「The white men speak bad of Indian and look at him spitefully. But the Indian does not tell lies. Indian do not steal. 白人はインディアンの悪口を言い、偏見の目で見る。しかしインディアンは嘘をつかない。インディアンは盗まない」 (出典:Howard Zinn "A People's History of the United States" p129)
they were called indian, so they called themselves indian? Actually white people decieved indians and killed many. I can't laugh. anglo americans were cleverer than so-called whites in south america. spanish were brutal, but anglo americans were more brutal in a sense.
>>10 That goes for any conquesting country, really. The Spanish conquest of South America ended up being a massacre after they found so much gold (so much that it was worthless to the natives anyway) there. Settlers in North America drove natives off their land by force, took it for their own, and then put restrictions on the tribes they did not kill. In both cases, it was the Europeans who introduced (unintentionally) sickness which was devastating to the natives, as they had not encountered such diseases before.
However, some of the same brutality could be said for the invasions of Korea in 1592 to 1598, with such brutality being done by the Koreans (taking advantage of chaos to raid each other), Japanese and the Chinese. I'm sure the Mongols would have also been brutal had their invasions in 1274 and 1281 been successful.
>>18 What made you frequent this thread again after long absense, or you just seemed to be absent but in reality you were lurking somewhere in this thread?
I think anglo-americans were clever because they expelled natives by seemingly legitimate ways. other than brutality and cleverness, perhaps their guilt feeling had something to do with this...
As for racial consiousness, anglo americans have much more pride in themselvs, which mean despised non whites. Some conscientious settelers like thomas jefferson saw non whites with pity feelings. But it is the case with superior feelings too. spanish slayed many non whites , but mixed with them very well. I don't know which is better LOL
>>21 I wasn't lurking, hence the gap in my thread archive. =( So I repeat my request for an offsite archive of this thread: Does anyone know where I offsite can find the past few parts of this thread?
And I frequent again because I like this place + I'm reorganizing my room anyway, I might as well have my browser parked here while I do that.
>>35 How someone answers them isn't relevant for me until after they've actually done so. I don't waste time wondering about that. Plus the automatic page refresher makes it easy to see when someone has said anything, without having to touch the computer.
>>10 Um, that book was written in the 1920s. Things here are different here now. Native Americans are the people who inhabited the Americas before the Europeans came, and Indians are people from India. Here, anyone who uses "Indian" to refer to Native Americans is considered a an insensitive jerk.
>>16 You may already know this, but North Dakota is a state. Famous for... Well, nothing springs to mind, but it is claimed to be the safest state in the US. Perhaps this is because the estimated population is around 636,000 (density of 9 people per square mile).
>>42 Well, you could say stupid or ignorant if you were implying that the person didn't know any better. I used insensitive to imply that the person does know better, but goes ahead and uses the wrong word anyways. Because they don't care about other peoples' feelings. "Insensitive jerk" is a very useful phrase. Applies to all kinds of situations.
>>45 I don't think I said that but you are right, it is over 90% white. I seriously don't understand the Hitler/Nazi fascination here... What is the appeal of a sociopathic murderer???? Never mind; don't answer that.
>>47 Eh, I was insinuating that they who know better yet do it anyway are demonstrating that they don't really understand. That they don't truly grasp the whole situation. Knowing something isn't necessarily the same as genuinely comprehending that something.
>>51 Because he had moustache or Toothbrush moustache, which made him look like a perfect gay. He would make a perfect Village People!! Don't dicriminate against sociopath faggots! Hitler disliked faggots because he was a gay!!!

>>69 It's a bit more than a quarter past 9 pm CET right now. I need to go back to going to bed at ten or eleven p.m., but lately I've been going to bed at midnight or an hour or so past midnight.
sorry! mizuno haruo! His film "siberian express" is legendary here. I learned how War was wrong. I've never seen a movie as anti-war as this one. The story was very multilayered and The endings! were mind-boggling. Why endings not ending? You would be fooled again and again by a genius film maker.
>>72 Only sometimes. Anyone can edit it, after all. >>73 Because Google is getting even more gargantuan, harvesting information from millions and millions of users. All the info they have can easily get abused, if not by them then the courts/governments that hold any power over them.
I have seen 地獄の盆踊りOrgy of the Dead. The Japanese title is good too. It's very hard for non-japanese to understand the nuance though. What ED makes a genius is that he was for real. Nobody could make films like ED's purposely. Mizuno has a drop of talent of ED's.
Do you know many japanese associate(d) Sweden with free sex contry?
I don't know the real meaning. But many japanese think freesex as somewhat lewd, obscene thing. They expect swedish people can have sex with total strangers easily. So can they in sweden!
>>83 You might also enjoy "Pink Flamingo" by Jon Waters. Or the Rocky Horror Picture Show, if you haven't already seen it. But if it is incompetence you enjoy, try "Monster-a-go-go". I haven't seen it myself, but it sounds truly putrid.
Do you guys google your past school mates' names as often as I do? I've recently learned that the girl I worshiped in my grade school years, works for the Prefectural Police as a pharmacist, researching you know, pharmaceutical stuff. Should I start doing cocaine to see her again? And I hope your friend's name isn't like John Smith, though.
>>94 Put on Daler Mehndi - "Tunak Tunak Tun" instead? That should either embarrass them to hell, or terribly confuse them. Apparently the Draenei in World of Warcraft have his dance as theirs. Crazy. x-D
>>101 Those movies where something romantic or dramatic happens, and then 100 random Indian people leap in from the sides and everyone starts to sing and dance? We get a lot of those on TV over here.
Which abba song are you refering to? I don't think 'dancing queen' is insuniating sexual things. Many japanese must think so. I don't know the japanese reaction to the song at the time though.
anyway, Speaking of free sex, the word of sweden came along here.. In reality, Holland might be close to the "free sex" throgh japanese filter.
>>120 About a decade ago, there was an indian movie boom in japan. mutto dancing maharaja? not like an artificial boom of these days , it was a grass root boom.
>>105 Ah, Mutho. That's still quite an obscure one here. I think its biggest audiences were actually from Japan too! We have quite a large Indian and Pakistani population here, so to get a little extra ratings, TV stations play these sorts of movies every few nights, but quite early in the morning.
Aren't they funny? Japanese watch them as a kind of comedy. Not only that, of courese.
We quickly fotgot as well. It was a grass root boom. So Main stream media didn't try to hold up the boom. Only a short period of boom. a couple of years or less.
We've got tired of the new stars over japan sea. They start to be unable to catch japanese attentions by themselves. So Media even try to push them into japanese drama or movie in the form of theme song singer or transient role. very strange phenomenon.
The other day, A man ,who is notoriously known for burning japanese flag among few japanese (mainstream media don't cover the news at all), was getting an interview before live-action version drama of chibimaruko started. He has nothing to do with chibimaruko or chibimaruko drama..
He or anorther man did concert in nihonbudokan. Nihonbudokan is always hanging japanese flag from the ceiling. In his homepage, hinomaru- japanese flag vanished. LOL . TV never reported this news.
They are smiling to japanse, but inside not. Every foreigh star may be so. But their acts are too blatant and double sided..pretty obvious. We won't allow them if they were Mongol. LOL
>>110-111 Not actually. Japanese media try to make japanese love some "foreign media figures", some of who is speaking bad openly about japanese in their homeland. And Japanese media tuns a blind eye. In their homeland ,despising japanse, in japan,flashing a warm smile to japanese. strange....
I don't think Schwarzenegger is a good person. He was a racist. But He is a good businessman. Even if he speaks bad about japanese, I guess he is doing within small circle.
I haven't heard much anti-Japan sentiment from many North American stars myself... But maybe I'm just ignorant? And Schwarzenegger is an ass to everybody. He's a womanizer and just plain mean. But in public he's nice and friendly. What a two-faced bastard.
