Hey!!! you NEETs, nerds, YouＴube-link spammers, pedophiles, neo-Nazis,
Yukorin enthusiasts, Nanako SOS admirers, Part-Time-Preachers,
Diplomats' spoiled sons, losers who can't remember Kanji characters,
Big-boobs fans, Weeaboos from all over the world, learners of Japanese
who are too lazy to update their Japanese blogs very often, and cunning
linguists. And let's hope the Internet-addicted housewife will come back soon!

Here is the place to have a ball!!!!!

>>1
GJ!
Slim Shady is in all of us.

I love coffee.<3

I love to be coffee if you are a charming lady.

Shit skin Obama!

In my opinion as a Jap, tonsurers are much better than racists.

I love my wife.

many tonsurers are korean racists.
the combination of racism and tonsuru makes perfect.

Aren't you being selfish and asking too much of your partner? Show some consideration for him/her.
---------------------------
In this case, the questioner thinks he or she "is" selfish.


Are you not feeling well?

In this case, the questioner thnks he or she "is not" feeling well.

Am I right?
So, I guessed it was too abstruct and assertive
to say "aren't you" and "are you not" means the same.

I want to solicit any opinions on my thought
from native speakers and Japanese

>>9

abstruct→abstract

My cock stinks 'cause it has been aging in foreskin on long years.

Maria and I are cuddling each other at the moment.
She's whispering words of love to me in Russian.
I feel as if we were in Heaven.

We just want to be left alone in a world of shit.

>>3
Do you know that caffein weaken your bone?
It has been reported that caffein increases egestion of calcium, so
it is advisable that you limit the amount of coffee to approx. 2 cups a day.

Having said that though, I love coffee, too, and I don't have a large coffee cup.
What shoud I do?

They also say that salt weaken your bone, too.
But I like salt.

Life is tough.

caffeine is a terrible substance, it destroys your sleep cycle too.
I'd say if you need tostayawake, opt for a 20 min microsleep, it
would boost your concentration.
For refreshment, drink freshly pressed carrot-orange juice.
Organic, if you can afford it.
It refreshes and sharpens your cognition.

Yeah.
A 20 min microsleep(during lunchtime break) brings me refreshment.
To be candid with you, the time was suppose to be my English studying time but ended up to be nap time.
Eveytime I started studying English, I become sleepy even if I drink a cup of coffee in advance.

Strangely enough, while chatting with you in English, I can stay awake.

Caffein becomes active approx. 15 min. after you take it.
So drink coffee or tea, go into microsleep mode, then caffein will
wake you up in 15 min.
That's said to be the best way to take a nap especially at work.

Thanks for your advice.
I'll keep in mind balancing my life.

Dont you enjoy gay? How about mens wearing womens clothes

In fact, coffee is lesser than tea and green tea as for caffein, besides green tea is container than tea.

Three octopus ran away, or I should say, swam away to avoid becoming ingrediant
of Takoyaki from aquariem. Have you seen them?


Ω　Ω.. Ω.....

I've stopped drinking coffee some time ago...
Now I usually drink mate or green/black tea for caffeine, sometimes cola.
Right now though, I hardly drink anything with caffeine at all, since
it's not really necessary; I've graduated from school in June and uni doesn't
start until October for me. No need to upset my sleep cycle and feed
my caffeine addiction just for self-study.

Sorry, I didn't mean to あげ(age) this time.
I forgot to put sage into the box.

>>20
that's true for the dry leaves,
but if we're talking readily brewed beverages,
coffee tends to have have more caffeine.

>>21
But they seem to have been eaten 6 of their legs already...

Really?
I didn' t know it. Thanks.
By the way, talking of coffee, it was discussed by the people of "SASUGA Thread" in bulletin board of guideline.
It's theme is discussed in anywhere.

why so coffee or takoyaki here?

>>27
Because coffee and takoyaki is like Romeo and Julliette.

Ω　Ω.. Ω..... Ω　Ω.. Ω..... Ω..... Ω　Ω..
Ω　Ω.. Ω..... Ω　Ω.. Ω..... Ω..... Ω　Ω..
Ω..... Ω　Ω.. Ω..... Ω..... Ω..... Ω..... Ω　Ω..

This isn't an AA spam. You can count how many octopus ran away from aquariem
when you can't sleep at night. Counting sheep is old school
Counting Octopus is hot in US, especialy in West coast among celebrities.

Hey is anyone here wanna chat with me?
I'm bored.
I'm supposed to do my homework for tomorrow but I don't feel like doing it now.

Do you know Taguchi (23) from KAT-TUN and Komine (26) are going out together?
Age difference is 6 years. Taguchi is less popular among girls than
Kamenashi so the news isn't widesread overseas?

Their date was shot by a paparazzi photographer in 2007 for the first time and a few private
photo was leaked by someone on the Internet.
Up intil now, they seem to go out. One of the article of Yahoo news today is
they came back from a private trip from Hawaii. They departed to Hawaii on
the same flight but came back on different flight from each other to avoid
paparazzi photographers, according to the news.

Leaked photo: http://www.cyzo.com/images/taguchi_komine.jpg
These photos were originally uploaded by their friends on Facebook and
widespread.

http://p.pita.st/?vekgmixy
This is from this trip to Hawaii.

Good Afternoon!

>>31
Wow, those photos look really real!
btw, who is this woman, Komine?
Is she a model?
Never heard of or seen her before.

>>32
Hi. Are you really Chinese?

>>33
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%B0%8F%E5%B6%BA%E9%BA%97%E5%A5%88
I've seen her on TV but I don't know much about her.

May I ask how to make a reply link like >> 31?

>>32 Yes, I am from Hong Kong. Nice to meet you. And you?

Oh... I can make a link now... hohoho......

>>36
Pleased to meet you, too. I'm from Japan.
Welcome to the cesspool of Internet. I wonder how you got to know this
thread.

I saved Edison Chan's leaked photos in my PC but now I deleted all of them.

>>38
coz I wanna know more about Tokyo Earthquake.
Recently news in Hong Kong are always talking about ths topic.
And some forums as well,
that's why i came to 2ch and wanna know how you guys think about it.

>>39
WAHAHAHA!!  funny...
Everyone has seen their photos in Hong Kong.

hey native speakers
please translate this english 文章　to japanese
Cuz the people in the translating thread couldnt translate well


hey! whats up!!!! I am doing a new video series call: Will it burn with axe?
If you have any suggestion please let me know and I will credit you with coming up with the idea in the video!!! THANKS!!!!

>>40
Hong Kong is all right even if a big earthquake hit Tokyo.

ヨー！元気？
"Will it burn with axe"という新作映画をやってます。
アドバイスがあれば教えてください。
クレジットをあげますよ。
ありがとう！

>>43
No, I don't mean that.
I just wonder if it is safe to come for travelling.

>クレジットをあげますよ。

This part is wrong, I think.
アイデアを考えた人ということで、ビデオの中に名前の表記を入れます。

>>46
Thank you for amending.
My Japanese is not very well at all!! hahaha...
but according to Yahoo Dictionary,
クレジット means 映画などの製作者・出演者・協力者・資料提供者などのリスト.
That's why I didn't emphasize the names of the adviser.
I learnt something today!! haha... Thank you very much!

>>45
The earthquake the other day has nothing to do with an expected big earthquake
which is supposed to hit Tokyo regularly, once in 50? 100? years.
So I think you can come to Tokyo withour being afraid of a big earthquake.

By the way, should be ビデオシリーズ,
not 映画. hahaha......

>>47
I'm not sure completely about my translation. I hope I'm right.

Hello, 香港女-san!
I'm a big fan of Bruce Lee.
I wonder if he is still popular in Hong kong.

I'm a big fan of Bruce Lee too.
He is really cool.
I guess he is still alive.

test

I could not post anything just now!
Why?

>>52
Yeah.
He is still alive in me.

>>54
Isn't it because you tried to post in too little interval?
Not sure, though.

>>54
I guess it's because of overflow of e-mail to you.
We were enchanted by you.

Many posters seem to get really excited only by the simple word,
女, LOL

>>58
I've seen a lot of 女 on the streets in my life.
But I just saw 女 in this thread for the first time.
No wonder I really get excited.

I like calpis.
I have calpis of the petbottle in my house.
It is taste of white peach.
Very delicious,I love!

oh new thread

>>60
Long time ago, I used to drink calpis as well as chorus.
Do you know there was a battle between calpis and chorus?
It was just like coke vs. pepsi.
Today, calpis isn't popular in Japan. I think chorus disappeared.

Are you from overseas?

I do not understand English.
I cannot speak English.
But I like English.

I am Japanese.
Are you from?

I like cow-piss.

>>64
You must be Aussie.

ill :(

I hear Australians love their Piss（piss beer）. That's all.
No offensive meanings.

16>> learning to speak a foreign language is demanding. Think of language as
water and you need to immerse yourself and swim, your whole being in it.

That is why learning a language in a class does not fully engage your
learning instinct. In a class, you are trying to swim but all you can
do is drink water. That is where media comes in. You can leave streaming
english sites on when you are in the hose, sing in English, watch English
films with subtitles. Engage yourself in English , if possible, make
English speaking friends. it will keep your mind aware and you wont need
coffee...

in your "house" not hose, LOL!! gomen

66>>get well soon!look after yourself.

>>21
>>29

I will stop eating octopus, even if i love sashimi. It is upsetting to
think of all these creatures losing their limbs. Especially now that
I have seen your drawing of octopus running away. Heartbreaking.
No takoyaki, microwaved or otherwise, for me.

>>31 Yes I read the Taguchi rumours, even that he got married secretly
and went to Hawaii, while I was looking at the Kame-Kyon rumours.
I cannot understand why he is the least popular,
he is very talented, good looking and sweet, and he is the tallest of all.

There are rumours that Kame-Kyon, already married, will go onan overseas tripin November.
An d that Kyon is pregnant!

>>68
Thanks for your guidance.
Yes, 香港女-san really stimulated my basic instincts. No need for caffeine.
I'd like to chat with her, if I have a choice.

>>67
Is that true? I haven't heard that.
I mean i think only aborigine do.
I have no idea though. Sorry. No offense

I'm so thrilled to see the coffee topic thriving with lots of people in here.<3
Just thought I'd add this for those who haven't developed tolerance to caffeine yet:
It is recommended to start off with decaf if you want to switch from cola or tea to coffee,
and you may want to take a sufficient amount of calcium supplement or milk
on a daily basis, along with a short nap combined with enough exercise to keep up
the energy level as well as not to disturb your regular sleep cycle.
Though more importantly, don't max out your caffeine limit, and enjoy your coffee life!!

>>71
I'm glad you are getting to think octopus is cute creature.

Have you ever eaten grade AA tako-sashi(not frozen one)?
You could get addicted.

>>75
Approx. how much coffee do you drink per day?

Drinking too much coffee causes severe damage to your stomach. X(

Aren't you being selfish and asking too much of your partner? Show some consideration for him/her.
---------------------------
In this case, the questioner thinks he or she "is" selfish.

Are you not feeling well?
-----------------------------------
In this case, the questioner thnks he or she "is not" feeling well.

Am I right?
So, I guessed it was too abstract and assertive
to say "aren't you" and "are you not" means the same.

I want to solicit any opinions on my thought
from native speakers and Japanese advanced English users.

Grope a woman from behind her back!

I've just called the police.

>>81
When did I say grope a stranger?

　 　　 ○ ,　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 ○>
　 　　/￣'☆ 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　）　　
　 ／ >　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　／


Double click on ☆ and you'll see kamehame-wave.

>>82
Ah I see. You grope your mom.

>>79
I don't think it is a very good idea to compare the two sentences used in different contexts and situations.

We were in a world of shit yersterday.

I love, Rainbird by Tokyo No 1 Soulset.

What is your take on this mysterious incident?

>>88
The song sounds OK but the rap part sounds clumsy and amateurish to me.

well there is nothing mysterious about humans disappearing.
It is best if we all disappear.

glad you liked the song sans the rap part. Bikke's rapping
sounds so sweet to my gaijin ears.

>>90
I didn't expect such a cynical response from you about the missing.

>> You mean , you never expected 2chanster in general to reply in a cynical manner
or

me in particular.

this board is sucks!

>>92
You in particular, of course.
I thought you'd reply, like "Oh, my. The Police have to find her soon.
Somethigng terrible must have happened to her."

Your answer was the opposite.
>It is best if we all disappear.

So opposite that I almost laughed. Your comment sounds like a comment
of people whose real life is terrible. You seem to have a good real life
so I didn't expect that comment from you.

Let us assume, through this supposedly anonymous board, you have built up
a profile of me, anon-san, simply by reading the messages on this board.
Let's suppose that you have an eye for detail and you can spot this
anon-san's messages, through experience.
How would you know how I would react, without knowing me personally.
only through the info on this message board?
It is more mysterious than the case of the disappearing couple.

Leave us alone. You are harrassing us.

>>94 having said that, I am glad that it made you almost laugh.
Disappearing is not related to whether one's life is really good or bad.
That sort of idea is either too heroic and selfish.
When you detach yourself from that state of mind, when the futileness
of everything sets in, you can enjoy life as it is a lot more.
Even if your life is in turmoil.

>> who is "us" and who is "you"? on an anonymous board ?

>>95
Even if this is an anonymous board, you can tell to a certain extent what
kind of people some posters are. If I'm not mistaken, you're a Kamenashi's fan.
Through your posts, I get an impression that your real life is good(not miserable regarding job and all that...)
you are friendly and nice.

I don't think anyone whose real life is good has to disappear.

It's not clear yet the Yale student disappeared on her own will or were kidnapped or
anything. She is expecting to get married soon, which means her real life is very good,
I don't think she disappeared on her own will. Just my opinion.

>>99 the best approach is never to assume things, when analysing
people, their life or events.

when we assume things, we narrow the possibilities of existance to a tiny
window.

>>95 firstly that blog is about crime, people who love crime stories
generally have some guilt associated with them, so media exploits
that endlessly.

That blog feeds on your inner guilt, and raises money through
advertisement and marketing. That couple may or may not exist,
they may or may not have disappeared. There
are a number of possibilities in between, but they are irrelevant.

>>100
If the Yale student was kidnapped and is found dead, I win and you have
to make Takoyaki for me. If she disappeared on her own will and found alive,
you win.

>>101
Maybe the blog was bad but I think this case is widely broadcast in USA
by reliable media.

>>100 What is in it for me ? you are not getting away so easily.
I know- A ticket to a Kat-tun concert...or Dreamboys...:-D

>>101 no no the blog isn't bad, it is designed in a clever way, all
i am saying is,whether their reports are true or not,
it appeals to certain type of people and makes money out of it.

come to think of it, i read somewhere that 2chan servers are located
in the USA, not in Japan. Amazing isn't it...

Konnichiwa to Japanese 2chansters, Oyasumi to me...

>>104
Sweet dreams!

White boys are more staunch, cute and beautiful.
Why do you love ugly japanese boys, among others, kamenashi?
He is critisized by even japanese for his ugliness and excessive
, unproportional exposurses on TV.
He is not popular in Japan. His drams has been
failure, failure and failure.

>>106
He's popular in Japan but there're some people who don't like him.
It's impossible to please everybody. That's all.

Some people doesn't like Johnney's boys but some love them.
On average, they are popular. That's why their CDs sell much and you
often see them on TV and CM.

Staunch may have been strange.
I just wanted to say something like strong.
I remember new words and forgot another words.
Everyday it goes on.

Kamenashi may look like anime characters. His hair style and
make-up may are made to resemble them. and long horse-like face.
These characteristics may attract occidental otaku people.

>>107
I don't like kimtaku and kusanagi. But their popularity
are proven by high ratings of their dramas.
Dramas in which kamenashi played protagonists have been
very poor in popularity and ratings. Audience ratings are exceptionally low.
It's wonder why he could keep playing a main role one after another.
Its rumoured that there were strong pushs from his talent agency
and an executive.
But at last he has not been given another chance for a long period.
Unfortunately ka-tun is not a successful group compared to smap, V6, arashi
and tokio.
kamenashi's rival akanisi? has not gotten nationwide popularity too.
I guess he has more antis than fans.

Johnnys failed to sell kamenashi as ka-tun's core member.
So Johhny's tried two star system, kamenashi and akanishi.
So far they have not succeeded much.

wats up
is there anyone here who loves lady gaga?
Love her so much!

I looked lady gaga up on the net.
I don't know who she is.
from the appearance she is not so good.
she looks like european, which turns out not correct now.

Are those who oppose obama's health insurance reform
mainly whites?

yahoo america has not reported ichiro's new rocord so far.
If ichiro was white or at least american, media would have
coverd his record more big and wide.

On the top page, serana williams who slured at japanese referee.
and Ichiro is none.

US Open Tennis is underway so Ichiro's new record isn't big deal there.
American don't value the number of single hits. They like something big
and flamboyant such as a big home run.

The don't appreciate the art of producing single hits. Use this anology to
think about American way of thinking. They produce big gas gazzlers. They look
powerful and flamboyant. Japanese car manufacturer is proud of their cars
milage and new technology such as hybrid car or electric car even though they
don't look flamboyant.

American don't value the number of single hits. They like something big
and flamboyant such as a big home run.

I know these conditions too. But if a record breaker was a guy as american as apple pie,
American media would have got more crazy.
Pete Rose is legend no matter what. Subtracting ichiro's
powerlessness and his high number of infield hits, media's
coverage is too little.

By the way, you are a good English teller. Are you native american?
You used there. It means you are away from America.

http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb;_ylt=AgJG2nVyoZJd0w9meEPsMNQ5nYcB

hey, look. too small. lol

Yes, I'm from Nabaho tribe.
Joking aside, you don't have to live in America to say "there."
I'm Japanese and I've never lived there.

This video must be interesting to you.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWP7ZKr5MbY

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/home/index.html
Big in Seattle. lol
Mr.Big, Big in Japan.

Mr.Big is a rock band representing american rock in Japan. They might be regarded
one-hit wonder or just lumped in with
many 80-90's hard rock bands in America.
They were well known among hard rock fans in japan
before they achieved commercial success in America.

I want to know how popular Mr.Big is in America.
At least everybody thinks they know or heard of their name?

I know them but I can't recall their song
or I know this song but what is their name?

likely?

I don't say Mr.Big is more popular than van halen.
Van Halen's jump is one of signiture rocks here in Japan.

>>116
At least in Seattle, his new record is a big news.
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/home/index.html

He is extremely popular in Seattle. When Seattle's football team won
Super Bowel, there was a survey which asked who is your most favorite athlete.
The number one was Ichiro, not the Quater Back of Seattle's football team.
That's amazing.

It takes more for Ichiro to become a real hero like NORIAKI.

Ichiro can't be white nor black.
Noriaki is more real than soul brothers.

Ichiro's wife looks very tired with black rings around her eyes and
very skinny.
I wonder if she has enough money to buy groceries?

