■Korean Residents in Japan Time Line ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Introduction of zainichi Koreans' historical trail and related cases ttp://www.geocities.co.jp/HeartLand-Apricot/9959/nenpyou.html ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ・1865 Japan pried open closed Korea at that time. ・1894〜1895 Japan fought Japanese-Sino war to stop Qing from taking Korea for a tributary and from interfering in Korea, and won. ・1904〜1905 Japan fought Japanese-Russo war because Russia asked to vacate the area at a latitude of 39 degrees and upper north, and won. ・1909 Hirobumi Ito was assassinated by a Korean. ・1910 Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty conclusion. Since this year about one million Koreans had come to Japan for jobs until 1939. The treaty lasted until 1945. ・1920 Population of widely resident Koreans in Japan grew rapidly and they caused a lot of troubles with their neighbors. → "Travel restriction of Koreans" was implemented. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
・1939 World War II outbreak About 200 illegal Korean immigrants a month kept being arrested in only Fukuoka pref. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ At this point about one million Korean residents in Japan. ・1944 1944/9〜1945/3 Period of recruitment of Korean soldiers and labors under national mobilization law and national recruitment low, that is so called compulsive recruitment by Koreans. Very short period and amount of recruited Koreans is small. This had already been applied to Japanese as far as 1939. 1944/12〜1948/8/15 "Travel restriction of Koreans" was abolished and a massive amount of Koreans flooded into Japan. ・1945 World War II termination; About two million Korean residents in Japan Number of Koreans that had increased since 1939 was 700 thousand and they came personally with their own will for jobs. Rest 300 thousand were recruited for Japanese industries or engineering enterprises. ・1945/8〜1946/3 After the war 1.4 million Koreans who desired to go back to Korea, were sent back by Japanese government. 610 thousand Koreans refused to to back and stayed with their own will. They were the root of current Korean residents; only 245 among them were recruited by government or companies.

Korean people say,“Korean women were taken away to brothels by Japanese people. There is the evidence. (1)” park6.wakwak.com/~photo/image/ianfu01.jpg But it’s not true because they are mere advertisements saying “Wanted comfort women. Salary of 300yen a month, and you can borrow 3000yen.” By the way let's think about the value of yen in 1944. www8.plala.or.jp/shinozaki/s19-1944.pdf A policeman’s salary was around 45 yen a month then. A policeman’s salary is around 200,000 yen a month today. www.keishicho.metro.tokyo.jp/saiyou/keisatsu/keisatu.htm 200000÷45=about4444 In short the rate of price increase is 4444 times. 300yen×4444=1333200yen… It’s amazing! A comfort woman’s salary was 1330,000yen in current value. And she was allowed to borrow 13,300,000yen. Assuming 1yen=10won, “Salary of 13,300,000won! You can borrow 133,000,000won!” Whoever read this knows that they wanted to be hookers. Can this be expressed as “TAKEN AWAY” ?

Indeed. Continuing on from the last thread... it seems a lot was said after I left. Here's my point of view on the racism deal...
Not all Americans are racist, and not all white people "don't know what it's like", either. I myself spent a good while in a predominantly African American community where people with white skin were the minority. I got along just fine. I met plenty of people who didn't like me because I was white, but frankly, if they're ignorant enough to care about what color someone's skin is, then I don't want to know them anyway. Race doesn't matter in any form. My brother's girlfriend is African American, and my ex girlfriend is Asian. I, and many others, have grown up in heavily mixed settings. Hell, I'm not even 100% white. I'm part Native American (American Indian, Cherokee). The assumptions and generalizations of any group of people as being racist or conforming to any sort of behavior is racist in itself. No country or place is not guilty of having citizens with racist beliefs, and that will never change. Hopefully these ignorant people who think race has any bearing or that it makes someone either good or bad will come to the rude awakening that it means nothing, as in the end we are all human just as everyone around you. Someone else has a different pigment in their skin? Who the hell cares. Just another person like you.
Racists are complete and utter scum, plain and simple. People who base prejudice off of the nationality of a particular person, regardless of race, are in the same boat as racists.
1. What is the name of the leader of Team Rocket? 2. What pokemon has a gold coin on its forehead and learns Pay Day? 3. What is the first pokemon Ash catches?
>>42 Whales are lovely. I love the recorded sounds of whales underwater. Their songs are so pretty. I think there is some whale watching available in San Francisco, but I haven't seen any whales.
>>44 The first two are correct, but the answer to the third was Caterpie, since he received Pikachu from Professor Oak, but that was still a good answer.
>>46 Ah, yah got me. xD I still have my pokemon red leftover from elementary school. And I want to get pokemon for my nintendo DS too. sounds like fun.
What kind of udon was it? Was it Donbei? By the way, I watched the movie called Pan's Labyrinth. Pan's Labyrinth is the best movie ever in my opinion. You should see it, if you are dumb enough to not have seen it yet.
Zaru udon is not a kind of soupy-food, because it's on a zaru. And in its general tone, the world of Pan's Labyrinth is really scary and sad. It is a definet masterpiece. Really amazing. The eyes in the hands monster was really scary and creepy and weird, and just great. How could anybody come up with those stuff. Its beyond me and blows me away. Imagination is great. I was reminded a lttle bit of Spirited away by Hayao Miyazaki.
>>59 You are speaking English here just now there. Just Studyin English is boring and won't last. It is difficult to keep stugyin English just in order to Study English. You might want to find something exciting in English and do that something. I think this place is very good place for Styding Englishy becasue it's fun.
>>60 Agreed. The gore and stuff really let the person watching relate to ofelia. Spirited away is very cute. Miyazaki films are usually very inspiring to me. n_n
>>61 I see, that makes sense. Don't worry, this thread moves slow anyways. xD
>>65 it kind of depends though. The best way to have a Subway sandwhich is to use wheat bread, with extra lettuce. and chicken is a healthier option as well.
I was just kidding. I have never had anything at Subway. But the Kimmie Meissner being beautiful part is the only truth in this thread. She is a figure skater, like chairman Mao.
Did you know members of an american organization raided Japanese ships many times to protest against whale killing? I have a feeling that American people can't talk, instead they attack.
>>72 Your dream is to be able to use English. That's fantastic. Same here. I want to speak and listen and write in English. TOEIC can be a good motivation for studying English and beyond. So that's really good.
Okay, time to sleep. Good night everyone.n_n ZzZzZz

>>71 I assume you are referring to Sea Shepherd. I hardly think it's fair to judge all Americans based on the actions of a single extremist organization.
79 :Anonymous American ◆qZIn0AJcYg :2007/04/18(水) 18:58:17
>>78 Thanks. It's good to see that 2ch is still alive and kicking. Last time I was here there were rumors circulating about this site's impending demise.
>>76 All I wanna say is nobody should poke his or her nose into other countries for pitty's sake. Who cares if Koreans eat dogs, Chinese eat human, Aussie eat boomers, Beefeaters eat ram kidneys, Eskimos eat kiviaks, French eat doves, Americans eat armadillos, Japanese eat whales........................ It's quite ridiculous to critisize other nation's food cultures.
>>79 The rumor has come and gone countless time so far.
As far as I know, 2ch is run by Hiroyuki, who started 2ch in 1999 and many volunteers. The problem is Hiroyuki has lost in some defamation lawsuit and he still has some suit just in the middle of trial.
The suit was/has been filed by people who claim they are disgraced by anonymous post and demand him that those posts should be deleted. But he doesn't based on freedom of speech or something. I don't know...
Hiroyuki doesn't obey court's orders to pay plaintiff money, so the rumor that 2ch is going to be confiscated comes up often.
Well, statistics show that visitors to 2ch is declining a bit because of the popularity of SNS. Pople in thier 20's prefer Mixi, which is the most famous SNS in Japan, boasting nearly 8 million members.
People in their 30's prefer 2ch. That's what I read somewhere on the net. Personally, I think 2ch survives.