>>116 I'm talking about a specific country, not north america. I suppose that first of all, many north american stars don't have much interests in japan, regardless of good or bad sentiment? Their interests are mainly in Europe. I suppose.
>>119 It really depends on the actor. But you're right, they're more interested in becoming popular here (Well, interested in the USA and Europe. I'm Canadian... We only have about twenty popular actors, lol). So what actors or countries are you talking about? Can you give some examples? And please forgive me for my ignorance.
>>122 Many japanese students looked troubled and were awkwardly saying that they had little interest in korean stars. It is not proportionate with korean stars excessive media exposure, even though main fans are elderly.
Super man from Germany wears nazi uniform. LOL On top of that, He is justice superman.... His fahter was evil, but his son changed his mind, still wearing nazi uniform.. http://www.hiratasoko.co.jp/DVC00052.JPG he is brocken man or brokken jr.
Could canada broadcast brocken man episode? I don't know original anime though. superman,,,, nazi ,,,,,Nietzsche? wow! I'm genius. just kidding.
Japan is much more open to that sort of thing, right?
In North America and Europe, politicians try to hide these things from children. They seem to think that children are too stupid to realize that it is fiction.
Yes. But i'm not sure these characters would be passed by publisher now. may be not. We can publish and broadcast past things though. Unfortunately nazi image is too strong. I think The authors simply choosed nazi as a representative of germany. And They fit very well with evil but cool villain.
Gundam also borrowed the image of nazi. Zeon is totalitarian nation. They shout the word "sieg Zeon" But Oddly, their name is close to zion. I don't know it's coincidence or not though. In holly wood movies or american comics, many villains must have been from inspiration of nazi image?
I think Japanese cartoonists never thought about that complicated historical matter. usually Japanese Comics are written for Japanese children readers.
Canada is pretty relaxed about some things, but it has a pretty strange attitude about others. For example, the CG animated series "Beast Wars", which was a branch-off from the Transformers, was aired in Canada the same as it was in the US, with no edits to scenes. However, the name had to be changed from "Beast Wars" to "Beasties", because the Canadian government wouldn't allow any children's TV show to have the word "war" in the title. :P
>>142 Gundam Seed was edited in the US? I always just assumed we ported the Cartoon Network version straight into Canada. Pleased to see we didn't cut it apart too badly, then.
If it's ok to include imaginary characters, I'd say Terrence and Phillip from South Park. This I say because I just watched the movie version of South Park, in which they are very funny. If you haven't seen it, you should.
>>175 I was shocked to know his low recognition. He was dead. He hang himself after killing his wife and son. Even the shocking news did't reach your ears? The News itself has value ,excluding he was a star.
>>166 Dan Akroyd, John Candy, Michael J Fox, Jim Carrey, Brendan Fraser, Mike Myers, Leslie Nielsen, Matthew Perry, Keanu Reeves (okay, nevermind, you said notable actors...), William Shatner Donald & keifer Sutherland... Neve Campbell, Carrie-Anne Moss, Jennifer Tilly...
What's the difference between Canadians and Americans anyway? We knwo Quebec is French, but otherwise, we don't see any clear differnce in terms of people in the 2 countries.
>>198 There's not many clear differences between Canadians and Americans, but telling a Canadian he's the same as an American is like telling a Japanese person he's the same as a Korean person. Not a good idea, usually.
>>203 I understand, but it's kind of sad, isn't it that Canadians don't have any 'cultural' identity that can represent them? Unfortunately, all they can be proud of is "how big their country is, in terms of area", but then, they are number 2 in the world and half of it is ice.......
>>207 I suppose you might consider it unfortunate. I'm Canadian by my passport, but I don't use my country for my identity. A country is a piece of dirt, a flag is a piece of cloth. What you do, how you live, and what you think are all much more important than your "national identity".
It's a Global fucking Village, baby. If Nuclear World War 3 doesn't wipe us all out in the next five years, I look forward to the eventual degradation of national borders, and the creation of a world government.
>>214 o_O;;; Angelina looks good. And never call anyone aryan, it's highly insulting. Nor am I blond and blue-eyed, my eye-color and my hair-color are both brown.
>>228 So you think that if only there were no Muslims, everyone would live in peace and harmony throughout the world? I don't buy it... There are around 2 million American citizens who are practicing Muslims, and we manage to live together peacefully in this country. For the most part. Nothing is perfect here of course. Jeez, we even manage to coexist peacefully with our great Northern neighbor.
> and we manage to live together peacefully in this country. Used to, you mean? I've heard things have turned pretty shitty for the American muslims since 9/11. Getting a lot of racist behavior thrown at them etc.
I love reading arguments over religion or God's existence on the internet. Living in Japan, I don't get to have that kind of experience in real life, really. Japanese people aren't religious at all. Religion rarely make news in Japan. Politicians don't speak religion. It's very refreshing to know that there are whole lot of people out there not like us, you know.
>>270 Hahahaha. >>271 I love you... Have you read The turner's diaries? I want you to stay in this thread as long as possible. You are the diamond in this thread full of hypocrites.
You are not far-right. Rather you are anarchist, far-left. ? But Mr Timothy McVeigh was inspired by the far-right novel. You belive in the power of Christanity. So you are not communist.
Anyway, You are anti federal government. keep up the good work!

I'm a working class man, and proud of it. But the thing is, that I don't work. Proud of it. Why do I have to say it twice? And I don't even care about Norman Tebbit's dad.
>>286 Yeah, Norman Tebbit's dad. The actual quote is, "He got on his bike and looked for work, and he went on looking until he found it." I've always wondered whether this "bike" was a bicycle or a motor cycle. Probably a bicycle, but a scooter would fit well in the gloomy 30's picture too.
>>301 Exactly, had to pay for my education somehow. Worked for a while as a bank clerk, then over the summer in a supermarket (a couple years ago) and ended up doing a supervisory job at a business outsourcing organisation. It's been good experience, I guess, even though most of the jobs were not fun or interesting at all.
>>303 Good video! I've learned some more phrases from it. lol The guy seems only needs to call the parrot "good bird", instead of feeding it as reward, and then the parrot will just play all the tricks nicely.

>>308 I personally think kyoro's pitcher is cute. He looks like a girl.
Facial expression of kousien baseball players are usually static. They are made to keep quiet and not to complain about the umpire's call. Asahi newspaper and kouyaren think it ideal.
So I can't forget the pitcher's face when the umpire called an obvious strike a ball, which follows a base-loded walk. He didn't lodge a protest against the judment. But He was flabbergasted and his face was obviously saying the umpire was wrong.
He got panicked and gave the next batter a homerun with the fullbases loaded.
Have you ever experienced the utmost humiliation in front of many peple? you want to scream like this; Mo Iya Mo iya Mo iya Mo yamete Mo yamete Mo yamete 100 times? I have experienced it more than 10 times last two years. I guess from 2005 to 2007 is the worst year for myself.
>>318 I'm really bad with names. Once I bumped into a girl I knew at school; I knew her for a whole semester. I completely confused her name with some other girl's. I guess I never really bothered to learn her name the first time. >< I had to backtrack and apologize. ;;

>>316 yeah i agree with u. >>317 no I dont. >>319 omb My type is baby face. and Sasaki kensuke is too old ,
>>321 I don't want to remember about it. But if you want to know, I just give you some example. Such as if you were trapped and imagine you have reacted like a typical dumb as simple as a sample of a mouse of a laboratory of some study...and from next day you will be a monster or a clown or some kind of animal that is playing for a freak show of the show tent, or one day you wake up and everything around you were different from what you were believing previously and from the next day someone will tell you you that you are lower than a poop. say things that to humiliate you over and over... but hahaha those are all the trap so you just don't have to believe the illusion. Nobody really cares. But it stays in your mind for a long time. It really sucks. it is the worst thing happened in your life. it is worse than your most expensive thing in your house is stolen but you cannot report to the police. coz the thing you lost is something in yourself, is called "dignity" There is no way to compensate the digninity from you. But that's up to you how you sort it out in yourself. it's like a "rape". If you won't tell anybody, nobody knows. but it stays in your mind forever...even if you'd try to forget it, it is really hard to forget. the humiliation is really hard to forget. please advise me how to sort it out. I have too much pain.