>>74
I'm afraid you misunderstood something. They named the beer Piss.
Piss Beer is totally beer even though beer looks like piss v.v.
It's delicious as long as you close your eyes, I suppose.

By the way, I hope that 香港女-san was not a GAL-OYAJI.
OYAJI-GAL is acceptable but GAL-OYAJI is absolutely no good!
I think OYAJI is creepy, although I'm one of them.

gross!

You must be 香港女-san.

>>123
What is more, she can't bring a child.
We need ichiro dynasty just like nagashima dynasty.
Ichiro should change his wife for another young, healthy, loyal woman.

>>127
He's famous for 熟女 fetish as far as I know so that's impossible.

so mature woman should allow ichiro to have relationship with
another women and recognise his chidren from another breed.
I guess she already turns her blind eyes to ichiro's adultery or
love games.
She was born to make curry breakfast and onigiri lunch for ichiro.

>>129 there are young guys into mature women to do point of
obsession, if she divorces she would find another. Tjhre will always be
hot young guys out there

>>124 what is GAL-OYAJI vice versa?

aah yasai ramen after being thrown about in aikido for two hours is the best.

Itadakimas!

Wow so much Kamenashi messages.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmd6tI7pNoE

>>106 how could you say Japanese boys are ugly!? take it back.
Can you give me examples of western boys that look "beautiful".
There are some really good looking ones of course, but mostly
they are too tall like a tree, with no curves or shape, no excitement.
Or they are too wide, thick and too muscly, basically, not slim at all.
Some (not all) Nordics and Slavics are gorgeous, but thatis it.

>>133 wwwww That was so funny! I will send it to my friends!

>>135
They are a very popular comedy duo.
In the TV show, junior high or high school girls were gathered in a
room and judged performances of some comedy groups.

I guess Japanese boys have the advantage of looking fit, slim, with
beautiful exotic looks. And Johnny seems to recruit boys that have exactly
that "look", which seems to appeal to a lot of women internationally
Some had plastic surgery but were cute even before surgery.
Right now I have a Kamenashi photo as background, without make-up,
hair tied up in a samurai fashion, greasy and spotty
face but a super genuine smile. He still is the focused hardworking
Kame that goes out of his way to please the crowds.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmd6tI7pNoE

Some people might know this. Steven Seagal has lived in Japan and
practiced Aikido. He is an Aikido master. He speaks some Japanese.
Maybe his wife is Japanese. Their daughter is in show business in Japan.
I don't know how popular she is though.

This is a Tackey-Tsubasa fan clip. The song starts but the filming person diverts
attention to the backdancers lead by an adolescent Kame and Koki.
Even from that distance Kame looks extremely good, just compare it with the
guy dancing just behind him, he moves differently, his joints
are super flexible.
Kame swings his hips and the audience nosebleed to death.

This one is hilarious!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bdMYZdaPcM

>>139
Shooting a film in any concert are prohinited but I can watch how
girls are screaming in a Johnny's boys concert.
You should watch it live when you come to Japan. I think you'll faint.

>>141 I think I'll need a blood transfusion if I go to a Kame gig.

If this clip isn't hot, what is?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJqdnOsVg4U

Johnny's Boys are your national assets, you can take over the world
with them, along with DJ Ozma who has Johnny's audition rejects
as backdancers:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB4bSKlc29U

wwwwwww

>>142
What????
Do you mean DJ Ozma wanted to be a Jonny's boy?
No wonder, her has that kind of look when he is not wearing those
funny makeups.

>>134
I vote for Leonardo Decaprio when he was in the movie Gilber Grape.
He was young, skinny, clean and innocent with gorgeous blond hair.
I also love how his way of speaking English.
Does anyone know which state he was brought up in?

>>142
Glad to know Johnny's boys are popular among some people overseas, but
I have to admit they are B-rate entertainment.
If any of Johnny's boy perform at an Apolo theater's event called amateur night,
they'll be booed and kicked out of the stage.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB4bSKlc29U
You can watch women dancers naked in the latter half. They are not naked in reality. They
just wear nude-like constume. DJ OZMA is banned from making apearance
on NHK, equivelant of BBC, after the incident. Viewers thought they are
really naked and made phone calls, accusing him.

Even if the women weren't naked, (the mens were, by the way) that kind of coustume
wasn't good because the show was watched by kids, too. The music show is
a year-ending family program.

We are in a world of shit.

>>143 no no no, i was just judging by the weird dance moves of
his backdancers that they were Johnny's rejects...It is not true LOL

they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I guess he has beautiful eyes, he looks goood in this clip:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLQhdEW-xN4

no idea where he is from.

>>145
No, I'm not. There are many people who are in a world of shit like you, but I'm not.
Why don't you try your best to get out of the world?

>>144 no matter if its B rate for adults, JE caters for the kidult
women, they have a niche market that is actually huge, i believe their
overseas potential is enormous, I wish they would send their boys over
to Europe.

>>144 DJ Ozma is an amazing cult figure, I cannot get enough of his songs.
my favourite ;

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4nan5_dj-ozma-yyyyyyyyyy_music

>>146
Gee, thanx for the video clip!
We usually don't get to see natural conversations of foreign celebs.
in Japan, so it was very nice.
Leo IS the best!

>>150 you are welcome.it was a nice chat with you guys, I better retire.
Did not get any work done after Aikido so...better get some sleep

>>149
uhmmm.....could you elaborate on which part of the music video
attracts you, if you don't mind?
I mean, I'm also a big fan of Ozma, but I'm not sure why that
song is particularly attractive.
Is is the combination of the shrine and Para Para dancing?

Pretty sure DiCaprio was raised in CA, being a child actor. As far as J-
boys not being cute, maybe it's just the ones on TV? I see lots of
handsome J-boys just walking down the street in Tokyo, so don't judge all
Japanese by what you see on TV.

before I go, even if it's looked down as B rated ents, these boys
brighten up our mood all over the world:

The most handsome American celebrity is Stephen Colbert!

>>147
Can you see you are also in a world of shit?

>>152 I read the lyrics, looked like he was trying to win the heart
of this girl, whom he had known before, he was sympathetic to her
(she is a Cinderella hostess after all), it was a touching song from
that aspect.

>>153 I am not a Dicaprio fan at all, that clip was for >>143san.
I am with you, I wrote >>137.

Sweet dreams of the tutle and takoyaki.

>>155
Seems like he's a funny comedian.

>>155
seriously?? You are odd.

>>155
I think he is the type of guy who thinks he is handsome, i.e.
self-conscious.
Those people are usually missing something, something really
importatn to be a real handsome guy.
In short, I guess you can call him a half-baked handsome.

>>157
Ah, lyrics.
I had never paied attention to his lyrics because they are usually
silly with more focus on puns and rhyming.
But thanx, I'll probably listen to it again.

>>160
You are pathetic. You are deep in a world of shit. I'm sure of that.

Patric Swayze passed away....
He was so good in Drity Dancing.
Here is his big hit from the movie.
Beautiful.

I mean I've never that. No offence

http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/09/15/connecticut.missing.yale.student/index.html

The Yale student was found dead. It's most likely a murder.
The place her body was found is where nobody other than insiders can
access to. Is it a professor or lab mate who killed her?

In Japan, there was a killing where a professor was murdered. The murderer was
a former student of the prof. He graduated from the uni but didn't
land a regular job and doing part-time job. He often changed his job.
He had grudge against the prof.

>>138
I like how she doesn't fake her voice as women on Japanese television are wont to do.

we are in a world of shit.

>>143
You love this kind of face?
Japanese boys are not beautiful. You just love those slanted eyed
monsters. That's all.

If you think Japanese boys are monsters, you are on the wrong internet forum.
LOL, wwwww, etc.

There are lots of ugly white boys out there, too. All races have ugly.

That's why I love Stephen Colbert.

Stephen Colbert is insolent.
He insulted treasure of korea, Pi.

>>165 he is not smiling in that photo but he is cute. He has some
childhood clips, his eyes are gorgeous when he smiles, turning
into long black lines. But that is not the point, it is his joints,
gestures, eye/neck/body movements.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUvQnSeTmME

>>173 No that smile is not sincere. He does notlook natural, if he
did, he would be sweet.

I don't see why you keep putting down Japanese men's looks at all.
Do you have a grudge against them?

No, he's just upset because he's ugly by American standards, so he needs to
insult people in foreign countries. If he insulted Americans, people
would dislike him even more than they do now. A beautiful person can
insult me any day of the week, but I wouldn't take it from someone who's ugly.

>>170 Well I guess you want me to make takoyaki for you. that
means i have to find someone to teach me. how about you cook
it to teach me first hehe.

This is totally a world of tonsuru.

Probably, you're onto something.
Some people hold a grudge against others for some butthurt reason that no one would ever understand.

I think he is only very hungry.
Eat some ochazuke with leftover rice and greentea.
I'm sure that will make you calm.

btw, I'm looking at the newpaper this morning and find that
my beloved Nagatsuma doesn't seem to be selected as a cabinet member.
Does anyone know why?
I think he was one of the strong forces that made the DPJ's landslide
victory possible.

Don't forget NORIAKI IS DA REAL!

Shit skin beasts! swinging from the rope!

I love coffee.<3

We are in a world of shit again.

I think I'm dumb
Or mayby Just Happy

Do you think so?
I disagree with you.
I think you are just dumb

It doesn't matter if you are or not. Have a splendid cup of coffee and be happy.<3

As long as we're quoting songs, here's one of my favorites-
All of the stage names evaporate
and it's just a blood-flushed and heart-rushing race
either to kick off too soon or stick around too late
to be far too dear or too cut-rate
hold my hand again
like at the lake

hold that mirror, babe
up to my face
hear the whipoorwhill
am i breathing still?

so take this thin broken down circus clown reject and give her the name of a queen
don't I know her from the mezzanine?
she didn't look like no princess to me
but with the proper words bestowed
and with her morning shoot
her evening clothes
don't call her a prostitute
she ain't one of those-
just call her a proper little state
come unfroze

>>189
Sorry to say that only liquorice tea is served in this thread.

>>192
No problem, I've just made myself plenty of coffee. If you'd like some, just help yourself.<3

Ahh....thanks. You make great coffee : )

>>182
Hatoyama appointed Nagatsuma as health, labor and welfare minister.

Isn't he a former journalist?
So he has a sharp nose for scandals. And all he did was questioning questioning and questioning in the Diet.
In my eyes, he is a one-pattern-person like エドはるみ.
I doubt, he is capable enough to deal with complicated political issues.

I hope my opinion will not offend you.

>>195 this must be exciting times for Japan.

I have a question. I found an odd phrase in youtube.
what does "put your panties in a bunch" mean?
I mean, plz someone express it in more plain English.

LOL. Put your panties in a bunch is an expression Americans use that means
don't get so upset/angry. It's a little stronger than the phrase "don't worry"
and is usually expressed in a more negative way.

Does that clarify things to you?
To be honest, I'm not even sure of the origins of that expression, but
it is a little difficult to explain. It's very odd.

Sorry, I hope my explanation didn't get your panties in a bunch : )

>>195
You must be trolling, but I might as well challenge.

He does ask very sharp questions at the Diet sessions and those questions are
all based on facts.
His strength is that he is capable of digging very into problems and find out the
truth.
He has been grilling the Kasumigaseki bureaucrats to discolse intentionally
hidden documents and never let them get away with hiding the inconvenient facts.
Now that he has the cabinet seat, he will use all it takes to, what we call,
lance the boil of political corruption.

I wonder how Patric Swasy been viewed in the US?
Is he recognized as one of good actors?
He seems to have created a good family with beautiful wife.
I'm just curious.

ttp://www.justhungry.com/about

While I was surfing the net, I bumped into two fabulous website sites run
by the same woman. She's Japanese, who has spent most of her life overseas
and is a great cook. She's not a pro cook but seems like to have deep knowledge about
Japanese dishes and bento box lunch.

If you're interested in Japanese dishes and bento box lunch, the sites are the
place to go. The links are to "about" pages of the both sites.
You can read her posts on the blogs and learn a lot about Japanese dishes
and bento box lunch.

One of the sites has a blog entry about how to make takoyaki.
ttp://www.justhungry.com/takoyaki

You can type a word in the search box at the top of the page and
you are shown links to relevant pages. I typed "natto" there and
lots of links to her blog entries came up.

This is one of the entries regarding natto.
ttp://www.justhungry.com/2007/01/the_great_natto_diet_rush_the.html

>>201
エドはるみ repeated saying GOOD.
He repeated saying NO GOOD.

But now he's in the post in charge of CREATING GOOD THINGS(good society)'.
We will see how things go.

Unlike other developed nations, notorious bureaucracy exists in Japan.
We must say good-bye to the present bureaucracy-led system.
I agree with you on that point.

Good luck to him and you.

thank you for the links. I propmised to demonstrate my colleagues

Yesterday, Nori-P (Rari-P) was released on bail and made an apology
at a press conference. Surprisingly enough, lots of people across Japan
sympathized with Nori-P despite her drug abuse, wishing her a good
comeback for the tears she shed there. This is not even remotely fair,
but you can safely assume that if you are cute enough you should be
able to get away with stuff like this.
And, with bodyguards like ｔhese two yakuza, you would have nothing to fear, too.

>>211 are they real yakuza? just as i imagined! ferocious looking men.

>>212
Obviously so. Nori-P's father was a yakuza boss when he was alive and
she's still part of the family.

I found this on you tube, what arepeople shouting? they sound very angry

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1O02bwlHK8

And this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKW-agg2iaI&feature=related

They're too chaotic to catch. Don't know exactly what they are saying,
but probably the officers and the reporters are shouting at each other there.

>>211
I agree with you.
The media coverage is just too sympathetic with that criminal.
Being a woman myself, I can tell her tears were fake.
She didn't sound appologetic at all.
She even sounded like she might have a chance to come back to the
entertainment world.
I think she shed tears only to gain smpathy from the viewers, especially
from male.
I sincerely hope that the press conferece would be her once in a lifetime
and the last performance, acting as a miserable, poor defendant.
The whole drug incident and the following media coverage is just so disturbing.
It's just the punk couple pickled with drugs.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Broadcasters should stop playing that stupid 'Blue Rabbit'song,which
only boots sales of the CD, and use the entire air time for more meaningful things!

As you can all tell, I am very mad about the drug incidents!

>>217 Is it the unfairness/injustice that you are angry with?
or that the act of self determined intoxication?
or the fact that such behaviour is a bad example?
or the fact that people use such scandals to boost their sales?
or the media which hypes up such incidents?
or the people who exaggerate a simple crime?

>>218
Obviously, all of the above, as you expected, LOL!
Thanx very much for sorting out my anger~~
You must be a professor at a collage, teaching MA students
how to write good papers!
Cheers!!

>>219 when angry, sometimes it helps to break down the big ball of
anger into smaller parts.

if you can determine the exact points, you might be able to deal with
them one by one

Writing them down, looking at them, thinking of what to do about them and
having a great big laughter afterwarwards is the best.

thank you, i am not a prof, just a blue rabbit (don't shoot me please LOL)

>>213
I know what you mean, but you know, a lot of times,
plainclothes detectives look more Yakuza than the real Yakuzas.
So when criminals are caught and taken to a police station,
it is usually hard to tell who are bad guys and who are good guys.

>>221
That's very true.
When I had a break-in before, a couple detectives came to my house
and I seriously thought they were yakuza.

>>220
Thanx blue rabbit for the good advice!
It will probably make my life easier.
I hope you'll keep on posting in this thread!

>>223 thanks, I didn't mean to sound as if giving advice. after all
i m just a blue rabbit. i stare at the car headlghts hoping not to be
killed. which reminds me of...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jl1bUqNKdfY&feature=fvw

>>224
Gee, thanx for the cool video.
This is not as cool or exotic, but headlights remind me of
this tune; One headlight by Wild flowers.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLqOwiZ8n5I&feature=PlayList&p=19C321961C7BF3D5&index=14

A bit odd, but headlights also reminds me of this tune;
Headlights taillights, by Nakajima Miyuki.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AauVuuhmyHk

This was the ending tune of a TV program called Project X, in which
corporate warriors in the Showa high economic growth period were
introduced quite emotionally.
And this tune somehow very well matched with the program.

I also like the ending tune of Inside the Actors Studio.

>>211
I think she is mistaken the severity of her crime for what Kusanagi Tsuyoshi did
a while ago.
The general public sympathized with Kusanagi for what he did, because
any one of us could have done something very similar, that is why
he came back to the entertainment business right after the press conference.

But in her case, there is no way the general public can relate to what she did.
She seems to be underestimating her crime and does not seem to have true remorse.

Because...I was stomachache.

>>228
You are stomachache?
So you are.......hated by everyone, aren't you?

>>228
Oh, excuse me, I know you "were" stomachache.
Then, you are not stomachache now.
It means.......you have been transformed into something.
It must have been an extremely difficult challenge, I suppose.
But you have done. It's good for you.

So......................what are you now?

>>198-200
Thanx. I got it. you desrve a reward!

>>231
Welcome. So, how much is it?

>>232
Oh no, I thought you would say like "a thanx will do"

Don't get your panties in a bunch over a small thing like a stomachache,
just eat some natto and take better care of yourself, okay?

Thank you for the kind gesture, but I enjoyed giving the explanation.

>>234
But being stomachache is not a small thing.
I am not and don't want to be stomachache.
And I care about someone who said "I was stomachache."
I very much wonder what he is now.
Anyway, I love natto and eat it every day.

>>234
hahaha. natto for life.

>>236
hey, thats nice of you.
hopefully we meet again someday.

Mochiron, I enjoy coming to these boards very much. It's interesting
to read what Japanese people write about anonymously.

Most of Japanese think Tako is adorable creature and its dish is Japanese Cuisine.
But I hear Westerners call Tako devil fish.
I don't understand why they hate Tako.
They don't know how delicious it is.

I understand you don't want to keep Tako as a pet.
You don't have to take a walk with Tako.(If you did, Japanese would think the two of you were cute)

Just eat Tako and start a new life!

>>240
You'd better not eat adorable creatures.

>>241
You'd better eat up devil fish to create a heaven on the earth.

>>242
It's a good idea.
But if we eat up all Takos on the earth, the world is not necessarily a heaven.
Because we can no longer eat the adorable creature. We can not be happy.

ANGEL or DEVIL, that is not a question.
DELICIOUS or BAD-TASTING, that is a question.

As for Nori-P, 2channers say "cuteness is justice". As much as I understand how silly
that sounds, I think it holds the truth in real life. After all, life is full of unreason.
Plus, as long as the masses want to see her on TV and such, there will be some
sort of business that gives her a second or even third chance in the industry anyway.
Personally, I would like to see her playing a role as a yakuza's wife.

>>244
You stupid.
The problem is whether Takos should be dead or alive.
If Takos are all dead, the world is a heaven but we are not happy.
If Takos are alive, the world is a hell but we are happy.
What can we do with this desperate discremination?