>>80 Your point is well taken. I will certainly consider it the next time I am tempted to assault a Japanese whaling boat while eating armadillo with my crew of Chinese cannibals.
But this is what men do around the world regardless of race, ethnicity, so I won't be descriminated, right? I might be descriminated by women, then? Naahhhh. cause I let them feel hmmmmmmmmm.. by the act.
Do you think ordinary citizens need to have guns? I do not think so considering the tragedy at Virginia Tech. This type of incident may not be prevented, but if the perpetrator had lived in Japan, he would have used a kitchen knife and the number of victims would have been far less than in the US.
I think it's just too late to do any sort of gun control, because there are billions of guns already all over the US. It's not so difficult to aquire guns even if guns are illegal, just like drugs.
>>85 The point is not guns spread around the US but the people living there. Guns never kill people but people kill people. Uncivilized races such as Koreans and Chinese are most dangerous species to own guns. The US government should restrict their immigration and kick them out of the country.
USA is the only country letting people own guns legally. Cmon, that's something seriously wrong. And what do they base on for allowing that? An ancient, obsolete, deprecated law ever since the war of independence.
That's just wrong, admit it. It doesn't matter if people kill people or guns kill people, it's killing and guns make it easier.
So you'll stay there for one year, from last September to next June? New school year starts in September there, right? I guess you went there before September, though.
Then more than half of your stay is over. You only have three months or so left. Are you satisfied with your stay there? You must be homestaying there. Are you get along well with your host family?
I heard about that. My hostfamily is really nice. Especially second one which is the family I am staying right now.
Hmmm...not really..? My hostfamily is really busy every weekend. But they don't leave me alone. Never. Shopping, go to see movie, etc... Oh, sometimes we go to play tennis at school. This is so much fun!!!
Good! You were supposed to stay with two different families? Like, for the first half with one family and the last half with the other family?
I heard Americans yell at the screen while watching a movie at movie theater. Is that true? When they watch spiderman for example, they cheer spiderman screaming like "Go, spiderman, go!!"
Hmm...I've never heard someone yelling at theater, but when I watch movie with my hostfamily at house, if someone missed the words or sth, they ask someone. I don't like to talk during movies... Other thing, I heard this from my hostsister that when she went movie theater, one teenage girl's cell phone rang, and she picked up. She talked on the phone during the movie in there.
I know! She was so rude! Oh! I remember now. When I went to see movie, that was first day of that noe movie. There were so many people. But we went early, so we could get back seats. One woman came into the theater, and she sat down infront of us with her husband or someone. Then movie started. They got BIG popcorn before movie starts, but they've already eaten all. So she stands up, talk with that guy who came there with, and stay there. I was like "What a hell is wrong with this lady," You know. She stands up and stay there and talking!! Everyone were mad!
>>117 That kind of annoying act happens everywhere, including in Japan.
Have you gained weight since you started living in US? I know they serves far larger amount of food. My sister studied in US for a year when she was a high school student. When she came back to Japan, I was surprised. She gained so much weight that she looked like a different person. She looked like a tanned pig. hehe
I'm an American, and I've heard someone yell maybe once or twice in all the movies I've gone to. It's not a very common occurrence. Most people keep quiet at movie theaters. When people watch movies at home, though, it's common to talk during the movie because you don't have to worry about offending strangers.
My family always tries to keep down the talking during movies at home unless absolutely necessary. At a movie theater, there is usually no talking from anyone, or if there is, it's a whisper that others cannot hear. I've only heard loud people in a theater a few times in my life.
On another note, if anyone here would like to Skype, feel free to email me your Skype ID and I'll add you to my list.
>128 I have 2 English classes. One is normal 9th grade English class, and other one is English beginner class. 9th one is kinda hard sometimes, but beginner one is so easy.
There are various kinds of boards in 2ch. One of my favorite boards is Karaoke board. In many threads there in Karaoke board, they record their singing and upload it to have everyone listen to it and ask feedback.
There are threads where they upload English songs. If you are interested, you upload your Karaoke. They will definately be surprised. If you like, I'll translate your post into Japanese.
>>135 We watched a movie version of the Odyssey, a comedy movie based on it ("O Brother, where art thou?"), a movie version of Of Mice and Men, and the 1960's movie version of "Romeo and Juliet". My teacher liked showing a lot of movies in class...
>>134 Haha, I'm sure that'd be funny; especially if they assume the vocalist is Japanese. They'd have a perfect American voice haha. I'm almost considering doing just that for fun, but then again I don't like to sing when other people are around, so doing so -let alone uploading it- is probably out of the question.
>>126 Yes, it's not overly expensive here. It really depends on what theater you go to though, and if the movie has been out for a while, etcetera.
>>130 No, not yet (assuming you are referring to the Skype emails).
>161 I had Choir, ChemA, and English. Sorry, the my last class is almost over. So I have to go! See you tomorrow. I will be in the library again in the morning until noon...so I will come here tomorrow and Friday too.
< `Д´> When I do a bad thing, I say "I'm a Japanese". ALL cheering and clapping < `Д´> Always. < `O´ > If we step on someone's foot, ALL "Sumimaseng" : "Excuse me" in Japanese < ´A` > ????? < `∀´> It's a small patriotism, isn't it ? < `A´ > Yeah small..............
Oh, and incase anyone is interested in knowing, my cousin John goes to Virginia Tech last I remember. I don't know if he was there when it happened, but I do know he was not murdered. I need to get in contact with him soon.
oh my god, I would love to upload an audio of me singing, but I don't have a mic. xD That would be really funny.
I only listened to the karioke of the hoobastank song (since I really like that song) I saw them in concert too. but if i commented in the english thread IN english...would people mind? xD
>>172 If you like, I'll translate your comment on the song or other songs and post it/them in the thread, explaining why you have a chance to listen to the audios in the thread.
If you don't have a mic, I've heard that earphone or head phone can be alternative. You put an earphone or a headphone to the jack where mic is supposed to be put in and talk to the earphone/headphone. They work as a mic. If you succeed to record your song by that, let me know in this thread.
You can e-mail me your audio file and I'll post it on the thread, not mentioning singer is a native English speaker. I'll post there pretending to be Japanese. And let's see how they react.
If you prefer you reveal you are a native English speaker from the beginning, that's good, too. I'll translate what you want to post there into Japanese and their feedback into English. I'll tell my e-mail address here if you agreed with all this and succeed to record your singing.
>>173 oh wow! I will deffinatley have to try the earphone thing! xD Maybe that way, I could karioke a song in english, and then try a japanese one, so everyone can laugh at me. xD
I would like to comment to them, if it's not too much trouble.
>>175 OK, why don't you write comments on them here. I'll translate them and post in the thread after translating them into Japanese.
But if you want to upload your English song there pretending to be Japanese, isn't it better to post the comments after you post your audio file there? What do you think? It's not sure if earphone thing works or not though.
>>177-178 Really? Then what I heard was wrong... You should put earphone where mic is supposed to be inserted. If that doesn't work, I think I got wrong information.
>>178 There might be possibility your earphone's end (terminal?) and jack doesn't fit well. Put your speaker on while trying and try not to insert the terminal to the full. If you blow your breath to your earphone and recording is working, speaker put out your sound of your breath. That way you can tell if recording is working.
>>179 It didn't work, so maybe if I ever do upload a song, it would be at a friend's house, if they have a mic. xD uhm, I probably wouldn't pretend to be japanese. Decieving people would make me feel bad.n_n;;
Thank you for offering to translate! I want to say this to >>821 : not bad! n_n I think you breathe out a lot when you sing,which makes it harder to switch into the next lyric. If you don't mind me saying so, you have a voice similar to the person from Ellegarden, in my opinion.
>>188 thanks for the link! Wow, I never even bothered to visit the karaoke board, but it's really cool! xD I like hearing normal non-famous people sing. n_n
>>189 I translate your comment and post there, expaling why one native speaker got to know the the thread. I explained, there's a thread in Englsh board where native English speakers come and one American like the song and wants to comment so I translate the comment and post it.
If you like to watch amateur singers sing karaoke, here is the place for you. It's with video! ttp://www.gyao.jp/utablog/
It's Japanese website but you can click "play" and video start.
This is one of the busiest thread in Karaoke board. If you want to listen to anonymous people sing, here is the place. There, genres of songs don't matter, they upload what they like to upload.
>>167 Be careful about those laws famous in Japan. THOSE LAWS OF THAT KOREA
《 ABSOLUTE LAWS 》 THE FIRST LAW In the range from an individual to a company and even a nation, who ally with Koreans will lose for certain. THE SECOND LAW Regarding THE FIRST LAW, when Koreans go off by themselves, only Koreans will lose. THE THIRD LAW Regarding THE FIRST LAW, who come to be hated by Koreans should be able to avoid the law, where the rate of possibility you can avoid it, corresponds with the level how you are hated. THE FORTH LAW Regarding THE FIRST LAW, who once break off with Koreans should be able to defeat the law. THE FIFTH LAW Regarding THE FIRST LAW, it will not be invoked on those who do business with the unilateral approach against Koreans. THE SIXTH LAW Regarding THE THIRD and THE FORTH LAW, who once break off with Koreans should be able to expect rapid recovery or uptrend in all aspects including the fortune and the achievement and so on.
《 GENERAL LAWS 》 THE FIRST LAW Everything invented or popular in Japan will be insisted as Korean or invented by Korean in some ten years or even some hundred years. THE SECOND LAW Those who are popular or talented in Japan are for certain insisted as Korean residents in Japan. However if Koreans hate one of them, the person should be able to avoid this law for sure. THE THIRD LAW The more Korea is featured in a Japanese TV program, the more people stop watching it. In other words how often Korea is on TV is in inverse proportion to popularity of a TV program.
THE FORTH LAW Those who call themselves Japanese domestically or overseas though nobody asks their nationalities, are not likly real Japanese. THE FIFTH LAW All unfavorable events for Korea are shifted blame onto other countries. THE SIXTH LAW A Korean president: policymaker, when end of the term is close, is likely to be involved in a political disorder and end up in misery. THE SEVENTH LAW A Japanese in power who makes contact with Korea will be ruined within two generations. THE EIGHTH LAW Power of those laws tends to be strengthened drastically in every sixty years. THE NINTH LAW Those laws are invoked even on Koreans if they have the Japanese mind. THE TENTH LAW Those laws never be invoked even on Japanese if they have the Korean mind. THE ELEVENTH LAW Those who get deeply involved to that country or get symbolic as being for sort of a poster child and so on, themselves become the law invokers and invoke them directly or indirectly on people who contact with them. As those kind of invokers come for us regardless of our wills, we are unable to avoid them in most cases. THE TWELFTH LAW UN and ICJ never be affected and ruled by those laws. THE THIRTEENTH LAW Japanese prime minister, members of the ruling coalition and their families are not ruled by those laws even if they lose themselves in Korea.
>>200 I sing "All I want" by offspring at home. Boulvard of broken dreams, Holiday by greenday
I want you to sing RAP. Foxy brown, missy Eliot or other female rapper. I am curious if native speakers sing RAP well enough. As a Japanese, rapping is real hard, almost impossible.
>>201 Oh, I didn't know those songs were popular in Japan.
haha, there isn't much rap that I listen to. But rap is easy. Really easy. Because in English, a lot of the words rhyme, so it's easier to remember. The only hard part is if there are made up slang words that I've never heard before.
>>206 oh yeah, slang can be hard to keep up with. Especially in different groups of people. People who listen to a lot of rap will probably use different slang from everyone else. Like I said, I don't really listen to rap. But I like hip-hop.
>>208 wait a minute, I think I know that song....isn't that eminem?
Wow, more than two hours and still no reply?? I knew keira was hated here for her arrogance and everything, but this is not cool, people. This is totally uncalled for. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves, treating keira like that.
>>210 >Like I said, I don't really listen to rap. But I like hip-hop.
I don't meant to dwell on this but you mean that you don't listen to rap but listen to R&B? What does the genre of hip-hop cover? Hip-hop consists of rap and R&B or does it include another type of music?
It's miai kekkon, not gekkon. I have seen somewhere it's translated to "arranged marriage." I've heard that miai kekkon is decreasing. In my parents generation, omiai and (o)miai kekkon was much more common.
I think it's a good idea if you take good advantage of it. You have a chance to meet prospective future husband/ wife with the same academic background, from families with almost the same social status.
Marrage in Japan is not just the matter of man and woman who are getting married, although this idea might be chainging. There's an aspect that Japanese marrage is about two families which man and woman are form. Marriage of two families.
In omiai system, they never set up omiai where you meet prospective husband/wife with too different family and academic background so devorce rate is lower. The man/woman you meet in omiai has similar backgrounds to yours.