>>324 That's really unfortunate... I'm not the guy who asked, but I'll give you my advice anyway. You should probably get professional help, like a therapist. As you said, if you don't tell anybody, nobody will know. So I think you should tell somebody and get some real help, and maybe you can forget what happened and move on. It's not good to keep things bottled up inside of you, believe me, I know.
>>324 I guess you are a kind of person who tends to be a target of teasing, bullying, whatever you call it.
I think self-confidence is the key to get over the humiliation you experienced in the past. You must have a tough time and it might not be easy to forget all about it, but don't let your dark history get to you.
Building up self-confidence and becoming happy is one of revenges against people who teased you. You can do it.
Thanks. I have so many things to worry about. So actually I am too busy that I have no time to worry about the matter. I need to build up a self confidence. I need kind people around me. thanks a lot.
I was ordered to talk instantly about my reading experience in arbitrary class. I just got nervous and mumbling to the listners. The more I tried to be friendly, the more I god weird. I blushed. I was kind of speaking to myself. My voice was too small and listners including teacher couln't make out what I was saying. The teacher said 'i can't hear you' with perplexed countanence. I got relieved from the hell. Nobody seemed to care as much as me. But it even made me fell ashamed.
>>327 Yeah, don't waste your life. There are tons of kind people in this world that treat you good. You are Japanese and have a great English skill and a good brain and mind too. Don't hang out with the guys who look down on you! cheer up! good luck!
>>328 Why don't you do a pert-time job at a gas station or something. speaking out loud, いらっしゃいませ! オーライ! オーライ! ありがとうございました! can help. lol I know you are not the kind of person who choose such kind of a job, though.
Born in Gunma Prefecture on December 15, 1966[1], Mukai's nickname stems from the resemblance of his dark brown scrotum to Chocoball candy.
uha! I didn't know that. I just thought his brown skin colour was the reason. Hmm,indeed, the shape of chocoball is similar to the one of scrotum. But I prefer my assumption... mukai is musculer and yet rounded. His brown and rounded body match the word of chocoball.
As far as I know he wanted to be a pro wrestler. That's why he has great build. After becoming famouse in adult video actor, he made appearance in pro wrestling but not a serious one.
イギリス人、if you mentioned this adult video actor, while talking with a Japanese man, I bet you would be really amazed. And mental barrier with the Japanese would be melt down in a minuite. Real ice breaker.
But If you talk about him while talking with a girl, she would give you blank facial expression. Chance is are she doesn't know of him. If she did, she would pretend not to. lol. Seriousely he is an adult video actor most seen in 90's if I'm right, so even a young man in his twenties might not herad of him.
I think you deserved to live happy. When you encounter somebody who wants to hurt you, just don't go them anymore. try to be friends only with somebody who make you happy!!!
>>331 I can speak set words. I have once done shopclerk in departmentstore. But I can hardly speak about my opinion or experience impromptu before many audidences. think about open debate or speech .
>>338 I don't know much about UK porn. But badly enough, some British porn models started to have sillicon boobs ,didn't they? another bad influence of america!! They are total turn off to me. Why americans love girls like Pamela Anderson? They are monsters!!
>>341 Japanese adult video actresses have silicon boobs, too. I guess it's just that you haven't recognized. I'm a pro adult website watcher and I can tell which boobs are fake.
Japanese adult video actressese don't insert silicon to make them look like water melon, but too good-shape boobs are fake most of the time.
Bu-shi-do, formely known as busyomono, used the word busyomono presuming there was a word 武将者. But actually busyomono不精者 means the lazy or sluggard. LOL
>>348 I'm not saying there is no silicon porn actress in japan. Just a matter of degree. the numbers and the size.
Iijima Ai is silicon and we can easily find out. Sorai Sora? and Handa sasa are little strange too. >too good-shape boobs are fake most of the time. I don't agree on that point.
>>352 It's not easy to become a pro. You have to wade through frauds, tricks and illegal charges which adult websites lay down. After all, to find a good food for masterbation, you have to be adventurous. That's what a pro adult website watcher is all about!
>>357 Also your way of masterbation? How can you fuck AV actress as real as real sex? Watching screen up close and lick screen or using dutch doll or rubbing your dick on the sheet instead of rubbing cock with your hand or closing your eyes.... many your ways I just imagined.
>>338 Um... thanks, I'll try to remember that! In the UK, it's really uncommon to talk about such things and is kept mostly personal. I guess the British (not really the lower class) still are quite prudent. Talking about the weather is still the most common way to start a conversation with a stranger.
>>343 Oh no, Jordan! There was a time when she was very widely talked about, around the time she was on a survival TV gameshow. However, her books are still somewhat popular. Not my taste at all, though. My interest is in someone from Eastern Europe right now. Also, silicon for that purpose is disgusting :<
But being called jew must be comfortable and advantageous in entertainment industry, especially in USA and UK. For example, Bono, famous millionare, voluntarily allude jewish bloodline without any evidence.
Can you read japanese? From nikkei newspaper ▼引き裂かれた世界への憂いの根は出身地のダブリンにある。アイルランド は宗教対立で荒れる国だった。父親はカトリック、母親はプロテスタント。 母方がユダヤ系だった可能性も本人が示唆している。800万(やおよろず)の 神が共存し、神仏習合を素直に受け入れる日本の土壌は“争いの地”の人に 「美しく」映ったのだろう。
>母方がユダヤ系だった可能性も本人が示唆している。 My awkward translation is this: Bono suggests jewish blood line from maternal side.
Bono's mother was a protestant. So her ancestor may have come from England. England has much more jewish population than Ireland. So her ancestor might be jewish.
Maybe Bono's guesswork like that?
The information is from japanese newspaper. We should wait until finding out primary information source.
>>386 Yes and here is the order of formalness (More formal->less formal): 私(uni-sex, read as Watakushi)->私(uni sex, read as Watashi)->僕(man only) ->俺(man only)
"always felt that [she] looked flat-chested when [she] stood next to other girls on the glamour circuit".
Is this English just colloquial? Or does it suggest her low education carrer?
>The Sun, which had recently decided on a "natural beauty" policy, requiring all its models to be "silicone-free".
I learned England is special all the same and different from USA.
>In the end, Jordan won 713 votes[4], 1.8% of the votes cast.
Does it show english mature attitudes to politics or square minds that don't understand joke or jordan(冗談). Jordan only got votes no more than neonazi? British National Party(keeping away from apparent nazi stuffs) is getting along better?
>>376 Hmm... even though she's not popular here (in 2ch at least) at all, I still like Hirosue Ryoko. I also like Okina Megumi, from Akakage and Ju-on.
Okay, she's not an actress, but I find it interesting that Kamiki Aya looks up to Avril Lavigne so much even though Aya seems (to me) more talented. She is also very attractive.
>>378, >>379 Argh... can't stand the Cheeky Girls, and as for the other one, well, I haven't really seen much of a personality in her. Guess I mean the specific person I'm interested in right now just happens to be Eastern European.
>>390 It's just really colloquial. It's saying how she felt like her breasts were too small in comparison to other models in her career, which is why she chose artificial enlargement. The voting figures are just for that one town; she came in fourth place, after Labour, Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. The BNP, however, somehow managed to get a hold in one or two towns.
And just on the Jewish topic, Jews aren't really treated any differently here to other people. Bono might claim it, but it has no effect whatsoever on his popularity in the UK.
>>393 I do? I don't really like the idea of looking up skirts using mirrors though... As for subjects of conversation, there often is a lot that we just don't talk about to most people. Mainly sexual habits.
>>394 That doesn't really matter much to me. I'm not really an idol-worshipper. Can't really think of any actresses actually *trying* to sell an image of purity either.
