see a movie.

Enjoy, Mr.Godfather :)

粘着すんなよガキｗｗｗおまえ必死すぎるだろｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

>>476
I am not Kylin

I really want to learn Japanese, but it seems very difficult

Ah, so we have two guests here right this moment!
Since when did this thread become so international?

I think 我去看電影。 Would be more precise to the meaning of "I'm going to see a movie."

>>486
It is because English is an international language.
So, people from different countries come to this thread so that
we can chat with the same language!

>>487
It seems that 我看電影/我看電影中 means I'm watching the movie.

I came to this board all because of watching 電車男 lol, just to see
this 'magickal' board.

Anyway, I really must see the movie.
I must return it before it gets overdue.
再見.

I think, 我正在看电影。 also means "I'm watching the movie."

再见Godfather. Nice chatting with you.

>>491
See you
Next time when you are here, say a "hi" here so that I can chat with you!

>>490

電車男 makes this forum international!

:D
And here we are talking about 電車男 again, are we talking about the noval?
the movie? or the tv series?

>>496
Up to you, as you like.

Wow, seems like we have a big fan here.
I have only watched the TV series.

In fact the book version is not attractive to me..

It is just like a book full of ICQ messages.

I've read about comments by other people on that book, some say due to
the fact that the real Densha isn't a writer, he did not describe Hermes's
appearance and other things very well.

>>500
Not only does the story attract me, but also the picture
which is made up of word characters by the guys who support
Densha.

Oh that cool looking guy's art work.
I've seen some very good art work in other boards in 2ch too.
But for me, I don't think I have the patience in the creation of it lol.

Yes..
Perhaps they use special browser/notepad to make the picture
But it is really difficult to make it.
The size, the space etc.

I think if I were making such art work, I'd probably do it on a separate
notepad and then paste it here

Any comment on Ito Misaki aka Ms.Hermes?

It is time-consuming.

That guy may have missed lots of messages here when he was
concentrating on the picture. haha

>>507 Kylin

Sorry, work actually gave me something to do, for once.

>>508
lol
No worries mate, that's quite alright.
Glad to hear that you are having fun @ work :)

>>509

"Fun" isn't the word I would use to describe what I had to do...
it was really pretty annoying.

What kind of work? If you don't mind sharing some personal info :)

>>511

I do statistics and various mundane office tasks (check the
spreadsheet to see if the dates are right on it, etc.)

From my past experience, I hated statistics, very much LOL.
When I was taking maths course in my A-Levels, I dropped statistics cuz
all those formulee gave me the headache... I still remember failing my
stats exam... gah ... my brain cells were dying

>>513

I don't have to know what the numbers actually mean, just how to
get the software to give them to me and put them in a chart that
looks pretty.

For what it's worth, this isn't what I planned on doing (or want
to do with my life). My goal is to go back for a double masters
degree and go into teaching.

Teaching sounds like real fun, keeping oneself synchronised with the
new generations, that is, if you can make sense of what the students are doing
lol

I can show you the world.

Unbelievale sight! Indiscribable feeling!

A whold new world.

/em yawns.
Good morning, I'm going to bed now o.O
おはいよ　そして　お休み。

Wake up!

I used to wonder what Maki's fans up to when they declared she was
an angel and she was theirs. But now, if anything, they are saying
that just to make themselves believe she is special. I mean, they
must've noticed Maki is no different from girls walking down the street
anywhere near your place. Just a teenage girl, that's Maki, you know.
Maki's admirers refuse to admit she isn't an angel because Maki would
lose both her popularity and attention if they said she wasn't.
I feel a pity for them. By contrast, Yukorin is a real angel.
She comes from the planet Korin, where there are many Korinian people
living peacefully and I call it an utopia. That's why her fart
smells of vanilla.

Shut up! Your comment sounds as much as to say Yukorin is the only
angel on the earth, but you are wrong. Yukorin is also just a girl.
She said she was born in Chiba prefecture and raised by ordinary human
parents herself! You mistook her as an angel when she wore articial wings made of plastic,
didn't you?

yes! Takasu clinic

People are strange when youre a stranger.
Faces look ugly when youre alone.
Women seem wicked when youre unwanted.