For busy business man and woman with carrer, they have no time to meet a woman/man. In that regard, it's a good system where you can meet man/woman, in my opinion.
Some people deslike omiai and omiai kekkon because they think of it as unnatural to meet opposite sex in artificial setting. They prefer natural encounter with opposite sex.
Prime Minister Abe chan is planning to amend Constituion which has been never changed since its enforcement in 1946. Which do you think better, Amend or Remain?
"I am sorry to cut in but I'd appreciate it if you answered my quick question. I'm hope less when it comes to English. I'm thinkig of using Cola as a handle name when I chat with foreigners. But I am not sure which is better, Cola or Coke."
I answered in >>224 that both is OK. I think but the two words are slightly different. Cola covers any cola type of drinks such as Pepsi cola and other cola manufactured by other companies, while Coke means the Cola manufacuterd only by Coca Cola co.
>>230 Yes, your answer was right. Cola covers a broad range of beverages, all made from the same base ingredient. Coke is the main Cola product manufactured by Coca Cola.
>>235 The amusing thing is that arranged meetings between people is becoming more popular, now that we live in supposedly increasingly alienated societies.
I'd personally like to meet a possible partner in a more formal setting. I don't find the idea of meeting a girl at a nightclub very appealing, because I hate nightclubs and the dancing there is stupid moving and swaying. Besides, they're usually already drunk. At least if you meet someone in a more formal setting, you may be able to have some sort of interesting conversation before they get drunk.
I don't think I'd join a dating service or agree to an arranged meeting. The profiles on dating websites are stupid. And besides, my parents are poor, so they wouldn't be able to buy a very interesting or attractive girl. Maybe they go on sliding scales according to age?
>>236 Well, I know that it's common to meet a life partner while in college.
But you don't go to a college and don't like clubs or internet dating, then I would just be daring and ask out a random friendly looking person. xD You might be surprised by what they answer. xD Or ask some friends to introduce you to someone.
Asking some friends to introduce you to someone is kinda like informal omiai to me. Goukon is also imformal omiai to me. Omiai is just changing its shape to me. Just the formality of Omiai is shuned by young people, but I don't think much has changed to me.
>>237 I go to uni. I hate uni. I have to wake up too early to get there on time and it takes too long to get home. I fall asleep in lectures and the girls there are depressingly dull or cut "straight from the mold"... you know, they go to uni to "You know, like, study to become, like, a teacher, or like, a lawyer or, like, (shudder) a journalist". They also spend the time waiting for the class to begin staring into their dumb mobile phones or talking to their dense friends or the idiot frat boys who are pretending to give a crap about their dreams.
I'm a bit antisocial, but I'm not crazy or psychotic or the anything of the like. Stereotypical girls just irk the hell of me. I even tried joining a club, but they were there, with every second word they said "like"... I haven't gone back to that club, since.
>>239 hahaha, I see. That may be true, it's omiai, but not called omiai. oh well, I think dating is exaggerated too much in movies and TV shows anyways. People are supposed to have fun with dating, not worry over it.
Hello from Japan. How do you do. I want to know about how Koreans are doing in America. Are they wiped off the face of America yet? I'm really sad for them..
>>243 I know what you mean actually. groups of girls that don't really have anything different about them. But the thing is, girls like that really do have a personality, it's just tucked away deep inside of them. u__u Guys can be that way too. It's a bit depressing. They need something to open up their minds.
>>244 I'm okay. I only have one class today, so I'm happy. But I'm reaaaaaaaally tired for some reason. When does STAR end?
>>250 But I don't want to have to take the time to find that personality. Besides, what good is trying to form a relationship if you don't even find them approachable? I don't feel a need to look for love. If it happens, it happens, but I don't expect it or necessarily want it to. But I don't talk to anyone at uni. Is it bad that I don't feel the need to?
Uni makes everyone inexplicably tired. It's just that boring.
Holy shit, I have a presentation on Monday... I just found it out. In other news, this radio station seems to be playing a lot of Genesis lately...
>>254 It's okay, I didn't go to prom either. And my friends who went said it was boring It's pretty expensive too. (the main reason I didn't go) So don't worry. n_n
Anyways, I have to start getting ready for school. talk to you guys later.
Some students actually don't go to prom?? Is that true? I have yet to see movies or dramas where peple don't go to prom. Ive learned a new thing. Thank you.
You're beautiful, you're beautiful, you're beautiful, It's true.. I saw your face on a corwded palce...and I don't know what to do... I never be with you.......
But you should go to the Prom. You just should. You have to have that experience. Who did what at the prom or something should be in your memory!! That's part of American tradition!! Granted, I don't know what prom is. But that doesn't matter!
What's there to hate about school? You learn things at school. You don't hate learning things, right? If that's the case, you end up really boring. Learning new stuff widen up your world, even if they seem boring or stupid. Don't get trapped in your still small world, Timmy. Don't ever be satisfied with what you have.
>>258 I'm learning the kanji for kodomo, sekai, zenbu,hajimeru, maishuu, ishou, kangaeru,akeru,heya,mikata, undou, ugoku, and kyoushitsu
>>255 I feel the same way you do. Dating isn't too big of a deal. If it happens, then it happens. I'm not sure if it's bad not to want to talk anybody. I only talk to people in my classes. Talking with other people makes it less boring at school.
>>287 If someone likes to learn, it has nothing to do with liking or disliking other things. Hating things is natural in human nature as well as curiousity. Nevertheless, you don't need to be an antsy dick about it either. You seem to have many problems. In cases such as this, what you need is a glass of lemonade.
>>255 Amen to that. That's my same outlook on dating and everything; if it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't. I don't feel a rush to go out and start dating, and frankly it seems more artificial if you have to go looking for it instead of it happening naturally.
>>264 Everything about prom is expensive. The admission, the clothes, the dinner, the (if you want one) limo, extra parties afterward, etcetera.
>>281 It's perfectly fine not to like your school or many of the people in it; I don't get along with a lot of people in mine either. Many people these days are much too shallow, ignorant, or just plain incompatible, so it's fine to not particularly like them. But if they're kind to you, it only makes sense to be kind in return!
>>248 Nothing has changed. The actions of a single Korean person does not speak for the entire Korean people. Thus, things are the same as ever: Koreans are doing just fine here and will continue to, as all other races are.
>>298 It seemed like >>248 was, considering he was citing that he wanted to know about "how Koreans are doing in America" and if "they wiped off the face of America yet." It's quite obvious he was indirectly referencing the shooting at Va. Tech.
Koreans won't be thought of any differently I wouldn't think. I know quite a few Koreans; there are a large number of Koreans in the US, and nothing seems to have changed at all. Why? Because the person who did that could have been of any race to begin with, and not just that, but it's just one person and not a group of people. Even then, only the INCREDIBLY ignorant would blame a race.
The country has a reputation for a lot of things, including that. However, I often find that many people in a lot of other countries tend to have racist thoughts that succeed even the reputation of the US for such things. Also, most people here are used to living around many people from all over the world, so racism, though of course present, is much greater in dormancy than in places where the racial mix is predominantly of one type.
In any and all cases, racism is baseless and a wonderful display of ignorance. It's just stupid, plain and simple.
Do you know about the Vetnam war? Even now Agent Orange left people in trouble. Have you ever seen even a Vetnamese hospital where many childrens and grand children are hospitalised because of Agent Orange? I can't help crying for them.
Do you know about the iraq war? Why do American people do harm to innocent civilians? Many innocent people are being killed without reasons... How can we stop it?
Most nations have taken part in pointless wars. We can't blame any one country for that. But America's aggressive foreign policy leaves a lot to be desired IMO.
Of course we care. Many Americans have family back in those countries.
>>304 I actually agree. We shouldn't have entered the Vietnam war. It wasn't even a declared war on our part, and we had no business there. There were HUGE protests here about it - my mother was even part of them. I've seen what's happened over there since, and it is very sad. War is always sad; there is no such thing as a happy war. When two countries go to war, civilians always end up getting caught in the crossfire.
As for the Iraqi war, I don't like how it's being handled either completely - but it is true we can't just pull out all of the sudden. It would be complete and utter chaos. American soldiers that do harm to innocent civilians are reprimanded for their actions, and a good amount of them have been sent to prison for it and given a dishonorable discharge from the military. However, American soldiers aren't the only ones that commit atrocities during war - no, I'd even say that American soldiers do a significant amount less of that than many others. In every war throughout history these sorts of things have happened.
It would be great if war would just cease to exist - but unfortunately that probably will never happen.
Another problem is that wars these days are leaning toward being politically run instead of militaristically run. That is why they are so prolonged and so many more lives are lost than need be. If the politicians would leave war to the soldiers and not take hold if it themselves when they haven't an idea what they are doing, then much of the stupid shit we see going on during wars would never take place.
Sorry if I sound like a broken record, but I'm sick and tired of hearing people bashing on my country because they don't like a few things about it. Every country has things they can't be proud of, and every country also has many lies or false assumptions made about it that are completely unfounded.
To reiterate a lot of the stupid stuff I see going on and misinformation I see here all the time about Americans: 1) We are not all stupid. 2) We are not all racist. 3) We are not all fat. 4) We are not all shallow. 5) We are not all arrogant. So on and so forth.
I see this all the time here, and it's these senseless generalizations that cause problems in the first place. Dislike me if you will for this post, but frankly, I personally think that it's more of a fad to hate America than there are actual reasons for it. Among many of the idiots in America itself it has become a fad to say how much they "don't like this country", etcetera. But you know what? When you ask them the simple question "Why?" they either freeze up or spit out a precomposed list that is almost exactly the same as the person before them. This is simply because they aren't even sure WHY they dislike the US.
Anyhow, I apologize for this post being so long, but I felt I needed to get that off my chest.
Thanks for the post ether, it's good to hear. After traveling to China and Mexico, I deffinatly see how privilaged a lot of Americans are, but so many of us take it for granted.
I too, am sick and tired of hearing people bash America.
>>312 Thanks. Glad to see at least one person agrees. I don't know what came over me, but once I started writing that up there I couldn't stop. I expected it the entire post to only be a few lines, but it turned into something much larger.
Yeah, a lot of Americans are privileged, but there are an overwhelming amount of them who aren't so well off either. Unfortunately it seems the ones that are given everything in life and not made to work for it are the most ignorant of all. Unfortunately the ignorant ones are like a sore thumb - they are the most noticeable. As I've said before many times... you could be on the most beautiful mountain range you have ever seen in your entire life, but if you stub your toe on a rock, all of your attention will be on the toe and not the mountain range surrounding you. In other words, human attention is completely pessimistic - we tend to notice what's wrong before we notice what's right.
>>318 They are few in retrospect. It's mostly diehard Christians that are like that, and that's not restricted to just the US. It's the ones that interpret the Bible literally instead of figuratively.
>>316 how ugly disgusting nuts the guys are !?&'(% it's exactly them who should rethink how to be. however i don't say a lot about them. i know what they do in the video is kind of their everyday life. they'll die of massive frustration unless always bashing other nations.
>>322 You might find this link interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_marriage Currently only one state in the US allows legally recognized gay marriage. It's heavily debated in many other states.
>>323 They sound American. As I mentioned earlier, there is a group of stupid Americans who think it's cool to hate America. They're the fad followers.
Some Americans are too blinded to see from outsiders' view. Of course it's not a bad thing to love thier own country, but some of them are likely to think they are always right and never to look back. How happy they are.
>>327 I agree. Some are. But it's like that everywhere - there are always hopeless patriots that think their country can do no wrong. Every country does wrong. I don't like the people you described either; they should question things more.
>>331 When I was little his music was so popular. xD I remember seeing the "Thriller" music video when it first came out! Yeah, he probably wasn't guilty, but I don't know enough to say that really. I wonder, though.
--- Anyhow folks, I should've been asleep hours ago. Be back later. :)
>>334 Can they, though? They have too many people and aren't developed enough. They can never have a good quality of life with so many people, can they?
America being a stupid arrogant bastard is really getting old. If you don't like it, why don't you sore losers become the only superpower in the world.
>>357 Actually I slept for 3.5 hours. The rest was me getting ready for school and getting here. I'm currently waiting for my classes to start. I'm okay though; I can go three days without sleep fairly easily.