>>396 Sorry. I Used the word "subjects",Subject of subject, Verb, Object, SVC.
"always felt that [she] looked flat-chested when [she] stood next to other girls on the glamour circuit".
Look. [she] or [I] in direct speech was omitted in this sentence.
>>396 Uekusa is a big fan of hirosue. His favorite song is maji de koisuru gobyoumae. It is his old standby in karaoke. He loves checkered high school skirt, hirosue wore in her highschooldays.
>>400 Ohhh, I see! Had no idea about any connection between Uekusa and Hirosue. I haven't really heard any of her songs though.
In the context of the article, the word is in [] because it is just changed from the original word, which I assume would be "I". No words would actually be omitted from there.
Is this some kind of disease? or a serious 虚言癖(mendacity)? This guy is a genuinely insane. He loves to say derogatory remarks on one disabled person.(B) Even B is irresistible, the guy persistently say bad things about B and attack him over and over. But strange thing is that he says sweet talks to B too and in public he says bad things about B.
One more strange thing is that the guy wants to invite B to his circle so bad, and when B comes to the circle, contrarily to what he'd said, he starts to put B to open shame often and after he got tired of the play, he moves out the circle and go to the new circle C and never invites B to the new circle C. But he persistetly invites B to his circle A.
He puts too much energy on this matter inverse proportion to what he actually does towards B. If he only wants to kill the time, he shouldn't put this amount of energy for this sick activity.
But when I went to the handycap's web site, I've learned from the posts that there are so many unbelivably bad people in this world that love to tease disabled just for fun. it's much worse than just a sadistic activities. Is there any way to protect my brother(B) from the bad people?
>>417 I'm sure you have tried various tactics, but none of them worked so far?
Ignore is the best but the guy seems to be so persistent. ahhh...I want to kill the guy who comes to your bro...Although your bro was born with lesser god, and you must be so tired to take care of him like a rag, the guy even quench your bro's least power!!!! I think your bro and you deserve a better life. Sleep well my dear. You should live more peacefully...I pray for you not to get any more attack from the guy...
>>417 Is this guy really exist? then why don't you report to the police? But you need to gather all the nasty evidence that the guy has done to your brother. Good luck.
Do you know right now The World Championships in Athletics is being held in Osaka, Japan? Yuji Oda is the MC of the TV coverage of it in Japan. And he also lip-synched the theme song at the end of the opening ceremony..
I just watched the documentary movie "Jesus Camp" It is about how fundamentalist Christians in America brainwash their children. It was scary. That 25 percent of Americans are like them is very scary. They literally treat George W Bush as a saint and brainwash their chldren to believe so.
>>429 I remember reading about that World Championship in passing, a day or three ago. That sounds interesting, is there anywhere online that I could see that?
Acturally threre is a p2p online TV program with which you can watch a lot of Japanese TV in real time. It's called KeyHoleTV. Unfortunately to use it, you have to understand Japanese.
if you'd react, I would believe you are a an aho too I am only talking to a real aho in front of the computer."retard" is often used in Canada, not a popular word worldwide, so you must be a Canadian.
http://www.teambath.com/wp-content/uploads/Craig%20Pickering.jpg Does this british man, Craig Pickering have negro blood? Cos he has a little frizzy hair like negro. And It's hardly possible that effeminate faggy whites can ran fast. I am against doping. Stop race doping! Superior negro blood was injected into this weeny seemingly white guy.
I may be paranoid or something, but I get this chilling feeling that Spaghetti Carbonara and sugar-coated old-fashioned doughnuts are conspiring to kill me. I wouldn't want to think that Haagen-dazs strawberry flavor ice cream is in it too, though.
Have you had a circumcision operation at the same time? You have not taken a bath for a few days... You are dirty. You should have a circumcision in the season except summer.
You have three penises? What kind of deformity is that! Do they react the same way, or they each have individual personality?? What the other two are doing when one of them is going in and out?
My favorite films are "The Big Lebowski", "Wonder Boys", and "Adaptation". Jake Gyllenhaal, I saw him in "the day after tomorrow". He looked a lot like Spiderman. I rather like his sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal. "Secretary" was pretty fascinating. She appears in "Adaptation" too. And speaking of Spiderman, I love Kirsten Dunst. "Bring It On"(Cheers! in Japan) and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", she was great in it both.
I'm SO not looking forward to it. American versions usually suck. And plus the Americans think that they originally came up with the idea. No one at my school ever even HEARD of Ju-On, but love The Grude.
507 here. I too am American and still find our movies are going down hill. Seriously, Underdog? A Gears of War movie? A Halo movie? Voltron Movie? o__o Originality in America has died, and these movies hurt my soul. Disney is even making a Prince of Persia movie. >__>
Prince of Persia??? Really! Ugh! I'm a cartoonist, and they have damaged my soul, when they stop doing traditional cel animation. And yeah, if Underdog does any business in the theater, I think I will shoot myself. Yeah, our movies have gone bad. And people around me, wonder why I keep watching Asian films. I will not say that they are all great, but it is a nice fresh change for me personally.
Hello everyone! I had an exciting weekend. I almost got hit by lightning.
I went to visit my younger brother. He has a house on top of a mountain, and there was a big lightning storm while I was there. Lightning came into the house through the electrical system, and exploded a lamp. It made a big popping sound, and there was a red fireball. It looked like a firecracker exploding. I had been standing at the window next to the lamp just before it hit.
>>517 Sounds like you were too close to the heaven!!
>>507 Don't talk like that. You Americans do not claim to be the inventor of what is not your invention, like kanji, soccer, golf, traditional Chinese medicine, samurai swords, kendo, aikido and other martial arts etc, right?
By the way, I am having difficulty in finding the right pronunciation of various technical terms in medicine. Usually they do not appear in ordinary dictionaries. Do you have any in your mind?
>>519 Pronounciation of medical terms in English? That's difficult, even for native speakers. I don't know if this site would be useful (since I don't read Japanese well at all): http://www.medo.jp/0.htm
>>522 Yeah generally. About 30% of all words in English are from Latin. Nearly all the technical terms used in any science outside of IT are from Latin or Greek. They where the languages of science across Europe for hundreds of years ;).
>>521 Sorry for overlooking your posting. From the link you gave me, I found a good one. It turned out to be the web-based Merriam Webster Dictionary!!
Uho! I made a mistake. Not 400, 300 was correct. Why are persians in the movie of "300" black people??? Persians are indo-european and were not much differnt from Greek at that time. Greek were not as white as some white superamacist idealize. And average white americans are acting the role of greek, which had distinctive looks of relatively dark hair and skin and frizzy hair. What a different treatment!!!!
Stop racism and bigotory! Greek had nothing to do with Europe. Cos Europe never existed at that time and Greek interest was mainly in themselves and developed nation around them, for example, Perusia. Greek never paid attention to barbaric white tribes men in german or british or whatever area.
>>539 It was told from the perspective of a Greek soldier, so of course he made them seem noble. And who cares how they looked? That's how most people think of Greeks and Iranians/Perusians, so they used that image.
Calm down and stop thinking about that stupid shit. Just enjoy the movie.
Iranians doesn't(didn't) look like black people. LOL What's the image? If you americans? think that iranians are(were) similar to black, You are too ignorant and racist.
>>542 "Iran" means "Aryan" in Farsi(Persian) language. They are proud of their being the DIRECT descendants of the ancient Aryans which, you might know, Hitler and his people claimed to be.
http://www.lapasa.net/images/031907_xerxes.jpg Some chages were made for the fear of criticizm? LOL Original one is apparently black. The person who played the role of Xerxes I is not black. But he painted his face to make him more black.
Why iranian king, black man, even gay looking? Gay which christian fundamentalist and muslim hate most!
