Hey!!! All 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, Weeaboo from around the world, learners of Japanese who are too lazy to update their Japanese blogs very often, cunning linguists, stupid fan girls of Johnny's Boys, Touhou pirates, and that electrical super-gay who suffers from mental disease - This is your thread! Let's hope Igirisu-jin and the Internet-addicted housewife will come back soon!
This is the place to have a blast!!!!! Let's continue to support recovery efforts in Japan!!!!!
Im so sick and tired of going to thread I used to stay Not all but few are very aggressive and so depressing
Im a neet and I dont feel this is not good but I`d been working for a long time so I think it`s so nice to have time of my own
But someone is saying, " you guys HAVE TO earn more money until we get to 40" I really hate this "HAVE TO" thing...it`s not in my dictionary
Actually, Im not good at planning and I believe that plan does not work at all Some says, there will be difference and I totally agree with them but to me, it`s a big deal
Many "HAVE TO" people are more likely to commit suicide, when they fail I was like that before and got so tired of that type of thinking
There is no "HAVE TO" in our life. It`s just what some ruler made it to make some life easier to live. When I look at the history, there is no 100% guarantee, all we can do is just to be in our best condition. But it`s still okay, it you cant
Going to university, though youre not that interested, I spent such a rediculous time there because of "HAVE TO" thing...Im so sick and tire of HAVE TO people and I really dont even feel like speaking with them. Including my parents
when i was a student there were too much "HAVE TO" things and I was a bit exausted. I understand some but I dont understand we need them all. I prefer like or dislike.
I studied hard because I dislike a situation where I cant choose a job That`s not totally "have to" But when I was in high school, my parents start to say bunch of "have to" and I really had hard time understanding them. I kind of feel that they just want control over my life. Though, I forgive them because Im not that "have to" people so I understand that people make mistakes but whenever they start to say "have to" I really hate it
Are you the caregiver-san lady? I read your comments on the position of Japanese women in society. Many thanks for enlightening me. You mentioned that the system is not so bad, that the women have the upper hand, and that we foreigners (who actually have a diverse set of values simply because there are many different countries) do not understand this detail and attack your system. I have not said anything negative about your system of values. However I have one comment, that is , because it is your tradition, we are expected to respect it. How can you expect foreigners to respect a tradition they don't understand when they only see the surface?
I think it`s very nice question. I consider 2 reasons for this.
We are not used to explaining things This is because our culture is, to notice what others demanding before they ask you to do something for them.
Most women, not today, were taught to be sensible. They were told to move before asked If she is noted by elderly, it was pretty humiliating, feeling stupid
However, these things changed these days, and no one feel humiliated anymore It`s like " so what " I think only family with old tradition, only few, still have these kind of old dicipline, but if you go to rural district, you`ll find some tradition like this
The another reason is because we feel humiliated since WWII. Many elderly lost their confidence to talk about our tradition especially in front of foreigners
It would be much better if we just abandon these tradition, but everywhere you go, some are still alive in daily life Maybe it`s inside somewhere in our DNA
Japanese is pretty complicated. Im Japanese but I also feel that way We dont say, but that does not mean that we dont feel something We feel but we give signs in other ways
The famous story is that in Kyoto, when you are served a rice with tea poured on it, it means, please leave Few Japanese dont like people from Kyoto, because we hear they are pretty good with expressions like that
So when foreigners come to Japan and say whatever thing they want to say, it is most likely that people in Japan just becomes quiet
In other countries, being quiet means, you win, but not in Japan Japanese is more malicious. They`ll change the expression and tell you what they think so many foreigners are so confused sometimes
Some Japanese are not like that, but most of those people are someone who studied abroad
When Im talking with foreigners, most of the times I feel they are clear about Yes and No but in Japan, we`re more like, " I understand, but" " Yes I feel the same as you do, but"
Maybe some foreiners feel funny about this but Japan is just an Island, you know, we dont actually like to fight, so it is very important not to mess around with others
I think we have very mild culture, and we are not used to deny all We leave some space for other opinions. We feel uncomfortable pushing our own opinions 100%
Although, these things are pretty much changing today I know that it is very good thing that people speaks out but some are very confusing and hard to understand but I think it`s all the same in other countries too
>>11 I think we`re equal now and we`re just having various types of family from now on. Although, some men thinks housewives are easily job but I really have doubt about that
It`s really easy to start a new thing and break the old tradition, but once you break them, you must remember, that it is not easy to revive that tradition once again
Everybody are so desperate about never knowing new types of something but new type is filled with lots and lots of problems
No matter what you say, gaijins will never understand what you actually mean. They simply don't have the ability to understand the Japanese cultures and values.
>Although, some men thinks housewives are easily job but I really have doubt about that
Exactly. American parents make their children frozen food every day? Housewife work is very important. Foreigners discriminate housewife. They are not logical.
>>14 I personally don`t like to catagorize We tend to do that but Im feel weird sometimes It totally stop one`s thinking, when you catagorize It`s the fastest and easiest way to solve a problem but I dont like that much sometimes
Did something happen in the previous thread, part175 ? I saw that thread on Monday morning and went on a trip to see sea. Next time I see part 175 now, that thread already vanished. Is there so many respond in this thread ?
I heard white people living in Japan make quick money as a part time preacher for Western style wedding ceremony. They are not certificated. On top of that some of them are not Christian.
If your tongue is English, you can easily get English teaching job here in japan. Even though most of them don't have any qualifications and experiences and even some don't have a degree, still they can get a job! Wtf
>>28 It`s too bad that i hate kids. I really love my nephews but I hate other kids I have this fear that when you get near that school, you get a little older I really love playing with nephews and I dont like that school thing...do you understand me? If I like kids then I probably had licence to work at kindergarden by now
Being white is SO prestigious!!!!!!!!! It's not fairrrrrrr!!!!!! one of my white friends who is not that good looking has some modelling jobs and gets pretty good money! Because she is WHITE!!!!! I hate this whitewashed culture!!!!!!!!!!
I know it`s very weird for me to say this but my sister is so pretty and she was so famous everywhere she went But I know her beauty will gradually decrease when she gets involved with elementary school I can`t stand that
Im not that beatiful like her but I have this instinct that why the hell i have to get old, for other kids. If i dont have kid, I do not want to get involved
I totally believe taking care and raising children really absorb women`s youth My sister was really beautiful when she had a baby. Like she had this beautiful skin but when she gets involved with elemetary, Im think that`s so scary
One of my aunts, had a baby, and she had been working but she still looks older than other siblings who doesnt have a kid at all
I hear a word, " beautiful midage women" but I dont know how they manage that but I think that`s pretty a rare case. Eventhough, you smoke, you wake up late during night, people with no kid, looks younger.
My grand-aunt raised my mom and my grandma worked instead and they`re almost the same age, but my grandma looks 20yrs younger than my grand-aunt
It seems having too much sex also make some women look old Keeping your own pace might be very important
I been out with 2 guys in my life, but isn`t that pretty good for early 30s? They`d been pretty nice, gave me whatever thing I wanted at that time. I`ve done my best too. We`d been together for about 5yrs but they still love me, and I do too. No more lovers but as a friend
I was so depressed about not having a child, I didnt get pregnant at all, but when I was reading many threads and noticed that many people have not experienced friendship after break-up or divorce. Probably, Im gifted
Some are borned to be a mother, and some don`t have that chance Sad, but I want to believe that there`s some meaning to it
I can`t believe that I had a divorce! lol At that time I thought it was so impossible for us to be together anymore Now I think that maybe I could have done better, if I had been calmed down and think awhile. Although, we cares anymore
My ex-husband is going to blind date and all those things and he`s moving forward and I don`t wanna mess around with his life. We`re totally over He looked quite sad, but everyone is sad after the divorce, so I told him to find a right ones dont rush. Another break-up will be much harder to overcome than this one. He told me that he never had a thought of divorce but he told me that he`ll move on. We said good luck to each other last time we met Hope we`re both happy when we meet again
>>39 you`ll understand when you get this midage crisis It really sucks I love spring but I hate summer in Japan it`s so humid and all I enjoy is watching baseball
hey, greeting to middle-aged woman who had broken out with two men, likes baseball and worried about aging resulting from child. it might be safe to say that you are the main cause why there are so many postings in this thread recently compared to before. given your postings, I can consider you to has good command of English but to be a little too negative and has few friends. I feel sympathy for you ^^
absolutely, I only have few friends Everyone is busy raising children and working I use to like seeing new people but not now, it just makes me really tired
It`s probably b/c people I see outside are those who is not still married and all they talk about getting married. Pretty boring. Also who are busy raising children, have no time to think about others yet
All the young singles are too young to talk about divorce stuff
Hi Caregiver-san. Please do not take notice of these little boys who are incapable of dealing with their OWN emotional and sexual frustration, let alone someone else's ifficult life situations. I am having a good conversation with you, and learning from you, about your society so I would like to thank you.
But I was wondering why are some divorced are really offensive? It`s like high level of testrones everywhere
I can`t believe one of women got divorced b/c her husband cheated her only once Everyone else was like, what are you going to do with ur children, then she was saying that she is so busy raising children and have no time, but all the sudden, she started to say, I dont wanna go out with this man anymore... and I was like holy crap. She said that has no time, but she sure had a time to see a man???
Guys, we are really westernized, I dont even think she knows a lot about wetern civilization though. She is like yappi we`re free!