Why you are so poor is a question I can't find an answer to.

>>245
I heard that someone has already contacted her and offered a leading
role in a movie.
I also heard a different person contacted her to publish a book on
her life so far.
It's so ironic that this drug case made those money mongers realize
how popular Nori-P is, although she had been a person of the past.

I'm into Star Wars now (So late!).
Which episode do you guys like best?
And which character?

So far, I like Episode 2, the clone...best!

>>249
I like return of jedai best. R2D2 is my favorite character.

R2D2 seems to be very popular.
Why? Do you know?
I think Master Yoda is cuter, haha~~

Once you see the movie, you will fall into dark side.

NW!
Master Yoda will come rescue us!
He is our hero!

Yoda's English is something strange. isn't it?
But they can understand. Do you know why?

The reason why I do not know.

What we don't know?

That Star Wars started from episode 4.
The reason why noone knows.

Episode 4 very much I like.

Even funnier R2D2 speaks.

Speaking of movies, does anyone here like The Matrix?
I think I've seen the first one about 20 times.
Is it popular in Japan?

>>260
It is. Kids back then imitate the way Kiane fend off a bullet by bending
backward.

>>261
I remember seeing people do that too. I've never seen anybody pull it off. It's impossible, unless you're some sort of illusionist... or creepy flexible person.
I'm a huge fan of Keanu Reeves, mostly because he's Canadian, and successful Canadian actors are rare.
My dad played actually hockey against him as a kid, lol. I think he was a goalie.

Wanna be the biggest dreamer!

I just find this thread.
I feel very wakwak.
But I can not wright correctry by English becaus of my studyless.

Please tell me how much point I can get in TOEIC ?

nobody knows such a thing.

but you can try a mock examination on Internet or something like a software for PC or Console machine.

They say a woman's tears are dishonest and crafty.
I have a feeling Nori-P might fool us.
Does she think Japanese people so foolish?

>>265
Thank you !
I know such a examination.
But I am glad that I take a communication by only English, this is my first action since I was born.
Please perdon my poor English.

Chink?
What does it mean?

>>267
Your poor English is very easy to understand for me(Japanese).
Because your English is Japaneseish.
You Japanese, Me Japanese and we can communicate in Japaneseish English.

Are you so glad?

In what English conversation school are many beautiful woman instructors registered?

I don't want to receive English lesson by nobody but a beautiful woman instructor.

These days, you can see the photos of instructors on the web so
before you pay hefty money you can check what they are like?

What kind of English school are you talking about?
One on one lesson? Online lesson? Conventional brick and motor English
conversation school?

>>272
Whatever suites to my level is Okay.
My TOEIC score is 800.

IMO, what the instructor looks like shouldn't matter. If you only want to
learn English to meet women, that's wrong. Any girl who speaks English
will be VERY offended and your strategy will backfire. If you're looking
for a good teacher, make sure to ask them what certifications they have.
A lot of English teachers in Japan don't even have a degree in English or
teaching! So be very careful and make sure they are qualified before
you sign up for any classes.

Besides, once you can speak English, you can meet beautiful women much
more easily : ) I think Japanese women are far more beautiful, but if you
prefer Westerners, it's better if you can speak their language. I have
heard that even Japanese women like men who can speak English, too. So
maybe learning another language is a bonus either way?

>>266

>>276
I hope you are only trolling.
She was obviously just faking it!
That press conference could have been a very heart-braking occasion for
both herself and us, BUT, it turned out that no one was moved by her
explanation, because she was just faking it.
TV can show the very truth.

>>276
She tried but failed to deceive us, only proving she is a second-rate actress.

I don't understand English at all so let me post in Japanese.
Do you guys think if I lurk here and read all posts, does that help me improve my English?
Are all posters here foreigners?

>>281
I think probably most of the posters here are Japanese but sometimes you can
see a post by foreigners. Why don't you join us? Just one or two line in
one post with the help of your dictionary might improve your English.

>>282
I'm Japanese. I sometimes post a line originally from a Hollywood movie although
I give such a line a twist.

>>284
I'd say the ratio is 50/50.
I'm always amazed by the English proficiency of Japanese posters here.
(In my case, I feel difficulty writing in English whenever I try to post here in English.)

I think this thread is helpful for foreigners in Japan and overseas who are interested in things
Japanese but doesn't have a good command of Japanese to get some info about Japan.
---
I don't go easy on >>283. Some adult English learners say the same thing as
283, things like "I'm just a biggner." or "I don't understand English at all."
To me, they are just making excuses for their laziness when they were a students.
When almost all Japanese people learn English for 6 years, how can they
say they are just a beginner or things like that? It's just they didn't study hard at all
back then. What you learn at school is very important and if you don't understand what
you're supposed to learn at that time, I'd say there are no possibilities you'll be fluent in
English later on.

what is

Are you a foreigner?

OYAJI-LADY is a lady who is pretending a OYAJI.
LADY-OYAJI is an OYAJI who is pretendig a LADY.

As for me, I am a straight OYAJI.

i am a foreigner, but i am not foreign to myself :-D

Dont sweat it. Gaijin is not like a F-word. I saw the souvenirs printed with "Gaijin" in Roppongi.

>>301
Thank you very much. You are so nice.
I didn't know there are so many nice people like you in this notorious 2chan.
I really enjoyed chatting with you today. I must go to bed(technically, futon set) now.

I love Nori-P.

When Nori-P takes a drug, she evolves into Rari-P.
It's like Pica-chu changes to Rai-chu, if you know what I mean.

Gaijin is a good person who has a different background.
So you must not evaluate him on a first contact.
You should wait for another or more chances.

Japanese who uses the word Gaijin has an inferiority complex and hostile feelings against foreigners.

>>307 i have lie dmany countries and every single country has
people who dislike foreigners.

>>303 Oyasumi, best wishes.

>>308 "lived", sorry.

We often regard "Jap" as insult word.
Actually that is insult word although some foreigners do not know it.

In my opinion, "Gaijin" is not insult word at all.
There is no intention of insult.

But I don't know whether I am the same as some foreigners who do not know that.

I know some foreigners really hate to be called "Gaijin".
Please tell me the reason why.

>>305
I love Rai-Chu, though.

>>311 I have no idea, I havenever lived in Japan so I do not know what is
an insult, what is not. In the UK they call us "bloody foreigner"s,
and there are are specific insults for different nationalities.

Foreigners who hate being called "Gaijin" may just want us to treat them normally, not too much formally.
Or they just want respects.

Don't call Master Yoda a foreigner.
In fact he is not at all a foreigner.
He lives in everyone's heart.
He is a part of yourself!
Peace!

Rapi-P is very foreign to us but she is in all of us, too.

>>316
What do you mean she is in all of us?
You must be from 'Dark Side', LOL~~

I suppose He or She want to say that "She exists in everyone's mind".

However I don't know this meaning.

i am from the other side...
I communicate via the internet.
the internet, is the realm of the dead.

Did you know?
The dead can't speak.
Dead men tell no lies [tales].
Dead dogs bark not.
Dead men don't bite.

Deaf men go away with the blame.

If I were the dead, I would say something fluently.

and dead women... they don't care

Glad you are alive.

they don't cook either...

>Deaf men go away with the blame.

On second thought, alive men usually don't bite either, do they?
very strange saying, this is.

>>323 I neither care nor cook...

>>326
but, do you bite?

>>326 I might do.

I think this is another form of Rari-P.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsRzlzDCL9I

>>329
You caught me, lol.
Such a happy moment.

>>316
You're right. But I'd rather say, Slim Shady is in all of us because
Slim Shady in her told her to evolve into Rari-P.

Rari-P is basically Cyber Nori-P, which is Nori-P under the influence.
I don't think they are the same unless Slim Shady is a substance you can take, but
if the result is the same, then it doesn't make much of a difference, I'd think.

>>311
I think some people find it insulting because of what it implies when translated back to English.
Gaikokujin = (literally)outside-country-person
That doesn't sound bad, right? Because it's true. A foreigner is from outside of the country.
Gaijin = Outsider
That has a bit of a bad connotation when translated back to English. "Outsider" usually gives off the feeling of "you're not welcome here" to english speakers.
So I guess I can see where they're coming from.

I don't mind being called Gaijin. :)
Although no one ever called me one to my face while I was in Japan.lol.

Some foreigners here in Japan do not like the word Gaijin because it translates
into "outsider". For some people who have lived here for many years and
married Japanese people, this feels very hurtful. This is why they dislike being
called gaijin. Personally, I don't care if people call me gaijin or not while I
live here. Perhaps I would feel differently if I chose to spend the rest
of my life here. There are some things about living here that I do
not like, but being called a silly name is not one of them.

>>333
LTNH (long time no hear) kera!
Thanx for the post.

It reminds me of the usage of 'stranger' in English.
English speakers call the other person 'stranger' sometimes as in
'Hi stranger!' for example, even if they know each other for a while.
The same could be done with Gaijin.

>>333
Thx.

Your explanation is so comprehensible.

Japan is often called "a closed-off village society".
So 外人 implys よそ者(outsider of the village).
Village folk are kind of harsh with outsiders.

Japanese people may be friendly to Gaijin.
But when it comes to 「国益(national interests)」, Japanese put their interests above the friendship.
Japanese even apply double standards on foreigners.
The double standards are hard to die because it's invisible.

I'm a Japanese, however, I feel like I'm a foreigner in Japan.
Many Japanese call me odd-ball. I can't blend in the village.（泣）

>>337
How come you are calle odd-ball?
Is it because your balls are odd for some reason?

>>334
Thx

BTW, Are you living in Japan?

The term 'gaijin' has a good connotation as well depending on the context it's used in.
For instance, 外人っぽい, which could be translated as "look like a gaijin", usually means
someone looks exotic in a positive way. Of course, this only applies to Japanese people,
and you can use it sarcastically to describe someone unusually unattractive but that's another story..
Anyway, it is based on a positive stereotype of gaijin being good looking.

>>334
That's also true...
Maybe even if a gaikokujin has lived in japan for 10+ years and speaks fluently and has a japanese family...
If he walks into a place where people don't know him, he will still will be considered gaijin. >.>

>>335
Hai, hisashiburi :)
'Stranger' is a similar example, but it doesn't really have the negative meaning anymore. xD
Calling someone a 'stranger' isn't rude, but it's considered a compliment if someone says 'you're no stranger to us!'
Isn't that right?

>>336
You're very welcome!

>>337
Hmmm, that's an interesting perspective.
Come over to California, everyone is weird here! xD

>>340
Woah, I've never heard of such a thing! Thanks for the info!
Hm, so it really depends on how it's used.

>>338
My ball? Do you mean my 金玉?
They are a bite larger than average size for Japanese.
But are beautiful! No odd at all.

>>341
>has lived in japan for 10+ years

How do you read "10+" in this sentense?

I thought "ten and more" or is it just "ten plus"? Or "more than ten"?

>>343
Dead men don't bite.

>>344
I would say 'ten plus'.
If I want to say 'ten or more' or 'ten and counting', then I would write it out. :)
Hope that helps

I am living in Japan now, yes. As I wrote, gaijin doesn't bother me,
though I see why it would bother others. I have met a lot of other
foreigners here, many who speak fluent Japanese, married to Japanese
people who even have Japanese children who still feel that they are
treated as outsiders here. I feel badly for them, but I simply take their
experience as a warning and hope to move back to America soon. IMO,
I can't understand why they choose to stay here if their lives are so
difficult.

>>347
uh..mmm...could you give us a hint as to what is so difficult about
living in Japan?

>>346
Ah, thank you. One more thing. If you say "10+," 10 is included?

>>349
Yu could also say 'ten+' if you wanted, I suppose, but '10+' just looks better. x)

"Gaijin" is a shortened form of "Gaikokujin".
In Japan, when you are called by a shortened form, you are slighted.

>>347
Maybe because it would be more difficult for them to live back home.

i.e. Loosers!!!

>>350
I wanted to ask you "10+" means 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,... or
"10+" means 11, 12, 13, 14,.......

Whether 10 is included or not when you say or write "10+".

>>353
No, I didn't mean that.
Those who have kids in school over here would hesitate to move back, for example.

>>354
Oh! I see, sorry!
Yes, "10+" generally means "10, 11, 12, 13,...ect."

>>347
I feel badly??

I love Japan because here I'm a giant. I feel like Megatron.

I am Megatron.

Are you fat or tall?

>>359
Tall! Megatron isn't fat! Megatron does pilates!

>>356
Now I understand! Thank you.

>>358
lol, why Megatron and not Optimus Prime?

www.youtube.com/user/Pixiepop123

>>362
Megatron is the Samuel L. Jackson of Transformers. Optimus Prime is the Reese Witherspoon of Transformers.

>>357
Maybe, his tactile organs are failing to function.

>>351
At first, I am a Japanese.

Indeed, we sometimes use "Gaijin" in that way as shortened form.
The Japanese usually don't intend to slight foreigner when using "Gaijin".

I suppose that is cause of misunderstanding each other.

>>366
As long as the person saying it isn't purposefully insulting me, I don't mind.
It's still rude, though, at least in my opinion, and there should be more awareness in regards to racial tolerance.

"Japs" is not racist, just a nickname for Japanese people:)

www.youtube.com/user/Pixiepop123

>>367
But in the country where you are from, how would people refer to
someone whose name you don't know?
Don't you refert to them as e.g. 'the asian' if that person has the
look of asian?
Gaijin is similar, only the difference is it covers broader ethnicities.

Japanese don't refer to Chinese or Korean as "Gaijin".

>>369
In a way, yes, but it doesn't imply that they don't belong in the culture. "Asian" has no association with the word "outsider".
It just means that they're Canadians whose background is Asian. It would usually only be used to describe appearance for clarification.
And Canada houses many ethnicities, so I'm often referred to as the "white" guy. Doesn't mean I'm an outsider... means I fit the stereotypical characteristics of a white guy.

Naming a person's background is a lot different than calling them a foreigner... But I'm rambling.

If you come to Japan and you don't feel the country is foreign to you, then you are Japanese. It's okay.

>>371
I think you've raised a very good point!

The word Gaijin has lost the sense or meaning of 'outsiders'.
It just means that the person doesn't have a look of a Japanese person.
So the word only refers to the external appearance of the person.
I think that is why, sometimes we don't call Koreans or Chinese, Gaijin,
because they look similar to us.
In fact, when we think of a word Gaijin, we usually imaging someone white people,
who LOOK very different from Japanese.
We have absolutely no intention to alienate them.

>>373
That's a fair point. And I think it makes me realize just how badly some words get lost in translation.
And I think it brings us back to the whole idea of misunderstanding.
Like you said, it has lost the "outsider" meaning to the Japanese... but perhaps not to the Westerners themselves.
Perhaps people could just be a little more conservative with the usage of the word.
But there are two sides to the coin. Foreigners, me in particular, perhaps shouldn't be as sensitive to it, lol.

Thank you for the explanation, by the way.

>>337
You're exactly right.
All Japanese are inferiority personified.
They always have hostile feelings against foreigners potentially.

>>375
Go back to Dark Side!

Transform back to Nori-P! (｀･ω･´) ｼｬｷｰﾝ

>>375
You are prick twat jerk nerd prat nutter pimp hooker slut plague freak delusional disorder hyped-up old jink

>>383

lol

I feel like I'm a real idiot.
In Japan, we are in the middle of 5 consecutive holidays.
Some people travel, some people go on a picnic.

All I do is just fapping, which is what I spend some time doing on usual days.
I myself think I should do something different on holiday, especially on a long
holidays like this, but I end up doing rubbing my dick like a crazy monkey.
I think I'm less than a monkey.

>>386
>I think I'm less than a monkey.

Yes you are, because a monkey only rubbs his dick,
but you are posting in the 2CH thread on top of it, lol

I wanna be a white Canadian, too. Anybody know how?

>>386
If you are a native speaker of English, you are definitely an idiot.

But if you are Japanese who is learning English, you are a sage.
Because almost all Japanese can't write comprehensible English.

I can imagine clearly the scene that you are jerking off too much on holidays beside a monkey is exhausted from jerking off.

Oh yeah, send him to outer space 'cause it's a nearly perfect vacuum there.

>>390
Don't be so hard on him.
He is Japanese who practices writing English.
And he just chose a suitable topic for 2chan.

English speaking Japanese are hard to find and are valuable assets of our society.
We will not send them outer space.

I found the word "rape fantasy" in the Wikipedia.
Is the word "rape fantasy" used generally?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_fantasy

Sincerely

Someone please call a surgeon to crack my ribs
and repair this broken heart
that you're deserting
for better company.

you don't need a surgeon, just call me and be my aikido training partner.
I will crack most of your bones without hesitation...

I love coffee.<3

>>388
Watch hockey and buy yourself a nice wool toque. And then jump off of a bridge.

>>393
I don't understand...
She is changing her current job to a new job.
Is this why you are hurt?
Are you the president of her current company?

>>396
I love coffee too.
But I've had ulcer in my mouth for a couple of days.
What should I do?

>>399
That's tough! Life without coffee is like fish without water, it's dire, miserable.:<
But I think you could use a few more days off and start back slowly, for your own sake.
Just imagine how fantastic your coffee will taste in a clear and healed mouth.
You'll be in heaven soon.<3

I love coffee too.

Coffee makes me feel relaxed and gives me inspirations.
It's essential for making Japanese jokes(You might say it's not funny).

Strangely enough, It never affects my sleeping habit.
I drink about 8 cups of black coffee a day.
I consider myself a strong coffee drinker.

Instant coffee is widely accepted in the Japan.
How about in your country?

not
in the Japan
but
in Japan

Sorry.

not
a strong coffee drinker
but
a strong caffeine drinker

Sorry.
I drink 5 cups of green tea as well.

>>401
I don't like coffee, but I drink a lot of coke, which has a lot of caffeine too.
When I don't drink it I'm always tired and miserable. So I need it. It's a bad habit.
But I just love it too much. Om nom nom nom.

>>395
Wow. An HD quality video is cruel. She can't hide wrinkles and sagging skin

Rough translation:
As a person, I want to be nice and I want to be a responsible adult in society, which
I'm not completely sure I act like that.
I've been given special treatment from people around me because I'm a person
in show business. I don't like being treated that way. I didn't want to
be spoiled because of the special treatment. I used to counter those special
treatment with insolent attitude.

Now that I'm grown-up, I know the special treatments comes from people's
sheer good will but still, I don't like such special treatment to me.
I want to show difiance toward such special treatments even if I loook
insolent.

>>394
Isn't Aikido for self-difence? Plus, as far as I know, there're no
punches and kicks involved in Aikido so there's no such a thing as breaking
ribs. Aikido is all about bending joints such as wrists and elbows in reverse direction, isn't it?

I don't drink coffee, I take tea, my dear...

Reminds me of イギリス人.
Where has he been?
Hope he is keeping his hats collection alright.