>>374 Mostly Windows applications, but a few targetted for *nix as well. I've written an instant messenger (for a project in school - deleted soon after because it was a rush job with a inefficient codebase), a bunch of other small applications (file transfer, parsers, etcetera), and am currently working with a team to create an RO2 emulator. Right now I'm finishing up the interface for a packet decryptor for packet logs. There's a lot of other stuff I've written as well, but nothing overly important.
>>375 For a man like me who barely can type, you sound like very capable. I am always just on the user's side. I mean never imagined I make a software.
Founders of myspace and youtube became billionaire. How difficult it is to launce those web services? Do you have to be an exceptional programmer to make myspace or yutube?
Any person that really truely thinks we are nothing but a chance of an godless universe with a limited time before we stop functioning would be committing sucide.

Are you kelt or Angro saxon? Ireland and Scotland has large population with Keltic origin. Are there any differences in looks or personalities between Kelt and Angro Saxon?
>>386 Oh, You study Japanese. Great. I don't listen to music much but I like 大塚愛's "さくらんぼ."
I should have spelled "C"eltic. Sorry. Celtic people have talents in artistic things. I love Enya's songs, although she is not from Scotland but from Ireland maybe. Her songs are soothing.
>>389 This is not about Scotland but Ireland maybe, but do you know the type of dance in which you don't move your body from waist up but your legs are moving.
This dance, if I remember correctly, has it's orgine when Ireland is ruled by Anglo Saxon. When youu look at dancers from outside of their houses through windows they don't look like dancing but actually they are dancing, having fun.
One Japanese man went to Ireland to learn the dance and he won the contest of the dancing even though he is a foreigner.
A dance toups of the dancing made a tour throughout Japan. I don't know the Japanese was member of the dancing troupe.
>>392 I'm learning Gaelic but I'm not very good at it. English has been our first language ever since the union. Our culture and language were mostly banned after the Jacobite uprising.
>>376 Actually, MySpace is rather poorly designed, in my opinion. It's bug-ridden, and rampant with exploits. Youtube's concept isn't overly difficult either. They're just the lucky people who popularized them first. Also, that's less programming and more scripting - there is a large difference. I'd say the biggest difficulty with these types of web applications though is administration and coding in such a way that it can be stable under incredibly high loads. It should also be able to be leafed so that it can be spread across many leaf servers worldwide with little to no performance impact (keeping latency down and performance up).
>>394 I am not sure if understand it right but the thing is it's crucial to handle many access from users to the youtube and myspace srevers? Lots of access cause servers' breakdown or very slow reaction from servers so the key is not to prevent users from feeling stress when they use those sites.
I've herad the word, "scripting" but don't know the differences between scripting and programming.
398 :Anonymous American ◆qZIn0AJcYg :2007/04/21(土) 08:30:18
Scripting is programming. I'm not sure what "large difference" Ether is referring to. Perhaps you could compare scripting to driving a car with an automatic transmission and programming to driving one with a manual transmission, but you're still driving a car either way.
>>398 Scripting is -NOT- programming. Programs are compiled, scripts are parsed and run by a program. In other words, there has to be a program before there can be scripts, as there has to be an interpreter.
>>396 You're on the right track. However, it's that they have more servers, and load distributed more evenly among those servers. There is a trunk, and then leaf servers throughout their operating area. The leaves must stay synchronized with eachother, usually by synchronizing with the trunk, but sometimes by forming a mesh and synchronizing with other leaves. It's a fantastic way to spread load accross many servers and in one pass make both latency and throughput better.
>>399 Thank you for explaning. It must be kind of hard to explaining things to a person like me who just have entry level knowledge about programming and all that.
While I think I want to understand more about programming, networking, and such, I think it takes deeper knowledge for me to understand complicated things about them. The best I can be is an internet user with enough knowledge as a user even though I don't understand technical things.
>>400 Nah, if you understood what I said there, it's not hard to explain to you at all. :)
You'll get better at understanding the technical parts of things eventually. While I may be good with that sort of thing, I need to work on my Japanese quite a bit. I'm good at learning languages, but I've been having to teach myself Japanese with the aid of books, websites, and some friends who are helping me. It's so much different from English, which is I think why I find it fun to learn. Maybe I can take a class soon or something.