According to Jim Morrison.

Does lovely girl K-tan not come here anymore?
It such a drag to make posts and knowing she will never read them.

>>525
I haven't seen her post in a while.

>>526
What do you think is the reason she left?

Saki Fukuda is pretty, isn't she?

Yeah, she is, though she makes herself rarely seen on TV.

i wanna sex with her

How old is she?
By the way, if I remember right, Saki belongs to Girls 31 Club.

she's middle teen I belive

>>527
Probably because people never stop pratting on about idols.

>>532
I prefer Benny, you know.

It's very tough for you to know that Benny had already given me her virgin.

Saki? Who's Saki?

Would you say Saki is an angel?

Benny speaks English very well. As a matter of fact, she's half American,
so she's talked with her dad in English.

I see, I need to pursue him in English into giving me her daughter, benny,

For the sake of people in need for information on Benny,
I'll let you know about her a little bit. She's a singer and
supposed to release her second CD album one of these days.

sorry, NOT pursue BUT persuade.

I'd call Benny an angel.

What are you scared of? A beautiful girl?
You become nervous when in front of girls?

Christ, can all you stop talking about idols for one goddamn second?!

I am a cool playboy who owns IQ 250. so I ain't nervous while being in front of girls.

Your IQ has nothing to do with being nervous when you are before girls.

Good afternoon.

Hello. Are you still there?

Yes

Good afternoon.

Bay Stars is in the 6th place. The fact that they just won 4 games out of 17 makes me feel down.

The weather is so hot that I do not have any motive to study.

It's cool out there now, isn't there? You better get started now,
or you'll be sorry.

I love winter a lot more..

Work work work work...worrrrk....wwww...ww.wwo...r...kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk...

>>554
You love winter better than spring, why? Because it's freezing cold?

>>554
Too cold to play outdoor tennis.

>>556
Spring is so humid that we easily get wet.

I love winter a lot more, especially the snowing scene

For me, I don't prefer a particular season, the four seasons are different, and
hence enjoyable in various ways.

Flowers are great in spring.

kylin,are you a fucking nigger?

>>561
o.O
I am sorry, what do you mean by the word "nigger"?
To be safe, I think I am not a "nigger".
Also, I haven't got a girl friend yet, and I am not keen on prostitution,
so I am not fucking, not yet.

do you know that Henry VIII had the great ability of thinking about
imaginary evils?

>>563
Is that why he merried 8 wives, and beheaded 7 of them?

>>564
yeah,that is right
it is him

This is a part of Japan, or part of the world.
and You know, the Internet can be sucks.
Never mind about stink shit. (＾▽＾)

i have a big problem! I HATE FEMALES. well I want to find a girl
just like me, quiet and with sad eyes, but all other females made
me feel angry! I just can be with them! with all theirs stupid jokes
and stuff like that

Actually my dream is to be surrounded with robots, and not with humans!
I hate humans

Talking about a quiet girl with sad eyes, I can only think of Rei in Evangelion
at the moment.

Just wait for your angel coming. You do not have to search it. ＞567

>>570
yeah! but I already found her. it was on subway. she was a blondie
girl probably 27years old, but very very beautiful. she was a perfect
example of women. her hands were absolutely gorgecious.
she looked at me twice, and then she sat and closed her eyes

>>571
You seeing her often?

>>572
no! it was just on subway. she was very tall girl. and of course she
had a boy/ or even husband :(

You found it already! (・o・)

I am so bad person!!! I dont know how to keep the distance with people
it made me feeeel so ashamed of myself. especially with girls
fuk fuk fuk

>>573
But you are not sure whether the guy is her boyfriend, or even husband.

>>575
I think I'm not good at it either.
The other night, an old friend from my junior school called me out for dinner,
I'd always fancied her during my years in junior school and afterwards...
I was very nervous, and couldn't keep cool nor logical, kept saying things,
which didn't make sense.