There's nothing better than tea when you're sick, or when it's cold out.
I've never really had coffee though. All I know is that I can't stand the smell.

>>405
Don't worry about wrinkles and sagging skin.
Sizable young men feel it mellow.

I heard the Great Ichro loves mature women.
It gives him a human touch. He is not a highly sophisticated machine at all.
And it really relieves me(凡才).

>>407
Do you drink tea with maple syrup in it?

>>408
Watch this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHyU8ukVvCo
Some people love old women although they are all comedians and making
their preference for old women public is just to make audience laugh.

>>409
Thank you. I watched the vedio.
But, >just to make audience laugh?
I can't believe it.

>>409
I sure do. And sometimes the Eskimos bring me baby seal meat to eat along with it.

>>411
And I'm sure you live in a huge log cabin.
Sometimes you feed grizzly bears you see around your cabin.

>>412
Exactly! But those aren't grizzly bears, they're Russians.
They come into our houses at night and kill us as we sleep, stealing our syrup and hockey sticks and taking them back to Russia.
It's a big problem over here. I should set some traps.

Sounds horrible. You should be on alert all night wearing a ice hockey's
goalie's protective gears.

I'm sure nothing can beat hot tea you drink under northern lights at
freezing cold night.

Do you have any idea how I can receive English lesson from nobody but a beautiful woman instructor?

Why does it have to be a woman? If she is unqualified to teach you proper
English, you will sound like a fool.

I don't mind if I sound like a fool.
It's essential for me that the instructor is a beautiful woman.

It's essential for you to go to hospital.
Everybody here thinks so.
Go!

Really? You're funny : )
Why is it essential that the instructor be a woman?
Is that the only way you can pay attention in class?

It's a shame, there aren't any beautiful native English speaking women in
Japan. The only beautiful women here are Japanese. So you should
give up your dream of finding a beautiful woman instructor, it is an
impossible dream.

>>422
You have eyes problem, or you are a racist.

How could I be racist? I am white, and simply stating my honest opinion.
I have yet to see a foreign woman in Japan who can compete with a
Japanese woman, especially if they are English teachers. This doesn't
mean there aren't any beautiful western women, I'm only saying I
haven't seen any in Japan.

>>424
Don't you have what's called yellow fever? No insult involved.

>>424
There are a lot of beautiful native English speaking women in
Japan. But you haven't seen them.
Is this what you mean?

No, yellow fever is only a concern for those with Y chromosomes, I have
natural immunity.

No, i mean I have yet to see a beautiful white woman in Japan who is
staying here for longer than a visit.

Please tell us what world you are in.

>>428
That's strange.
I'm Japanese and I've seen a lot of beautiful white women who are staying long in Japan.

Where would that be?

Videos and magazines don't count.

Even in 2chan, I can see a lot of beautiful native English speaking women.
My sense detects beauty.

I can also see lots of beautiful Japanese women, of course.
Their English are really beautiful unlike mine.

What a beautiful answer!
You have really touched my heart : )

You still didn't answer my question, though.
Where are these beautiful foreign women in Japan?

>>435
I did.
Your sense is different from mine.
You can't see what I can see. That's all.

Good night.

Good sight.

Good luck with your beautiful English women.

Almost all Japanese don't have their own sense of values,
and they are compliant to the mass media which publish something like ranking.

Everybody has own beauty, I believe.

Beauty is eternal and easily recognizable by any human, regardless of
nationality.
A rose is a rose, by any name.

Tako is Tako, by any name.
But once you name it devil fish, people begin to hate it. I feel strange.

We Japanese love Tako. Do you know the term 「引っ張りだこ」?
Tako is a symbol of popularity.

Is participating in this thread effective for second stage of EIKEN exam?

At least, not effective for TOEIC.

This chat is really just for conversation, not TOEIC. If you have any
questions, though, I am sure there would be people here willing to help.

>>446
but that's just your opinion.

What other opinion could I give?

Basically, TOEIC doesn't have writing and speaking section. That's true, not opinion.
On the other hand, EIKEN tests your conversational skills.

Let me add that Tako is also a symbol of stupidity.
"黙れタコ" or "うるせータコ" is a common phrase that is often used to curse someone out, which means "Shut up, Tako."
Considering that Tako's don't speak in general, however, it's kind of weird to utter these, but you'll get the idea.
"Tako" is a quite useful one for name calling and you could combine it with various types of verbal insults, too.

Should be "is quite a useful one".

So Tako is popular used phrase.

It smells like Ika.

It looks like you.

Tako came out on my year.

I came out from タコ部屋.

Thank you for the information about the TOEIC. I'm afraid I am
a little confused about exactly what they test you on, though.
If they don't test your skills in spoken and written English, what do
they test you on? Comprehension? What?

TOEIC test is designed to measure all English Language ability except for speaking and writing.

Ah.............
What a very unique test!
It sounds so useful.
Writing and speaking a language is not really very important, right?
When you see an English speaker, you can simply use hand gestures to
communicate.
wwwww

>>457
They test your guess ability.　It's a completely multiple-choice test.
I don't believe in TOEIC though a huge number of Japanese people believe in TOEIC.

So which test is best?

What is "guess ability"?
Are you referring to comprehension?

EIKEN is better but not best. Best test doesn't exsit in Japan.
That's why I came here.

TOEIC explicitly defines what level of Tako you are currently at in terms of English proficiency.
It's very important to know who you are, that is.

>>462
I mean hunch, inspiration, not comprehension.

Yes, I see that TOEIC is very useful! Speaking and writing a
language are very inefficient ways to communicate, so it's very useless
to test on things like that.
It's much better to test someone on an "English proficiency" that does
not exist.

Now this is where Ika comes in, people.
Let yourselves go and go Ika without any fear of smelling bad!!!

Do you respect a Tako wearing black belt?
It might be cute though.

I prefer Taco, not Tako.

Mmmmmm......taco.............

I am still looking for good Mexican food in Tokyo.
No such thing.

I prefer Ika to Tako in sushi restaurant.

They only serve boiled Tako in sushi restraurant,don't they?
I don't like boiled one.

Ika is best when served chill as sushi or sashimi, let alone cooked with other ingredients.
Basically, that is what Tako lacks when it comes to testing the balance and ease of preparation.

I wonder how old most of the people on this thread are............

Now I understand that TOEIC is (T)ak(O) (E)nglish for (I)nternational (C)ommunication.
Good night!

well the songs you sung spiraled
and hung round like echoes
or ripples on a pond

so you circled the globe
spent a year on the road
without ever going home

more than a couple of days
then you'd leave right away
run to a girl you barely know

but you like how she sings
and you can't help but think
that there's something that she knows and could teach you

>>473
Fresh Tako are too sticky with those whatchamacallit, sticky round thing!

while you're sleeping in that southern state
where the bars are filled with people
you can't hate

but try as you try
you still can't relate to them
and you drink that whiskey down
as they ask you "Are you who you say that you are?"
the fact that you can't tell makes us like you even more

so now you're trying again
or just visiting friends
one that just had his heart broke

for the first time in his life
he realized there are times
when you can't make it alone

but now you're giving advice
as if you had the right
to use a word like "love"

no, no it's a negotiable term
what gets said is not what's heard
so it's different then for everyone

but you been hanging around
that college town
with your new life your new lover you've found

and you're keeping her up at night
bringing her down
she'll watch you drink yourself to death
but won't ask you "Is this really what you want?"
Is it really what you want?

I love Ika.

Every day I see the same woman on her balcony,
she is a little strange.
She waits there and smokes her cigarettes, with her short blond hair
and listens to her headphones.
I wonder what she thinks of?

I wonder if she ever sleeps.

>>482
She's probably thinking "Why is that man staring at me?"

Now that I'm back in college, I can post to these threads again.

I'm taking a chemistry course, a linguistics course, and a Japanese
course. The last one is the one everyone's the most interested in,
right? Ha ha.

The teacher's an old man with white hair and a thick accent. He's very
fun. He's got a weird energy to him. It's kind of hard to describe.

He started out class by asking us if we knew any Japanese words.
Immediately, someone at the other side of the class yelled out,
"Nintendo!" Everyone laughed. Later, he wrote the actual symbols for
Nintendo on the board, and you could feel a ripple of "oh no" run
through the room. The relief once he told us we didn't have to
remember that just yet was palpable.

Once he started teaching us, though, he hammered stuff into our heads
really fast. Hito, yama, kawa, te, mizu, hi, tsuki, ki, moto. Jin,
san, sen, shu, sui, ni/nichi, gatsu/getsu, moku, hon. Bam bam bam. My
head's still spinning. He said we didn't really have to remember any
of this, either--he was just explaining that there were Japanese and
Chinese pronunciations--but still, it's making the class look kind of
daunting.

>>482
I don't find anything strange about her.
Do you mean she is ALL NAKED and smoking on a balcony, listening to
her headphones or somethin'?

I love coffee.<3

I dont like coffee.

>>485
Although I don't know you, welcome back!
May I ask one question?

What part of the world are you from?
I'm ashamed to tell you, but the name of your country isn't familiar to me.

I like Ika.

Probably, Ika doesn't like you.

Guys, how do you make a living?

Gotta change my answering machine
now that I'm alone
coz right now it says that we can't come to the phone
And I know it makes no sense
coz you walked out the door
but it's the only way I hear your voice any more

>>489
Don't worry about it so much, not understanding where he is from isn't your fault!
Americans have no concept of being polite and courteous to foreigners in regard of location. They expect you to know what every state in the USA but most don't even know the same about any other country.

Bay Area is somewhere in the USA.

Good poem for English learners like me.

>>494
Thank you for the explanation. I got it.
Just like I'm 窓際おじさん.;)

Sort of rare not to know where Bay Area is, but that could happen to just about anybody.
FYI, he's been hanging out here for pretty long.

I wonder which is correct, "just got me stuck" or "this got me stuck".
Something tells me "just" is correct, but I'm not sure.

>>497
See? they will call you stupid for not knowing the geography of the USA down to state level!

What are you talking about? He's from Osaka Bay Area. Just chill.

Oh, The home of Tako-yaki!

In your country, Tako is devil.
In my country, Tako is angel.

Dou you know a phrase「食べちゃいほど可愛い」?

I agree.
Bay Area without an article can be any area near a bay,
however, if it was written as The Bay Area, doesn't that mean
SF Bay Area?

just like any seat near a window.

Do you soak up a seat near a window?

All he can do is enjoying the view from the window.
It disgraces him and leads to his voluntarily resignation.
The 窓際族 is pitiful.

>>493
I think you should submit a missing person report to the police.
Actually in Japan, the author of a comic amination called Kureyon Shinchan
had left home and never come back.
So the family reported that to the police and they found that
the cartoonist was dead by falling off of a cliff.

Something similar might have happend to your room mate.

room mate?
I thought he was her lover who had left her.

I guess you guys here don't have ability to write problem statements
which are on the TOEIC test.

>>509
Lover or significant other, that is the question.

Powerful or impotent, that is the question.

yeah, that's important.

Are you that lady?

TOEIC score is required in my company.

I need ability, not score. TOEIC is worthless, impotent for me.
It doesn't test me on my skills of writing.

Your English ability isn't really that bad, you know. It's just a little
stiff and unnatural. If I may give you some help, this sentence would be
a little more natural: I want to speak and write English naturally.
I really dislike the TOEIC because being multiple choice, it doesn't
really test my writing proficiency.

I read today that 1 in 4 Japanese women is now 65 and older.
I guess Japanese men have to learn to love older women now.....
Ouch!

>>518
Remember Kamenashi and Kyon2?
Their age difference is something like 20yrs.
I advise that you learn the hip-swinging dancing and try to become like Kamenashi, then you will be
able to find someone like Kyon2!

What if you don't like older women?

>>520
Then find younger ones.

>>405 thanks for the translation. Do Japanese men have a phobia against wrinkles or sagging skin?
To give that sort of response you must have had very negative views of the elderly.
Besides this woman is 43, not even old, she is middle aged. How people expect a celebrity to
stay the same is what exactly drives the cosmetics industry. Don't you think it is cruel?
I think she is human like everyone else, not a vampire so she should be allowed to age and sag.
She looks gorgeous the way she is!
I wonder why she says she needs to act more adult like, I cannot see why she isnt already acting
like one. I wonder what she says has anything to her beloved Kamenashi.
Re: aikido is a defense art, yes there is a special technique for kicking and punching. when i
find a video on the net i will show you.

>>414 the character is so cute!

>>519 yes Johnny's |Entertainment should open up courses on how to seduce
women. Lessons should include:

Hip swinging
Sexy dancing
Striptease
Backflips
Flying in the air
Rolling on the floor as if on heat (or had too much wasabi)
And how to be super, super cute...


Then if all men turn into ikemen,..
That would be a dream but Johhny's could be out of business

It's true, most women love boys from Johnny's. Personally, I find
nothing more erotic than watching men rolling on the floor as though
they're on fire.

Sarcasm is a unique western humor.

>>517
Thank you very much for the advice.
I know my English is barely communicable level. I have a lot of things to want to write here but I have difficulties in writing English.
It's just like using chopsticks with the non-dominant hand.

And my Japanese is also stiff and old-style, ha-ha.
Ms.Wonderful, if you are Japanese, you are a goddess to me.

Clearly, you are an American/English woman?

I'm an ordinary and old Japanese man who is studying English.

You're very welcome.
As I wrote, your English is just fine. As long as you are willing to
study hard, I feel that you can make great strides in your English
communication skills. I wish you luck and if there is anything I can
help you with, please do not hesitate to ask.
I am afraid I am not Japanese, but that's quite alright. as I have no
aspirations for godhood.
I am quite happy to be an American.

Thank you again!

You wrote there are things that you would like to write about here?
You should go ahead and write them. If your English is imperfect, I
will help you, if you'd like.

I'd like to write about Japanese culture, however, it's very complicated topic.
We Japanese can communicate each other almost without words.
So it's hard to explain the culture to foreign people.

Yes, that is true.
Still, it must be very sad to be unable to communicate.
I think that the more difficult something is, the greater the joy will
be when you have succeeded.
So, if you truly wish to communicate with foreigners in Japan, do not
give up.

Recently, I wrote something about Tako.
It's sad Tako is called devil fish in English speaking countries.

I'm going to study hard but I'm a regular worker so I don't have much time to study English.
I wish I could be a fluent English speaker as to be able to explain my culture easily.

That's true. Japanese companies are quite different from American.
Unfortunately, it is going to be very difficult to become a fluent
English speaker. However, if you never try, it is certain you will fail.
Therefore, if you really do want to study English, you must devote your
free time to it. Try to make friends with foreigners, if you live in Tokyo,
this should be easy. Come to 2chan and ask questions of native speakers,
buy English music and sing along to the words. All of these methods
can be used in your spare time and they can improve your English immensely.

I must admit, I live in Tokyo and have never eaten Tako fish. Does it
taste good? I ate horse sashimi the other day, but it was a little
tough. The meat was a bit dry and stringy for my taste. I prefer
tuna and octopus.

According to Wikipedia, the devil fish is endangered. If you were
wondering why Americans don't eat it, that's why. It would be like
you eating a deer from Nara or a panda bear.

Thank you for the encouragement.
English language is very difficult for Japanese people, actually.

My little daughter who studys English in middle school (but has difficulties studying English) always says,"I am really happy to be a Japanese because Japanese is easy".
Now I am enjoying to be here and feel my English is improving. Thank you, all of you.

Hmm....yes. I have heard this many times from Japanese people.
I am trying to learn Japanese myself, so I can understand your
daughter's feelings.
Perhaps it is so difficult simply because our communication styles are
different?

Hey!watup?

>>538
Actually, those deer from Nara are far from being extinct.
They are spoiled by the Deer-sembei fed by tourists and
the deer attack the tourists when they can't get the sembei.
Those deers are violent and dangerous, expecially those with
antlers.

>>540
I agree with you.
My daughter might say, " Today is rainning(It's rainning today)".
Only Japanese would understand the meaning.

Learning English is getting more and more important in Japan.

>>540
One reason is because Japanese has 5 vowels but English has about 15 of them,
which makes you guys easy to pronounce Japanese words.
However there are certain combinations of words that are difficult for
English speaking pepole to pronounce, such as Kitte (stamps), Denenchoufu (a name
of a place), etc.
I've never met any English speakers who can pronouce those properly,
even Dave Specter can't, lol

That is true, however you would never think of eating one.
That is all I was referring to.
I completely agree with you, though. Those deer are honto abunai and
best avoided.

>>540
If you live in Japan, I'm sure you appreciate NORIAKI-ism.
If not, I'd go as far as to say that the whole time you've spent in Japan is
almost worthless. Don't forget to be as cool as COOL TAK.

Don't ask who NORIAKI and COOL TAK are. I'm fed up with explaning in this thread
who they are.

Yes, the vowel structure is a big problem. wwwwww
However, when I wrote of communication styles, I was referring to the
fact that here in Japan, many things are unspoken, yet readily understood.
In America, they prefer not to leave things unspoken, so the conversations
are more lively.

>>547
You are right.
High context culture (e.g.Japan) vs Low context culture (e.g.US).
On top of that in Japanese, the sentence structre allows us to omit
subjects, whereas in English, it is usually not allowed.

Yes, I know who Nori-Pi is. I hope she can improve her life. I
feel a great deal of sympathy for her bad fate.
However, drugs are very dangerous, being a yakuza daughter, she should
have known this. I am sure she saw many people in her youth who
suffered with this addiction, yet she chose to experiment despite that.
For this reason, she is responsible for her own bad situation.

I didn't know NORIAKI and Nori-P were the same person.

drink out with me in Fukuoka.

Is it true that young women in America, even some men shave their pubic hair for
whatever reason such as hygiene and fashion?

I'd like to check every young American woman on my own, if I won't be
arrested, but that's impossible.

>>544
You met that Dave Specter in person? Great!
Are you a celebrity?

Well, a lot of people do shave their pubic hair, for whatever reason.
Some guys claim it makes them look bigger, and some women just think
it's more convenient.
I once met a girl who had a brazilian that she dyed green.
Right above it she had a tattoo that said "Keep off the grass."
wwwwwwwww

I wonder why Japanese people don't shave their pubic hair?

What's public hair?

>>556
One day you'll find out.
But until then, you should go to bed, it's past your bed-time.

LOL. It's not public hair, it's pubic.
You are funny : )

>>558
Sometimes it can be public...
If you're into that sort of thing.

Korean guys are considered amazingly hot and sexy among girls all over the world.
Many of such fan girls of Korean guys are really active on the net, saying Korean guys
are also very smart and educated and that's why they love Korean guys.
Korea is one of the greatest IT countries. This is probably because Samsung and LG could
develop state-of-the-art products and almost monoplize the market in the world such as America,
Asia, Europe, etc.. More and more girls all around the world are getting interested in Korea and
Korean guys because of those reasons - sexy guys and cool gadgets - those things grab the hearts of
young and cute girls.
I'm proud of it. :)

Women with public hair are best avoided, but if you are interested, go to
Shinjuku. There are many women there with public hair, if you can afford
it.
wwwwwwww

>>560
I lol'd.