>>399 Are all puppies dogs? Are all kittens cats? Is playing baseball playing a sport? Then scripting is programming.
>>413 You can't use that kind of logic on everything. Scripting is not programming because the scope of a script is limited by the scope of the program. If no function is available in the program, the script is completely useless. The two are quite different.
Do you even have any programming experience? I've never met a programmer who will call a script a program. Why? Because the fundamentals of a program are much different than the fundamentals of a script, and a script is reliant on a program to do its work. Not to mention a script must be parsed every time it is run, and a compiled program does not have to be parsed at all as it is already in an assembly type language that the computer can read directly.
Sorry! Contents of the website written in Japanese and English differ. I've just notived that. In Japanese pages, it's worth reading, but in English pages, content is poor and isn't worth reading.

>>429 1. Write code that prints "Hello, World!" in Scheme 2. Run it using the MzScheme interpreter. It prints "Hello, World!" 3. Take the same code and run it through the MzScheme compiler. You'll get a real, compiled program. 4. Run the compiled program. It prints "Hello, World!"
Did you just write a program or a script? Were you programming or scripting? Come back when you are enlightened.
>>437 Do you even understand the compilation process? You could parse any programming language as a script or as a program. There is a HUGE difference in the effect that takes, however. One, the script's scope is severely limited and will NOT have full functionality of a programming language. The MzScheme compiler puts down a basic framework for the program and uses functions THAT THE INTERPRETED SCRIPT RUNS FROM and creates the equivalent compiled code. When writing an actual program, there is no framework laid down for you - what you write is what you get. In other words:
Program: Written -> Broken into ASM or equiv. -> put into component. Script: Interpreted -> run by Program -OR- Interpreted -> Compiled -> run as component with underlaying program.
No matter what you do with a script, there is always a program behind it, but it's always piggybacking on something and never standalone.
So to answer your question, you were writing a script. A script that is interpreted into a program, but a script nonetheless. It's no different than using a php file with the php executable to obtain output. PHP processes the php script, and delivers output based on that. The php script piggybacks on the php program.
So you, sir, should come back when YOU are enlightened. I'm done arguing the petty points with you, as it's a great way to waste time.
439 :Anonymous American ◆qZIn0AJcYg :2007/04/22(日) 05:45:58
>>438 So actual programs have no framework laid down for you? Does this include: - Standard libraries (printf and friends in C) - System calls (the operating system is one hell of a framework) - Internal libraries used by the compiler (for example, to implement assignment of large structs through a call to an internal memcpy function)
I guess you've never programmed then, unless you've written a program that ran on bare hardware with no operating system, no standard libraries, and in pure assembly (to avoid those nasty internal helper functions a compiler might insert). If you have, more power to you. Meanwhile, the rest of the world will continue *PROGRAMMING* in C, C++, Java, Perl, Python, etc. Because WRITING CODE is PROGRAMMING.
>>439 Actually yes, I have programmed in bare ASM. And as I said, programs are broken down into assembly, therefore C, C++, etcetera, are programming languages. Also, things like standard libraries etcetera are just that - libraries. You can write code without reliance on these libraries, it would just take a hell of a lot more code.
The OS is a parent program for applications you run on them, and you can write programs that have their own OS as well. UNIX is written in C. Operating Systems are just that - programs that can encompass other programs and provide another type of environment for them.
Using a library is indeed using a framework, but a framework of a different kind. That framework does not have to be actively being used at runtime in order to be used - the program simply calls it, uses it, and that's that. It's event driven.
>>443 I haven't seen how parents in US encourage or cheer kids up during a game but I have read about them. Enthusiastic parents's encouragement sometimes develop into verbal abuse to the parents of opposite teams kids and in rare cases even into phisical fight.
In Japan, too, parents of kids who belong to little league team are very eager to support their kids. Games are held on weekends so mothers prepare for lunch for their kids and during a game, they get very excited. It's rare for kids before entering elementary school to join any little league team in Japan.
I am not sure but around 9 or ten years old is usually the time when they join a little league team. Oh your question is not limited to baseball. Well, I would say swimming is the most popular sports parents have thier kids do even before they enter elementary school.
445 :Anonymous American ◆qZIn0AJcYg :2007/04/22(日) 07:05:55
>>442 Are Java and C# programming languages? Be careful with your answer.
>>444 Thank you for such a detailed answer! Yes, sometimes parents can get a little too enthusiastic, so sometimes parents (usually a father) will resort to yelling. I don't see it often, but it's not uncommon either. When I was a kid, parents usually had kids start sports at about 6 or 7, but I guess the times have changed, and now sports temas start up for kids as young as 3 and 4. But I guess since parents feed their kids such unhealthy food these day, it's necissary!
>>451 I do want to improve my japanese, but i can't find a program to write it in. If I did get a program, would it be against the rules for me to try and practice japanese in this thread?
What if I wanted to start a music thread in english? Would I keep it in the english board, or would it go in the music board? xD (I'm not saying that I will make one, I'm just asking hypothetically.)
>>457 What would you like to do in the "music thread in English?" As long as all posts in the thread should be posted in English, the best place for it is here in this English board, but English board is a place where you exchange info about how to improve your Englsih, how to study and such, so if you want to chitchat about music in English, this thread is the best place, IMO.
I don't think it would be a good idea to start one in the ENGLISH board. It would end up like here, which is not preferable. But I don't know where to start one exactly. It depends on what kind of music you want to talk about, for there is no such place as the music board.
You can start whatever thread you want in 2ch. However, I'm afraid if you do that in English, such thread would be even slower than this thread and it is highly possible that you might get unfriendly comments like "don't create a crappy thread".xD Anyway, you can do that to see what will happen anytime you want. By the way, I'm not sure 2ch is a good place to learn Japanese since it is filled with harsh words which you can hardly find in any real life situation. Maybe mixi is better.
I think it's ok for only keira to write in Japanese here, because she has been so great a contributer to this thread that her presence itself grants her the right to write in japanese. This is no sarcasm. I'm serious. What do you think? I think it would be fun.