>>576 >>573
Most important thing is to meet again :)

i decided to read "The Picture of Dorian Gray" what do u think
about this book?

what do u think about russia revolution of 1917 and about russian
empire before 1917 ?

>>577
Your pulse increased at that time?

>>579
Depending on how you think of Dorian.

>>575
I think its a kind of problem for many of us.

haha, I rather hate my native language, so to soothe my nervous system
I decided to read that book in english (my second language)
what a mess. my faith is very hard: to leave my native country
and go to the another country without any help

I am worst worst worst guy in the world
I feel ashaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamed of myself. why? become...
because of a women. it's very hard for me to soothe my nervous.
i am in shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Japan fought with Russia.
And russia revolution happened at that time, right?

no russo-japan war happened in 1905. do you know why?
because there was a ultra crisis in 1905, so to grow some
prestige stupid russian govement decided to start war with japan.
all we know how it ended.

I read Anne Frank's diary.
I'm depressed.

>>581
I didn't really feel that way, just that I didn't know what to say to be appropriate lol.
I was not brave enough to say what I was really thinking in my mind, so I had to make up something else to say,
and that made me taking meaningless stuff all evening.

>>580
There were two waves in that revolution, one in March, which over turnned the Tzar; followed by
October revolution.
During the Tzar's time, russia was an imperialism nation, which in my opinion, caused much regional
instability.

I really think that russia should die. why? because all the history
of russia or russian empire can be put into one word: "slavery".

Russia could've won if they had kept it going. But they thought it's OK.

there are many great countries in our world. for example
denmark or england. but there is two countries that destroy
the harmony of our beautiful world: russia and china.

>>584

Good luck with Dorian Gray. I can only imagine how challenging it must
be to read it when English is not your first language. Do you know
a lot about the period when it was written? Some of the references
may be confusing if you don't (and if the book isn't footnoted).

>>592
Would you like to explain more of this argument?
Would you like to present us with reasons and evidences to support your point of view?

>>593
well, I dont know much about that period of time. but I read it
only because of author. I mean his ability to show some aestetic
or crap like that. or feelings. haha I am a sentimental person

>>592

A friend of mine is Russian, and the impression I get from him is
that the government isn't in control enough to motivate the population,
nor is the economy good enough to provide a real threat anywhere.

Ironically, this brings Russia back full circle to the pre-industrial
age...

China is very much a threat, but should also be respected for its
rich history, culture, and cuisine.

>>595

Wilde is excellent for that. He was an incredibly bright and creative
individual.

Perhaps one day somebody will do an animated version of Dorian Grey
like they did Gankutsuo (Count of Monte Cristo) and take it out of
the time period.

>>588
Why say so?

>>594
ok that was not correct. but look I study history of russia.
do you want to know how russia evolve? in IV-V century there was
first stage of forming of russia. there was well i dont know how
to put it well 'farmers'. and some 'farmers' transformed into military
elite. and what they did? yeah, they subdued farmer. so farmers
started to work on them. what is it? yeah this is slavery.
well after some time, in 9 century there was a first russian ruler.
and all farmer became a peasant. and until 1917 all peasants (
which was 90% of russian population) had no right. they was
just a slaves. in 1917 when the power of the tzar radically
decreased, all peasant took the powet in their hand. what this
means? this means that soviet union was .... union of poor educated
PEASANTS. those peasants of course had destroyed all russian culture
all russia elite either was killed by commies or emigrate to
other countries(for example FRANCE)...

Have you watched the soccer game between japan and china?
That was ugly. （；´∀｀）

japan is a crazy country too....
america is number one
\haha

They burn our national flag.
but i know everything bad is the political problems.

Destroy everything you touch is a great song by ladytron

>>599
I have not studied very much about the history of Russia, so please point out my mis-interpretations.

Despite the fact that the USSR consisted of mostly uneducated and poor peasants, the USSR
nevertheless became a super power of the world during its 50 years' of development.
How did they manage acheving such wonder?

but the truth is that.... history is only for fag. normal people
dont study history. only in school.