Do Korean guys shave their pubic hair?

They don't have any body hair. They're just like seals, except they play Starcraft.

>>522
I think the translator was a Japanese young lady who fears getting old.
But she needs not to worry at all. Because she has excellent ability in English.
Intelligent elderly women are more attractive than intelligent young women.
Intelligence plus mellowness equals sexy, to me.

Koizumi-san is getting to know the importance of respecting others who support her, I think.

i agree. Japanese women are beautiful at any age. However, I do think
the obachan is far more beautiful.
She can speak her mind truthfully and that is the most attractive quality
in a woman.

>>554
Ah, I see.
You must be kidding about the woman who got the pharse tatooed.
Sounds crazy.

I didn't know about the "Brasilian" thingy so I googled.
I didn't know the shapes of pubic hair are named like these.
Maybe you might want to try the "Rising Sun" style on the page below now
that you live in Japan? www

http://my-pubic-hair.blogspot.com/2007/08/female-pubic-hair-pictures_01.html

>>555
I don't know. It's just the way we are. But some women shave it or rather
their boyfriends ask her to do. I believe the guys who aske their girlfriend
to shave their pubic hair are influenced by porn videos. Some porn actress
shave their hair. There are some men who have no-pubic hair fetish.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW9-naRu_os

Speaking of translators, check this translator out. This guy just doesn't give a fuck about anything.
The Japanese speaker is so nervous, but the translator is just doesn't give a shit.

You know what? Korean Wave has been sweeping the world since about 2000.
Korean Wave, including Korean dramas and K pops, attracts girls in this world.
Those girls say Korean guys are romantic, manly, cute and sexy. That's all true.
The popularity changed the way they see Korea as a country. Korean products are really
well-designed as well as surprisingly cutting-edge. Now lots and lots of American girls
can't live a single day without Samsung smartphones and LG TVs. American girls love Korea a lot.
Korean guys and Korean products make lives of American girls worth living.
I'm proud of it. :)

In Japan, Korean are referred to as not "gaijin" but "chon".
They are more slighted than other foreigners.

I wonder... if South Korea and Japan ever engaged in warfare, who would the US help out?
The US is an ally of both countries.

A large number of Japanese girls are interested in Korean guys.
Korean guys are really popular among Japanese girls. They get enthusiastic when
they see Korean guys. According to the news, lots and lots of Japanese girls bother
to go to the airport just to meet Korean guys. Yes, Korean guys are popular in Japan as well.
Like I said, Korean guys are amazingly popular among girls all around the world, which includes
Japan also.

Korean cuisines, Korean music, Korean dramas, Korean online games...
Everything Korean is very popular around the world now. There are countless numbers of people
who enjoy Korean stuffs. In particular, girls all around the world say they love Korean guys.
That's really good to hear, isn't it? I think Korean Wave will keep entertaining such girls.
I'm proud of it. :)

>>566
I'm afraid to say this, but my obachan(wife) who speaks her mind truthfully isn't so attractive to me.

Are you a Korean guy?
While I am happy that you are proud of your culture, you run the risk of
sounding like an arrogant person when you write things like this.
As an American woman, it is a little offensive to me.

The news says that Samsung finally had one step ahead of Intel in the stock value.
That's something, isn't it? This means the future of Samsung is far brighter than that of Intel...
Intel is considered one of the best companies all around the world and Samsung is thought to be better than that company.
The world is enthusiastic because they see the advent of the new era.
I'm proud of it. :)

No, I am not joking about the woman who had this phrase tattooed.
It was very cute, though.
Some American women can be very inventive with their hair styles, though
I am not one of them. Thank you for showing me the rising sun style, it
is very cute. However, I would have to grow out my landing strip to get
this style, so I don't think I will try it.

>>575
Don't worry. There's nothing arrogant nor offensive in my words.
I just described the truth of what's been happening in the world today..
According to wikipedia, Korean Wave is truly influential.
You should be happier about it. :)

Look around in your room. I'm quite sure you will find it full of Korean stuffs.
Your TV, your phone, your computer...

Korean companies have more than their shares in the high-tech field of American market.
I'm proud of it. :)

If you can't see the arrogance in your statements, I feel a little sorry
for you.
I would never dream of writing such things about American women, even on
2chan. It would be a little insulting to Japanese and Korean women
if I did, don't you think?
Every culture is unique and charming, and I hope someday you can
realize this.

I just checked this and got really surprised to know how very popular Samsung computers are in America.

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-NC10-14GB-10-2-Inch-Blue-Netbook/dp/B001I45TA8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1253630583&sr=8-1

What I found great about that is that more than 400 American people wrote reviews about the computer and it still got nearly 5 stars!
That's something, isn't it?
I'm proud of it. :)

>>575
He's a famous troll in this thread althuogh he hadn't been around for a while.

>>577
The "keep of the grass" warning will mean nothing as she ages.
As she become older, less and less men get interested in her "grass."
That's one of the reasons I don't like tatoo. Even if you think a tatoo
you have is cool at one time in life, its design and words can be
obsolete later in life.

Maybe in her case, all she'll have to do is to grow the hair naturally
to hide the message.

Korean Wave?
But contents empty.
You Korean guy isn't influential to anybody here at all.
I judge you by what you write here.
Convince me you are great.

"Korean guys and Korean products make lives of American girls worth living"
LOL. If this is all a girl has to live for, she is a sad woman indeed.

>>580
Don't worry. You seem just too short-sighted. Again, there's nothing insulting in my words.
I've been writing the truth of how very popular Korean Wave is. And since it's based on the truth,
you can't deny it no matter what way you take it. Korean guys are very popular among girls all over the world.
That's it. Thanks. :)

Haha, that's true. This is one of the reasons I am not quite so
adventurous myself.
The folly of youth, they say.
How easily something cute can become...............not so cute.
However, I still laughed when she showed it to me.

There are many American girls who are crazy for Korean guys.

If you insult them by stating you are their only reason for living,
they probably won't be so crazy for you very long.
Sorry if my opinion offends you, but it's true.
Even Americans have pride, though you may not think so.

Off the topic, but I hear Japan's new administation is quite interested in making friends with Korea.
Guess it's because Korea's become very influential on the world economy. Korea is going to preside over G20
next year. You know, G20 is considered very influential now that America has fallen from the world super economic body.
And the rise of Korea as one of the key players in the world economy is good news to me.
I'm proud of it. :)

>>568
I don't really think he's translating what the other guy says, he's just reading out a script, if anything.
That's probably why he comes across as so indifferent there.
Besides, it's pretty impossible to pick up every single word and translate into English as he appears to be doing.
And it doesn't look like he's actually taking notes either. Most likely, he's just following something
that's already written down on his little note.

Congratulations on your economy.
BTW, the G20 was always influential, and America happens to be a member
of the G20.
I wonder when Korea will join?

>>588
I have no idea what you are talking about. I said I wasn't offensive at all. didn't I?
Why is it to be offensive to describe the truth? Samsung is surely popular in America. Is that
insulting? Korean guys are very popular thanks to Korean Wave. Is that insulting?
No I don't think so because it's just the truth. There's nothing problematic about it nor there's
nothing you should feel offended. Just relax and chill out. Korean guys are really kind.

>>588
Since when G20 was established.

>>592
I can completely see your English is far better than mine.
But I don't think you are so charming judging from what you wrote.
And I can do without Korean products.

Ban Ki-moon
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ban_Ki-moon

He's leading the world now.

>>594
He's a Cyber-NoriP. Don't bother responding to him.

Which Asian countries do you think has the hottest guys
ttp://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=2211614872&topic=2748&post=37015

It seems Korean guys are most popular among girls all over the world.
I'm proud of it. :)

Your English isn't better than mine, of course. : )
Also, Ban Ki Moon is with the U.N, not the G20.
No one man leads the world, you should really try to educate yourself
on this topic.

>>598
I didn't say he was the leader of G20. Like you said, he's the current Secretary-General of the United Nations.
And since the U.N is leading the world, it'd be safe to say Korea is leading the world now.
It's said he's the world president. :)

Samsung is one of the best suppliers of IT products all around the world.
Hyundai got the best car award 2008 in America.
LG also dominates the home appliances in America.

American people enjoys Korean stuffs.

>>600
Then tell me why I don't enjoy your writings.
You are like a advertisement saying Korean guys are foolish.

Are you really Korean?
I suspect you are a Japanese spy.

As an American girl, I can say Korean guys are amazingly popular among girls in America.
Korean guys are hot, sexy and manly like most girls describe them.
American girls like masculine guys so it's quite natural we love Korean guys. Korean guys properly build their body
and American girls find them very attractive. And Korean Wave let American girls know Korean guys are romantic and nice.
No girls can't resist such things. :)

In America, we sometimes say, "You can lead a horse to water, but you
can't make it drink."
I wonder if there is a similar expression in Japanese or Korean?

No girls can't resist such things.
What ghetto grammar school did you graduate from, my dear?

You are a serious moron. Stop feeding the troll.

>>603
How about 「笛ふけど踊らず」?
Similar but little different.

>>601
We should take care of Japanese spies!
Korea pays a lot of attention to them as well.

Now many koreans living in America work hard to let the world know the sea of Japan should
be written as east sea. That's what we should achieve. So support us.

>>602
Thanks a lot. You are a good girl. I think you are very popular among guys also. :)

American girls and Korean guys attract each other.
American girls are wild and sexy, and they love Korean guys.
Korean guys are manly and sexy, and they love American girls.

I think American girls should marry Korean guys. :)

Korean guys should pay more attention to Europian girls!!
They should know Europian girls are quite interested in Korean guys.
More and more Europian girls, as far as I know, tend to list Korean guys as their would-be husband.
Korean guys are really popular among Europian girls as well. So forget about American girls and turn your attention
to Europe. That's what you should do now!

>>522
I think Japanese society in general value aging less, especially women's aging,
than western societies.
Kyon2 looks a lot younger than average women around her age. (almost all actors
and singers in show business do, by the way.) But as a person who knows how she looked
when she was in her prime as an idol singer, I got the impression as I wrote.
I heard every actors, especially old female ones are afraid of digital broadcast because
different from analog braodcast, the images shown on TV is much clearer.
I'm amazed by the technology.

Stew gets delicious if you simmer it for a long time while fresh salad's
taste go bad if you don't eat it right away. I hope my life is like stew.
The older I get, the more my life is matured. Having said that, the other
part me think life is like a salad, if you know what I mean.

>>610
Haha, I will. I didn't know Europian girls were sort of jealous when it comes to
Korean and American couples. But I'm glad to know you are so interested in Korean guys. :)
Good news. Korean guys are also interested in Europian girls because they are so gorgeous.
In a nutshell, you have a golden oppotunity if you want to find a Korean date. Good luck! :)

>>610
You must be an operative in charge of convincing people that Koreans are foolish.

I can't completely disagree with your statement about older women in
Japanese society, in many ways it's very true.
However, from an outsider's perspective, I think older women in Japan
are lucky, in a way.
They seem to get a little more respect and they are certainly treated
less like sexual objects. In this respect, I would prefer to be an
older woman in Japan.

I have to agree with you about the new digital broadcast, the images are
a little frightening. The clarity is amazing, you notice every wrinkle,
blemish and visible pore on an actor's face. It's quite a shock to see.
American actors are also terrified of this, so recently there have been
a lot of people getting Botox and surgery to fix this problem.

>>611
Before we go any farther, I must say you are being insulting to Eropian girls because you are jealous.
If you really want to keep Korean guys in your hands, then just be honest
and say please don't go away from me and they won't. Many girls are trying to convince Korean guys
to look toward themselves.

>>614
My understanding is that a woman even in her forties wants to look attractive from
men, which involves being looked at as a potentiall sex partner no matter
if the women are married or not.

Please ignore the strange Korean man, let's continue our discussion of
women in Japanese society. It's very refreshing to be able to speak
about this subject so frankly with a Japanese woman.
It's a little difficult to talk of these things in 2D, don't you think?

Forgive me, please. I said less like a sexual object. While a woman
of any age wants to be considered beautiful and attractive to the man
she loves, no woman enjoys feeling like an object. Especially if she
feels that she is only treated as a sex object, with no thoughts,
feelings or opinions of her own. This was what I meant.

>>615
Have you ever gone out with a Japanese man?
I read it's difficult for western women to find a date in Japan.

No, I want to talk about Korean guys because they are so interesting and fascinating to Europian girls.
Let's talk about why Korean guys is so sexy. Is it only because their manliness?

I have dated Japanese men before, it's really not difficult to find a date
here.

Have you ever dated a western woman before?

>>621
That's so tough, though interesting as well, a question.
Being sexy alone includes many factors - phisical and mental strength, fashionablity, and the aura Korean guys wear..
There are many things I can come up with, but probably fangirls like you make Korean guys sexier, I mean, you guys
pay a lot of attention and so Korean guys feel they should be more attractive. That is, Korean guys are sexy because of you! :)

>>618
Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not a woman.
And the Korean publicist is playing a two role as if they are different
persons. He's responding to his own posts.

>>619
I see. While Japanese women in their forties are treated less like a sexual object, they
aren't looked at as attractive because Japanese men think the younger
is the better. Still, you prefer the way women are treated in Japan.

>>624
How sweet of you! Now I see. Korean guys are so sweet girls are interested a lot.

>>623
Unfortunately not. Sorry to sound rude but I have an impression that American
women are so assertive. I like quiet women. There're not many Japanese
women who are quiet and reserved, though.

It must be fun to go out with a woman from a different culture.

>>618
2D? What's that?

>>626
Haha, you must be kidding. I was just saying what came to my mind.
Really.

But probably you are right. Korean guys are sweet and that's why girls all around the world
think they are hot and sexy. That makes perfect sense to me. But please keep in mind Korean guys
are naturally like this, being so sweet. I understand that's why they say they love Korean guys.
I'm proud of it. :)

>>627
Don't worry about it. American girls are more interested in Korean guys than in Japanese men.
So don't even try to ask out. And a korean guy here says korean guys have interest in American girls too.
Case closed. Japanese guys have no chance. Sorry about that. :P

Ahh....while I'm a little disappointed that you're not a woman, that's
okay : )
Your opinion is interesting regardless.
Yes, I am fully aware of the K-p.r guy's game, I simply meant that we
should ignore him and continue this discussion.

Yes, I have noted that many Japanese men seem to ignore Japanese women
once they reach a certain age, which is a little strange in my opinion.

However, I envy this a little. For myself, I get a little tired of
being stared at and men calling me suteki. This treatment would be far
worse if I were a Japanese woman, though.
Naturally, I neither prefer nor appreciate being treated in such a
demeaning manner.

>>631
You perved out many girls here, didn't you?

It's true, most American women are very assertive. I would not say
this means we aren't quiet, some of us appreciate the value of silence
very much.
Look up the definition of assertive and you will understand what I mean
: )

>>633
That's why American girls prefer Korean guys, right?

Actually, wikipedia has an article on assertiveness that should
explains what I mean perfectly.

And you should correct yourself.

Typos happen, ok?
So sue me.

>>633
Most American are good at express themselves in words and that sometimes
look too assertive to me, although I'm not sure I understand the meanig
of assertive.

When typos happened, you called others names, though.

Assertiveness is a communication style. Essentially, it is being able to
express your wants, needs and desires in a way that is direct yet non-
threatening to another person.

Assertive and too assertive are two different things.
Anyway, I think I understand what you mean.

A typo and a sentence are two different things.
When you wrote that American women can't live without Korean men, that was
not a typo. That was your opinion, and it is rude and hurtful.
I will not apologize for giving you sound advice on this matter.
I told you that arrogance is not attractive to American women. That's
very true. if you care for American women, you will learn to treat us
with love and respect. If you can do this, I am sure that you will
be able to find an American girlfriend very quickly.

Ahh....too assertive.
Do you mean aggressive?
Have you met aggressive American women before?

You are difficult. While you said you were more interested in Korean guys, you don't like it the way
he treated you after he said Europian girls are attractive.

>>643
Yeah, maybe I should have said aggressive. It's difficult to get to understand
subtle differences in words and expressions in English.
Talking in English about a little sensitive topic like a difference in culture
and what not is still difficult.

I haven't had many opportunities to talk with foreingers including American
but from what gather, American women are not my type. I have an image
that American are cheerful and outgoing in general and that's what I
like about them and that's what I lack in and kind of envy.

I'll go to bed now. I enjoyed chatting with you. I hope next time
I see you, you'll have shaved that in rising sun shape. haha

I didn't appreciate the things you wrote from your first post, to put
it bluntly.
I have no interest in men who insult me or treat me like a sex object.
I believe most European women feel the same way.
I believe most Korean men would feel the same way.
Grow up.

American men would never treat girls like a sex object.

It's true, cultural differences are the most difficult thing.
If you ever do decide to date a foreigner, please keep this in mind.
Unfortunately, it is a lot of work. So, I can't say I would encourage
anyone to date a foreigner. Most of the time, it's simply too much
trouble.
Thanks for the conversation, it was very enlightening and interesting.
I will consider that rising sun style, though it seems a bit.....
unique for my taste.
Good night!

I was pretending to be an American girl, btw.

Really? I thought you were pretending to be a man.

I noticed that. No problem here.

I like assertive women, mostly because I'm so introverted that, unless forced, I won't say much or try new things.
For every one of my relationships, it's basically been role reversal.
I'm a bit pathetic.

Ahh...you need to do a better impression of American women.
You should stick with manzai comedy.

Fuck, there's a lot of freaks out here.

My lover is sleeping in my bedroom now, all alone.
I only wish I could sleep so sweetly.

Hi, actually I disagree that sarcasm is found only a western humour.
The world is a huge place and almost every nation has sarcasm embedded
in their humour.

Illaugh when they say such and such is so English, so and so qualities are so British etc
cause as a foreigner living in the UK, I know it is not like so. People would like to think
that somwehow a very human trait becomes a national trait and makes them stand out...

Re: sarcastic remark on man rolling on the floor being erotic, I find it ironic that
everywhere in the world there are strip shows, pole dances/lap dances,
dedicated to men's viewing pleasure and nobody makes sarcastic remarks about them.

>>666 ahahahah I got the number! I am too dangerous
Re: Korean dorama, guys etc, I wrote about this before but,
Korean drama series are SOOO uncool. I forced myself to watch a few and
took me while to warm to the characters. Why are the actresses so shrill,
acting so immature and shallow, why is the subject matter all about
superficial emotions and materialism? In the dialogues people seem
to have nerve management issues. They argue a lot and sulk a lot.
When they want something they insist so much that switch off.
They don't allow space between dialogues.
Japanese dramas have such a minimalist balance, visually and emotionally,
some scripts are very intelligent, it is a pleasure watching them.
Look at the Korean drama titles, they are flashy, everyone grins on the drama poster, titles like
princess this, love so and so, we got married , richest man
such and such...so unoriginal. Sorry Korean guy-san. I like some of DBSK songs though :-D

Fuck, there's a lot of freaks out here.