The movie was laughable, I mean, I laughed a lot watching the show in the theatre. I remember I saw a movie made in 1950s about an Iranian(or Persian) king surrounded by beautiful half naked women who were played by Caucasian actresses. How come the image of Iranian people has changed so much since 1950s.
I didn't watch the movie either, I read the wretched reviews, saw the trailers, and didn't need any more convincing that my $10 would be better spent elsewhere.
What I was impressed by in the movie is the ending scroll. That reminded me of the opening of Ultraman in 1960s. Moving black shadows on the red/yellow background.
http://faculty.maxwell.syr.edu/gaddis/HST210/Oct16/Alexmosaic%20big.jpg Alexsander hair in this mosaic is not blond. I didn't know that. I have a memory of seeing alexsander's blonde hair in that mosiac. Is it My illusion or touch-up added version? I don't know there is any document which depicts alexander hair colour though.
As long as mozaic is concerned, I think Silver Stallone would rather match the face. Not Colin Farrell who bothered to make his hair blonde. LOL
blond hair is really specific to Northern Europeans. It's a Scandinavian mutation that probably developed recently within the last 10,000 years. With the exception of the Red hairs that developed in Central-Western Europe around the same time, just about everyone else in the world has black or very dark-brown hair. So it annoys me when Hollywood depicts ancient mediterreaneans with blonde hair. Of course, they also depict their statues as all un-painted, as if all Roman nobles were too poor to afford painted statues!
However, I have heard a legend that said that Ramses II had red hair, and I believe his mummy confirms it. Now that's very odd for an Egyptian.
Lol, that's really silly. There are plenty of powerful ancient African civilizations for modern Africans to take pride in, like the Aksumite civilization of Ethiopia, or the Mali/Songhai Empire of the southern Sahara.
>>552 Red hair is caused by a mutation in the MC1R gene, so it could have potentially happened to anyone. Mummified redheads were excavated from Takla Makan in China, and Cameroon (in Africa) has a group of people called the Nguenguerous who are redheaded.
Also in pre-Rameses The Great Egypt, red hair was considered unlucky and so girls with red hair were burned alive in ceremony.
>>552 It's not true that blond hair is specific to Northern Europeans, although it is more common within that population. There are naturally occuring blonds among Australian aboriginal people, Iranians and other Mideastern populations too.
イギリス人さん, have you ever seen the television drama "Summer Snow"? You might enjoy it. It stars Hirosue Ryoko, and she is very cute in it.
>>572 Many (most) blonds darken with age, even those of European descent. The Scandinavians seem to keep their blond hair longer than most. Although I could be wrong about that. K-tan would know better.
>>571 I'm not 552. There is a theory that blonde hair was born from those area. The word "Specific" is exaggerated, But blonde hair is supposed to originate from these area by some scientists.
I read article about this theory from BBC or something on the net.
It is well known that not a few aboliginal people have blonde hair. It is very eyecatching because hair colour is opposite to their skin colour.
As for iranians or mideasterns, they are just one of caucasians. So It's natural that they have a chance to be light-haired or eyed than japanese or mongoloid. But not many blond or brown iranians, I think.
And even japanese are more light skined or haired in their childhood. Some japanese children have brown hair. What is more, Some japanese adults have relatively white skin and a little brown hair. It depend on individuals, not disease.
Japanese with blonde hair or blue red ?eyes are considered as disease. We call them 白子shirako(colloquial term). They lack melanin pigment and very vulnerable to sun light.
By japanese standard, You white people are all disease...??
Albino: someone who can't produce the melanin skin pigment. In humans, the eyes of an albino are blue, gray or even a tan color. It's a condition independent of race, and there are different recessive mutations which can lead to albinism, some of which cause other medical problems.
Peter Frost is the scientist who came up with the theory mentioned by >>552 and >>571. He was trying to come up with a reason why there is so much diversity in hair and eye colors in Northern Europeans relative to other populations. He argues that sexual selection favoring rare hair & eye color types is higher in Europe than elsewhere in the world. I'm not a population geneticist myself, but I don't really buy his evidence. He cites a current study showing American men slightly prefer rarer hair colors (they preferred brunette hair when there was one brunette choice and lots of blond choices). But to extrapolate that finding to explain what happened thousands of years ago is a stretch.
White people aren't albinos. They have melanin in their hair and eyes, and some in their skin to varying degrees, Northern Europeans just tend not to have as much as those in other regions, like in the south or east.
>>580 I just thought blonde hair was prefered just because of their beatuy. Mr.Peter Frost speculation is not like this. I don't know whether his idea is a safety valve to avoid being called racist.
I bet he expected blonde hair would be prefered in the poll. But actually not. So he changed rationale. LOL. whatever he can say.
It's true that Sweden is one of the blodest contry. But at the same time Sweden is the country with the highest percentage of dyed or bleached blond hair.
If the rare is prefered, How do Mr.Frost explain away this phenomenon?
Yeah, I never understood the sexual selection theorey either. It seems that people wouldn't have the luxury of choice when it comes to mating. Today, we don't really. We mate with whom we can, but everybody who's willing to mate usually manages to find someone. The people who go through life without mating usually do so by choice, or physical inability. If sexual selection were the main factor, then I think people all around the world would have wildly distinctive and attractive hair colors, like green and purple. When you consider how quickly aesthetics for beauty change, just look at the way fashion has changed over the last fifty years, the theory just sounds ridiculous. I think it must have more to do with environmental factors, and freak mutations that are propagated in isolated communities, or something else, what do I know?
I'm not for Mr.Frost. But he think population ratio between men and woemn became pretty unproportionate. He considers that men went hunting and many died. So men had more chance to select women than modern men.
>>585 That still sounds silly when you consider all the women who would die of childbirth. Some church records from the middle ages show that it was common for men to marry multiple times, as many women would die after two or three children. Of course, these were exploited farming people who may not have been as healthy as hunter-gatherers. There's evidence that agricultural life was actually considerably harder on the human body than tribal hunter-gatherer life. Although it depends on how rich the land is in both cases, I guess. Besides, ancient man was a clever hunter and forager, Frost doesn't seem to give them credit! I don't think so many men would die in hunting accidents. Besides, polygamy was common in history, if there was a shortage of men, I think polygamy would be a very important aspect of that particular culture.
Sexual cultures evolve to fit the needs of the community. Societal restrictions on pre-marital sex and waiting for one's parents to die before marrying (common in the middle ages) have a lot to do with the fact that it would be impossible for that family to feed children otherwise. Excess children would starve to death.
Did you know that chimpanzees, our closest living animal relatives, have bones in their penises? It's true! So why don't we?
According to Richard Dawkins (in The Selfish Gene), it may be sexual selection at work. Because men who don't have the necessary hydraulic pressure to maintain erections may also suffer from poor health (diabetes, blood pressure problems etc.). And so they wouldn't be chosen by females.
On the other hand, it could just be good old natural selection. Because men who can't have erections wouldn't be as biologically fit, if you know what I mean.
Of course, now we have Viagra, so that particular, uh, evolutionary pressure has been removed.
But.. do I support him? No. I'd say I want the best for our troops, but that is as far as I go. They should come home and be with their families. Hopefully, it will all turn around soon, when we elect a new president.
>>588 Does its size matter to you? Of course we are not animals so sex is not all about phisical attraction. But still in a way human is the most advanced animal and penis size matters to give a woman good intercourse.