It`s really nice to hear that. Im a Neet so I know I dont have right to criticize about other people but Im wondering why some guys, who seems to be really young, dont get their gf
If they ever find a right girl and have a really nice sex, I know they`ll have a higher chance getting back to the right track
All they need to learn is to lean on someone to help each other than attacking a crippled midage woman like me
March is almost ending and Im planning to see cherry blossom tomorrow I hope there will be no rain. I remember that ex and I went to picnic together and we watched cherry blossom few yrs ago. Time runs pretty fast Im so sad that we were not able see these beautiful flowers together this year and now on
Everybody tells me that Im thinking too much but I`ll never get used to breaking up I know this pain will heal someday though, but right now is the hardest time
When I was in my early 20s, my ex-bf and I helped each other so much to get along with society. I think we were so odd. I think I couldnt live without him until today
We really loved and we were relying on each other so much but we were too young to handle our feelings
I think I`ll never be able to love someone like that again It`s only for young people b/c Im so hurt now by the past experience and I already know what to do whenever I date a guy.
Getting clever is kind of sad
Everyone is given equal time and opportunity but someone is just too stingy to spend your emotions and time for others, eventhough they have something to share
I'm sick of this old man who pretends to be someone else by using these tricks like the weird apostrphy. How long are you going to continue this boring garbage in this thread? You have done enough already, have you not?
Old broad, I will be a sophomore man starting April in my university and not interested in how a WOMAN who is worried about not having child thinks at all. Listen, old broad, I dont mind whatever you type and no matter how long sentences you type, and you should post what content you like after all. Once in a while, however, type about something interesting, say, about how you had learned Engslish as concretly as possible as of today or your miserable life.
You know what Japanese men lack...though I dont have a lot of experience, I know this Japanese men are hard working and smart, I admit this, but they're not good with loving women
Thats exactly why some men are dumped by women, when he becomes useless or crippled
I see a lot guys words in many threads but it was really suprising to see many were so uncivilized. What were they exactly doing in their teens and 20s? Probably, just watching porns. And their mama taking care of them all day
Then they marry the one who`s just okay, and theyll just acting like theyre a MAN. I dont think so That kind of life is so poor
>>55 oh, a man who has brick head.... it's so cool! thanks a bunch// Anyway, as a old braod says, I dont know how a bitch like her thinks, does, loves someone who's good for nothing. I have experience of dating with women and was intimate with them, but I'm so sorry, as she says,, I don't understand their persistent and emotional personality and I guess she should be so. So come to me and teach about woman affair.
so what? Im yet teenager and can't and want to imagine old man's feeling. Seeing your comments, you probably focus on others' feeling but what you should thinks now is yourself. you know,your are a little crazy
this is why I dont like young people they are too direct and not that fun but though, some still dont changed even if they aged your life is just like a dried food
when youre young, what are you doing in front of pc? your penis grade gradually decline as you age, some become like women when they get to age of 40, its totally so called end of their life
They start doing miserable things like taking viagra or whatever, or start searching young girls, because they want their youth once again This is a free country but you sure dont want to be like that when you get old. So dont waste your time and have a lot of sex when youre young with girls you love.
Men who spent time like that dont end up miserable like men above
when I'm young, you said? come on.. I'm still young. Do you happen to say about 30 or 40 years old ? If that's the case, you should know the IT affair more. PC had not spread rarely when those men were young and naturally there was little things we could do using such an old PC.
Westerners always justify their heinous actions in the past like colonisation and they are proud of them because they think they enormously developed infrastructures and stuff like that. What a shameless people...
America jin hope that the Japan before 1945 was evil. Their justice needs Japan was evil and that America jin made Japan now. So America jin want to think that Nanking , Ianpu and other false history are truth. Japanese false evil justified two atomic bomb.
Japanese want to live forward but don't want to live in Japan, which the false story become fact. always looking back the history must be said to Korean.
Why are all these threads all about Korean stuff? You guys have no other topics to talk about?
The cherry blossoms were so beautiful. It`s once a year, so we could only see them few more times
I dated with guys few times under cherry blossoms but you guys suck By the way, Im going out this weekend, planning to see the cherrie blossoms again It`s pink all over and it`s really sweet
Take my advise, stop talking about Korean thing in front of your gf, it must be very borning. What kind of things do you talk, when ur with gf? Pls dont say, economics, politics, or whatever...I kinda make oba-san so sad
When ur with guys maybe that`s okay, but not with girls. They will be so bored Esp not erotic things...you know that right?
Some of you here are easy on offensive words to women and foreigners that makes us think you guys are really, really need psychological treatment. If you suggest a good topic of course we would join in but WHERE IS THE TOPIC? If you are intelligent enough, you would, but are you?
some of 2chan people are sometimes radical b/c its anonymous i hate talking about politics or wars b/c im no interest on those stuffs
I mean there are a lot of place where you can discuss about those things but im wondering why here?
and whenever i talk about my romance with guys, theyre like attacking me like i said too much testosthorone
im new here so i dont know what was the topic before but sometimes few people starts talking about Korea, politics,all those things in other non related threads and some are really disgusted by that Although, they keep on saying that all day
Im paranoid so I truely understand their feelings, they just wanna spill out their feelings but you know...like me, pretty annnoying
My favorite country is here, Japan We have 4 seasons, people are mild, foods are very delicious, like you can eat so many foods from other countries, you can walk during night, love hot spring, etc etc
Its so painful to hear many bad news today, but I really hope someday those things will be corrected gradually
In Japan, we enjoy all the seasons In Spring, we go see cherry blossoms, enjoy hiking, we eat and drink underneath the cherry blossoms It is also wonderful during night Today, I saw a lot of visitors from foreign countries
In summer, we have beautiful oceans everywhere so eventhough youre not suimming, you can go to hot spring and enjoy watching ocean from there. Also there are many pools, so you can go there too with your family
And dont forget that there are many festivals during summer I wear Yukata, and go have some fun during night
In Autumn, you get to see many beautiful falling leaves with colours and temples. Moon are gorgeous too
In Winter, we set "KOTATSU," in living room, and we enjoy watching tv I think food is so good during winter, many enjoy "Nabe" with many winter vegetables at last we put noodles or rice
I want to go to so many foreign countries like India Malaysia Indonesia Taiwan brazil Sweden Finland Russia Mexico Thailand etc etc But I don't have money enough since I'm still in college....
In every summer, I used to spend in country-side I take my nephews these days...but I think we`re having very serious envoronment problems. When I was young, I used to swim in the river. My grand aunt came to pick us up in the afternoon
Now there are many morons, so we cant leave children alone
When I was a child, it was annoying have adults with us We played then when grand^aunt came to pick us up, we bought icecream at a very small market and slept in Tatami, listening to cicadas with so many sounds
When we wake up, olderly gave us watermelon to eat
During night, my mom or grandma they used to tell us a stories In summer, they told us very scary old stories like "rokurokubi," "ear lost Houichi," and "sara-yashiki" Its very hot in Japan, we didnt have air conditioner so they fanned Uchiwa(Japanese fan), I remember those 2 blue colored bonbon twelring around in front of a family buddhist altar and sound of old clock
We were all asking, " why why why" so many times
The next day, we went to get some toads, tadpoles, and crayfishes When we had some then we went to nearest park to get dragonflies and cicadas
>>100 when I was a college student, I used to visit many places It was pretty good experience
When you start working, you have money but no time Eventhough you have a long vacation, its really expensive and more than that, you see many Japanese people everywhere and you just dont really feel like ur in a foreign country
In my dictionary, I dont call that vacation at all
If you dont choose season, then price will be very low and also you can also get a student discount Trip to Asia is pretty cheap
I hope u enjoy your vacation while ur in a college
It seems that there are so many people in real world and in this thread who like complaining about trifle things and think of themselves as those who have the most difficult time in this world. They, however, can't and even try to know how fortunate they are.
A truly miserable people like me wish from the bottom of his heart that this rotten country, Japan, would be collapsed resulting from economic, military matter or something. I'm 19 years student from high level university compare to others. I'm now desparetely studying English, IT(mainly programming, say, Java, C) and law to become one of the people who crush this fucking country in the future.
It's so, so ,so disgusting to see brat citizen in this country. I'll definitely see the painful faces those fucking people will make someday.
I see all sorts of levels of English proficiency here. To those that have only remembered how to insult and swear at people, I salute you. A truly noble past time; I think most of the French I know is swear words or phrases comparing people to various animals, so I can relate.
For those of you who study English of your own volition, how are you finding your studies? What's the biggest challenge? Grammar? Vocabulary? Something else? Do you get much experience speaking it?
>>107 Hello. I live in a rural area so I dont get to speak English much in my life Although, when I was working in the office few years ago, I had a friend from different country so I spoke English everyday. Now she`s married to American and left Japan, so I dont see her much
Its pretty weird to talk Englisn when there is exactly no one speaking them around you Especially in rural area, people just look at you when you start speaking in English and I dont like that much
I just read some magazines, talk with friends and siblings sometimes, and watch my fav tv programs to brush up my English skills
It was quite interesting to search foreign documents and translate only some in Japanese and paste them on to these threads
I was really into it couple months ago b/c some guys absolutely believed that aged women`s pregnancy will end up having children with diseases That a fact, but I was suprised how some people dont have much info about that
Actually, the autistic is mostly from aged father. The guys over 30, i guess, were really screaming that all the women should have married earlier and they had no clue about quality of sperms decreasing as they get older
Some still dont believe, and they`re still saying that aged women are the only problem with having diaabled children eventhough, I gave them a document from net for reference, they just can not read...