>>445 I'm quite tired at the moment, spent a few hours setting up a new *nix install, so I may elaborate on this further later. The way I see it, C# and Java are in a sort of gray area due to the interpreter used (C#'s .NET framework and Java's Virtual Machine). However, I'd say that they're more on the programmatical side than the scripting side because their scope isn't so severely limited - the only thing missing is direct access to the hardware. C# breaks down into MSIL, which is almost like a MS-specific form of ASM (I know this is a poor choice of words, but frankly, I'm too tired to think right now.), so I can attest to that. I, however, do not have a lot of Java experience, so I cannot comment very much on that (I've taken a C# class).
Today it just happened to come through my mind... the day you called my name for the first time... And the day you put your arms around me to feel the warmth of life that had just started in this atmosphere. Was I selected... Thank you... I will live through wherever my heart is at, and won't stand in your way. That is the kind of style I lead my life... full of Commitment, yet no expectation at all. I'd rather believe in chances, that's easier... 長くて御免なさい^^;

Excuse me, I have a question. When someone let bombs go off or ignite explosive things, I always hear loud shouting something like "Fai* an' Ho*!" to warn people. I cannot figure out what he says. "Fire and Hold"? "Fire and Hoe"? "Five and Four"??...not sure. Please let me know what he says exactly.
See you on the TV,Call you everyday Fly across the ocean just to let you get your way No-one understands me, Where i'm coming from Why would I be with someone, who's obviously so dumb? Loves comes (love comes), love grows (love grows) Everytime you rise to meet me, take my hand to greet me Loves comes (love comes), love grows (love grows) And power can give a man much more than anybody knows
Before we ever met, I thought like everybody did You were just a moron, A billion-dollar kid You flew up all the way, Like a hawk chasing a dove I never thought that I would be a sacrifice in love
Love comes (love comes), it grows (it grows) And now that we're together, everybody knows
Is stupid really this stupid? Or a different kind of smart Do we really have a relationship so special, in your heart?

According to my very limited experience, Indian people (=people from India) are very friendly and easy to deal with. What do you guys think? Have any of you met any nasty Indian?
i'm thoroughly disappointed at bloody judiciary of this bloody country. bloody korean bastard kim sung jong has gotten no charge upon lucy blackman's case. though he has gotten the life imprisonment for other eight bloody serial raping and one murder, it's not bloody enough. this must be the notorious bloody korean privilege or otherwise it's because he must have been scattering his bloody dirty money. damn, japan is bloody over.
>kim sung jong has gotten no charge upon lucy blackman's case.
If he is not guilty at all, why did he bargain with such a large amount of money? He seems have mentioned 'ethical obligation' but that doesn't make any sense.
He was born Kim Sung Jong in 1952 to Korean parents in Osaka. His father was a poor immigrant who built himself a fortune in taxis, property and pachinko, the addictive Japanese version of bagatelle. At 15, Kim Sung Jong was sent to the preparatory school for the private and prestigious Keio University in Tokyo. There he studied politics and law. It was at this time that he underwent surgery on his eyes to make them larger and less oriental, and he took on a new, Japanese name, Seisho Hoshiyama. When Seisho was 17, his father died in Hong Kong. Seisho shared the vast inheritance with his two brothers and, at the age of 21, underwent another shift of identity, taking on Japanese nationality and the name of Joji Obara. 【The Time August 17, 2005】
Does anyone know the proper Japanese expression for the oat-flakes you make oatmeal from? So far I've come up with エンバク粗挽き, but I doubt that's correct.
Are you guys watching Heroes?? If you don't, you're missing out on something HUGE !! Mohinder SUCKS!! Why doesn't he do anything that makes sense at all??
>>622 I watched the new one last night. I agree with you that Mohinder sucks. Why didn't he kill Sylar when he was knocked unconscious?
>>623 Yeah, it has a Japanese-American and Korean-American pair (but both are supposed to be Japanese on the show). If you're in Japan, you can only watch it on the Internet because they don't broadcast it in Japan.
I found a very interesting post in a different board. I translated it in English, so enjoy! These are questions to measure how your brain is flexible. You think carefully to get the right answer before you read an aswer. ------ Q. How do you put a giraffe in a fridge? A. The answer is "You just open the fridge's door, put the giraffe inside and then close the door. This question measured if you solve simple thing by thiking too much, making things too complicated.
Next question is, Q. How do you put an elephant in the fridge? A. The wrong answer is " you open fridge's door and put the elephant inside and close the door." The right answer is, "You open the fridge's door, get the giraffe out, put the elephant in, and then close thde door." This question was to measure if you have a good memory.
Next, Lion king summoned a meeting. All animals except one gathered. What animal didn't participate the meeting? A. The answer is elephant cause elephant is in the fridge! This question measured if you can think in a comprehensive way.
If you haven't answer three questions above so far, then next question is the last chance to see if you are prefessional.
Q. There's a river where fierce aligators that eat humans. How do you cross the river? A. The answer is "you just swim across it." Because all aligators are gone to participate in the meeting the lion summoned! This question was to measure if you can think logically.
------ Hey how you guys did on this quizes? Personally, as for the second questions I don't think you have to take out giraffe. Why not keep both of them in the fridge?
◇Free Diversified Aspects Masayuki Tkayama Professor, Teikyo Uiversity ▼Negligence Mr.Kun-Tsan Tsai, author of 'Taiwanese and Japanese spirit', was an army special volunteer. He was in the deep mountain in Kyoto at the end of the World War II. He wrote the chaos from the end of the war to the end of the year when he returned to Taiwan. They became the "victory nation" overnight and were offered superfluity of food. He made grilled rice balls for starved children. He sometimes went "all the way to Kyoto station" to hand them out to children. "At one time he saw the people handing out the naval thermal vests to children. Then he talked to them and found they were Taiwanese volunteer as he was." However Koreans, who had been in the force he had belonged, "in a group broke into and robbed food and clothe warehouses." "They were domineering to hit dispirited Japanese while saying they were the victory nation." Japanese prepared special trains for the victory nation. An entire vehicle was provided for even a few passengers. They, the victory nation, called a stationmaster or a person in charge when they found a blunder by Japanese, then assaulted them by beating and kicking. Sadanori Shimoyama, a director of the traveler bureau, was one of those were gang bashed by them and he was seriously injured to the testicle explosion. The repatriation program for this victory nation was done on the order of GHQ. F.Roosevelt who had died four months before the end of the war left the will saying "confine all Japanese in four islands and destroy them". As they wanted to destroy only Japanese, unrelated people as Koreans etc. had to be banished. At this time all Koreans who had come to Japan by so called "requisition" were supposed to return to there country. However in fact all of them did not return.
Hogyu Lim wrote how they were in those days in 'The third country poeple's commercial code'. "The third country people is a word that indicates Koreans in Japan during prewar and postwar days. Most of them dreamed the success in Japan and came across the sea during the period of confusion before and after the World War II." Their occupations were "from what they were able to get cash such as salvage, pachinko or so called Turkish bath etc." Another important cash business was a crime syndicate. The story of N.Zapetti who ruled the dark world of postwar days started selling chewing gums is described in 'Tokyo under world'. In this story, Japanese rejected chewing gums which were not their preference. He tied up with a crime syndicate and made them threaten storekeepers to sell gums. Therefore the chewing gum culture was established in Japan. This crime syndicate was Toseikai that grew up rapidly after the war and its all members were Koreans. There are about 500,000 Korean residents now in Japan. 1650 among them are in prison. This number follows to that of Chinese in prison which is 2000 among total 250,000 people. The rate of Koreans receiving public assistance is 48 per 1000 people. Compared with the rate of Japanese that is 12 per 1000 people, it's as much as four times higher. They came to Japan with success dreams but are now nothing but a trouble. To deal with the increasing crimes by foreigners, the Ministry of Justice issues a "residence card" in which a person's name and address etc. are written in an IC. However, according to the report from Asahi Shimbun, "Koreans are not included" in those "foreigners". I receive an impression as "Ploughing the field and forgetting the seeds" from that. Korean residents in Japan are given shameless preferential treatments that are not given to any other foreigners.
For instance, if foreigners except Koreans are arrested for prostitutions, drugs or crimes that lead to one or more years of penal servitude, they will be immediately exiled. But a Korean resident is an exception. Only they are not be exiled as long as they have not commited crimes that lead to the seven or more years of penal servitude as homicide. They explain the reason for this is their history. In plain words, Japan owes them because they are descendants of kidnapped people. Thus they take this preferential treatment for granted. However, the kidnap by army is a fabrication made up by Kyungsik Park. They are the descendants of people who came to Japan before and after the war, and squatted as Hogyu Lim described. There is no reason that they are distinguished from other foreigners and receive preferential treatment at all. But sensible Japanese did not say anything small-minded. I compromise only Koreans who received the penalty of seven or more years of penal servitude must be exiled. Then how many Koreans have been exiled since the age Toseikai was active behind the scenes ? We have often seen, in newspapers, Korean names following "John Doe whose real name is". Expecting large number of criminals have been exiled, I asked the Ministry of Justice of the exact number. However the answer was, "The number of exiled Koreans since soon after the war until now is zero because the minister has never stamped for approval." Though it's well known that Seiken Sugiura refused the signature for execution, I didn't know any Justice Ministers had not banished Korean felons. Isn't this the bigger security concern in Japan than to refuse an execution ?