>>588 Richard Dawkins was pretty sensational back then but is no longer considered as notable since he put too much emphasis on biologogical aspects and extended it to social issues. After all, it could just lead to another type of eugenics based on biological determinism, which appears reasonable enough to explain existing phenomena but actually is just an unfalsifiable assumption unless they could decode all the DNA information and associate it to our behaviors.
september... september is when western peoples school starts right? september is usually still hot.... it is not suited for a beggening of new life... it soon becomes autumn and then winter... only after 2 months from the start? its very wierd, that theier school starts from september... very weird
I am glad to see that the discussion on blond hair is still going on. I have one thing pretty interesting to talk about. Recent geneological reseach based on mitochondrial DNA revealed that the Australian aborigines and Europeans are geneologically related because both people share the same haplogroup N. Mitochondrial haplotypes are roughly categorized into 30 haplogroups. The oldest group is L1 which is owned by people exclusively in Africa, particularly !Kuns and Sans. L2 is the second oldest, typically found among people in west Africa. L3 is common among people in East Africa. These three groups are scarcely owned by the people outside of Africa. Almost all people outside of Africa are descendants of L3 which split into M and N as soon as they arrived at Arabian Paeninsula. Haplogroup M is pretty common among South Asians and East Asians, while N is common among Australian aborigines and some Melanesians. Europeans in general have one of seven dominant haplogroups H,J,K,T,U,V, and X, all of which are daughter groups of N. The original people of haplogroup N seem to have emerged at least 70 thousand years ago considering the mutation rates within haplogroup N and its daughter groups. As is discussed, quite a few Australian aborigines have blond hair. I think we are allowed to conclude that blond hair emerged 70 thousand years ago in Arabian Paeninsula, and the feature has been preserved both by Europeans and Australian aborigines.
>>613 School/Uni starts in mid February in Australia ;) We have our summer holidays over Christmas and New Years which is a very good time to have them because it's too hot to go to school in January. Not sure I understand why you think starting in September in the Norther Hemisphere is strange though. I would think that summer is the best time to go on holidays because nobody wants to have to sit in a hot class room all day! Right?
>>615 It's true that !Kuns think that East Asians are their relatives. However, they are most remote from other people in the world. In this respect, African blacks are relatively new. Until the end of the palaeolithic age, the people closely related to modern !Kuns had been dominant in sub-Saharan Africa. New African people emerged in west Africa. They were farmers from the very beginning.
>>615 The San are an African people. If you want to know more look up サン人 on wikipedia ;).
I think 614 made a mistake though, I'm pretty sure !Kun is just another a name for the San people. In fact I'm near certain the `!' symbol at the front of ``!Kun'' represents a click sound which, if I remember correctly, is now only used in the languages of the San people.
>>614 How is it determined that the incidence of blond hair in Aboriginal Australians doesn't have to do with interbreeding between European and Aboriginal people? After all there has been a great deal of mixing in most areas.
Clearly you have a much better understanding of genetics than me. But isn't there an alternate hypothesis that the rather distinctive features of Europeans have to do with inter-breeding with Neanderthals?
Good evening. Is 米人 there? I have just finished the day's job (surgery). Sounds too much? But this is everyday's affair in my workplace though the stupid administrators push us to go home exactly at 5 as if to say we should leave the patients with the skull open.
>>618 Click sounds are pretty common in !Kun language and other San related languages which even include some Bantu languages which have been presumably influenced by San language. Most of the language with click sounds were spoken by the people whose mDNA haplogroup is L1. There is one exception. That is Hadda people, very traditional hunter getherers in East Africa. Their haplogroup is L2. Click sounds are hardly ever found outside Africa. The only exception is a special language spoken by Sharman-like people among Australian Aborigines. The language is not commonly spoken in everyday life, but is used in a particular situation in hidden places like inside of caves.
why do so many people know this kuns and sans stuff so much? i don't think i ever heard anything abotu them in any class? or even if i did, how could i remember something like kuns and sans in africa when theres so many things i had to study and memorise... and now that i think about it, on internet forums, i often see foreign people discussing some obscure details about foreign history... why? why do they know that much stuff about foreign history. i don't even remeber who the prime minister before koizumi was? i think i'm retarded, help
>>619 Australian aborigines had been almost completely isolated from other people for over 50 thousand years. There must have been contact with Papuans at least until the end of the last ice age because Papua newguinea and Australia were connected due to the lower sea-level in the age. It is true that some Papuans have hair in light color. Australian aboriginals and Papuans were surrounded by people with haplogroup M, such as southeast Asians. People of haplogroup M together with its daughter groups A,B, have hardly ever had blond hair. There are some among Mongols who have once conquered Eurasia as a whole and must have mingled together with European peole and Iranians in the middle east. And one thing I should add is that there were a lot of blond people among Australian aborigines when Europeans first arrived at the continent.
>>619 Oh, I didn't quite read the last sentence. Neanderthals? That's interesting Idea. There are a lot of hypothesis about the origin of some genes which could have been introduced to modern humans by inter-breeding with Neanderthals. There is a gene which codes the sequence of a protein named microcepharine. The protein is associated with the brain size. It is weill-known that Neanderthals had much bigger brain than modern humans. And the particular gene is mostly found among population of Eurasia, but scarcely found among sub-saharan people. The genetic study revealed that the gene emerged about 40 thousand years ago. Yes, the date exactly points the age when modern humans got into Europe, and presumably came across Neanderthals. Regarding blond hair, however, as is discussed, quite a few Australian aborigines have blond hair although they have been in dry sunny land for at least 50 thousand years. Their skin colour is pretty dark. We should think that the development and evolution of blond hair could be quite separated from the evolution of pale skin which is the most striking feature of Europeans. Neanderthals might have had pale skin considering the enviroment in Europe and the time span they had spent there. However, we are not sure if they had blond hair. Even among north Europe, blond people have darker skin than others with darker hair at their standard. Blond people have more dark pigment in skin than people with brown or red hair.
Negroes have the biggest dicks! Suprisingly, nonhuman primates have smaller cocks. It all comes down to the fact that Black people are superior to other races. You whitey girs must be slave to blacks!!!!!
Y chromosome and mtDNA haplotype world distribution in a nice color chart. Doesn't seem to support >>614 assertion, unless that is very new data, not included in the graphs.
>>622 People who are interested in this stuff learn it on their own. Often by going to graduate school This site probably selects for foreigners who are interested in stuff outside their own country.
>>630 I am pretty familiar with the map you cite. See mtDNA distribution map and see which mtDNA haplogroup is dominant among Australian aborigines. Apparently N.. Then see the philogenetic tree on the next page. Dominant mtDNA haplogroups in European population are H,J,K,T,U,V,X. All these seven groups are separated from N. I seem to have made a mistake regarding group A, B which are actually separated from N. Anyhow, most of the southeast Asians have C,D,E,M which are from original M. I am not talking about Y-chromosome haplogroups.
>>587 I'm not sure whether I am understanding the last sentence fully.
As long as I understand, Japanese Scholar, Matsui Takanori is proposing opposite hypothesis. He claims that grandma(お婆ちゃん) made it possible for human to prosper. As Grandma took care of her grandchildren on behalf of her daugher, Mother(her daugher) could do agricultural practice or else to make society more affluent. Besides,Mother(grandma's daughter) could have more than one child. Without Grandma, Mother(grandma's daughter) would have been in constant child care to one child and could not have done another things. Exceptionally, human are one of the creatures who live beyond their reproductive years.
>>635 Menopose is quite a unique trait of human beings. No other animals, including apes, our close relatives don't have such incredibly unnatural like menopose. Being ready to be pregnant is a big burden for women. Menopose is very suitable for women to have longevity, though the evolutionary mechanism to realize menopose must have been pretty complex.
>>636 Sorry "No other animals, including apes, our close relatives don't have such..." should be "No other animals, including apes, our close relatives DO have such..."
>>631 Sorry to ignore >>599. But honestly, I don't have the data to speak to that.... I've always heard that penises are approximately the same size when erect. Maybe you know differently.
>>633 I see what you mean! You're right; I was mistaken. Pretty interesting; that would be the maternal lineage. Do you see the same result on the paternal side? It looks different to me; but I'm not great at interpreting these graphs.
>>638 Recent genetic research has been revealing big differences between paternal and maternal lineages. I have an impression that maternal lineages tend to stick with places, while paternal ones are pretty volatile, hmmm I don't come up with a good expression in English. Do you know that Genghiskhan's Y-chromosome pattern is found thoughout the region he and his descendants conquered, which is almost equivalent to Eurasia. Just a very strong prolific man getting into a continent with tame people could have drastically changed the paternal lineage of the people in that continent.