I did quite a nice thing to warn them that they should have their babies before age of 35 to have healthy children b/c that`s exactly when their sperms are beginning to get damaged
Autism is one of those things that really scares parents I think, probably in a large part because they don't understand it, and like to think it's not so random as to be able to effect their children randomly.
So you get things like the above, or those anti-vaccine people, even though the study that showed any link between autism and vaccines was debunked thoroughly.
Should I be sageing the thread? Apologies if my 2ch etiquette is poor.
It`s okay. I dont even know much about 2ch either. Some people prefer sage but i dont know a lot of the difference between sage and age. But when you age the thread, sometimes I see someone who just comes in and starts to swear, so maybe sage is little better
I know some kids who are autistic, but it`s quite interesting to find out that those kids fathers are someone who works in the science field I had these theory, so I asked in some threads and some people disagree
So I went to see different sources and it was still a theory, but I found exactly the same kind of saying, that others are thinking the same way
This person was explaining that autism has DNA close to of scientists I dont know thats a fact but I was quite convinced because those autistic children are pretty talented in a certain field
And you know that some scientists are close to autistic, sometimes They`re not good with talking with others. Weird sometimes
Every facts are from theories, though Im not a scientists, its not my field but only curiosity
I know some autistic people too, and while they can be quite tiring to deal with in a social sense (just not having any idea of what's appropriate for what situation, or sometimes even not being able to read faces) they are often quite brilliant in other ways; science and technology, like you say, but music, maths, those sorts of things too.
Dont you think handicapped is way too big deal in Japan? I see no physically disabled students studying in normal school in Japan I saw a lot of disabled students in normal school when i was studying in States and some were so smart. Some people were helping them and it wasnt a lot of job to do so
I see a lot of disabled people in the street nowadays, and I feel very good about that. I dont know about the serious disabled people, but I think its very important to not to make weird lines between disabled and not disabled.
I hate people saying, " you cant do blah blah blah" Its their choice and its not other`s business to say so
I like Japan so much but I really hate it when they start to say those things without knowing what they are capable of
Everyone has their cross to bear, and so perhaps we shouldn't be so quick to classify things that make people different as diseases or disabilities. I know (not personally) that some deaf people take the same approach to deafness (see the wikipedia article on "Deaf culture" or "ろう文化")
Nothing is ever as simple in life as it first appears, is it?
>>114 I know they are sometimes annoying b/c they dont read what other`s saying and the problem with Japanese society is not taking time for others
I think, it is very important to take time for those people expecially when they start new things, but all they say is " I got no time " " he/she is weird " I think that`s pretty cruel society to live in because we all going to get crippled somewhere in our lives
When I went to visit Osaka, it was a rush time, but there was a guy who is blind, and I could not believe that NO ONE is helping him to get on a train! I did it but its not that hard. You just have to take their hand and warn him the step and so.
I dont believe that everyone dont have that time to do so...
Japan has this serious problem that people are committing suicide, including young ones. I think it is like that because everyone is just interested in themselves too much.
When you go to nursing homes, it much more awful sometimes, because eventhough, he/she has family, they dont come to visit them saying that they`re just busy...I believe some, but I dont believe them all
>>116 that`s so rediculous. I think its the same thing with diet in Japan when you go see some diet threads, its abosolutely so insane
I see everywhere, but espcially in Japan, that when ur fat, they feel no place to fit in. If she is way too fat maybe she needs a diet but if she`s normal then she needs no diet
But like you see somepeople so stupid enough to advise them about being fat is blah blah blah...and I really hate to read them makes me really upset sometimes
When ur too young, I think it is so understandable that you want to be like others and cannot tolerate being different from others
Though, when you get older, you kind of accept it, bad and good. so that you are also able to accept others weakness.
Sad thing that I really find some beautiful women in Japan, but I dont see many adults or maturily in Japan
People are always saying," you have to, you have to" do you know how it`s very exausting and really toturing young people when adults are also like that
>>112 This thread, and the English board as a whole is a desolate, forgotten place infested with worms and cockroaches, so no one would care if you sage'd or not. It only matters in populated boards. Just keep in mind, those which you are talking to are not humans but worms and cockroaches.
Its a spring break so i see a lot of young people these days There are so many ways to spend ur time during the break but I heard on the news that students dont go to trips today
But they can handle many devices so maybe theyll find many friends from other nations and its quite close to visiting to foreign countries Although, I think it is much more different if they visit other countries, theyll know a lot of difference
Women are quite good at adapting into new environment, but for men as they age, they start to get rigid and hard to adapt new things So I think men especially need to go out and see many people as possible when they`re still young
its really fun reading threads all over its anonymous so people are quite true to their instincts some are really disgusting but some are so pure some are so stupid, i keep on laughin
My personal favourite are the internet tough guys that threaten violence when they get angry. When the technology to transmit a fist over TCP/IP is developed, then I'll be more worried.
>>129 I have no clue about devices Everythings are getting very complicated and i have no interest at all I hear some guys talking about devices and systems sort of things, but makes me wanna go to sleep. They explain to me but still i have no clue catching up those words are the hardest thing to do in my life
Have you seen the news few days ago about this military general got caught by a police because he stole the military documents and gave them to Chinese girl???
I was like WOW! On the news it said that he had his own family! Its so incredible! Honey trap is so dangerous Is that Chinese girl really pretty or does she look like Kijima? thats my biggest interest
North Korea doing yet more sabre rattling, I see. Part of me wants them to do something so it can be turned to glass and get rid of all that tension, but then I remember all the innocent people living there.
I guess all I can say is "there but for the grace of God go I" and hope that Kim Jong-un is just scaring up foreign aid again and won't do something stupid.
>>136 in the United States, it was Hawaii I was so suprised to hear that news but thought it could happen anywhere
my sister have sons but she is always saying that she doesnt want her children to be so acedemic because they are likely to get caught by some nasty women
She said that those men are just too pure and they need to have some experience So I told her that it`s okay to play around with girls but they need to have condom everywhere they go, or no sex allowed, when they grow up, like in middle school
You cant stop boys being stupid, right? Girls are easy to handle but not boys, i guess. Im quite worried about nephews b/c nowadays, there are a lot of women who are capable of ruining one`s life
My sis and I were talking like we better find someone to marry with them instead of they getting on their own, if we dont like that girl We want no mess with those nasty girls
>>119 I hate you, old woman. But I partly agree to your opinion. Lots of people tend to value what others do too much. However I think you should cut on your weight a little bit more.
>>142 Oh really? Wow. Well he'll be in for a fun time; the Americans don't take treason lightly, even for low level officials, let alone the higher ranking officers.
Parents with only boys say they wish they had girls, and parents with only girls say they wish they had boys. One of those universal constants.
>>144 my dad wanted a boy but my mom is so satisfied with girls because boys dont contact their parent a lot We chat like everyday. My mom and us are like sisters now Eventhough, we have a big fight over, next day we just dont care much
Mom said if she had a boy, maybe she had more difficulty to raise them because our society is like this today. Our childhood friends are mostly boys but they`re having so much difficulties than girls
My sis is so obsessed with her children but we talk so many things about raising children, bad women, and school stuffs
>>136 i know, i really feel sorry for civilians in N Korea Id seen this little young boy who are disabled who has no parents, some are even street children, on tv. It was quite shocking
I hate N Korea because they keep on saying stupid things like shooting missles but I feel so sad for those people who lives there
But do you know its all the same in Japan I`d seen some orphans here in Japan They all look sad. Everyone must have their father or mother with them I got this very weird feeling that children are raised under in this very special environment. I know there are a lot of stupid people so it`s not easy to look after other kids but it`s very disappointing to see that
I noticed moms are more narrow-minded than those who doesnt have kid at all They only concentrate on their own kids, and pretty cold to other kids, i guess
Eventhough, someone adapts a kid, some moms says, dont you worry that there might be some abuse? lol thing...and im quite shock to hear that
Its like having their own children is the only sacred thing and they dont care about rest of other children who dont get enough of love from adults
"I got this very weird feeling that children are raised under in this very special environment" I totally agree. It must be something to do with hormones. But I have seen that sometimes animals adopt stray animals and look after thenm as their own, very interesting.
I have a date tomorrow(*^_^*) I better go to sleep
I love this baseball player so much and he did really good job today, so I think I can sleep well tonight
>>154 Hi Kame Girl, I think so too. I had so many pets but they were all sweet Its really sad to see them pass away and my mom is also so hurt by a loss, so we dont have no pet anymore
My sis was always taking pets home, though, she never took care of them, so I was the one who took care of them. My parents always allow my sis to do everything, because whenever she starts to whine, she`ll never stop until they admit
But Im so happy all the time cause whenever I wanted pets they always said no I brought some home saying that my sis got them for me so actually, there were pets all over lol
I saw a lot of flowers yesterday while i was walking to town They were all so pretty. Spring has come♪(*^_^*)♪
>>159 Are corrections okay? 'Will' reads better than 'would', here. The way the sentence is constructed, it seems like it's just indicating the past tense of 'will', so it sounds a little odd.
Good morning! it is kind of cloudy around here today Im going out for lunch today so I was planning to wear kimono but I better not. There might be some rain
I bought this very pretty Yu-ki kimono in a light pink with mom I found light white silver Nagoya-obi at old clothes store so I really wanted to try that on. Too bad
I bought this very cute cheap beads bag that fits my kimono
I have got to think something different to wear today
middle-aged woman's gonna date with man. it's so amazing!! it seems that she is worried about not marring, and complains about those who has their own child, so it would be good for her to be able to get marry with him. but I'm wondering if she could be so free as to write that wordy and boring sentences day after day in spite of having boyfriend. we can assume that she is irritated by someone in this thread who calls her 'old broad' or "those who cannot marry" or something so she lied. in fact, there is possibility that she is single woman forever and ever. anyway, I wish you luck!