Who said I was being sarcastic?
Men from Johnny's are hontooooo kakkoiiiiii!
They can't act, can't think, look like second rate host club rejects and
dance badly.
These are all qualities that most women are looking for in a man.

no not really, they like seeing a man TRY hard, really, really hard.

that IS attractive. but you wouldn't get it because you are a man.

Do you really find it so difficult to believe that there are some women
out there who aren't interested in you?
If a man really wants to try for my attention, he will put down the
bloody hair wax and pick up a book.

>>654 wow thatis so bossy of you madam.
i wouldnt want a man to change just to please me.
if he doesnt read books,i would find one that does...

???? I think you got your posts mixed up.

Sigh...
Okay, fine.
You don't have to be literate, then.
At least don't mix up my post with another one, ok?

Um, this weirdo didn't post >>654 to begin with, 'cause the original >>654 was me. Yeah, he's freaky as fuck, which is beyond my comprehension. lol
On a more serious note, it's just that you're getting trolled right now.

>>673
>>674
How can posts not get mixed up,this is an anonymous thread.

>>677 aww so cute!!!

Girls all around the world have a lot of interest in Korean guys because korean guys are smart, manly, sexy and really attractive.
Everywhere on the Internet such as a forum, some people post a question what nationality you like and the answer is always Korean men,
saying Korean guys are hot and sexy. That's all true. They are surely hot. That's why Korean guys are amazingly popular among girls
all over the world. White girls describe Korean guys as white in Asia because they know how to deal with girls properly - Korean guys are
romantic and gentle. I guess that's another reason Korean guys are popular among white girls as well even though Korean guys are asian.
I'm proud of it. :)

You must be an anti-Korean operative.

You surely did a great job.
Your arguments convinced me that Korean guys are foolish. And I thought that non-Korean guys are great.

>>680
Why are you so twisted? I don't find a bit of anti-korean thing in this.
You just don't know how very popular Korean guys really are with girls.
After reading 679, I got some kind of confirmation that they know they are popular.
Yeah, lots and lots of girls everywhere talk about Korean guys and to my knowledge most of
those girls say Korean guys are trully hot. That's a sure thing. In conclusion, what he just wrote
was based on the fact that many girls are mesmerised with Korean guys.

>>681
I love you. All of your posts make me laugh. You must never leave this place.

I think Korean guys are so honest and straight-forward about their popularity that some people like you
feel they're stupid but it's quite unfair. There are cultural differences between different countries and
we should respect them each other. Korean guys are honest and straight-forward, and that's what makes them
sexy and appealing to girls too. If you are the kind of person who can't respect such diffence, then you shouldn't
complain even if we don't pay respect to you. That's all.

>>682
I'm sorry twisted may have been too strong a word, but please understand.
But you are so arrogant. I don't know why you are in a bad mood.
Is it because I was on his side?

What do you think about Obama?
Do you agree or disagree with Obama care?

>>684
I'm not the guy you were speaking to before, Korea Man. I just thought I'd pipe up and offer you some support.
But clearly Korea Man is a lone wolf.
Wander on, Korea Man, I won't bother you any longer.

>>685
It's basically the same thing as in every other industrialized country.
The rednecks simply can't handle change.

>>687
What are you talking about?

>>688
The healthcare system. Most developed countries have universal healthcare. It isn't as radical a change as some suggest it to be. It's certainly not Socialism.

I didn't mean to ask you to explain. I asked if you are for or against it.

>>690
Oh, I'm for it.

I don't respect any arrogant culture.
It only causes wars between people.
The Korean guy is a flash point of world war.

About 50 percent of the American population is against it.
The poll shows that the number of people who support Obama is decreasing.
Do you still think he will manage to achieve it?

Universal healthcare system is a basic human right.
Without it, human can't be human.

Then American people have never been human you say?

>>693
The Democrats have control of basically the entire government. He could do it if he wanted to, but he keeps trying to appease the right-wingers.
They're never going to agree with him.
He just needs to get on with it, regardless of the polls.

I heard some American (poor) people were treated like animals.

>>695
They are rice people. People made of rice.

I often watch topic of healthcare on CNN podcast recently.
But unfortunately, I can't understand it well because of lack of English skill.

>>699
Why don't you read their website? It would be much easier to understand.

>>700
I see.
Thank you for your help.

Speaking of health, the Swine Flu is going to hit Canada hard this winter. It is expected to mutate.
Hospitals are stocking up on body-bags, lol.

If I get swine flu I will give 2ch exclusive SWINE FLU UPDATES!
You all must be very excited.

>>701
You're welcome. Here's the actual site... http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/

>>702
If you end up being in one of the body bags, you can't updated on the
flu.

>>704
Yes I can. I have many bodies.

Regarding the Japanese man who dislikes American women, I'm not sure he dislike Amrerican women or assertive women.
As one of Japanese men, I understand he dislikes assertive-assertive women.
But I do feel intelligence and kindness from American women here.
So I appreciate American women.

Are all American women assertive?
I like modest women...

I like moderate(mixed elements of assertive, intelligence and kindness) women.
Moderation is important part of Japansese culture, I think.

>>708
Thus, those who try to do something new or entrepreneurs are tend to be heavily discriminated

Korean guys are surely popular among girls all over the world.
If you check on the Internet forums concerning Korean Wave, you'll see
there are a lot of girls who are enthusiastic and excited about Korean guys.
One of the words those girls often use is "hot". For example, "Korean guys are
hot" is the way they describe Korean guys. I understand how they feel. Probably
hot guys aren't around them. That's why they see Korean guys extremely hot things.
I'm proud of it. :)

I just found this forum where people enjoyed talking about Korean guys. :)

ttp://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090909063133AAeaVQ6

Do you think korean guys are sexy...?
i think they are sooo hot! they look so tough, yet they are so sweet at the same time!

>>709
I understand what you mean.
It is also a mixed blessing of Japanese culture.

I myself is not a moderate person so I like moderate lady.

I love hot chicks FTW

>>709
You can say that again.
TAIIKUKAI-KEI is the biggest cancer of Japanese cluture.

Why are you critical of that.

Probably his anus was raped by a taikukaikei-boy.

I'm very sorry to hear that.

ドンマイ、ドンマイ。
Each culture has a dark and a light side.

what is a TAIIKUKAI-KEI ???

To explain it in English is really difficult.
It's beyond me.

a former member of athletic clubs(especially martial arts group) at university.

More and more girls around the world today are getting quite interested in Korean guys
simply because Korean guys are hot and sexy, but at the same time many of those new fangirls
already noticed Korean guys are appealing to girls since they are smart and romantic.
Take Samsung for example. It represents Korea and their smartness. Samsung invents a lot of cool
electro-devices and makes e-life very fun. If you have an American friend, ask him/her whether
they have Samsung products or want to get one. You'll get yes for an answer. American people know
Korean products are sweeping the American market now. Samsung is ranked within world top 50 companies
in the brand image competition. Samsung is quite successful in America, and America is the largest market
in the world, meaning Samsung won against any other company in the e-product field.
I'm proud of it. :)

>>719
【体育会系】
Something like spirit which is shared by people who adore 上下関係.

Ahhh.....
The most meaningful part is Japanese!

You can replace it seniority mindset shared with members of athetic clubs
such as baseball, football, basketball at university( and high school.)
The younger members are subject to older members.

You can imagine bootcamp. The newly recuruited are subject to older members.

What is a Sempai and Kohai?
http://www.hoshindo.net/index.php/articles/155-what-is-a-sempai-and-kohai

In a nutshell, That's a revived zombie of the Imperial Japanese army.
It is completely different from Western army, I can say.
Because I'm one of the 体育会系.

死に損ない of the Imperial Japanese army is the origin of 体育会系.

But there is a bright side, of course.
I never give up studying English with my life.

>>730
What is your porpose of studying English?
In my case, actually it's just to fun.

To survive in this turmoilous time in Japan.

>>727
What's the difference between the two?
do you really know well about armies of the western countries?

>>731
There's turmoil in Japan?
Are the athletic clubs fighting again?

I guess >>731 refers to Japan's reccession.
Probably his post does not relate to TAIIKUKAI-KEI.

Those who condemn TAIKUKAI-KEI are wimpy unko misfits.
They are usually not good at anything.

Have added a few more to the collection now. Bumped into an old friend from
school a couple days ago, and he's a commercial airline pilot now. He told
me where he lives, so I must break in and steal his captain's hat.

More and more girls around the world today are getting quite interested in stealing Korean guy's caps.
Simply because their caps are hot and sexy. I'm proud of it. : )

Today, our teacher crammed the entire katakana table into our heads.

My hand is still shaking from copying down so many symbols...

You will not be able to handle them
while you recognize them as symbols.

Korean guys are really popular among girls all over the world. This is partly
because of the power of Korean Wave. The Wave mainly means Korean dramas, K pops, and Korean cuisine.
It's very strategic, you know. Many girls watch Korean dramas and in those dramas hear K-pops and get to
know Korean cuisines. In other words, starting with Korean dramas, those girls have started to get interested in
the whole Korean culture. What it boils down to is that they fall in love with Korea. Since they are girls, naturally
they are interested in Korean guys. They adore Korean guys. That's why Korean guys are popular among girls all over the world.
One more interesting thing is that those girls want to get cool Samsung IT products as well. Now Samsung has almost dominated the
electro-gadget market such as in America, Asia, and Europe. For the past 10 years, things have changed completely.
I'm proud of it. :)

>>741
Keep up the good work.

According to the recent survey conducted in Korea, about 60 percent of the Korean people think Korea's become an advanced nation
mainly due to its great and strong growth of the IT industry. Korea's considered the best IT nation in the world. Korea has Samsung,
LG, and Hyundai as its great asset. In particular, Samsung already surpassed Intel, one of the best American companies, and achieved
the worldwide fame. That's partly contributed to the popularity of Korean guys among girls all over the world.
Those girls want to get married to Korean guys because a) Korea is economically strong, and b) Korean guys are really hot and sexy.
To put it another way, Korean guys have what girls ask for men. I think the popularity will keep skyrocketing.
I'm proud of it. :)

Someone asked me how my Chinese was going a long time ago. Here is my belated response.

It is very hard to learn in that the accents are very difficult to remember. Other than that,
it is very simple and a ton of fun to learn. One of the sweetest things about it is noticing all
the similarities between Japanese and Chinese. It's fun to see the Chinese equivalent of a Japanese
word and to see how the Chinese still attach a hanzi/kanji to it while the Japanese seem to only
use hiragana. The best example I can think of right now is the Chinese 呢 (ne) and the Japanese
ね particle. They both seem to mean the same thing, in general. (呢 is meant to be a particle used
to either emphasize something or to ask a question when the context is already understood and thus
not repeated by replaced by 呢).

Chinese is also very simple grammatically. It uses subject-verb-object and also has some grammar points
which are similar to Japanese. So I can understand a lot of the grammar through mere intuition.

Also, I'm starting to notice myself unconsciously understanding what Japanese speakers are saying when
I hear them speak Japanese, rather than having to think about it. I wouldn't say I'm getting fluent or even
proficient, but it is a lot of fun to be getting some practical use out of all that time I spent learning it.
And I'm sure the utility will only increase over time.

Oh, hi, by the way.

>>745
I'm 100% sure that you're a no-class Japanese spammer trying to injure Korea's reputation, because you're only berating your shallow knowledge about Korea.
If you were a real Korean, you would provide more detailed information about Korea, or something we don't know, intentionally or unintentionally.
And I very much doubt that you've never been to Korea. You don’t seem to know what Korean dramas are exactly popular, and what Korean cuisine is exactly delicious.
But since your writing seems to be grammatically right, I think it's worth reading for those learning English. Keep posting.

Allow me to introduce Tteokbokki, one of the Korean traditional food, which has become horribly popular among New Yorkers.
ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tteokbokki

I'm 100% sure New Yorkers are the people who love to try anything new if that's worth it, and
they finally met a traditional Korean cuisine before they got into it. They can't resist spicy food any more.
Korea taught them how very good it tastes. Korean food has been accepted globaly as healthful and nutritionally valued food.
It's not too much to say New Yorkers can live healthy lives thanks to Korea.
I'm proud of it. :)

Oh, long time no hear, イギリス人さん!
How is life? Must be chilly by now in England.

You know what, I suggest that you steal a hat from Colonel Qadhafi.
He must have a dozen of the same hat he was wearing at the UN congress, lol

It is crucial to foster a contempt for baseness.There
is no law stating that committing a base act is wrong,
but that only makes it all the more important. In order
to foster the proper contempt for baseness, we need
to revive the Confucian family ties that are part and
parcel of the samurai spirit. Japanese children never did
any shoplifting when these still flourished.

We are in a world of shit.

>>732
There is no concept of "surrender" in The Imperial Japanese army.
And the army(navy) worked out KAMIKAZE special attack force, as you know.
You Westerners must call it stupid.

The US army was much stronger than The Imperial Japanese army.

Our army was WEAK BUT NEVER SURRENDER.
That's why I said " completely different from Western armies".

Not
There is no concept
But
There was no concept
Sorry.

As for me, I am still weak in English but never surrender(give up) studying English.
Good night.

You are Kamaｋaze.

>>754
what 727 explains is the japanese seniority system in sports or martial arts is
based on that of the japanese army or the military caste system, doesnt it?
but such relationship used to be very common in the armies of western countries too.
rank and filers had to obey everything COs commanded. and unfortunately, there's been little change in the armies...

now, what's the influence of the difference written in 754 on the japanese seniority system?

>>751
Life's busier than ever, unfortunately. At the moment, spare time is much
more valuable than money. And you're right - it's definitely autumn now.
The morning air is crisp and cool, and the leaves are changing colour. My
Japanese Maple tree is starting to turn bright red.

And yes, his hats are pretty great. Already have one similar in shape,
but doubt it's of the quality of his hats. His tents are good too. I really
like the one with prints of palm trees and camels all over it.

How's the weather over there? From what I've heard, it's still quite warm.

I love sticky rice.

Good morning.
I'll take a bath and have a breakfast at YOSHI-GYU.

Oh, I think being busy at this time of global recession is a fortune.
Congrats to you!

This time in Japan is probably one of the best seasons; appox. 25C and dry.
It's like you go out and start walking, and feel like you can walk forever.

Colonel Qadhafi's tent! I saw that on the new too!
That was hilarious!!
And this time, Donald Trump tried offered a space or someting, right?
Donald Trump! Is he still rich?? Has he been hiding?
I didn't even know he was still alive!

Anyway, very nice talking to you again after a long interval.
I shouldn't keep you here because you are very busy.
Good luck with what you are working on right now!

Korean guys are amazingly popular among girls all over the world.
Korean guys have the power to intoxicate girls by their hot and sexy looks.
You can check how enthusiastic those girls are when they talk about Korean guys.
The words currently being used a lot is hot - Korean guys are hot - that's how they
describe Korean guys. Many white girls and Asian girls seem very happy when they
exchange opinions of why Korean guys are so hot. It's good, isn't it?
I love fangirls like them. :)

>>761
How was your BF at Yoshi-gyu?
Is it better than Matsuya?

I want to get intoxicated.

Go to Yoshi-gyu.

That sound like "Gay Breeze" for Japanese.

Is pronunciation of "Kamikaze" difficult for foreigner?

I'm so jealous of Korean guys for being really popular with girls all I can do is curse them.
Why only Korean guys get all women and leave nothing for us? Korean guys are far better than the
rest of us. And everytime I browse the Internet, all the girls everywhere admire Korean guys. Sure,
Korean guys are super hot and the rest of us is not so hot. I'm so jealous. Korean guys are really
popular among girls all over the world.

They do seem nicer and have softer approach to women on the surface,
but considering what they are brought up with, namely Confucianism,
I don't think they are necessarily suitable for Japanese women, let alone
western women.
When they get married, I'm sure they will start to show the male-chauvinistic side.

I would LOVE to fuck you, if you were here I'd lie you on my bed
and slowly kiss your neck, gently biting... sucking on your collar bone...
I'd remove your bra and tease those gorgeous tits of yours...
I'd flick them with my tongue... I'd lick down to your pants and gently blow coldly wear I've licked.
I'd remove your trousers and tease your clit by licking your inner thighs... as I move towards your clit I would go slower and slower...
and pass your clit and go up the other leg... and work my way down...
I get slower and slower... almost reaching your clit... I'd look up at you and smirk...
I'd move your pants and slowly lick your out... continually looking at you for your reaction...
as I lick faster I'd lick harder... grabbing your ass and tits gently as I lick you...
I'd continue making faster and faster, making you breathe harder and gasp for air,
I'd make you cum. hard. I'd lie down and you'd lie ontop of me. kissing me faster,
i'd kiss you by sucking your bottom lip. gently biting and flick it with my tongue.
I'd lie down as you pull off my trousers and slowly pull off my boxers to reveal my hard cock wanting you.

madly in love with the country, you sprinkle about like shining champagne bubbles,
your crazy laugh,
laughing at me, and I'd be brutal,
and I'd grab your hair
like this-how beautiful,
oh! in the air

your strawberry-raspberry taste,
your flowery flesh!
laughing at the wind that kissed you like a thief

The Japanese have been very much depending on seniority system.
For one thing, 体育会系 spirit greatly contributed to the post-war economical prosperity of Japan.
Jananese corporations used to welcome 体育会系 recruits even if they were a little studid, because they never give up in any situation.

Having lost the war, the Japanese transformed "zombie of The Imperial army" into 体育会系 spirit and then won the industrial warfare against the U.S. eventually.

Nowadays, the younger generation criticizes the dark side of 体育会系 spirit.
I admit 体育会系 spirit is out of date and losing power.
However, the spirit never die, for it still has a light side.

Now I'm going to make good use of the spirit to obtain a black belt of English.

not
welcome 体育会系 recruits even if they were a little studid
but
welcome 体育会系 recruits even if they were a little STUPID
Sorry again.

Today I'm studying a book of English business conversation.
I'm tired of arrays of short sentences.

That kind of books are for morons.

In any language, business conversation is the matter of reflexes.

I have nothing to do except masterbation.
But these days I'm even getting bored with it. I guess it's about time to kill myself.

JUST DO IT.

>>786
How many times do you masturbate a day?

>>788
When I was younger I would do twice or three times but now, I just do
once in a few days.

What do you call　体育会系 in English?

I read that 33% of Japanese men sit down to pee. Is that true?

I don't sit down to pee and I don't think there are so many Japanese men doing that.

This is a very interesting blog written by an American who lives in
Yokohama.

The post above is a good reason why living in Japan can be deeply
unpleasant for foreigners of every color.