>>643 A goody-two-shoes? Well, I've been called worse.
>>646 Fascinating. I didn't know that about Genghis Khan. But wouldn't that then affect distribution of alleles of nuclear genes (like blond hair)? If you had that kind of population mixing?
>>640 Most of those particularly human traits are shared by chimps. One thing common among chimps but not in humans is baby sex. Just one-year-old chimp may try to fuck an adult female.
>>648 Yes, if just a single very prolific blond guy from Australia had got into Europe 10 thousand years ago, he could have changed the hair colour of entire European women within 500 years as long as the blond hair had been preferable together with his some particular feature like, say, strong build. I am not sure how many genes are involved in making of blond hair. If the makeup of the genes associated with blond hair of Europeans are completely different from aborigines, my hypothesis will collaps.
These guys are trying hard to steer the conversation away from the truth. Hitler knows the truth. It's simple enough! Aryan invasion!!!!!!!!! The German and Scandinavians have preserved aryan blood almost perfectly to original aryan knights!!!!!
Evidence is so much of a dirty Jewish concept, you pussy. Don't you just feel him in your soul? All you have to do, is to be a little bit honest with yourself.
>>666 Actually, he has been reincarnated as a cat. Unfortunately, though, he has hired a lot of lookalikes to confuse humans. In case you are wondering, I have nothing to do with him as we are on completely opposite sides of the political spectrum.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9furLAmXrc I happened to know this "i feel you". This is techono too. and it is better. LOL a lot more intellectual. Is he also offering his gratitude to Adolph Hitler?
>>630 what i thought was strange is the fact that there just so happened to be many people who know not just foreign stuff in general but the very specific stuff (kuns and sans)... on this small thread. are they kuns and sans like basics for the people who study history?
>>625 good meeting you...implies anything? maybe as a farewell message, some people may say such words, but universally, we say things like that when we want to say good bye, don't we?
and yes, in Japan, we speak indirect that rely on a recipient's imagination or decency. The famous one is when you'd visit a family in Kyoto, and after sometime passed from the dinner the host would say "would you like some ochazuke?"(add-tea over the rice dish) it implies "go to hell" lol means "please leave now". But we also don't like that way of indirect speech. It is much better to hear "sorry but please leave now" than smiling and actually said a harsh things. lol
Also, if you would see Japanese CF, there are lots of indirect messages. Japanese generally feel that saying too direct as "this product is good" is somewhat very unsophisticated or fool. so instead, they(we) try to make an entire different thing to advertise the product that stick to one's mind. But these days, lots of the CFs we can't tell what it's all about until the last minute.
>>671 Yeah, I notice a lot of lookalike. But these days I don't see them because I don't go outside so have no chance to encounter some lookalikes. today I finally went out, but whatever I see there are all disguise. no true stuff. when there are all fake, we don't even have to pay attention to them.
>>674 It's called general knowledge ;). I come and read these forums because I'm learning Japanese and find reading in Japanese interesting. I think people who are interested in learning a language are generally also interested in learning in general.
That said there also seems to be a reasonable number of idiots, probably from 4chan, who come to check these forums out, probably looking for porn :p, and end up trolling this thread. :P
>>621 Sorry I'm late in replying to you. I had an exam today and needed my ZZZzzzZZZ before hand "_". I never realised click languages where that extensive. I thought they'd died out in all but the language(s) of the San people(s). Although I do remember once reading about the particular Aboriginal artificial shamanist language you mentioned. But that seems like more of a curiosity than anything else.
Oh and thank you for your expansion on interbreeding with Neanderthals. Genetics is really way outside my area of knowledge. Would be interesting to take a few courses in it.
asodesuka..I think that's a matter of duration of life. when one has only few years left to live, they become very serious on every moment of life and ones with 80 more yrs left, they don't care anything serious...NEETs and us are different apprarently. I'm not gay and nver been gay but not the same weight with >>686 lol
I laugh a lot when I see someone who believes he got a saintly heart but actually he just seek for lust and has uncultivated taste and chthonic mind. He is lower than just a normal person. He needs to admit he is just one of the ordinary people. lol
lol you know what you are just one of the ordinary fellow she is even not a standard level. she's not reached to the level 50 cuteness. she is lower then that. too bad you don't even noticed it. it describes that you are a completely inakamono.. I dunno what to say it in English....your taste is so cheap. lol
>>564 > I'de like to know where and when the term 'ginger' became associated with people with > red hair. The root ginger is beige, at the most yellow. How does this resemble red hair > in any way? > rufus flack, england Indeed. Doesn't make any sense.
>>573 Yep, though the natural, truly baby-blond hair color in adults is the most common in Finland, as far as I know. My youngest little sister had blonde hair when she was a baby, but it slowly, slowly darkened a bit over the years. She has light brown hair now. The rest of us siblings always had brown hair.
>>613 August or September. Depends on the education schedule.
>>694 I think the etymology is based around items such as ginger biscuits (ginger snaps), which are usually a red-brown colour afrer being baked, with crystalline glints making them shine more than usual biscuits.
>>613 In the UK, most schools start at the beginning of September. University semesters usually start again in either late September or early October.
>>693 men usually prefer uneducated, fool and country girls. I like those type of girls too. Morning Musume is popular because they are easy to approach.
heh...is it common to fall in love with a girl who is ugly, flat chest, skinny, small, bonehead and no sense of humor? that's like a 死体 ...oh I got it the guy must be a "necrophilia"
>> 703 for me, I would take the second one. I probably wouldn't be having sex with her anyway. And even if I were, I probably wouldn't want the first one.
>men usually prefer uneducated, fool Heh. They're missing out on a lot of good stuff.
>>703 The latter. It's a lot easier to make even an ugly body to look beautiful, than what it is to make an ugly face look beautiful. Sexy is a state of mind, too.
It's good for Asashouryu to ignore media completely. if he'd speak even one word, media would probably exaggerate it and cockeyed the view. He should keep silence until people go off the boil.
>>731 yeah, in a Japanese culture, it is often officially announced that the person (somebody famous) is sick when he/she needs to do a disappearing from the public and that is just an excuse for person's convenience.(it's probably the same everywhere) "tatemae"(public position) is important especially in Japan and there is the false fact in news and everybody knows it's not true but nobody says it's a false or anything, we just see it that way. unspoken understandings.
>>727 I type what I want to say. when I have time I read some old kakikomi but most of the time I don't read. Do you read? sometimes I write something really good but forget on which thread I've written. in a few weeks the thread is gone...I don't know how to enjoy 2channel lol
>>743 yep yep the most miserable life I had gone thru but I've learned a lot through the matter, so it won't happen again! it's like an expensive tuition! lol
>>745 thanks!! belive or not, if you'd stayed in a hospital for a while, everything such as just walking outside while raining would be such a happy event. last night I did fireworks in the garden. It was fun. even I did senkou hanabi for 5 min. lol
>>747 yes yes thanks you sound like a girl, are you a girl? I am a girl too! tonight I will do a firework with my brothers! I have two of them! they love me a lot! thanks! also I want to eat pizza! that was my long time dream I don't know if dr would allow me to eat them though I want to have a bf but someday when I get back to the normal condition! I go to america!! and get a gaijin bf! hehehe

>>749 so your preference is started from you are born? "umaretsuki" or you have grown this kind of taste, influenced by somebody? or you've grown up without your mom or something?
patrick is not a japanese name. In my country, we would destroy such imposters.