I think it would be in her best interest to stay alone rather than date men like you guys on this thread. You have no respect for yourself nor anyone else.
It`s quite a morning Being single is not that bad but also get marrying with a guy is not that bad either, if he is nice. I got divorced by it wasnt that bad because we didnt have a lot of difficulty to split. I was so suprised that some people really quarrel about money and other things We didnt have any kind of that. We did have a big fight before divorce but none of those money problems. I guess I was lucky
When I have a child, it will get so much harder to divorce so I got to be careful this time Although, my ex wasnt that so bad, he just wasnt the right one
>>166>>167 KameGirl san thank you so much It`s so sweet to hear those things, especially in the morning(*^_^*)
I don`t know if Im getting married to this guy or not yet but I just want to enjoy
This time I really need to be careful because last marriage, I think I wasnt thinking much. I better let my siblings and friends talk to him once. If no one disagrees then I think that will be okay
But dont know, how far we can go because marriage is also a luck, right(^_^;)
>>160 You are one of those annoying gaijins! These fucking gaijins always nitpick non natives English! This is why these people are hated just because they are born as a native English speaker they take it for granted that everyone speaks perfect English wtf they do not have any ideas how hard learning English is for Japanese!
If I say something with some errors, fucking gaijins immediately respond like you should fix your grammar bla bla bla
Maybe fucking gaijins post comments in Japanese here!
those who once divorced tends to repeat it over and over again. i can see from your posting that you'll again break up with him soon, in the form of divorce or whatsoever. and your 羊水 is getting rotten, so anyway, you should marry and have a baby at once. but I also see that you cannot marry someone good soon and you'll be getting anxious about not having baby and yourrotting 羊水, in the end you'll get married with someone who is good-for-nothing and regret it for good. your relative ( your nephew's mother, as long as I remenbere) makes the right choice ^^
LOL at "turtle 女" I always try to write everything in English (yes my english is fucked up as someone called バーナード looked down on my English) but I love pidgin English!
I love upper middle class English spoken beautifully. However there is nothing wrong with f*****d up English. In fact, f*****ed up English is what makes the world go round.
I don't like the upper class English because they sound so posh and arrogant a little (maybe because I'm not a native English speaker so that's why)
I prefer normal, average English like American English and also Singaporean English! So many people say Singlish is broken and disgusting but I love it! So unique!
Thinking about it I've not eating kimuchi for a while like a few years now?
Because we found out this Korean lady spit on kimuchi while making kimuchi!!!!!!! And then this kimuchi was distributed not only in Korea but also Japan wtf
I dont see why someone yelling about other`s divorce saying that those who divorced repeat over and over again I think it`s okay to repeat divorce if you really need to but I think most of the people just divorce only once in their life
It will be so nice if you are with your partner forever but sometimes life dont go that way and we are always making some mistakes. I mean, the life without any mistake is quite unnatural and so uncomfortable
>>193 I'm one of your attackesr in this thread, who's 19 years old and will be sophomore starting April. Why do you assume that the young lack imagination? What, do you think the more experience one have, the more matured one become? I dont think so. There are lots of foolish adults who is gradually laking ther imagination and become more conservative as time goes by.
>>195 I have no ideas why that person said such a thing. It's so true Korean men are getting plastic surgery! I heard more than 50% korean women in 20s have plastic surgery! I personally don't have any problems with plastic surgery but I don't think Korean men are the best. That's for sure.
>>196 That`s so true but I really hate young people It`s okay to be conservative. Im also so conservative too When I was young, I always hated adults who try to fit in among young people
The biggest mistake that young one make is that they think they have much more imagination than older ones. Some true, but some are not so true
The young ones have many ideals and really too direct, not much mistakes, and also so boring I understand some adults are like that but i guess they just stopped growing Actually, those are people are just like that since they were born
Especially, about emotional feelings, love thing, young smart ones are very weak on those topics. Ideal is just an ideal. Theyre are many truth that you people have to catch up. But most really dont care about those things because many dont need love, no luxuries, they just live for nothing
I read this amazing book, "degital boy" written by Asa Nonami, i guess That guy was a bore. But I dont critize him because that`s life too
Love is total waste of time but my last decade was almost filled with it I had 2 big break ups and Im only in early 30s... You know, denying does not help at all
Life is like a quilt. It`s not that constant, sometimes you need to change patterns. Young people is not really not good with changing The good adults do get influence by others, learn a lot, and change their patterns if that`s better for them.
I hate plastic surgery,especially, men having plasic surgery without reason is so obsurd and weird to me. I think there is no right or wrong to this plasic surgery but if I ever know my partner having plastic...ill be like no way...
Corrections are great. Keep correcting any mistakes anytime, whenever you want, as much as you want, so we can learn something useful. The more you piss off these cockroaches, the better this thread becomes. Also correct my posts if you are still around.
It's been a while since a foreigner with a name last appeared in this thread. This thread thrives when there is a sufficient supply of nameforeigners. Unfortunately, with 2ch blocking foreign ISPs and Igirisu-jin busy with the Kremlin, doom was imminent and unavoidable. Then came the Bar Nerd. The Bar Nerd is our last hope.
I've got what your thinking is; mainly the reason why you hate the young. Well then, let me tell you why I hate the old. Of course, there are lots of adults I can respect, but also, including teachers and professors, lots of adults cannot understand and accept the impetus and ideal (at times, it's absurd) of the young even though they have experienced the youthful days. Why don't you take those aspect of the young? Why do you just hate those trait although you were once young?
At large, I hate adults. There are quite a few adults who cannot become "True Adult lol ".
>>206 2ch is dog slow for me, as most Japanese websites seem to be from here (New Zealand), but it works with some patience. My name is Bernard in English, and バーナード isn't really close at all to how I pronounce it (burn-id), but it isn't as bad as some people's names in Japanese, so I should be thankful.
It seems that there is not such a woman as to be called 大和撫子 in Japan any more. The species has been extinct long time before Because unlike you Westerners, there exists no religious background in our society so that Japanese women may be in a state of moral hazard. I often bump into the word 肉便器 while browsing around internet sites. Of course, actually, I don't know what they really are.
My friend is still virgin and she`s in her mid 30s She said all the Japanese guys suck and I agree sometimes
Anyways, I went out on a date and he tried to hold my hand today I was like, I remebered that this old lady talking about that if man held your hand, then soon he`ll kiss you, touch your boobs, and they`ll come down I was pretty scared though Im not even virgin
Why guys stink anyways I cant stand the smell of guys
omg, homerun! im gonna cry...my fav team gonna lose this game
>>207 imputus! Are u trying to kill oldies!? Think about their age and be nice to them lol They`re all crippled and rigid minded. All the old ones want to cling on to old memories...you must need to see some related思い出(memory)threads
u guys have future but not them...sometimes we live in the past funny for those who are young but soon youll be like us
My granma used to be very sweet around 50s but now I see so much greediness When I was very young, I used to think that old people are more mature but as I get older, I thought maybe NOT
Young people are really annoying. I hate their youth When I look at them, Im like was I like that before??? and it`s pretty scary and funny
>>212 Yeah, I admit that I'm stinky, but it's not mt fault. Something great (or natural laws) created me like this.
Yeah,I admit that if I hold a woman's hand, then soon I wanna kiss her, touch her boobs, and at last wanna fuck a woman, but it's not my fault. Something great (or natural laws) created me this this. If men had no disire to fuck women, human race must have been exticnt long time ago.
By the way,it is very strange that you can date such a guy as made you scared
I know it`s totally a human nature but it`s still sick I got dizzy and I wanted to come home asap I know I`ll get used to it maybe if I see him little bit more
My friend also had a blind date with a guy and she told me that she had terrible iches and allergies all over her body after seeing this guy
it`s nice thing to see a guy during spring time b/c when it`s summer, they smell really bad do the humidity here in Japan I dont usually see guys in summer especially night time, it`s quite dangerous
Im in my 30s so I know I have to control my nose and emotions but it`s really hard b/c it`s my nature too. I hope I dont have this keen sense
It`s not only me who`s having this problem, many women who grow up in this kind of circumstance, tends to be very keen about men`s odor
When Im with men, I feel Im pretty disabled Maybe some men feel the same way, right?
It's funny but Im really scared. I dont show that much but I dont feel comfortable at all especially when they try to touch me Im very frightened and Im in my 30s
I feel this is some kind of curse or something Im okay to see crippled old men though
So many fucking gaijins here again... This time, it's from New Zealand? By the way, what is New Zealand? Country? Region? I think It's a part of Australia right? Either way that must be disgusting like s.korea and china
I don't understand the concept of "hating the young", "hating the elderly", or "hating kimchi" without a specific reason. Hatred needs a lot of energy to sustain it. You could instead use that energy to make something good in your life happen. Like falling in love with someone. At least unlike hatre, you'd get a great emotional kick out of it.
I want to have my own family Im not used to body contact. Guys are so different from me, or something that i was used to I seems very strange from others but I get stomach ache sometimes
Caregiver-san, men emit special odours so that women can check their suitability for reproduction. The genetic information is hidden in the armpit sweat. If the man is healthy, if he is on a mostly vegetarian diet without strong spices or dairy, a whiff of his odour will adjust your hormones and switch on the reproductive ritual.