another bloody korean skunk has been sentenced to bloody life in prison.
04/24/07-12:04 Life imprisonment for serial raping "Despicable crime to take advantage of fear" Osaka district court Trial to 25 year old unemployed defendant Thosiaki Matsuoka whose real name is Toshiaki Kim, accused of burglar rape etc. against eighteen women during 2004 and 05 in Osaka, was made at the Osaka district court on the 24th. Presiding judge Hiroyuki Nakagawa described, "Taking advantage of women's fears is an extremely dirty, arch and mean", and handed down the life imprisonment sentence as prosecutors demanded. The judge Nakagawa said and denounced Kim, "Victims seriously got the woman's dignity infringed. I can't see defendant's humanity he should always have."
Wrong! I'm pretty generous and nobody around me look down on me like you. If someone try to do it or do it actually, I would send that guy to hell, hash the body up and throw them into the cave near my condo. All right ?
he was not ashamed of being lonely man. he was bold. he ate lonely in the canteen. but he didn't care!!! when he was spoken to by someone, he ignored them.what guts! he didn't have to eat in the rest room like japanese Wienees in this thread.

An online economic newspaper e-today reported on the 25th that single South Korean men performed 'Naked body check' on women while they chose their brides in Vietnam and the men's behaviors were taken up as a big issue in the locale. According to an English version of a local newspaper "Young people" issued on that day, some of South Korean men who had arrived at Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam met 66 young Vietnamese women with a view to marriage in the middle of this month. These women were introduced to men by a local marriage broker. At this time South Korean men surprisingly performed so called roguish 'Naked body check' on Vietnamese women. Though there were the cases local unlawful marriage brokers received the high referral fee and set up "Group meeting for marriage" for single men from oversea and troubles were caused, this is the first time the disgraceful behavior like this 'Naked body check' was discovered. The Vietnamese police reportedly arrested two South Koreans on the site in relation to the case. As such a case was reported through media, local people are violently repulsing it and the newspapers wrote that depending on circumstances even the damage on the national image would be concerned. Earlier at the beginning of this month, South Korean men were arrested in Ho Chi Minh City while choosing brides out of 118 Vietnamese women at an illegal marriage meeting, and were sentenced to a fine. However there are still shameless people committing such a crime as usual. Hankook Ilbo
Well, it may sound a little exaggerated what I 've just said. To tell you the truth,once you talked to yourself about your private life here as an anonymous san, but I have a good 6th sense,so I recognized you right away. Do you want me to tell you when you said so ?
"Did you miss me ?" SYOTTERA〜! but honestly speaking,may be a bit... I'll give you a hint. I also know you have a kind of job that you have to sit in front of your PC all day long.