>>600
Agree, it was rude.

602 was me.
And im going to bed now bye~~~

>>607
Night.

>>605 LOL :D :D :D
George W Bush majored History when he was in the university of Yale.

>>604
because even poor un-educated peasants(read: slaves) are humans who
are talented, for example soviet school of math was great. but
feeling of being slave are deep seated in psychology of
soviet people. it mean in such think like love or friendship
soviet people are simply awful.

>>609
yeah, G W B is also from TEXAS... so he is a peasant in some way...

>>610
But do you think Russian people nowadays awful?
I have a few friends from Russia, I think they are great.
So it's probably a few individuals with evil minds, who also
manipulate the population are to be blamed.
I don't think there is a nation full of awful individuals.

actually history really change your mind, if you have ability to study
it... (well some people can say: what ability? just reading books?
but no, history is not just reading books... )

>>611
I think dubya is a decent guy, I didn't like him a few years ago, thought he's an idiot,
but come to think of it, he's actually doing things that were benificial for his own country.

History is a wonderful and beautiful thing to study. The purpose of
history is not to just learn names and dates and events from the past,
but rather to look at those events in order to see why we are the way
we are today.

>>612
yeah, I agree with you... I rather say that russian history can be
used as a history of 2000years long slavery... it's really horribly
history...
what was russia beterr 15-19 centuries? well, there was a tzar
and his elite (900000) who just used peasants as their slaves.
while tzar enjoyed feeling of ultimate power, and his elite
enjoyed the easy life. and russian people 'enjoyed' slavery.

>>614
As somebody living under Bush's regime, I would beg to differ.

>>616

The peasants were used as slaves across Europe from the Roman era
through as early as the Renaissance (late 1500's) to the industrial
era and the fall of the monarchies. Serfdom was by no means
an enjoyable thing for anybody outside of the ruling classes.

and that's why russian litherature is so great. because it is litherature
of aristocrat's

actually the greatest study course is design!!!! you dont have to
put in your head such crap things!

>>620
But you have to use your brain to think of a new design every time.

That was a good discussion on history, I've learnt some new things today. Thanks guys.

about me:
just fabolous

after I put all what was on my mind I feel sooo much better.
paranoia has stopped

adolph hitler was a failure as a person. why? because he was a crappy
artist

i can not control myself

I lost all my shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

feel so bad.

How about a game of chess?

♖♘♗♔♕♗♘♖

♟♟♟♟♟♟♟♟
♜♞♝♚♛♝♞♜

The board is missing.

o rly

im gonna ejaculate!

CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT

let's discuss politics!!!
look at this
"Petty nations and their petty national demands are thought to be
pointless at best; divisive and self-destructive at worst"

it is no boubt that adolph hitler is a remarkble figure in 20 century.

>>638
ARE YOU KIDDING!?

Maki chan is as if she were a dolphin. She coos, and I feel melting in my mind.

>>638
You mean without Adolph Hitler, the world won't be like that?

>>641
No, no, no. I mean, a Dolph in Maki chan made me sure she is like a dolphin! You know?

She looks cute.

I'm certain Yukorin is more like an angel.

bored

shinjo speak quite good english.
that is very shocking to me.

why low IQ like shonjo can listen to and speak english better than
english teacher?

i should put "average"between ""than"" and ""english"".

In business therre is an expression "Time is money."
We could also say that "Information is money."
Most medium to large-sized firms need to deal with mountains of information, from product development to marketing, from personnel to supply chains.
宜しくお願いします！

間違えました…スマソorz

i　heard 巨人師匠(one of japanese manzai pairs all hanshin kyojin）SAY　
"it' not corect that Time is money.time is life!"
on japanese tv entertaiment program"gachinko manzaido"

Beautiful!
ttp://www.geocities.jp/musclenoripi/newpage30.htm

do you know yamachan(nankai Candies)is from gachinko manzaido?

>>650
Time is valuable, even more valuable than money.

Do you watch the new drama shown on TV?