>>231 That`s so true. I love cooking and I also love to eat I love to read books. I dated two guys in my life. I never hate them but Im very very very careful and shy so I dont meet a lot of new people in my life. Same with my friends, they`re just like me Some never dated a guy and they`re already in their mid 30s Welcome to dark side of Japan...
>>232 I kinda feel you! I'm guy but honestly I don't like body contact it feels so awkward... also I can't kiss a girl if her teeth are bad like crooked teeth, silver stuffing, yellow-ish teeth... Just disgusting
My relationship is more like "MO"(women who never had relationship with men) By the way, "MO" is 2chan word. I never heard a word MO girl or Mo guys in real life MO is written 喪。 喪 is expression more like sorry ur dead In Japanese tradition, u put paper 喪中 written in front of porch, when member of ur family pass away
My sister was " rea-jyu," which is exact opoosite of MO. Who enjoys real life It is written like this "リア充" this is also 2 chan word
Few years ago my MO friend were keep on sending me these messages, saying that she`s MO & ria-jyu, and I didnt have no idea what she was talking about but now I understand, she was probably visiting 2 chan
I think my experience is more conservative. My friend also married a guy who she met at set up blind date from both parents, which is called, Omiai
She had tough time. She started blind date from age of 21 to 29. She finally got married few years ago
I got married when I was 28, it wasnt a blind date, but got divorced It`s very rare case in my relatives so they dont feel really good about it When I see any one of them at the store, I just have to runaway before they ask me a lot of things
I think there are a lot of couples here and there who want to divorce but can't from various reasons. Most people dream of a happy family of their own whose members are always smiling at each other, but it is rather difficult to make such a family.
>>250 Actually, I think it`s just a luck. Some are lucky and some are not But you know, the first thing I thought was that it is so important that we both have hope in future.
Sometimes it is harder to break up than to tolerate and continue marriage We know that we are hurting each other no matter what we do and we both know that our relationship is ending
Some still hang on to partners for reasons, but to me, that was quite miserable than what it was back then
Options are not always bad or good. There maybe the time where you get hurt either ways, but you still need to choose the better way for both
If my husband speaks out first, I thought I cannot handle my pain, so I asked for divorce and we had a long talk. I was never easy for both of us but we felt that we did the right thing. I want my ex to be happy with other partner and he thinks about me that way too.
It is true that we went through big depression. Eventhough, we look fine when we see each other, I knew that he was hurt too Although, we felt so free once again and so glad that we didnt have big argument about other things.
When I was talking and reading threads about divorce, I noticed that there is no just certain reason for every divorce. We all dont know reason too much b/c there are many many things involved. NOT only one certain reason. So I think blaming each other is not that smart thing to do. We`re both resposible for good and bad in marriage or relationship
It was possible for me to do this b/c I went thru big break up before. That was pretty ugly so this time it was better. Still hurt though
>>252 What you are writing here should be taken note by the politicians. If they want to protect Japanese existance, women like yourself should rule the country to make sure the environment is good for raising a family. Marriage may depend on luck, but there are added destroyers and the biggest problem is finance and extreme stress. The third factor is consumer fetishism, as in relationship consumption. Animals do not reproduce when they lack resources or they are stressed. Same with humans. You need a comfortable shelter, food and no stress environment to make babies, it is so clear. Metropolitan men are likely to be under extreme pressure so their attitudes to sex are probably different due to that. When men are stressed, how can you expect them to be gentle and loving?
>>256 I was lucky b/c I had some savings, no kid, had a place to come back, and still young to reset my life
I have no power to note politicians and I think they really dont care much of civilians these days. Actually, I dont have kid so maybe this is why I think this way, but I think single women are being too strong now I like that sometimes, but somestimes I dont like that
This man I know of, he raised his child on his own, until he got a new wife Single mom is more well protected than single father. I have no kid so I think I need no protection. I just have to work after I calm down a little bit from disaster since Im very emotional these days
I know Japanese society is very fatigued now. It is very strange that we dont even have time to spend time together as a family. Since middle or high school we are exposed to high level of stress of competition, and it`s so breathless. Some are strong, but I think it is so cruel to ask all the citizens to be strong like that b/c some cannot be that strong.
Although, I dont think being lazy, like me, is not a good way to solve things
My friend was working as a mental hospital receptionist and she told me many young and midaged men came to visit to the hopital. I dont think that this is healthy at all
Although, with my poor brain, I have no idea what to do about it but I know how I want to live my life.
Look at all these cockroaches wallowing in the cesspit of misery. The cockroach infestation has reached an irreversible level. Time to abandon and move out I guess.
Women know better than men how to live their lives. If politicians do not care about family, how will your people survive? Don't keep them in power if they don't care. From a distance your people look very strong and stoic, but it seems like that on the surface. You need politics to address these real issues, if you want to protect your family members' smiles.
Cockroaches adapt to environment and survive. Are you a higher animal than a cockroach? What might that be? A grasshopper perhaps? Do grasshoppers feel happy in life and have great relationships? We would love to hear.
I've thought that I'm a kind of person who don't believe in metaphysical existence , but come to think of it, I may believe in something of the kind. Because somehow I think of committing suicide as a bad thing and feel it obedient to heaven's will to live through whatever hardships I encounter in my life.
It is very suprising b/c man never get over his nature When I got divorced, I was asked to marry a guy in his 70s, who recently lost his wife. He is nice person as an elderly but not for romance...my grandma was laughing so bad when she heard that saying that he got this "Iro-boke," meaning mostly "old pervert"
There are a lot of old men getting married with young foreigners, mostly from Phillippines and China. I never heard bad news about Phillippinos but some Chinese women kill them immediately. I was thinking that they probably can`t stand their odour.
When men are over 40s, they start to emit this really bad odour. Japan is a humid country so it is sometimes too difficult to tolerate It`s so important to bath everyday, like my family take a bath, morning and night, but single guys and men who are mistreated somehow by his partner, they seem they dont take bath so the smell is really awful
I was told to feel free to correct, so I will do just that. >>275 "in row"
You want 'in a row'.
"Every girls"
Don't pluralise girl here. Also means that the 'were' a little further along needs to become a 'was'.
"It's okay that their single"
You want "they're". 'Their' indicates possession, they're is short for they are. Given the number of native speakers that screw this up on the internet, you're not alone in that mistake, but I don't think your goal for English grammar should be to match that of the average YouTube comment. :)
No insult intended, just thought you might find it useful.
Again ? You can't change such situations no matter how hard you complain about them. So in order to solve the problem, the only option you can take may be self-reform. Bad odour is bad odour. no one can change it to good odour, but I think you can change your taste. I've seen hypnotists change their subject's liking easily on TV.
Do you know Japanese government is now processing more communication based English here in Japan? Although, I have never seen a teacher who speak good English Their pronouciation is so poor You should see high school debates and you can find them in you tube It just makes me laugh so bad. They speak so so so fast without tempo and to me they`re just yelling...and dont have no clue what they`re saying
I knew there were a lot of problem with Japanese English teachers but I think that was the most painful thing to see
I heard one of returnee said that she didnt want to join in the debate team because she was asked to yell by this stupid teacher who had no communication skills
It was pretty mean but I wrote them on Mojo thread b/c it`s really true They`re young, they should quit speaking English like that That`s not totally how other people speak English and it`s so strange
Someone keep on criticising about returnees, saying that they get too much credit. I was like who cares and hated to see that kind of jealousy, that does no good to anyone and if they`re offending me, Im not even returnees lol
I was just an exchange student, a quarter, and some of my family members speak fluent English That`s all
But i understand that truth really does hurt sometimes
>>283 Personally speaking, I wouldn't. At best nothing new comes out of the conversation, at worst people get hurt and angry, so best just to stay out of that whole kettle of fish.
poor the middle-aged probably, all over 40 years old men around you just emit bad smell including your father and granpa. you would inherit their DNA, so your son (if you have boy) will someday emit strrong odor. as opposed to you, men around me smell anything bad in particular.
>>283 Many foreigners, they do not know about a-bomb too much If they ever have a chance to visit memorial park, and see those pictures, they probably have no words
Dont forget that they also killed their own soldiers with a-bomb I hope they all died immediately because if they had survived, they suffered much more in pain
All the river was covered with bodies, babies to elderly People who had survived, they were all heavily burned and needed water and so they all walked into the river. Many mothers were crying because they`d lost their babies and children
But there were so much more after a-bomb. Eventhough, they`d survived, many died with cancers. Many babies in the mother`s womb were disabled
People who survived in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were discriminated by other Japanese as well. Especially about marriage.
Many kids lost their parents. Older brothers had to steal things in order to feed their sisters and brothers. When they were caught they were brutally judged Many pity them and this was the beginning of juvinile law in Japan, now is a big problem though
After the disaster, no one ever believed that those cities will return what it used to be before However, those cities planted many trees and recovered from disaster People who lived there were discriminated, but they tolerated so much and recovered with their own power
Nowadays, many elderly receive a-bomb pension from govenment, some are really doubtful, but in those days, elderly refused to receive them as long as they were hospitalized, saying that they dont want no help from govenment and it`s really a shame to be helped by govt
Most people in Hirosima(city) and Nagasaki, who lost their relatives, really desire the peace. We are against nuclear weapons but those who are not citizens of those two, eventhough, they`re Japanese, they do not know much about a-bomb. They`re exactly like foreigners. So they are always saying, let`s have a war or nuclear weapons so easily
I hate modern Japan, (I'm Japanese and minor), but the Japan right before and amid WWU was so disgusting that it makes me want to puke.
that fuking country didnt surrender even though first atomic bomb was dropped in Hiroshima. that absurd country finally surrender after second atomic bomb was dropped in Nagasaki and USSR declare the war against Japan. Personally, I agreed with the opinion of the US that it was good to use two atomic bombs to collapse that fooligh country.