>>250 I live with my parents. hmm im not sure, but thats true I started to masturbate when I wan abbout 6 and OKAZU was variety. girl, boy , animal, . etc but When I was junior high school student(second grade) I started to use internet and I found the word 'shotacon' and I convinced that I am a Shotacon since then. しかし、最近は自分が年をとり、少年への懐古の気持ちもでてきてる。。

patrick should run a new music production as "Jannies" and he will be successful in a music entertainment. Jannie Kitagawa was a successful Shotakon. Dunno how many boys he raped.
never take my words as your convenience, interpret it in your own favor. you fucking swollen-headed arrogant shit, you think you are god or something? look at your nickname go to hell
huh? guts? I said never take my words as your convenience, didn't you read my post? I come here to talk to you because I am bored.that's all why the hell I have a guts. Even I have something like that that's nothing to do with you. never say anything related to insight into the human mind. you have no right. you are just a dirty coward pervert. you never have a right to talk about my guts or anything. alright?
>>776 you know what? you only ruin people. you really have to stop your activities to ruin harmless people. As I said, my life became like a hell because of you and now is on the way to get back to my own feet. so don't ruin me anymore.
reunite with dave lee roth? I'm not familiar with rock music. but I know van halen brothers have been rejecting and condemning him because of his acts in the band. If dave lee comes back, they'll be defeated by allure of money.
I have a question. Was this type of melody created by Van Halen guitarist? I couldn't pick up the sound from their song, so I picked up from another band. http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=a5gMeXz2YMw listen to the melody around 2:00-2:10. Tone of guitar sound changs distinctively. and succesive voice echoing'round and round' is distinctive too. I suppose this kind of tecunique was frequently used by Mr.Big.
I'm not a big fan of hard rock. But this question has benn haunting me for a long time. LOL
It's "Arpeggio" but all the notes are muted with the right hand palm, not to sustain each sound. Pretty common technique, though Eddie V.H. used it a lot.
http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=lAoL7kAdYxE Is this Arpeggio? from 2:26 to 2:40? I don't know about the technique. But I think this kind of "molody" are frequently played by rock bands, especially from the west coast bands like van halen. Who invented this "melody"? And sound from 2:42 to 2:49 is also familiar sound. I think these two sounds often come together. 2:42 to 2:49 melody, then 2:26 to 2:40.
>>797 No, its not really arpeggio, because each note must be picked individually if it is. It's more like a loosely muted stroke of frequent code changes, or whatever you call it. lol You hear a couple of notes at the same time (on one stroke). I don't know who made that kind of riff first but it is so West Coast, surely. Actually, it is very Van Halen.
The part of the clip in >>799 is "harmonics", which is another technique, but I know what you mean. You hear similar notes here at 0:42 to 0:46. http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=gX2CyIH_ebE
You mean harmonics? It is originally used for guitar tuning, so maybe someone who made the guitar first. lol He loved the peaky sound and blended it to his style, I guees.
first of all, I am not curious about technique . I just thought melody line was very impressive. So setting aside the technique, how about the melody line, flow of tune? I just thought melody line might be invented by van halen.
I don't know much about japanese rock either. But as long as I know, there is not many van halen type band. I think this type of music doesn't match japanese face or style.
We might want to act like them, but it only becomes a wet blanket.
http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=f5UjuXJEdso This song is similar to L.A metal or west coast hard rock. BUt I think they were originally orthodox heavy metal band. And They may not be a pure japanese band. Because their activities were mainly in USA.
I don't know the quality of the song. But I can't help feeling the limit of japanese vocal ability.
I don't like x-japan. But they got beyond only imitation Yoshiki put ヤンキー (japanese chav or thug or bike gang) tastes into music. 気合いれろ!or his meaningless bandage and corset. His overreaction reminds me of takarazuka(childish women only theater troupe). Their costume is already famous and foreigners can easily understand their characteristics. But I think it's very difficult for foreigners to understand the nuance of ヤンキー aspect. Maybe dave spector could do.
yoshiki and toshi were in ヤンキー relationship. yoshiki was boss. toshi was required to sacrifice his life to yoshiki's order. Yoshiki played for the life of him. So every member must. . There was some kind of aesthetics. kind of yakuza.
>>814 I've always wondered why they are called 'ヤンキー'. In the UK, we call Americans, generally, Yankees. As far as I know, 'Yankees' was originally the name given to the English who lived in the North-East section of what is now the USA.
is this kind of apology concerned sincere? some peple use youtube for this purpose. even some people use for their private matter, they need to say the NAME clearly to whom he wants to apologize.(nobody knows who...) lol looks silly but better than doing nothing.
>>817 I am japanese. I also didn't know the reason. Etymology of ヤンキー came from osaka, renowned for its violence and thugs and yakuza. Osaka bad boys seem to have shouted やんけ(yanke) when fighting. やんけ is dialect in osaka or kansai chiku. やんけ is considered to be the origin of ヤンキー. But it's one of the theories. not complete theory.
http://img.blogs.yahoo.co.jp/ybi/1/89/ea/shooting_star_2031/folder/859562/img_859562_33360853_1?1145266043 ヤンキーimage. they are not really ヤンキー. they are clever. they are just acting and using fashon image. and they are not violent . they are rather comical. I can't find good ヤンキー pictures on the net. they are mostly adolescent. so they may be reluctant to expose their face on the net. or just vast majority of ヤンキー don't do the net.
>>816 aesthetic? don't use that word please. it is only used when the relationship is something sophisticated. in this case, he was only Yoshiki's dog. It's good he's awaken but by a cult....what a pitiful guy.
Yoshiki is intellectually high but seeing his yanky fashion, he was not a good student. I guess those students have no future. they would remind that way forever...the beautifl girl won't come to them unless they change their fashion, atttitude, lol
>>817 On Wikipedia it says they are called a yankee because in the 70s to early 80s they originally wore clothes they bought in America Mura. According to the article there were also delinquents called an europee who wore clothes from Europe Mura, but I have never heard of them and dont know if its true.

you deserve more cruel lynch. but you are a genuine kink so the standard lynch is too soft I'll think about it but I won't be bothered to think such idea coz it's just a wasting time. only when I am bored I will.
but the most cruel moment is when you will be totally ignored (by me, by this world) and become all alone. you can't even tolerate the loneliness, you coward.
>>829 More than just bleeding, if you're not on hormones: There is a cycle where the uterus creates new a lining (bloodfilled tissue covering the inside of the uterus) each month. If the woman doesn't get pregnant, the body expels the lining over the course of several days. This is why women normally bleed. Bits and pieces of their insides (in the uterus) is dying and melting off. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:MenstrualCycle2.png

Do you know "あさって(asatte) it means day after tomorrow. But it also means something totally irrelevant.
Asatte na koto wo iu "You are saying something totally irrelevant"
Have you read the novel that received the "Akutagawa award", アサッテの人?. usually all the novels of Akutagawa award are great including, Hachiya something...but this time I suggest you not read this crap. Unfortunately I read it...(give me back my time..) Ishihara Shintaro and Murakami Ryu and some others said not worth and Ishihara esp got angry...lol) while Yamada Eimi said it was interesting. lol

>>853 you mind your own business and I said you never mess around with me ok? you go to hell I want to have some intellectual discussion with good people here... you Uji mushi
>>851 Eh, that was hardly insulting. It doesn't matter to me what pronouns people use, because my gender usually doesn't matter, unless it's for lending credibility to statements about e.g. what it can feel like to have a period, or boobs etc.
I really have to see a doctor since you annoy me over and over and never stop. I want to come to internet but you never let me enjoy the life. please stop hurting me.
Is there japanese lauglage forum, where english speaking people try to wirte japanese? I wanna wreak havoc on such a place just like Buddha-Pest ◆egXIm/dP9k isdoing in this thread.
>>898 The "flied" looks odd, there =/ I'd use "flew", but English isn't my main language. Are there any Aussies, USAians or Brits who'd like to comment, around?
This is one of my favourite Swedish groups. Falconer. At least before they changed their vocalist. Personally (just a matter of taste, not saying they're bad!), I find The Ark a little too whiny sounding. ttp://youtube.com/watch?v=h1e8vZvYowk