>>653
It truly is, I wish wish that more companies would realise that!

>>654 Yes,I watch the TV .
New drama is Hukayon who act prety girl.

>>656
Did you watch Attention Please?
I have missed the first episode and I want to know if this drama
is good.

Yomiuri-Giants　is lose a game to Hanshin Tigers

To company, profit is the most important.

Even though you have time, the company will cease to exist if no
profit is made.

no one is here. I just wanna enjoy talkin' about some idols.

Idols again?

Could anyone teach me what kind of subject someone in this board always has talked about?

i am also an idle.

Good evening!
I am a neat neet!

neet=idle=idol

Good evening all
Nice to see you here

We miss 36 years old warehouse man
does he go to UK to study English and stalk emma watson?

I donno. He really was friendly, so I also miss him very much.

is Emma Watson a jew?
she looks like a american woman.

aside form that,she get deteriorated considerably as she gets older.
how can i put japanese words 「劣化が激しい」
in english corecctly .

You say Emma is getting uglier?

i forgot the third person singular.
i wanted to say"she get*s* deteriorated considerably"

>>671
yes.
but she is still not ugly.but she was more beautiful
than she is.

I've just remembered the japanese who stalked
britney spears.
he is from a graduate school at the university of tokyo.

shame on japan.stop stalking white women.

I hope you fall into the same line as your disdainful enemies.

>>669
Emma Watson is British (the entire Harry Potter cast are).
I don't know her religion, though...isn't it irrelevant?

good morning everyone!
now i have nothing to do,pls chat with me.

>>677
Hello.

If you'd like to have a chat, you'd better say something others are likely to enjoy talking about.

I have nothing to talk about.because I'm not interested in
anything at all.I'm so fed up with my life.
Do you enjoy your life ? If so,that's good !

How can you say so!? We know this toxic channel-2!

So what ?
I don't understand exactly what you want to say.
you mean we've takn comfort from this thread ?

Oh, I mean many people can't help spending much of lifetime here.

you can say that again !
actually,I don't want to kill time here.
but I have nothing else to do except writing stupid things on this thread.
How about you ?

fine thank you,and you?

You must admit Maki Horikita is an angel with 2 pretty and holy wings on her back. That's all.

>>686
Of course, sir. I had already admitted she is a holy angel!

ueto aya is the ugliest of the three cm girls.

i can't understand why media push her exaggeratedly.

Whether Aya is a virgin or not. That's a big problem.

>>684
Stupid things refer to the replies concerning whether the girl is angel or not?

>>689
Aya? Who? There are many Ayas in Japan.

>>691
maybe it's "Aya Ueto"

>>692　My Classmate　names, “Aya Ueto”

Is there a hikikomori board in English? I am having difficulties finding
one, I do not speak Japanese. I read a news article, and found the
phenomenon interesting.

I'm junior high school student. This year,　entrance exam　to wait for me.

>>692
Ayato Chie sometimes comes to mind when I hear Ueto Aya. Their names are
confusing, aren't they?

>>694
Maybe you can discuss it here.
There is no specific topic in this thread.

>>693
It's not very nice to post your classmates' names on the net.

>>698
Excuse me? I didn't speak to you, right? Don't harp on me, please.

Ah, I'm not feeling myself. I haven't slept for almost 30 hours.
I could use some sleep. Sorry. You are right. We mustn't mention
your classmates' names here.

I'll go to bed. Bye.

SAVE THE BREATH
QUIT THE SCENE

I decided to quit a NEET!

what job are you going to do?
job related to english?

good

you want to do a good?

A job using English is better. In any way I will go to the Hello work at 9 am

i was saying that to >>708

Usual fucker jobs are listed on web search line.
Those companies cannot catch my attention.
By the way I do hate to take a job related physical and sales.

I finally have found out that NEET is a perfect loser, not winner.

what kind of qualifications do you have?

>>716
pre-1st grade of STEP test only.

>>712

are you going to stay up late?

how many scores do you think you will get
at toeic test?

There are many fucker freelance companies that offers no related English jobs
Unko-power is the ugliest. Bad will is worse.