At that time, other enemy countries except US demand that Japanese emperor "天皇" should be killed because they are the representetive who led Japan to devastating stuation,(of course there are lots of people who thinks he was controlled by military, but it's the truth that he was the head ) Famous Britich magazine even write "Japanese emperor is fuck and it's so good that he's dead" after "昭和天皇" died.
Japanese at that time cannnot live without the power of emperor, so SCAP (=GHQ) left Japanese emperor. Japanese at that time also fuking, they was so weak and didnt have identity.
Anyway, there ware lots of people who was killed by the court's verdict after war; they ware labeld "A級戦犯". Well, why "昭和天皇" wanst "A級戦犯"? I cannot understand and dont need the 天皇. He is just human who are likely to live next to me.
In the peace memorial park, there is a fountain and it will never be dried out. It is because they all died in thirst All the dead were saying that they want water to drink
Those are big tombs for all the people who passed away with a-bomb. Many were unknown, because they were not able to identify them, Koreans tomb is also inside the peace memorial park
I know having no nuclear weapon in Japan is quite scary thing but if you see what happened in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, in Russia, and Fukushima, I oppose to have a nuclear weapon.
I`ve heard that Eienstein also regret about a-bomb It is most scary thing in the world
Many foreigners misunderstand that those people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki attack them for what they did. Although, they dont All they wish is about world peace, after what they had gone thru some misery
I have some relatives in Hiroshima and my grandma is from Hiroshima but she was always saying, "McArthur sama" because Japanese govt didnt help citizens at all. Actually, when US troops came in, they gave us food to live and many were able to survived because they had food to live So we have a lot of appreciation
Although, we also have quite confusion, running down about Emperor. Even after WWII, some of us still think that the Emperor is our father and it will never change, because we are raised in that way
Someone who swears about emperor, I believe, I think those people are not Japanese
>>286 >At best nothing new comes out of the conversation,
Most people don't know the Russian factor of the issue. The Russian army suddenly attacked the Japanese army in Manchuria on August 6th, 1945, the same day when the US dropped the atomic bomb on Nagasaki.
I know, I never liked what Russian did because they betrayed so easy They betray everything But people in Hiroshima really love American. Like McArthur is our hero and so is Rollin Joseph Lutz, who was a coach in Carp
Truman knew that the Russian army would attack the Japanese army around that time. He also knew that Japan would surrender at once when the Russia entered the war.
I hate the word " war criminals" becasue it represents the winner's arrogance. If God held a court hearing on the War, he would judge that both sides were to blame.
I'm studying "Constitution" a little alongside with "Civil Law", "Penal Code","Commecial Law" Every time I turn over the pages, I understand Japanese Consitution is unstable and what is made in meer a week.
You know, it`s really hard to admit but the winner takes it all That`s all about the war Be real
At least we`re alive as Japanese with many foreigners who live in Japan It`s sometimes important to look back about the history but I hate someone going so radical about it. I mean, what does it help anyways? It`s just a waste of time when you do that. Being racist? I dont like that at all
If you look into history, it is very important that you also try to proceed or people who died in the war will never be saved. Like their loss was nothing
The severe bullying in the school, the school corruption, high suicide rates, and all the others. Those are things that we need to focus from now on
It`s not about losing or winning or who did that or something like that It`s just too childish
We have to find a way to live our life in peace with other countries as well That`s the hardest thing to do but I think at least we can try We cannot go on like this
>>310 Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. You should know at least the modern history of the world to understand the present world.
I think I do know a lot about past and I studied them on my own too but I totally hate people who takes an advantage of those things
I think most people really do not know about the facts and some really dont want to hear about them either. Although, that is all the same in other society too
I think there are so many misunderstanding about pride It is okay to discuss about the fact but it`s not okay to discriminate others or to be racist is so rediculous. I am so sick of people doing that. Taking advantage of those who died with pride for its own country
When I studied a history, I learned this Korean died with suicide attack. He enlisted himself to be the one. He loved where he was raised eventhough he was discriminated And people who call those people kimchi, you should be ashamed
I think where you are raised is very important because, where you raised is your home town, where you have a lot of memories
Why can`t some Japanese accept people from different countries? Going back the history, we all came from other countries
I really hate racists. They`re no good to the country at all
I understand we have many conflicts but at least we need to hear from those people instead of discriminating them. I dont understand why they`re teaching bad things about Japan because it only makes Korean hard to adapt inside the society We all have to stop that sometimes, if possible The fact is important but teaching hatred does not help nobody
I like and I prefer country with many ethnic backgrounds
When I go buy something to the nearby convenience stores, some young female cleaks are very friendly and some are coldly. The former sometimes hold my hands with their both hands when they give me change, and the latter hold back their hands as quickly as possible as if they look at something filthy.
you are too self-cousious. over self-cousious will make you second Kato who attack several people in the district of Akihabara discriminately several years ago.
Seen from their eyes, my existence must be a clump of bacteria. There seems to be a lot of people in Japan who are suffering from so-called "keppekisyo" and especially some young women are obsessed with it, I think.
I think Kato is driven by his youth. When you get to middle age, you dont have that kind of power. I kind of miss it Isnt he kind of virgin? I had it enough when I was young that`s quite a difference. dont you think so?
Im have this inspiration and I see ghosts sometimes since I was a teenager Im easily influenced so I dont swear too much b/c those words tend to swallow you
When I saw TV that day, I thought that he was completely possessed It`s very dangerous
There are type of people who are easily possessed so if youre that kind of type then you really have to be careful with words you use
When men are possessed, they`re likely not to take a bath and get thinner
I know...Nakashima news was thrilling I think that`s because midage women have many crisis about work, marriage, and pregnancy
We dont have " how to live " path anymore. We just have to figure them out on our own. Although, society still force some women to be in a certain way. It`s very tough for those who couldn`t live that way
That`s why Im quite concerned about those women over 30, having affair with so many men. I think that`s so dangerous b/c they`ll be likely to lose their pride easily
Feeling isolated is the main issue but we have to be a little bit more flexible about that
Dont you think women are so uptight, they all want to be perfect so much Especially, when they`re in their 30s I have hard time breathing sometimes when Im with them
I used to like swimming but I dont go to pool anymore because I heard elderly saying they pee inside the pool since they have no tolerance The pool is cleaned only once a year
>>276 their, your, would of, could of, then instead of than
I believe these mistakes are mostly exclusive to native speakers. If a Japanese uses these, it is most likely done on purpose. I'm sure similar things have been done by some weeaboos learning Japanese, for example.
>>209 There is this British man named Stuart Varnam-Atkin, who is on some English lesson programmes in Japan. Stuart is either スチュアート or ステュアート, but as you said, it isn't close to how it's pronounced, so he changed it to ステュウット
>>337 I think バーナド is closer in pronunciation, so it's something to think about.
I've been watching the Candidates chess tournament. Magnus Carlsen is going to face Vishy Anand later this year. I think Anand plays such boring chess that I kind of just want him to lose, and Carlsen is only 22 so that'd be a great story.
>>295 >I hate modern Japan, (I'm Japanese and minor), but the Japan right before and amid WWU was >so disgusting that it makes me want to puke.
You don't know the *true* history of modern Japan. Your view was distorted by the post-war propaganda of the US. Use your common sense. Japan was defeated by the US. It was a matter of course that the US painted Japan black.
>that fuking country didnt surrender even though first atomic bomb was dropped in Hiroshima.
The US nuked Hiroshima on August 6th and Nagasaki on August 9th. You should blame the US for nuking Nagasaki so soon. See >>300, >>302 and >>306.
>>340 yeah, US was also evil, and I dont like that country,too. However, fucking Japan and Japanese at that time is the most disgusting thing and compared with that dump, US looks better. You are exactly right, dropping two atomic bombs is so horrible and the US had done so wrong thing as human.We human beings mustn't use that weapon foerver and ever. Nevertheless, it was even not bad choice to use atomic bomb to defeat that fucking country. No, we cannot call "country" where nobady can say, write, announce what they truly thinks and restrict civilian under that fucking, ugly and low height Japanese emperor.
Moreover, this fucking country had made a mistake again , causing the disaster of Fukushima No,1 nuclear power plant. I dont deny the nuclear power, but stupid officer in this country cannot make those facilities perfectly safe. Apparently, Japanese officers love radioactive incidence. And, broadcasters that can only make low quality, low level program in this country also make me irittating. While those trash hardly warned us that nuclear power plant in this country is dangerous, after that incidence they started to critisize other facters except them at once.
I think this country has to collapse again. So, I wanna be one of the people who destroy this fuking country in the future.
>>344 Good morning! To me A-bomb was pretty unnecessary Back then racism ruled US and other Western countries so France did nuke experiment in colored area I think it was all about racism no matter how they define it I believe that was the strongest motivation to drop the bomb
Although, America is Christian country and some really had high morality so how they conquered Japan was very successful. We Japanese were so lucky to be conquered by Americans, General MacArthur, than conquered by other countries.