You don't know about what "communication" is like at all. I'm sure question itself was not so important to him/her. He/she just wanted to talk with Keira!
Juche Idea rampant in Japan Teachers' Union The Juche Idea (also Juche Sasang or Chuch'e; pronounced /t?ut??e/ in Korean, approximately "joo-cheh") is the official state ideology of North Korea and the political system based on it. Kim Jong-il has explained that the doctrine is a component part of Kimilsungism, after its founder Kim Il-sung. The core principle of the Juche ideology since the 1970s has been that "man is the master of everything and decides everything". The official biography Kim Il Sung by Baik Bong had previously described this as saying that the masters of the North Korean revolution are the Workers' Party of Korea and the Korean people, who must remake themselves under the leadership of the WPK. Juche literally means "main body" or "subject"; it has also been translated in North Korean sources as "independent stand" and the "spirit of self-reliance".
>>722 Thank you! It's an informational essay about how humans are socialand curious and why we are searching for an answer to life. (It's pretty complex.)O_O and has to be 1,250 words minimum. So maybe...5 pages? I think.
Are you writing any essays for school anonymous-san?
>>730 Well, yes, It'll probably be hard, but that's the sort of stuff I like to write about-Things that can't be completely answered.n_n
>>731 No, It's for English. We were allowed to write about whatever we wanted, so that's what I decided to choose. xD I think the human mind is very interesting.
Are you guys humanitarian like me? On American Idol last night, they had a speacial about starving children and it was very eye-opening. But on the radio this morning, the DJ's were talking about how they fast-forwarded past the special so they could watch the singing instead. =_=; I can't believe people can be so apathetic about what is happening in our world.
>>734 Although I only know a bit about that show, it's kind of amazing to know that American Idol had a speacial about starving children. I don't necessarily consider myself humanitarian, but I admire people like Mother Teresa and Audrey Hepburn. Come to think of it though, I've always been very curious about the ambivalence the U.S. has. In the U.S. lots of people have the volunteer-spririt and they actually use their weekends to help people at hospitals, nursing home, etc.etc for no money. But at the same time, there are many people in the U.S. who commit hate-crimes and brutal acts against weaker people. It's kind of hard to understand how those two extremely different ways of thinking coexist in one society.
>>736 There is no one set way of thinking. Especially in America, since there are so many different cultures living next-door to each other. That's why debate classes in school are so very interesting. xD Most of the people I have met have a humanitarian state of mind, but don't actually take action. We will see the terrible and depressing things on TV, and maybe We'll donate a few dollars and tell people about it, but very few people actually are commited to solving the problem. At least we help a little, but personally, I believe it's not enough. Especially for rich celebrities. It's none of my business how they spend their money, but since they have so much of it, couldn't they spend it on people who REALLY need it?
>>737 If the info. we are receiving America is correct, celebrities are donating a lot of money in the U.S. much so than they are in Japan, because the amout of money donated can be written off when filing their income tax in the U.S., but in Japan, there is at least a restriction as to which organization you should donate to be tax exempted and probably also a restriction on the percentatge one can write off. So the point is, in the U.S., one can be more motivated ot donate instead of paying taxes, but in Japan, that is not so much the case.
>>740 I understand. Interesting. Yes, there are a lot of good celebrities who are trying to make a difference, which is great. I guess I just get angry sometimes when I watch the MTV show "Cribs", and they show these wealthy celebrity houses and they spend rediculous amounts of money on petty things. I shouldn't focus on the bad. >.>
>>746 Sacramento is actually very different from other US cities, because it's surrounded by so much nature. It's called "the city of trees" n___n
I can't wait to go to Japan. Although...I really hate cicadas. xD haha, I never even knew what a cicada was until I went to china, and they really scared me! As long as there aren't too many cicadas, I think I'll love visiting Japan. n_n
>>747 I understand, cicadas are extremely noisy at the end of summer, but you know, they spend their whole life underground as a worm, and get the luxury of spending only 1 week on the trees. I guess that's why they sing with all the power to enjoy their lives for such as limited period of time. Just be careful, when cicadas stop singing to go to another tree, because that's when they pee!!
>>750 ah! thanks for telling me! really? only for a week? geez, then I went to asia at the wrong time. xD Hmm...Maybe I do feel a bit bad for the cicadas...
>>751 I think the rule is a little outrageous, but if it's the law in india, then he should just pay a fine and be done w/ it. It might seem a little unfair, since he didn't know about the rule, but he has to respect India's law.
>>752 no problem, but you see, since not all the cicadas come out of undergound at the same time, and since there are some different kinds of cicadas, there is a time lag between the first cicada and the last cicada, if you see what I mean. So in essence, you'd want to be careful at least during July and August.
>>753 Ahh, I see.that's good,since I'm going at the end of June. But that means rain right? Having rain during the summer is such a foreign concept to me. xD
>>754 Ack. Extremists of all type really try to blow things out of proportion. =_=
yep. It can be very muggy in June. Morning rush-hour (around 8:00-9:30) on the train is the worst! Passengers' wet umbrellas, wet rain-coat and worst of all, a whole bunch of sweat fat salaried-workers only an inch away from you! Some trains have women-only carriages during the morning and evening rush-hours, so you might want to try those if you want to avoid oily men!
I don't think I'll be using trains too much though. Rush 'hour' here a lot longer than just an hour. It's considered 7:30-9:00am, then in the afternoon, about 3:30 to 6:30pm.
I always thought the word "because" came from "be" + "cause", but that didn't make much sense to me. I just looked it up, and it turns out that it came from "by" + "cause", which makes a lot more sense. Nowadays, people usually just say "'cause", though.
>>781 Wow this is amazing ! A Japanese guy is insisting on his opinion dignifiedly in America. Japan has changed a lot lately thanks to Mike Honda and the particular cockhead Asian countries.
Your heavy love sickness comes from yourself. That means the more passinate person you are, the deeper love you fall into. As a result, if you fall out of love,..................!
I believe we will marry in a few months. her birthday is June. But I'm facing two hardest obstacles! the former is I need her parents permission. the latter her production agency hates to let her quit
Actually,You don't need her parents permission. By civil law, you need her parent permission. Do you understand what I mean? By the way,What does she do? a idol or something? Veryyyy curious!
If you could start a war in any part of the world and have two nations fight each other, who would they be?
I'd make China fight India, in the Indian Ocean and in the Himalyas. It'd be nice to watch two nations fight each other and not be involved in it... we're always part of some stupid coalition for "freedom" or some joke like that.
We should have a war just to see who's the best :)
What the heck ! Again Korean dog eaters tried to sneak in. It's hard to guess why they always try that despite the hatered against the Japanese !
Mass smuggling of illegal immigrants: 11 Koreans on a fishing boat at the fishing port, Nishi-ku, Fukuoka City
At about 3:17AM on 28th, a sixty year old man who was near saw suspicious people who landed from the fishing boat at Nishinoura fishing port in Nishiura, Nishi-ku, Fukuoka City and called 110. Fukuoka prefectural police searched around there, discovered and detained eleven people: five men and six women, who are possibly South Koreans and a Japanese man who was a driver to let them flee. These eight men and women including a Japanese man were arrested on the suspicion of violating the Immigration Control Law. The police are investigating these people as the smuggling of illegal immigrants. These eleven people are in their twenties to fifties according to the west station of the Fukuoka prefectural police. Six of them were caught in to the minivan on the road in Yokohama in the same district. The Japanese man who was in the car is suspected to be there to pick up other people. Remained five people were discovered while having lurked around the fishing port. All of them are lightly attired. Their passports of South Korea were confirmed not to be counterfeit and some of them reportedly have the note of South Korea. At Nishinoura fishing port, as some ten people who seemed to be the stowaways were witnessed to land on early morning of 18th, and the police doubts the series of cases as possible continuous stowing away and investigating the background of the case. 【 Takeshi Kinoshita 】 Mainichi news 14:00 04/28/2007
Can you belive 1/3 of 2007 is almost over? Since speed of time seems to be accelerating, we'd better start making a plan for Christmas already now. Is this due to global warming? Time flies even when you are not having fun.....
Yes yEs that's exactly how i feel My life has been totally wasted up untill this point and time still flies by like crazy I don't know what to do to stop it or even slow it down
Time is not real. I think Time is just a figment of convenience when explaining things going on. In fact, there is no such thing as time so you can7t go forward or back in time.
What you see is also a figment, in that if you feel depressed, a bright sunny day will make you even more depressed, but if you feel energetic, the same bright sunny day will make you really happy. So what you see is not real either, it's just virtual reality.

There is a girl I like for more than 2 years. She's been showing me her faith that she truly loves me many times but at the same time she cheat on me. Right now she is dating with another guy. I am sooooooo jealous... She is a bitch. She said she loves me but she also says it to him. Maybe she had been just telling me a lie. How fool I am.....Mo yamemasu...
It depends on how much you love her. If you love her deeply to the extent that you can die for her, you can't stop loving her. As a result,you'll become her slave. lol
I'll give you my previous post. That is,the more passionate person you are, the deeper love you fall in. The deeper loneliness you feel in this world, the more passionate love you fall in. Thank you!
It is not even worth thinking about such a person who tells that kind of lie. Don't waste your time, and shift your focus to something else. Good luck!
>>865 anyway,if I were in your shoes,I'd break up with her. Hey! open your eyes and look around! There are a lot of cute girls here and there. If you regard her as being irreplaceable,it's your delusion. On top of that,young people tend to confuse love with sex,or with something else. Take your time to think it over. Good luck!

He is actually pretending as if he likes her but other times, he says that that he only sees her as friends... Do iu koccha? >.<
>>965 Please answer my question before giving English lessons to random people here. I need to know the Otoko no kimochi (male's mind). Is it possible for a guy loves two girls in a same quantity?
>>964 I advise you to read 853. It has nothing to do with otokono kimochi or onnanokimochi. He (853) is a type of otoko who devotes himself to his girlfriend. It's your fault that you came to love your boyfriend who is a type of guy likes flirting with girls.
>>968 Thanks for your advice. I agree. He is just a flriting guy. He only enjoying playing with girls' mind, right? But does he know that he ends up with nobody if he plays too much... OK I'll read 853...853 maybe a good guy...so I better date with 853. If there is 853 around, please contact me. Yukorin (仮名)contacts me indirect and threaten me...I need to ignore her completely. But which is better? ignore her completely or sometimes answer the email and tell her gattsu to ippatsu....>.<
It's a very difficult question.I've never experienced such a "koino shuraba",so I can't give you useful advice. It totally depends on you. If you won't be able to stand any more , you might be better "kimochi o bakuhatusaseru".
By the way,congratulations on your boyfriend coming back to you,Bernard ! How are you doing ? When I read your anonymous post back then, I realized that deep sorrow and loneliness was hidden underneath your cheerfulness. At the same time, I wanted to hold you tight and comfort you! Really! lol
>>979 Hey What do you mean by "deep sorrow and lonliness hidden underneath"? -_-#?? It is easy to imagine someone who writes the posts like that in middle of the Golden Week is lonely....I know lah but I am NOT! I am HAPPY!! being alone!!! >.< and...I'm not bernardo. Mr Bernardo kenkyuka..>.<
I'm curious, why do the people of 2chan hate Americans so much? If anyone english posts on their image boards, they freak out. They insult us, sage us, etc... Even if we only say Hello, we get saged to hell.
I thought the Japanese were pretty friendly towards foreigners, untill I saw what happends on Japanese BBS and Image boards.
>>984 I'm not sure if I understand your question completely, but generally speaking, when posting on Japanese boards, I think it's natural that we expect the language used there to be Japanese. Language is an essential part of any country's culture, so I think it's kind of rude and arrogant to push your way through by using your own language even though English is the defacto standard in business. I think this holds true for any country which mother tongue is not English.