>>719
I haven't taken any TOEIC test at all so far... But I think I have more than 730.

ah... don't think too much about it. job hunting is an arse.
you can just get some job for the moment, and if you don't like it,
quit and change over to another one.

toeic is the abbrebiation
of ""Test of English for International Communication""
so test was an excess.

what do you mean by "an excess"?

you like using the word "fucker".
where did you learn such usage?

do you think 2ch threads helped you to improve your english skill?
i am wondering.

im vwry sleepy...

ok, then sleep...

ok, then sleep...

i cant i have o download somrthin hot...

>>724
good question. to tell you the truth,i also thoght somethig was
strange.

i look up a word "余分"　in　english-japanse dictionary.
excess was　one of the　lists.but　excess　sounds　unnatural
to me. how should i say?

are you guys all-nighters or early risers?

>>730
wordy or redundant, perhaps...

>>731
i need to get up early... i have to be at work by 9 am.

hey mr.neet.
i thoght you only spelled wrong or you were
just a native speaker wannabe.but you know a lot of specific
spellings japanese usually don't use.
have you ever lived in english-speaking contries?
are you from u.k?

ah downloaded completed...
it took more than two hours...

>>733
but isn't it too early?
it's just the crack of dawn...

>>732
oh .that sounds pretty fitting.

>>734
consider this:
there are more than 2 people on this thread at the moment - you, me
and the neet guy.

>>735
XXX　video?

>>737
do you mean neet guy could't have lived abroad?
so you are a native speaker from u.k!right ?

>>737
uh that would make me neet but i am not.

>>738
just a lesbian movie i suppose.

in definition just a lesbian movie is not xxx???

is soft core movie right?

>>739
why? because i used "arse" instead of "ass"?

>>740
well, someone said he/she was.at any rate, why don't we use
handle names so we don't get confused.

i want to know who is using these words like fucker, arse, vwry, somrthin.

neet guy and the other guy?

learned only through the internet?

>>742
i dont know sir, i havent seen it yet i got it from hankaku board sir.

ok, which one is the neat guy? the one with the lesbo film?

>>743
sure. i cousulted "arse" in wiki.

that is used mainly the Commonwealth

>>743
I'm recognisible I am the one who's been posting with "sage" in the e-mail field all along.

>>744
Those spelling errors I made is much due to the fact I typed them in bed. Ha ha ha...
Now I'm up and alert somewhat.

>>747
i personally think arse has a better spelling than ass. don't you
agree?

i forgot to put a preposition
that is used mainly in the Commonwealth

Now I have to crack the password...

Yeah I did alright. It was easy.

>>750
don't think too much about that. no one really cares. i can understand
and the other guy can also understand. that's what language is.
a tool for communication...

>>750
by the way, it's "the" UK, not UK, if you are still bothered
by the usage of articles.

That was a large video.
Good picture quality, too.
All the efford was rewarded.
he he he

>>755
do you know a guy called "subject" by any chance?

You know, in the U.K. they use single quotations not the double...

>>748
oh you never used intenntinally?lol
but somrthin and vwry sounds close to the actual accent.
and i found a lot of native speakers are using
somrthin and vwry on google.just a mistake?

even if you are not a native speaker,it is　probale that
you have a good command of english.

>>743
i heard of ""ass""
.but never heard of arse.

>>756
Yes, I have seen him here sometime ago.
A noisy kid he was.
What of him?

>>754
i welcome being corected .

>>757
not necessarily true...

>>759
just wondering what happened to him. i was around when he was.
a couple months ago now.

>>758
Those keys are close by and you tend to miss hit, he he he.

>>761
Whad do you know, many of the American ways are invading the United Kingdom.

proof that girls are evil -
take a look at this!!
ttp://www.stacken.kth.se/lists/best-forestry/2001-05/jpg00000.jpg

>>762
I miss k-tan.

is there anyone who have benn brought up abroad?

that matter touchs your privasy?

i want to know yes or no.

>>766
i am sure she's busy with her work...