By the way, American were the ones who did "noblesse oblige" and we should know it wasn`t easy thing to do. They had high pride back then and Japanese was not the one who admired American so much
We`d lost the war but it is so true that we admired America so much Especially the cars, the mechanics, how they dressed, like everything. All we wanted to do was to catch up to US
Although, at the same time, we`d lost our own culture that charmed American as well. The radicals I see in Japan, I really do not think that they are the real Japanese. Most real Japanese is very calm
We don`t think KKK is all of the American. It`s the same thing I feel great pain when I see some radicals attacking Koreans and foreigners and I believe most Japanese feel the same shame
>>344 After WWII, many top leaders were really serious to reconstruct it`s own country once again. Some did not think about moral so much
They might have thought for a moment, but they didn`t want to stop All they wanted to do was to proceed forward It is quite understandable after what they had gone thru
Before Fukushima, there were many incidents. The diseases and all of that Fukushima was just one of them. Although, the country became wealthy
If one succeed, it is most likely to repeat how it was done, over and over, eventhough, it doesn`t fit to that era anymore
It is so hard to live because the time is always changing Like what Charles Darwin quoted,
“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.”
Im more concerned about Quality of Life The money is very important but I think it is so important to think once again that how it should be spent
The problem with Japanese govt seems like the lack of philosophy about money or it is completely out-of-date
The govt needs to control citizens. That`s the job they have to concentrate Also I think men also need to adapt and improve their thinking a little bit more
The men are said to be conservative but in this period, it does no good to the society than they think. It should be no problem to marry women even they are in part-time job, or deployment. When there are number of people who are like that increase, more chance that govt takes care of those famillies
We absolutely have no idea what will be lying ahead, but denying all the possibility is the most silly thing to do.
If new type of families arises, I believe our working style will also change as well
Before someone mensioned about overwork of some men, but I think some just enjoy that than getting married. I think that is no problem for those people
Although, most are not like that and leaving those people who are willing to have a good life will be the very big problem in Japanese society
I always read Bible and I think we all need to be modest sometimes That`s how sophisticated society works, i guess
What is now called California was originally a private land whose owner's name was ヨーハン ズーター(I don't know the spelling). After gold was found in his farm in 1848, a lot of so-called forty-niners rushed there to dig gold, of cousre, without any permmsion from him. And they illegally bulit their homes on his land, settling permanently. He filed a lawsuit and won, but angry mobs rioted against the ruling. THe US gorvenment back then did nothing for him. Even in 19th century, America was lawless area.
>>356 John Sutter, born Johann Suter. As for "did nothing for him", it seems he received a pension for losses incurred. Point taken on the general lawlessness of the gold rush (California was quite isolated though, so I'm not sure you can apply it to the rest of 19th century America).
>>357 And may I say I appreciated the chance to practice my カタカナ ^^; I still find distinguishing ク,ケ,タ and ソ,ン difficult. Although I think I've got those last two down now.
Japan is a little Island w/o resource, and we only have human power but most of things which were said in the first video I understood
I`m afraid to say, America tend to make a big mistake b/c they are young country compare to other countries.
For example, When former President Bush used a word "justice" I felt quite confused and so did some people around the world felt the same way
It is very important that we have justice in our lives, but a word justice differs when you go to other countries, who has different ethnic backgrounds and history It is pretty cruel to mess around in other countries in that way
Americans are very young so they feel not stressed but old countries are like elderly Americans are possible to run 50m in 7sec but to force other countries to be that way... It`s so cruel. Expecially elderly love their traditional style and they oppose everythin new It`s quite the same in every nation, right???
When I go visit to other countries, I dont criticize people in such a way,it`s just like or dislike, and you don`t come up with a word justice, i guess. It is because we need to respect other cultures and their behavior sometimes
I believe we need more transfluency rather than rigid justice in our society today Forcing and beating is not the only option left. Sometimes people need to join them
It is not smart to look like one of barbaric type, especially when you don`t intend to be that way
America has very good culture, very vital and young country, many are inspiring, they should not spoil themselve to act that way.
Sometimes, like Eisenhower, mentioned in that first video, some Americans have this very sophisticated European traditional style which is very outstanding and surely satisfy the people all around the world
Unforfunately, Japan dont have that power at all. We just keep on supporting, hoping America to be continuously successful
>>357 I learned what I've just posted from a book, and accepted all of what was written in it as the facts, but if what you said is true,I'll have to look into the incident more carefully.
Iranian`s history is very long and I thought it was from Mesopotanian? They should be very old and stubborn, like Japanese elderly
I don`t querrel with elderly because I know they will never change their mind It will even get so ugly when you try to force them to do certain things Just like my old great-aunt and grandma, who totally controls my life completely
Ohh there is nothing like flaming people on the other side of the world first thing in the morning. To do that,, first you brew a strong cup of Earl Grey.
>>349 "If new type of families arises, I believe our working style will also change as well " Agreed! This sums up the Darwin evolutionary principle. I once suggested the hikikomori gentlemen on this thread should consider becoming houseworkers, with working women paying the bills. That way both would have a chance to cohabit and possibly recreate, but I GOT CRUCIFIED by some really rigid misognyst thinkers .
>>368 It`s not that easy for men to become a housewife though I tried before but my ex-boyfriend keep on whining about it instead he had gone to gambling I don`t believe all the men are like that but most guys tend to try to pull women down and they can`t stand to be a housewife
Women are good in either ways. She can support a men in many ways but men are different creature than women
>>346 I see, I think the way of American to occupate Japan after WWU is good for our country,of couse there are quate a few problems with it mainly related to Constitution Article9. But, we Japanese must not forget the fact that America did good thing to Japan for themselves; to stop the spread of communisum(that require strong Japan in terms of economic) , to make good market place and so forth.
>>347 In the end, we stupid human beings has to experience horrible thins over and over again every time we deal with troublesome matters to improve as human. They say that is "to adapt, to be flexible" We can learn only from desaster, how stupid!!
>>352-354 Yeah, US is horrible country and did a whole lot of disgusting things. Therefore, we can find lots of terrible and cruel incidences which US did from a enemy against US standpoint. Also, we can find out so many artcles which is written how horrible Japan, China, Britain, Middle East countries, etc was or is.
You know, to change certain obstacle, we have to make victims and it cannot be helped. What I want to say most is, given what I said above one sentence, fucking Japan at that time is so fucking.
Hey guys, whatcha gonna do if the Fukushima nuclear plants fall apart? Those buildings are now so fragile that one big earthquake could tear them into pieces.
>>375 I don`t see no news about the consequence after fall down I dont`t know much about nuke plant but can somebody explain that easily? Don`t make it difficult b/c those are hard to understand. It`s all about physics and chemical thing, and I don`t like them much
>>376 Actually, Japan was surrendered so we did have no choice. I think Prime minister Yoshida did wonderful job negotiating with US
It is always easy to criticize after things happened but at that time most of us must have done the same thing. This is why we all need to learn from the past and study history on our own from many aspects
What teachers teach you in the class is insufficient to judge the historic events Somepeople are just into study history just to attack others but I think that does not help anyone and not that fun either. It`s much better you spend time more efficiently doint something else
When you study things it is so important to be empty and just pick up the FACTS I really enjoy to see things that way
It`s really funny when people criticize something, we think that we`re almost close to perfection. I do that many times and few moments later, I find myself not that much confident about my idea. So I can`t always say 100% so sure about my opinion. It`s just like or dislike. That I know very well
We always want perfection or the truth but the truth is not always comfortable
By the way, I like " Full Metal Jacket " more than " Platoon" because I see more human nature in that movie, which is uncomfotable, but it`s so true about human being we don`t want to see usually
In Russia( I think ), there is a old story, that a scorpio stick a frog to die. A frog asked why he sticked him and scopio said, " because it`s my nature " Pretty scary and interesting
A cockroach didn`t evolve but still they are everywhere
What about a gambler? How could that kind of DNA survived until today? He was very smart but at the the same time, he was really hard to understand. Why like person so obedient and conservative like me ever could fall in love with that type of asshole?
All my family and friends said that I was just so pure, but isn`t that too cruel to happen. I don`t cheat, I worked so well back then, and I was nearly perfect! There are a lot of sluts here in Japan, there are a lot of girls who just sit there do nothing when they`re in office, and I was totally like WHY ME?
I hope today's going to be a good day for running. I had to stay indoors because it was rainy for two consecutive days! It's not very nice if I can't go jogging even today!
I mean today's game. now ended the bottom of 6 innings, Darvish allowed no run, no hit, no walk, with 11th strike-outs! Maybe he can make a perfect game! Check it out! http://gyao.yahoo.co.jp/mlb/live/
Texas starter Yu Darvish lost his perfect game bid with just one out to go in the 9th.
Texas starter Yu Darvish did not allowe a baserunner against the Houston Astros until there were two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. Darvish finished with 14 strikeouts and one hit in 9.2 innings of work.
>>402 Thanks for the links. They're funny as their responses were the same as me. I was like "What? OOHHH MY GOD!!!" (although my shout was in Japanese.) I can't help but being amazed by this new technology, Internet, They and me are half way around the globe but I can watch how they reacted to the moment Darvish failed a perfect game.
Yu Darvish is one of the best pitchers from Japan, who went to Major Leagur Baseball last year. Today's game was the first game he pitched in of 2013 season (second season for him in MLB). As the name suggests, he's not genuine Japanese, his father is from Iran, hence, he has kind of exotic look and is very tall. His mom is Japanese. Japanese baseball fans got to know him when he was a high school student when he pitched in National high school baseball championship. His performance in Japan's pro baseball stands out and he felt he has nothing left to accomplish in Japan's pro league. So he decided to play in U.S after 7 or 8? years playing in Japan. This year, it's hoped that he adjust himself even more to U.S style baseball and is expected to pitch better than last year.