「 Korean guys are far better than the rest of us...」
i don't think so.At least i don't like them .(i'm female.)
if to speak of idols,
korean idols are better than jonneys' at some aspects.
but definitely not the best one.....

I think what makes racism in Japan so much worse than in other countries
is the fact that no one here bothers to speak up about it. Just like
chikan in the train, most Japanese people don't want to do or say
anything to stop it. They are afraid of being involved in this situation.

American woman, are you awake?

中出しの楽しさ

It seems to me that the examples presented in the blog is not exactly the kind
which should be called racism. japanese people simply show their respect to people that
belong to other races. They just want to be like them, that's all. I think there's a notion
that they feel inferior to foreign people behind it. Their longings for something foreign
is not seen in other cultures. They get a face job to make them look like whites, for example.

These attitudes are racist.
While there is nothing wrong with admiring another culture, this kind of
imitation IS racist.
As the author pointed out, ignorance is no excuse.

Not to be rude, but racism in Japan is a very real problem. Ask the next
foreigner you see how they feel about it.

The time is now 21:39 in the UK. I feel like telling you guys a few real life stories.

The trap and the lifeforce

The first one happened yesterday. I was on my way out from where I l
ived, I was about to unchain my bike when I realised I forgot
something. As I was about to re enter the house I heard this
very loud buzzing sound. I lifted my head up to see a spider web
half a metre ahead. A large black fly was trapped in the middle, and
a a thick bellied spider with yellow-brown patterns, was clutching it.
The fly was flapping its wings in frenzy, it was like a car wheel
trapped in mud going round and round. The spider was not budging at
all. it was quietly hugging the fly. I approached the duo and at one
point, I could say that the fly had full confidence that it would
free itself from the deadly clasp of the spider. He was giving his
everything, all the energy he ever had for its freedom. At one
point i was so impressed bythe spider's struggle that I sought a
little twig to destroy the evil spider's murder attempt. However I
hesitated. I thought thatI was interfering with nature's work. Still
I almost heard the fly screaming " help! I am trying very hard. go get that
twig and help me!" I looked down and picked up a twig. However, I
thought: If i released the fly, would it survive? The spider had probably
delivered a toxic chemical into the fly's body and slowly,
the fly was to be paralysed. The fly was quieter know and a few
more attempts, it would slowly slip into darkness.

I nudged the coalesced duo a few times with the twig, however the
spider did not budge at all. The fly was still moving its legs but
his wings were definitely paralysed. And now the spider started
slowly to weave a cocoon around the fly, which was still concious.
I could almost hear the fly say, "is this it? this.... this can't
be true. "It kept trying with all the force he could gather.
I could almost feel the life force of this being.
I felt sad, but marvelled at the ruthlessness of the spider.
It had this "I have the complete rights to this
body" kind of attitude. I watched both in amazement for a while
and dropped the twig off from my hand.
A few seconds later I felt embarassed to be a witness to this
lesson in the ways of nature. I felt like a voyeour. I went back in the
house to pick up the forgotten item. When I returned the fly was
motionless and its head was submerged in a cocoon. The spider was
slowly completing the weaving with knowing body gestures.

I was in deep thought about life, death, the whole transition process,
the billions of years of this planet, of change, of the whole delusion
of what we think life is. I thought time and time again.

The next day, the cocooned white corpse of the fly looked smaller, and black.
Maybe the spider had eaten it. The transformation was so shocking.
I then noticed something even more shocking. There was a parallel spider web
only half an arm's length from the web with the cocoon. and the middle
of it was perfectly aligned with this one. An exactly similar type of
thick bellied spider was stationed right in the middle.

It was a perfectly laid trap. I looked up and down to see what made
these two spiders collaborate. Was there a fruit tree that attracted
flies? Whatwas the secret of thi strap? Once a fly forced to fly
through that air space there was no way he wouldn't be caught in one
or the other. It was a very efficient way of collecting food.

I could never satisfy my curiosity.

There is NO respect when it comes to xenophobia. Whether it's well meaning or not, some Japanese just can't get over physical and cultural differences.
Gaijin are never on the same level as Japanese, they're always either put down upon or placed on a pedestal.
But the worst part is that most fail to recognize it as a problem.
This xenophobia ranges from large scale things like the fingerprinting of foreigners, to small social problems like the assumption that all foreigners can't speak Japanese.

And ignorance isn't an excuse, it's just another problem.

The fingerprinting doesn't really bother me, I'm pretty sure America
does the same thing. It's really the little stuff, people touching my
hair because it's blonde, being amazed that I can use chopsticks (sugoi!
It has opposable thumbs and knows how to use them!) and those million
other little examples of racist ignorance that bother me.
It could be worse (I could be black), but why can't it be better?

>>809
I didn't have to get fingerprinted when I visited America in the summer.

Oh.................. well,never mind, then.

The ignorance about the racism here is pretty astounding! Even in
America, people will call you on it if you try to play it off as
"ignorance" but here, it's just ignored and accepted as if it's
fine. I really hate the phrase syou ga nai.

Watch anime and be happy.

What if blue haired large breasted women with giant eyes don't make me happy?

>>814
Watch J-drama and be happy.

How about Japanese people stop being so racist?

Cosplay Naruto and be happy.

What is Naruto?

Naruto is in all foreigners living in Japan. Google it.

No wonder you're so racist. Naruto explains everything!

Naruto is a super kakkoii gaijin ninja. What's wrong with you?

I can't even begin to respond to that question.
Yes, let me go relax and watch some anime, that will make me feel sooo
much better about dealing with racism in a foreign country.
The racist crap that I have to put up with on a daily basis? There is no
amount of TV or cosplay or whatever that will make it feel good or
even tolerable.
I just wish Japanese people would at least try to look at a foreigner's
perspective on their behavior, which is why I posted that link in the
first place.
Hey, though, I just need to relax and watch some cartoons, I guess.

http://goinglocoinyokohama.wordpress.com/2009/09/10/the-minstrels-on-my-desk/

There you go. Just make sure you don't watch Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen instead.

>>805
Sometimes you see a fly or other insects trapped in a spider's web.
I think when kids find a insect trapped in a web, most of them try to
rescue them.

I'm an adult but I can't help but rescue trapped insects although even if
they are free from a web, sticky substance glued to its body may prevent it from
living longer.

Yeah, as you say, help from a human may be against nature's work but
human is a part of nature so why not. I'd try to help a trapped insect
if no one is around watching me. If anyone is around, I won't because it's
a shame a grown-up is swinging around a twig in the air.

Is the Japanese White Nationalist in this thread?

I haven't chatted with him in some time.

Korean guys are really popular among girls all over the world mainly because Korean guys are smart, hot, manly. and sexy.
This is the unchangeable fact no one can deny. That's for sure. That's why girls are so mesmerised with Korean guys. My American
girlfriend says her friends also say Korean guys are so hot that they want to get on a date with a Korean guy. And my Italian female
friend says Korean guys are amazingly popular with Italian girls due to the increase of the popularity of Korean Wave in Italy.
It's really surprising how rapidly Korean Wave is rippling through the world. Korean Wave is changing the world even now.
This magnificent power of Korean Wave mainly depends on hot Korean guys obviously because the main consumers of the Wave are girls who
are interested in hot guys. Girls all around the world today enjoy talking about Korean guys a lot.
I'm proud of it. :)

http://www.gaijinsmash.net/archives/gaijin_perimete.phtml

That's the gaijin experience, right there.
Just lovely.

>>802
I totally agree with you as Japansese.
Ignorant may it be, but not racist, I think.

I watched two videos attached on the blog.
The second one also shows their ignorance.
He went out the hotel room leaving 500bucks on the bed, but he didn't intend to leave it for tip.
As long as he didn't mean it tip, it was not tip.

We can't slam their make-up as discriminatory as long as they didn't intend to.
It was a sad accident or happening.
I'm not saying it's no problem, however, it's not discrimination.

So if I put on yellow makeup and walked around saying ah, so all the time
it wouldn't be offensive?
Yes, blackface IS ignorant, we can agree on that.
It's also racist and offensive.
Now you know. So you can't really say you're ignorant anymore.

Now that I knew it's racist, I will not make up my face black even if how much I think black people are cool.

And I will not leave my money on the bed when I go out.

>>830
Racism stemming from ignorance is STILL RACISM.
It doesn't take away the blame or make it a "sad accident".
Homogeneous upbringing or not, they should've known better.

Like 831 mentioned, how would you feel if I put on yellow make-up and imitated stereotypical Japanese traits?
I could just claim ignorance, though, and it would be a sad accident. Oh, I didn't know any better!

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x21nv6_vapors-turning-japanese_music

What do you guys think about this song? It's about being Japanese and fapping mixed together.
Sure, looks like an old song, but still it's not banned or anything and a lot of people sing to it.

I think it's great that Japanese think black people are cool.
I only wish this coolness meant that they would study the history and
try to show a little more respect, especially to the African Americans
who live here. That was the point I was trying to make. Being a
foreigner here can be a difficult experience, for foreigners of all
colors, but it doesn't have to be that way.

Am... am I cool?
I want to be cool.
I have a cool hat.

Wow, i can't say I'm really surprised, since this video is from 20 or
30 years ago. Back then, most people had no clue about Japan other
than samurai swords and geisha. Still, the creepy misogyny and
obvious Asian fetish are jarring and painful to watch.
The part where he's waving the sword around and she's just standing in
the right hand corner of the frame was especially disgusting to watch.

Still, I take comfort in the fact that most people now know that this
kind of stuff is offensive.
The Gosperats are a current group and as the author demonstrated, no
one sees them as offensive. There is a difference there.

Are many Americans study second language?

It's old, but it was used in the movie Charlie's Angels recently, and you can see people singing it on Youtube and the likes "now".
I guess that shows not too many people take it as offensive, unless they're Japanese.

Well, I'm not Japanese, and I thought the video was a little creepy.
Not blackface racism, and I think the actors were Asian, but it had a little
misogynistic me white man you pretty geisha girl feel to it that was
painful to watch.

The song itself isn't really that offensive anyway, since it's about
masturbation.

Do you really think so? What they mean in the lyrics is he's masturbating like crazy, thus turning Japanese though.

If masturbation turns people Japanese, then I'm the fucking Prime Minister.

Look, obviously the guy who wrote the song is an idiot, but I'll try to
explain the line "turning Japanese", ok? When he orgasms, he makes a
face, he squints his eyes. So....without being too embarrassing, there's
your explanation.
All that aside, it's from 2-3 decades ago and this blackface stuff is
happening in Japan right now.

>>845
Yeah, as unacceptable as that song may be, it was made a while ago.
I doubt that sort of thing would be accepted now, although it is still somewhat popular.

Though I have to say, I never really thought about how politically incorrect that song really is...
Interesting.

Hmmm, well, suppose you are black and have got offended by some doo-wop group, I could understand where you're coming from,
since you'd have a valid reason to be. Perhaps though, you might as well go back to your country immidiately and start
a campaign against Hollywood and the music industry that keep discharging negative stereotypes of African Americans through
violent movies and gangsta rap that some Japanese teens are drooling over right now.
That's a bit more of a serious issue, to be honest with you, but whatever.

I think this song deserves bilboard top 10

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zHVW7Zy_vg

>>847
Or maybe those same teens could stop eating the shit fed to them by the film and music industry.
Maybe they could open a history book and see what happened outside of Japan.

That being said, the same principle applies to all countries.

You're completely right, every black person who lives in Japan should
just quit their jobs, spouses, lives and campaign against Hollywood.
Dude, are you joking?
Look, Hollywood puts out a lot of completely inaccurate portrayals of
everyone (Sex and the City, Heroes, etc.)
What the clip showed you is pure BLACKFACE, something Hollywood hasn't
shown in decades. This is produced in Japan, and if you can't see how
wrong it is, you're the one with the problem, not Hollywood or rap.

Yeah, I know what you mean, Blackface is bad, right? You got your point across.

NOIRIAKI is the one and only rapper the essence of rap.

My point will have gotten across when Japanese people understand why
blackface is bad. Not just blackface, but all those other ways foreigners
here are dehumanized and treated. Blackface is only the most egregious
example of the way foreigners are demeaned here.
Please don't misunderstand, Japan is a wonderful country, but I really
wish some people would think before they act. Some of the things I've
experienced here I really couldn't have expected.

Then I think you should state the historical backgrounds of not showing blackfaces in the show industry anymore,
not just the "Hollywood doesn't do that any more! You shouldn't do it!" thing, if you are familiar with the issue.
Otherwise, people wouldn't undersdtand why.

The author of the blog already stated it for me, and far more eloquently
than I could have managed. I placed the link already, but I'll do it again,
since you can't be bothered to scroll to the beginning of this thread.
http://goinglocoinyokohama.wordpress.com/2009/09/10/the-minstrels-on-my-desk/

You mean, watch Bamboozled? What did you think about the movie then?

If you're curious at to why blackface/minstrels are offensive, take care
to look at the last video. What does that clip make you think about
African-Americans? Why do you think it would be offensive?

It's simple. If you don't feel comfortable in Japan, go back to your country.
If you have a family here, like having gotten married with Japanese spouse
having a kid, things aren't so simple, though.

In case of the African American man, he just wanted a turnaround in his life and with no specific reason, he came to Japan.
Maybe he just think he can earn easy money by teaching English.
He wrote he wants to be a writer. You can be a writer in America or wherever you like.
He doesn't have a family here right? Then go back to America. It's so simple.

I watched the movie a while ago, I know what it's about. I was asking your personal opinion about it.

As for the second and the third videos where man with painted face,
it's just a from of flattery.
Imitation is the best form of flattery kind of thing.
They seemed to be reunited. They were formed back in eary 1980's If I'm not mistaken.
They broke up.

Would you give that advice to a Japanese person living in America if
they were treated the same way? I'm not denying that racism exists in
America, but we don't turn a blind eye to it or tell people to leave.
Please think about what you just wrote, you are the person I think could
really benefit from reading what he wrote the most. Bear in mind that
not every foreigner in Japan can just pack up and leave, either.

http://www.japanprobe.com/?p=6598
This is pretty recent, if I'm not mistaken.

As long as you choose to live in a particular foreign country,
you have to be patient aganst discriminatory stuff.
If you don't like the way you are treated in a foreign country,
go back to your country. Nobody asked you to stay in a foreign country.
In case of the African American man, too, nobody forced him to come to
Japan.

>>858
What kind of solution is that?
"Our culture is a bit racist... so instead of us correcting our mistakes, get out of "OUR" country!"

Even your language speaks of Japan's subtle racism. "Your" country. Not his. Despite his Japanese citizenship, it will forever be your country.
He's just passing through, right? Of course he is... he's black!

Stay Black!!!

So I'm just gonna punch the next Japanese immigrant I see right in the face.
If he doesn't like it, he can leave everything he's worked for and move back to Japan.

Well, there are just tons of hypocrites today, but none of them is black, that's for sure.

>>862
It's also like "imitation is a form of flattery" thing.

African American are known for their singing skills.

Are niggers complaining about racism in Japan too now?

Henceforth I proclaim you "Nigger!" the scourge of the nations,
because corrupting and destroying are your sole occupation.

Niggers expect Governments to LEGISLATE LAWS to PROTECT THEIR FEELINGS!

This is how stupid they are, they think it is the Government's duty to make
sure their feelings aren't hurt.

Sorry, Japan is a homogenous society, you do not have the right to go anywhere
in the world and demand people change for you.

You ugly boot lipped coon.

14/88

>>866
That was just an extreme way to try and prove a point, by the way.
I would never, ever do that.
I have very fragile knuckles. Quite lady-like.

Whoa, don't. Seriously. Whatever country you're from, you're above
that racist, petty shite. I'm not trying to turn this into a tit for tat,
I just want some Japanese people to think before they act, before they
treat a foreigner in a racist manner.

>>869
I see you trollin' there.

>>866
Who said punching every foreigner in their faces are encouraged?
I just said, if you are uncomfortable living in a foreign country, just
pack your suitcase and go back to your country.

>So I'm just gonna punch the next Japanese immigrant

Unlike Africans, Japanese do not spread out like a plague into every other
country on earth and demand those countries give them preferential treatment.

Nor do they engage in criminal activities to the same extent blacks do.

Niggers claim that their shitty existence in Africa is whitey's fault.
Whitey stole all the natural resources of the land (as if it's possible
to 'steal' the earth's ability to grow crops) and split the continent up
to cause niggers to fight each other all the time.

Even on their own continent, niggers blame whitey for their failures.
But the fact is that no matter what situation niggers are in or what
part of the world they are in, niggers consistently fail. This fact
has remained true throughout history and is evident by the present-day
status quo. No matter where they are or what their present condition,
niggers will invariably FAIL. They do not improve or advance at all.
In fact, when niggers get together they destroy and denigrate and they
do not stop until they have beaten down their existence to the point
where they are crawling in the dirt and living in crude straw huts.

Can anyone reading this prove me wrong? Can anyone show me ONE single area in the world or in history where a dominant population of niggers have created a living situation that is better than a toilet bowl? No.

This nonsense that niggers are equal is a LIE.

>>871
You're absolutely right. I was just trying to apply his logic to a more transparently racist situation.
It wasn't meant as an actual threat or anything of the sort.

I am white. Please excuse black people's inferiority complex.
They blame other people for their problems, it is anathema for
them to take responsibility for their own actions.

By the way, don't think that only African-Americans get treated badly over
here, white people get the foreigner treatment, too. Not to the same
extent, of course, but still.....
I'm just sayin, don't feel so happy about being a creepy white neo-nazi,
869. In fact, I hope you do come to Japan, see how it feels.

>>870
Point taken.

>>874
Herp derp.

>>873
I think you know what I said wasn't meant to be taken literally.
I'm saying that a country's discrimination shouldn't force people to leave.
Rather, the country should try to better itself and become more understanding of that culture.

Much like the black man, a Japanese person shouldn't have to leave a country because a person from that country punches him in the face!
Again, the punch is not literal, but symbolic of all discrimination.

>>877

If I ever went to Japan. I would not expect to be treated as Japanese.

This is the height of absurdity. I would be a foreigner in a country, analagous
to a guest and his host.

It would be rude for a guest to say to his host 'treat me like you treat your own
family, let me sleep in your house, cook me dinner when I want, make my breakfast,
clean my clothes.'

Races exist, they are not just 'social constructs', people have a clannish mentality.

You cannot override biological precedent with social engineering.

I can only hope that's sarcasm, 876.

>Again, the punch is not literal, but symbolic of all discrimination.

Actually it's a pretty poor analogy, one implies breaking the law. What would
be termed Grevious Bodily Harm or Assault depending on where you live, which would
render the perpetrator of it a criminal who is liable for criminal charges.

What you are talking about has nothing to do with criminality whatsoever. It's a piss
poor analogy. Go back to your sociology class or something.