>>765
(　＾ω＾)

>>767
yes

>>767
No, I've never been overseas including Sado island...

>>771
sado is not a korean terrtory.
tushima is.

>>764
actually, these things are decided by publishers and not by the people.

>>770
you were broght up abroad but you are japanese citizen
or of japanese descent right?

>>774
yeah. but why does it matter to you?

>>775
just curious.also native speaker is a person
we somehow pay respect to in this forum.

is bnp(british national party) getting famous in england?

haha... even if i were a native speaker, i wouldn't be sitting here
typing to be respected! anyway, respect is supposed to be mutual.
don't you agree?

>>772
I thought Tsushima was Dazai's real name.

>>777
yes. it is very famous...

well... infamous, i should say...

>>779
yeah, you are right.

yeah it should be.
but this is a english studying forum.as a matter of coure
english speaking ability can be highly valued.
i know english is not everything.
we should learn through english,not from english itself.

>>780
have you ever got racial slurs like these people?

are they prominet in your ordinary life?

>>773
As far as I know of, the usage of single quotes could be seen in British English.
They have certain rules in typsetting, you know, the main of which are Chicago rule and Oxford rule.

By the way I've seen you somewhere else.
You were discussing with Sirwi (now Shouga) in the other thread, ha ha ha.
I liked it.

is there anychance bnp got more and more support and get
a seat in national congress?

i heard
bnp chairman? is homosexual.but he is openly anti-gay.

>>783
well... to be honest, i've done enough learning through english, and
now i just cannot be bothered. i am learning though french now...
not that i want to speak the language, but i have to. (by the way,
i don't think you read my "i should say" properly. it's a way of saying.)

>>785
hey tio! here is someone who remembers me!!!

>>786
i don't really care about bnp. they are all ignorant twats from
countryside.they are not civilised. that's all.

i have read shoga's idiotic writings in japanese many times on this board.
but i didn't know he can discuss with native speakers in english.

Ah it's bright outside.
The Internet is bad for my health and my NEC chan.
She is feeble now and has been making some suspicious noises lately.
I should go now. Good by. (　＾ω＾)

>>785
yeah, but that's set by some self-claimed authorities.
you see,people don't really adhere to that.you see many
british people using " or ' depending on how they feel.

>>791
ciao!

>>789
big cities like london are more safe ?

in japan,big cities are thoght to be more dangerous in general.
i thought downtownarea is a nest of gangsters.

>>790
he has many good points, but all those are obscured by his anger, hatred and ... haha

>>794
london is safe. but tokyo is, i suppose, safer (at least that's what papers are claiming in the uk).
but i don't really know. i've never lived in tokyo.

>>795
so problem is not what he says,but how he behaves?

>>797
personally, i think he should concentrate on what really matters:
his idea about how to learn english without wasting much money.
i mean, what he is saying is basically what people usually do (outside japan)
when learning a new language. there is nothing new about his idea.
he has other problems though. he should leave the politics out of
the board.

do you like london mayor Livingston ?
we see london mayor on japanese tv hardly.

controversial statements from livingston and successive incidents
drew even japanese
media's attention.

>>799
he's just not careful enough to be a politician, i think.
there is one rule in the world. never ever offend jewish people.
they are sure to get back to you... (well, having said that, i am
not anti-zionist. just in case. haha)

wow! do you feel some difficulties in getting along with
jewish people in daily life or through media coverage and so son.

>>800
you are an anti-Semite.

no. it's just a general rule. they are understandably hyper
sensative about certain subjects. sometimes, they over-react.
i have some jewish friends, but what i don't like is some ultra
fanatic jews... somehow they think they are permanently the victims
of something, thus have the rights to do whatever they wish to do.
besides, these jewish organisations are well-networked and wealthy.

>>802
i said "anti-zionist" coz i don't want to get killed by some crazy zionists.
i choose words carefully, as you can see. haha... anti-semite and anti-zionist
are different things.

well... i've got to sleep now. nice chatting to you.

hey nice to see you alive, mr.eggplant

hey... I am still stuck and you?

