>>926 just like this. "author was the korean.and people in the comic book is korean." i think koreans are gradually getting aware of the fact. but at that time,they don't know.
>>930 Oh, I see... plagiarism. The Korean マジンガーZ is protecting Takeshima/Dokdo? (I'll use both names when referring to them, because I'm neutral on the matter)
Is that to get kids interested in that issue at an early age?
Did you mean that you find a picture of a Norwegian?
Racism - # based on racial intolerance; "racist remarks" # a person with a prejudiced belief that one race is superior to others # discriminatory especially on the basis of race or religion
Ah, ah, We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. The hammer of the gods Will drive our ships to new lands, To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming! On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore. Ah, ah, We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. How soft your fields so green, Can whisper tales of gore, Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords. On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore. So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins, For peace and trust can win the day Despite of all your losing.
>>938 There was once a day, but old Time wasythen young, That brave Caledonia, the chief of her line, From some of your northern deities sprung, (Who knows not that brave Caledonia's divine?) From Tweed to the Orcades was her domain, To hunt, or to pasture, or do what she would: Her heav'nly relations there fixed her reign, And pledg'd her their godheads to warrant it good.
A lambkin in peace, but a lion in war, The pride of her kindred, the heroine grew: Her grandsire, old Odin, triumphantly swore, - "Whoe'er shall provoke thee, th' encounter shall rue!" With tillage or pasture at times she would sport, To feed her fair flocks by her green rustling corn; But chiefly the woods were her fav'rite resort, Her darling amusement, the hounds and the horn.
Long quiet she reigned; till thitherward steers A flight of bold eagles from Adria's strand: Repeated, successive, for many long years, They darken'd the air, and they plunder'd the land: Their pounces were murder, and terror their cry, They'd conquer'd and ruin'd a world beside; She took to her hills, and her arrows let fly, The daring invaders they fled or they died.
The Cameleon-Savage disturb'd her repose, With tumult, disquiet, rebellion, and strife; Provok'd beyond bearing, at last she arose, And robb'd him at once of his hopes and his life: The Anglian lion, the terror of France, Oft prowling, ensanguin'd the Tweed's silver flood; But, taught by the bright Caledonian lance, He learned to fear in his own native wood.
The fell Harpy-raven took wing from the north, The scourge of the seas, and the dread of the shore; The wild Scandinavian boar issued forth To wanton in carnage and wallow in gore: O'er countries and kingdoms their fury prevail'd, No arts could appease them, no arms could repel; But brave Caledonia in vain they assail'd, As Largs well can witness, and Loncartie tell.
Thus bold, independent, unconquer'd, and free, Her bright course of glory for ever shall run: For brave Caledonia immortal must be; I'll prove it from Euclid as clear as the sun: Rectangle-triangle, the figure we'll chuse: The upright is Chance, and old Time is the base; But brave Caledonia's the hypothenuse; Then, ergo, she'll match them, and match them always.
>>942 Ah, the allegory of the cave. That's the only thing I like about Plato to be honest. I was never really a fan of euthanasia, human breeding, the militarization of society and his ideas about the need for a military and political elite
>>943 Plato had *some* ideas, but things don't really get interesting until Socrates, or the Stoicism. It's amusing that the only way the idea of someone not belonging to a country, but being a "citizen of the world" only came after Alexander the Great, who, amongst his exploits, razed towns and plundered the land. I wonder if the world could survive another enigmatic conqueror such as Alexander?
>>945 Well, I would argue that Greece at least, was better off than it was before Alexander's conquests. I can't really imagine anything like that happening now though. Alexander with nuclear weapons?
I don't like BUSH and Americans How about this? Should I hit the head of the US SOLDIER "parasiting" to Japan with big beer bottle and thrust his throat with the broken beer bottle?
I always thinking how I can panish and execute the sinful AMERICANS for world piece and I'm always hesitating that I shold really hit the "在日米兵"'s head with baseball bat when I'm speeding with my 50cc bicycle
>>953 I heard Americans are easy to be identified in Europe because they don't mind their fashion. I mean they don't care how they look, wearing sloppy jeans and casual wron-out T shirt and all. Is that the case?
>>954 I'm not sure that their fashion is so bad... sometimes, I suppose. They are easily identified though, because...well... I don't really like saying it, but they are usually a bit obnoxious.
>>955 In what way do you find American tourists obnoxious? Do they act as if they are in their own country even if they are just visitors? I'll hit the sack. It's about 3 in the morning. See you around.
>>956 Yeah, that's pretty much it. They act as if they are in their own country. Well, kind of. They're really loud in quiet places like restaurants and on public transport. Also, they seem to have no respect for people around them.
Funny that most of my American friends find stereotypical American tourists obnoxious. They are loud, inconsiderate, do inappropriate things at sacred sites, ask for a discount in 'English' on a dollar souvenir, etc. But tourists are obnoxious anyway, whatever country they are from. I guess American tourists are a bit more than just tourists...
>>957 I am still awake. ^^ How does American English sound to you as a Scottish intonation or pronunciation-wise? What is your impression on spoken American English?
This time I'll really go to bed!
>>958 What you said reminds me of a Japanese proverb, "旅の恥はかき捨て”
i've just watched late-movie show.evil side was germans in nazi costume.they were all blonde. good side is ally of Tibetans(chinese?actors are chinese) and american whites. typical good VS evil story.it's boring.
in hollywood movie, people with blond hair and blue eyes are sometimes characterize as evil.in the movie of "karate kid" enemy was california golden boy who parted his hair on the side. Ralph Macchio is italian-american. his girl friend in the movie was blonde though....
>>962 yes. i don't think german's blond rate is exceptionally high in europe.
but every nazi or nazi sympathizer in the dramas or movies are almost all blond.
set aside the topic of blonde, nazi is typical enemy for american movie or drama. i don't support nazi,but we've watched these too many times. stories are too stereotyping and boring.not creative.
but you'll agree blond is the sign of stupidity as well as sign of sexiness in hollywood . i'm not interested in blond people much.but i don't like the way they act.
>>966 Blonde's are on the receiving end of thousands of jokes about their intelligence actually. It's not just in Hollywood. I think that blondes are becoming less popular these days.
don't americans pay homeage to scotland? scotland is one of their homeland. priortizing america over their descents is natural. but they should respect their ancestors somewhat.
some chinese americans do much.they have strong sense of chinese rather than (chinese) american.
>>964 In movies, Nazis (or their sympathizers) are usually blond, due to that the blond, blue-eyed muscular man is what the nazis stereotyped the so called "Aryan race" as. Which is pretty amusing considering that the one who was most for breeding forth an army of this kind of men was the exact opposite of this. Hitler must have hated himself a lot.
>>966 Blond(e) hair in itself isn't a sign of stupidity, however the blond(e) stereotype of bimbos quite use it as a such. It probably developed centuries ago, when bleaching your hair was rather dangerous, and the ones who did so indeed literally lost many brain cells each treatement, rendering themselves idiots in the process.
>>977 Do you mean that without dark hair, it wouldn't have appeared as if he was doing it with the country's interests in mind, but just trying to ensure his own superiority?