>>880
So all of the Mexicans, Chinese, Japanese, etc. living in the US should be treated like GUESTS despite the fact that many of them plan to live there indefinetely?
That's absurd. Race exists but one should try and overcome it rather than bow down to it like you do.

No 881, I'm afraid it isn't sarcasm. Black people in the US
believe that the white man 'holds them back', they believe that
the courts are bias against them, even when empirical evidence
suggests otherwise. They even suggest that written examinations
on firefighters exams are 'racist', black people have a pack mentality.

They will defend another black person, even if he is a rapist or a murderer
simply because he is black.

>>879
If I'm not mistaken you're going back to America.
Is that because you think you'll keep treated like a "Foreigner" no
matter how long you stay in Japan?

Or you feel you are at the deadlock in terms of your carrer here?
You don't want to teach English forever in Japan, do you?

>>882
That's right, it has nothing to do with criminality. My apparently shitty analogy didn't take into account whatsoever the law portion of the assault.
And you know why? Because it's irrelevant. My point still stands.
But to appease you, m'lord, let's replace the fist with a racial slur, and the physical damage with emotional damage.

HUZZAH!

I have never asked a Japanese person to let me sleep in their home or
cook for me, nor would I. I do expect to be treated like a human
being, though. Perhaps you would understand what I am talking about if
you had ever been to Japan. I'm not asking for social engineering, only
humane treatment for foreigners of ALL colors.

>>883
The US is a 'multicultural' country meaning it is largely ghettoized and racially
divided. Generally speaking neighbourhoods are become ever more demarcated along
racial boundaries. Simply speaking, there is no comparison to the US because Japan is
a homogenous society with a sense of national community that the US does not have. Mexicans
and Blacks and Chinese do not have to integrate into society because they can and do choose
to live amongst their own kind by and large.

>one should try and overcome it

How do you plan on 'overcoming' it? White people make it tacitly clear they
do not want to live around black people with the phenomenon known as white
flight, which is actually increasing in urban areas. Black Senators in the US
vote along racial lines, the NAACP lobbies on behalf of black people, as do various
Hispanic groups on behalf of Spanish people.

The US is a racially segregated society in which each race looks out for its own interests.

....Except white liberals, who maintain the fantasy of a race-less, class-less society.

>>885
I'm not American. And I plan to stay, because I love it here.
I was merely trying to argue a point.

>let's replace the fist with a racial slur, and the physical damage with emotional damage.

So Governments and Organizations should legislate and make rules to protect people's feelings now?

Man the fuck up.

>>887

You are missing the point, you are asking to be treated as a Japanese person would when you are
clearly not Japanese. Of course the dynamic is going to be different. You can either be a man and
accept that you are not going to be able to live there operating under the illusion you are Japaneese.
Or you can continue in your current state and wail about how everyone is so mean to you.
of

>>889
Another point, the JET program won't last forever, it's a waste of Japanese
taxpayers money to employ useless, whiny half-wits such as yourself.

A black person of course, desires to live anywhere but his ancestral home while
advertising his ancestry as a point of pride for some reason.

What does this thread have to do with America? Look, all you crazy white
neo-nazis need to go find an American chat board to yelp on if you're
not willing to stick to the subject, okay?
Geez, so this is what happens when you drop out of high school.....you
can't even focus on one topic.

>>889
If you plant to stay here, don't complain.

>>890
They do have laws that protect against racial discrimination ("people's feelings") in the workplace, when buying homes, hate crimes, etc, in many countries (US included).

And what I'm saying is that we should be working toward a non-discriminatory Japan despite how unattainable that may very well be.
Or we could all just "man the fuck up" and ignore every issue that comes our way.

>>893
You won't be able to convince him. He is convinced that black people should
be free to go wherever they want and live in whatever country they choose, and
that everyone should abide by their wishes and treat them as if they were native
born Japanese/Norwegians/Finns/Poles/Russians....

This is lunacy, but it is what he expects.

>>891
I am in no way related to the JET program. Do with it what you will.

Normally, (English speaking, mainly white) foreigners living in Japan have gaijin priviledges, that's basically what lots of them come for to Japan in the first place.
We all know that, whether you enjoy the fact or not.
Some might not want any undue attention, but you do have that novelty side to being a gaijin anyway.
All I can say is, if you're oversensitive to being too different in a homogeneous society, Japan might not be for you.
Personally, I have no problem having foreingers here, as long as they don't mess up things here an there.

>They do have laws that protect against racial discrimination ("people's feelings") in the workplace, when buying homes, hate crimes, etc, in many countries (US included).

No, those 'workplace laws' aren't laws, they are regulations. And they're largely counter-productive.

I'm not sure what your point about home-ownership is. That doesn't relate to hurt feelings.

In any event, property owners should have the right to discriminate as they see fit.

>non-discriminatory Japan

What does this entail exactly? I know you're probably an advocate of mass immigration as most liberals are.

But what if the people do not want mass immigration?

Because the only way you're going to get rid of the tacit 'discrimination' (read: natural reaction
to racial differences) is to saturate the country with third worlders to the point where any concept
of community has been so utterly watered down as to be non-existent.

890- I am emphatically NOT asking to be treated as a nihonjin, I take
pride in who I am. I am asking to be treated as a PERSON, as all foreigners
should be. I am asking for no more than I give.
To answer your inevitable follow up question, no, I don't teach English.
Even if I did, though, I would still ask for my right not to have to suffer through racist behavior.
If I am here, earning money and benefiting Japanese society, it is the least I
deserve.

>>896

So you work privately then. What difference does it make? It's still a shitty
job for somebody who has virtually no prospects.

Tell me, do you advertise your blackness as a source of pride? If so, are you
proud of the fact your people will live anywhere but Africa?

You will do anything to live amongst whites, there are even blacks in Iceland now,
forming ghettoes in Rejkavic. When will you realise the monsters you are running from
are yourselves?

>>899
People are free to act however they want so long as it does not break any
laws.

If you find the fact Japanese are conscious of racial differences and react
to gaijin in a different way than they react to each other upsetting, then just leave.
Because that will never change. Ever.

I love Japan personally. I love it because it is unique, it is homogenous, it is so.... peculiar yet similar.

I would hate to see it become like we let our countries become, full of third world ghettoes, race riots, huge rape
rates, massive amounts of crime, no sense of community... Japan is the last bastion of a homogenous, developed country
along with a few other Asian examples.

In any countries, racists live. But, those who a foreigner believes are such a person are often
never such people. As most Japanese have no foreigners in their neighbourhood, sometimes
they don't often know how they treat foreigners. So, they often try to keep some distance from them.

If you want to have a friends of Japanese, it's most important for you to fit in with them, such as
talking to them from you at first.

>>900
I'm not black... I'm white.

895- There are quite a few Russian women here, too. They're usually
whores, though. I actually have a white American friend who gets
confused for one of them all the time (she's half-Russian).
A very uncomfortable and frightening situation for her every time that
happens. So, again, don't think precious white foreigners won't be
treated badly.

>>903
Then you are setting a bad example for all of us. Do you realise that probably many of the reasons
you like Japan are a result of its homogeneity? Would you like to see Tokyo with its own variant
of Brooklyn? Or a Osaka to become like Detroit and Baltimore? To become like we've become, losing all
of our traditions and culture?

You need to accept that with homogeneity, there is an 'us' and 'them' mentality. It is how the idea
of community is maintained, community is not an altruistic, welcoming concept.

Enjoy Japan, just don't ask to be accepted. Don't behave like a nigger and complain about racism. Please.

>>904
Don't you have anything more productive to do except chatting in 2ch on
weekend? Weekend is the time you can spend quality time.

Me? I have nothing to do except 2ch and masterbating. Thank you.

http://www.japanprobe.com/?p=6598
Yes, this is not racist at all.

>>904

That's not racism, if their anecdotal experiences of Russians have been,
broadly speaking, similar. Then what do you expect? It's only natural for
people to draw preconcieved notions based off experience. Would you keep on
touching an electric fence even though it electrocuted you the first 10 times?

Russians behave very badly in Japan from what I've heard anyway.

Whores should be treated right.

>>905
You raise many valid points. In fact, I suppose you're right, though I still hold on to my belief that there should be more equality and cultural understanding in Japan.

However, your use of the word "nigger" and general hatred of black individuals makes you seem dumb and ignorant.

A nigger is a nigger even if a nigger is awarded Nobel Prize.

>>910
Is it 'dumb' and 'ignorant' if I point out according to NCVS statistics gathered
for the year 2008, there were 40,000 black on white rapes while only 0 - 10 white
on black rapes?

Is it 'dumb' and 'ignorant' to point out that even if you use data controlling for social
variables, the best determinant of an area's violent crime rate in the US is not socioeconomic
status but the proportion of the population that is black or hispanic?

Is it 'dumb' and 'ignorant' to point out that many black people believe there is an omnipotent,
omnipresent, omniscient white entity in the universe that causes them to fail at life?

This is not 'racism'. Black people have destroyed urban centers all throughout the US, and what do
we do? We say that it's not their fault for committing crime, raping women and being chronically unemployed.

No more apologies.

I'd rather have a funky black dude in my neiborhood than a Neo Nazi gaijin. lol

908- SHE's not Russian, though. She's 100% America, born and bred, of
Russian ancestry, who happens to look Russian. For this, she gets
hassled and treated like a hooker. Other than that, she's an ok girl.
Has a degree, makes good money,etc.
My point was, don't think your whiteness or being an American will
protect you from racism here. So, quit being such a high and
mighty neo-nazi, you've never been to Japan, you DON'T know what it's
like here. Don't talk out your ass about things you don't understand
and call me a whiny nigger because you're an idiot who somehow can't
comprehend anything I and the other sane rational people here have
posted. Besides, this post wasn't meant to educate you anyway.

>>913
Until he robs you.

>you've never been to Japan, you DON'T know what it's like here

Like your anecdotal experience is somehow more valid than empirical evidence, reason and logic.

Go and complain about racism elsewhere.

But the neo nazi one might punch me just because I'm not white. lol

>>917
It's not true. Most White Nationalists are peaceful people, they don't want to live
in other countries anyway.

>hey don't want to live in other countries anyway.

Glad to hear that.

912- Whatever point you're trying to make is already an epic FAIL
because we're discussing JAPAN, not the U.S. An entirely separate
country that you've never been to, so please quit with your ignorance
already. Enough of the redneck inferiority complex, we get it.

916- What empirical evidence, reason and logic? You haven't given me
any of that, just more racist claptrap, same as I can get from any
other trashy white neo-nazi. You're a dime a dozen, and you're not my
problem. I don't have to live with you, but I do live in Japan.
The thing is, while I'm sure that Japanese people can be educated on
this subject, I'm pretty sure you're a lost cause. So, leave.

So, you said you are not Japanese, but white, though you don't sound like an American. What are you then?

When did I say I was white? I am African America and proud of it!

If you can't even figure out how 2ch's anonymous posting works, you
should head on back to whatever neo-nazi BBS you wandered out of.

That's right. I'm not the neo nazi guy. lol You can't really assume anything here.
And you can prove pretty much anything here, either.

wow, you *can't* prove anything here.

Ah....sorry. My bad, I guess things got a little heated. Sorry
about that, man.

All I can tell is that you've shaved it in rising-sun shape, am I right?

Huh?

The most interesting subject I encountered today was Russian whores.
Let's talk about them.

Can't say I really know too much about whores, I wouldn't pay for it,
if that's what you mean. Besides, those girls look dirty and worn hard,
not something I'd want to pay for.

You pay for it? Was it worth the money?

That is an overt discrimination towards whores generally, they should be treated equally as human beings.
That said, from what you just said, I can tell you are a virgin, so never mind.

I treat them as human, humans who are likely to give me STD's. I'll
talk to them, treat them like people, I just don't have sex with them.
That's not discrimination, it's not racist.
I think sex is the one area where you can discriminate.
If you can't, that's your problem.

You call them dirty, worn hard , based on a mere assumption that they are.
You do have a great deal of prejudice when you say you don't know much about them.
Any form of discrimination comes from ignorance, prejudice, and most definitely, hatred.
You've just proved that point youself clearly no matter how hard you deny it.

I know what I see. If I'm in Roppongi and I see a woman, any
nationality who looks like she's been around the block more than I have,
I'm not gonna hit that. More than that, I don't have to pay for it.
I don't hate them, I just won't have sex with them. I can get a clean
girl for free, so why pay for it?

The fact remains that you are most likely a virgin. That is, you will have to pay for it eventually.
Believe it or not, there will be a day when you thank a whore for what you can get.
Therefore, you should educate yourself and change.

Men who don't have sex with whores are virgins? That's bad news for
Japanese men,in America I never had to pay for it.
No, I will never need to thank a hooker for anything, unless I get
directions.

I have no idea what's the difference between painting face black and dyeing hair blonde.
It's same to Japanese.

There's a huge difference there, just look at the links.

If so, educate all Japanese. Average Japanese doesn't know the difference.

Well, you are in serious denial, you have yet to know what a real woman is like.
Perhaps, fapping to an anime character might count in your definition of sex,
but that's not what it takes to be a real man in reality. You need to face what
you can do for yourself realistically. Just be protected.

Why don't you educate all the Japanese people you know and save me some
time?

942- If you're paying for it, you're not getting the real woman.
She's faking it, she's probably got STD's and there is no amount of
latex that is gonna help you if it breaks. If you pay for it, that's cool.
I'm not judging you, man. I'm just saying that's not my style, and will
never be my style.

Considering the fact you don't sound like a mac daddy type, I guess you'll have no choice though,
but if you choose to stay that way for the rest of your life, that's that then...

What way? The not paying to get syphilis way? Look, I can get better
pussy, cleaner pussy just hanging around any military base. I can go
to Shibuya, Yokohama, Fussa and meet a nice, clean girl. I
don't need to pay for it. I never have before, and I won't start now.

You are being way too difficult here, dude.
You know you're never gonna get a girl in real life, that's why we're trying to give you some advice so
you won't freak out about a silly chorus group ever again. It's okay to guy a hooker.

Dude, I do not need a hooker and what does that have to do with blackface
anyway? Seriously, why are Japanese guys so interested in my sex life?
Trust me, I'm all good on that front.

Because obviously you're sexually deprived for too long.
Have good mind blowing sex, preferably a professional job, and you'll be alright.
You didn't even realize that's what it's all about?

All I know is you tend to stare at my dick a lot when I go to the onsen
and wonder why I don't pay for hookers on 2ch. Look, I really don't
have to pay for it. I can go to a bar, find an American girl, watch her
get hit on by guys who don't have a clue, swoop in and rescue her and I'm
good. That works here, better than when I went for Japanese girls. The
sex is great, I don't catch anything and I can talk in English after.
The only reason I'm frustrated now is the girl I'm into is kinda shy, so
I'm trying to go slow. She just broke up with some Japanese dude and
she's a little freaked about going out with anybody right now.

Frankly speaking, I'm getting tired of this stupid chit chat with you.
Gonna eat my dinner now. Read some wiki articles about blackface or something if you want some more discussion.
Bye, fool.

Have fun with your gonnorhea, man.

Hope you learned something useful from those links I posted. Thanks for
telling me more than I wanted to know about whores.

Hollywood doesn't do blackface anymore! oh wait http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0942385/

Why do you educating Japanese people in real life instead of rebuking them in this undergroud world?
If you don't say it's racist in real life, that means you accept racist doesn't it?

What's going on here
That's ridiculous isn't it?
nobody knows about the truth nobody
then see for yourselves Thank you

I can't understand the people condem racist here don't have guts to protest in real life.
They accept racist in their real life, don't they?

I realized each discrimination also has a light and a dark side.

nobody.. no one read my spider story. i feel like sulking 2chan.

Seems like shitty topics are popular in 2chan.
Love and culture topics didn't catch on.

I read your story with feeling sadness of the natural world, although I haven't replied.

I asked a question here. Please check it out when you have time.

Thank you.

>I am African America and proud of it!

Why would you be proud of that? The entire continent of Africa was owned
by Europeans. Africans are so proud of being African they choose to live
anywhere but Africa.

>>961 thank you for reading it. I think i was being a bit selfish.

hey guys, why don't you cheer up a little. let's accept the world as it is,
with humans that can be hostile but gentle at the same time, with life
cruel but rewarding at the same time. Just concentrate on things that are
refreshingly different and interesting, keep on learning about the
ways of life and learn how to deal with it. one can be born into
a disadvantaged situation because simply some other group of humans
decided thatit was so. Therefore do not play the game according to their
rules. Human scan be powerful to a large extent but there is no absolute power.
NAtura has it ways of dealing living things who think they are invincible.
Just read my spider story and you will see what i mean.
If you are faced with a difficult situation, deal with it. If you are
fail again and again, devise methods to deal with it. Difficult situations will only
make you understand what you are made of. So move on guys.

I don't like hamburger.
Am I qualified to live in the US?
Thank you.

Hamburger enjoyment is mandatory for all US residents.
Sorry.

the world is not US. there are billions out there that dont know what a hamburger is.
Some of them don't even have access to drinking water and look what you are worried about.
Developed countries grow up and learn please.

I failed the Hamburger Proficiency Test and was kicked out of the US.

>>969
Was it a multiple-choice test?

>>970
Yes. I'm so ashamed that I failed.
I fear there is only one thing I can do to rectify the situation.
I must jump in front of a subway train, naked and covered in raw hamburger meat.

>>971
You don't have to.
They say the Hamburger Proficiency Test is much higher than the enterance exam for Harvard university
with regard to difficulty level.
So you should study harder and give it a try once again next year.

You know in Japan, there is also a proficiency test that all sojourners must take?
The test includes a sequence of events such as staying at a capsul hotel overnight,
go to the Tsukiji fish market at 5am, eat sushi breakfast then go to the Takao mountain.
This is the grade 1 test.

>>972
Thank you! You have given me hope!
As I sit here, naked, covered in hamburger meat, I have gained a new outlook on life.
As a token of my thanks, I will send you the subway ticket I no longer have any use for.

>>968
Nobody is stopping them from building wells.

>>975
But they are too hungry to build one.

We should all shoot cheese out of cannons into undeveloped nations.
They will have all the cheese they would ever want.

What if they are allergic to milk?
Rice balls, instead?

>>978
How about rice balls AND cheese? A joint Japan-America humanitarian effort.

I believe that we are ushering in a new age of prosperity, good sir.
We will be heroes. We will be legends.

Make it happen.

>>976
Necessity is the mother of invention

Who's the father? Is invention a bastard child?

Plz add kimchi to make it a tri-party humanitarian effot.
thank you.

Only if you agree to spell it "please" from now on.
We will not have you disgracing our organization.

Pretty plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz
forgive me.

That's it, I'm burning the kimchi.

How about starting the NGP(nippon glorious party or never giving-up party)?

What would be the manifesto for the Glorious party?
And the president...Kano-sisters?

The manifesto for the Nipoon Glorious Party is making Japanese jokes prevail and the world happy.
President? Of course, it's me.