I want to pursue a career of pop-artist! lol
maybe I will be like Andy lol

congratulations! you've got censored! we'll locate you.

Hello.

I caught a bit strange sight yesterday. I went to a relatively big bookstore and of course
as I'm a learner of English, I walked to the sheleves full of English textbooks where I found
maybe a westerner standing in front of a shelf, reading some of the textbooks. They are all written
in Japanese and, if I'm not mistaken, he was reading TOEIC books. Did he want to take the exam so he
needed one to prepare for the exam? No, that couldn't be true. He mustn't've needed it.
Did he teach English so he wanted learning materials? Yeah, that sort of makes sense.
He may have been so.

>>812
Maybe he wasn't an English speaker, could be a Latin speaker or other sorts.

812=Kylin
Long time no see.

>>814
I meant 813!! D'oh!!

>>812
i read in a translated edition that
immigrants or students from the east europe are
growing in the uk.
isn't he a slav people,maybe polish?
i think there is no big feature difference between british
and polish.
though there can be some diferences, i think it's very hard to
make out who is polish or british .

My 2ch browser doesn't support the Korean language....

>>831
I believe he is a Korean

>>818
LOL Haven't seen the term "日本鬼子" for a while.

>>837 oops

>>836
Or some other guy who speaks Korean.

：& ◆YQhEyq5zhY is a zainichi korean(在日コリアン）in america
LOL ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

zainichi korean means korean living in japan.
so korean living in japan living in america ????LOL!!!!!!!

it's true that some zainichi korean in america are calling each other
zainichi and forming zainichi reunion.

That's just a bunch of bullshit. Why would they wann call themselves zainichi when they are in the US??

>>835
You better be thinking about changing your browzer., cuz that's just no stateoftheart kinda browzer IMO.
Korean is hot right now. Don't get behind.

>>843
I don't know of any 2ch browser that supports it.

I don't either.
What's the point of having Korean words displayed in a 2ch browser?
2ch itself doesn't support Korean.

>>842
don't know.
they never return to korea, hardly can speak korean
but have no idea of getting naturalized in japan.
they wanna call themselves zainichi in america and speak preferably
in japanese .so they are the first generetion of korean living
in japan in america.

I'm downloading a video clip of Moritaka Chisato now.
I have no time to rest. It's a wild party after midnight.

morishita chisato is better.

If you insult my Chi-chan I'll make you beg for your life, mister.

Morishita Chisato is really confusing.
I first saw her name and thought Moritaka Chisato.
Chances are you know what I mean here.

Moritaka Chisato gets obasan.

>>851
Don't worry I'll take her to the beach.

>>845
I am not using a specific 2ch browser to browse 2ch.
So I can view the Korean words.

Zai-nichi has two parts, zai and nichi.
Zai means "exist" or "stay". Nichi means "Japan".
Zainichi Korean means Koreans staying in Japan.
Zainichi Korean in America means Koreans staying in Japan in America.
That means Japan belongs in America, which is to some extent true.

I'm not in the mood for political talks.

>>850
learning her name for the first time,i thoght she borrowed the name from
moritaka chisato. maybe only coincidence,but confusing.
little people point their resemblance.
i wonder.

>>856
I don't know whether it's intentionally or not,
but I have seen many porno actresses whose names obviously resemble TV celebrities.

I think it's stupid to spend time thinking about Moritaka Chisato and Morishita Chisato.
They both have disapeared from public life.

In your narrow sight.

morishita resemles moritaka in appearance too.
they have long limbs for japanese. ofcourse moritaka is
prettier.but they look　like each other.
>>857
that is true of american porno stars.sometimes it makes me laugh.
they are doing the same thing in naming the movie title.

for example,タイタニック、爆裂パイパニック　in japan.
FOREST GUMP, FORESKIN GUMP in usa.
i've　never seen these movies.

FORESKIN GUMP's japanese title is more funny.
フェラスト・ガンプ／一股一毛（いちこいちけ）

Made me laugh violently.