He got married in his early 20's due to shotgun marrage or something, but had devorced before he went to U.S. he has one or two kids. He needed to get things cleaned before going to US aiming for a new life. His ex wife was in show business, doing modeling job or something or TV appearanece if I remember correctly. Facing the divorce, the former wife got the right to be paid monthly or yearly whole lots of money, you know divorce settlement or something, child rearing compensation or something. Darvish was offered and won lucrative contract from Texus Rangers, his current team, his yearly income is 1 billion yen or so (12 million dollars?), but some people sarcastically say, the real winner who got lucrative contract was his ex-wife to think the money paid to her regulary. Darvish and his former wife both said they don't hate each other, it's just that they decided to go in separate ways for better lives. Maybe he will find a nice cowgirl there?
>>409 You have to be on guard. Her wake up and sleep cycle is the same as the NEET, so it's about time for her to wake up and start babbling as always. lol
It's so funny ! Since I didn't know the meaning of the word " babble", I consulted a dictionary. If I translate the definition carried in it, it goes as follow "to keep on talking without considering whether or not the audience are interested in her story." That's exactly what she is!
After Nishioka, Yu Darvish too divorced? Baseball marriage scene must be a competitive one. Lots of naive athletes and clever bounty hunting models. You mean they don't make pre-nuptial agreemenst to not to marry for money? There must be a flow in the system. By the way, why do Japanese baseball players get into real trouble when they transfer to the States? Could it be the culture shock?They get injured so easily and performance goes does.
If you mean "pre-nuptial agreemenst" in legal sense, it's not common for us Japanese. I heard it's common in US though. If I'm not mistaken, Darvish devorced earlier than Nishioka. As for some Japanese players who got injured before their debut in MLB, I don't know why, but maybe it's in part something to do with adopting to the different environment.
Compared to the Venus, the earth provides easy-to-live environment, but it's from us Earthian standpoint. For people from Venus, acid rain is what you miss most...
Off I go into the chilly winds that Jutland sends our way. It is the gusty winds and the humidity I dislike here in the UK, rather than longing for the acid rain on my home planet.
If you miss acid rain, all you have to do is keep hot water in the bathtub mix it with hydrochloric acid you steal from pharmacy or laboratory. Soak yourself in the bathtub after work to your heart's content.
Somehow talking about the money before the marriage is not common in Japan Isn`t it because many Japanese don`t think adultry is the big issue Every women I met from foreign country, mostly Christian, I have never seen someone who goes out with multiple guys. They always had a steady
When I`m with Japanese, I am pretty suprise to see they are dating with multiple guys or girls at the same time. Personally, I don`t understand that but it`s not my business either.
Although, I would never marry a guy with no morality. It`s my own faith but I really dislike abortion and if I ever find out that my partner has done that to a girl before, I think I have hard time trusting this guy It`s very very scary and shocking thing to do
"Every women I met from foreign country, mostly Christian, I have never seen someone who goes out with multiple guys. "
Sorry to shatter your impressions but you have met the wrong type of people. They are mostly secular in Northern Europe and yes they date multiple partners. Divorce rate is high, so is separation,regardless of marriage commitment or cohabitation. About 45% of all committed relationships fail. Some of that is due to infidelity.
Caregiver-san I think you need to go for an overseas trip and see other cultural behaviours up close to understand your own culture better. It is good to travel to widen your life perspective. Otherwise you will be stuck with unrealistic notions of life, rather like the aggresive boys of this thread.
Good morning but now time for me to sleep. As an unemployed garbage, I stayed up all night, doing porn websites surfing. If you're a man, I think you can empathize with this feeling of doing nothing productive visiting those sites. I better wash my hand before I go to bed, or else, after I get up and eat a slice of bread, I end up eating it with my right hand, which was used to to finger my cock before I go to bed.
>>429 The way you refer to yourself is important; think "unemployed garbage" in the same breath as "me" often enough and you'll start to believe it unconditionally. Fake it till you make it, etc.
Hi KameGirl I don`t like people who have relationship with multiple people It`s something that I don`t understand. I feel so sick about that When I had second break-up, my sister told me that it was just only 2 break-up but I had very hard time understanding that sentence
I guess it is not wrong or right but I think people evolve in different ways
My family are more strict than other family and I don`t exactly know how my silblings adopt themselves to new environment but to me it`s comfortable to be this way and I also make a friends like myself Some of my friends stil don`t have no relationship with guys at all
They said it was only my second break-up but sometimes I feel like Im a whore eventhough, I didnt intend to be this way. The divorce was not my word back then, but I had a divorce and Im totally wreched. Some new way of life... I think I cannot handle that. If I were a person who can adapt easily, then I might have left this city and gone to Tokyo when Im in college
I had many choices but I always choose the comfortable ones. I don`t like challenge unlike my siblings. They all love to challenge but I hate it
I`d been to Osaka and worked there for couple years It was my biggest challenge. It was totally because my ex left to Osaka so I followed him. Everyone opposed but I found a job and left immediately
I still cannot believe I did that. It is such a nice memory and I was young back then. I don`t have that kind of energy anymore
Although, I worked very hard there and when I came back here, I had a lot of jobs so I was very lucky. I appriate my ex for that
He did pretty well, right? So why dont we just celebrate what he had done I am not interested with what racists are saying about him because it is worth nothing
>>335 Those tweets are from idiotic, ignorant people with zero world experience. Unfortunately these ignorant masses think the world goes around them. When Akanishi Jin left for America, I perhaps he too was treated badly and could not handle it. That is why he returned. I still think he was very brave and wished he succeeded there. But the stress was too much. Poor Jin.
>>430 I agree, there are actually very skilled and capable people on this thread who look down on themselves to the point of suicide. I think their high pressure society makes them feel that way. I try to explain that repeating such negative sentences will condition themselves negatively. I thought, they were a society aware of the power of conditioning because they have developed many Martial Arts techniques. I think this felllow is merely complying with the messages given to him from his environment.
>>433 Caregiver-san, I understand what you mean. I guess with strict upbringing it must be very hard to handle other people's motives. It is also hard to change one's conditioning in order to deal with such a chaotic existance. The important thing is to make sure you know what is the best way to spend the rest of your life. If you will base everything on a man, life will never be stable. I would say invest your time in yourself. If you wish to have a baby, just make an arrangemement with an understanding donor and get yourself pregnant. Men seem to be commitment phobic so dont waste time on them. I know it is a drastic measure but at least you would experience child birth .
>>441 Thank you for the reply. I know I do not have a lot of time but it`s very funny that my grandma and mom are saying that having kids are not the only option. My grand-aunt, who does not have a child, keep on saying that I should have a child
My friend is 35yrs old but she still doesn`t get married. Although, she is saying that she wants to have at least 2 kids
Im pretty confused. Most of the times I think my decision belong to mine and how others think, I do not care much but this time it`s quite different
I feel I`m lost completely. I feel so stupid thinking about pregnancy issue w/o conclusion. I was confident before but now I cannot believe myself stuck here It`s something which people call, mid-age crisis, i guess
When I see moms who gave their child a birth, too confident and make me feel pretty scary Some are attacking singles, singles are attacking them, and Im nowhere I have hard time adapting into environment when people start to talk mean things about others and it`s not even a true thing. It`s like going back to when I was in school, tolerated so much of that. Finally, I am free.
My sister has children and whenever I hear relationship with other moms, I think she is doing great job. She is very good at that.
For example, my sister was complaining that she never liked this mom, and I advised her to stay away from that mom. Then she said, "no way, because these kids will be together until my son graduate elemetary school" and I totally lost my word. I can`t do that sort of thing Im not that comfident about that. There is 6 years in elemetary + 2 yrs of kindergarden that will be total up to 8 years! Im like fainting...
That`s why I like to have only a child. My sister is thinking about other kids as well. Relationship with moms, teachers, and etc She was very good with that since she was born. Very talented So flexible unlike me. Good thing that she is no mean person
If Im stuck with this mean moms, I dont know exactly what to do Like my sister, just put one`s emotion away for awhile, and technically stay away from them...easy to say but hard to do
I don't think men and women live on the same timescale. Because we live longer we should make decisions outside what is taught to us and find out what is the best for us. For men 30-40 years is midlife. For women it is ONE THIRD -life. Women live much longer. So when people say mid-life crisis, they are referring to men's 30-s 40s crisis. I laugh when they call you "old woman" becuse you only are in your thirties. What do these little boys know anyway.
Everyday I see news about bullying. When I was young, there weren`t bullying like this. I wish to have a girl than a boy but it is mostly likely to have a boy. When I look through my family trees and Im very frightened
I can`t believe middle school kids bullying much worse than Yakuza How could they ever come up with those bad thoughts? Teachers are also so corrupted sometimes. I know there are good teachers but when I see a news about a teacher involved criminal act, I feel so shocked and disappointed
To have a child in the world like this, with my poor skills, maybe it will only give a child pain.
But the cure is that my family are more aggressive type and Im the rare type so my child might inherit something else other than my character
>>444 Because whenever I read through the thread, all the (probably)guys are saying that 30s are old and whenever there is a magazine saying something like " bewitch 30s" they all making fun of it
Outside 2ch, I will never refer myself old but in here, it is better to refer yourself old, so some stupid guys come chase you after and tell you how old you are
Because I live in the UK where single parenthood is accepted (but not respected so much,) I am biased and may misunderstnad the conservative environment you are in. You are not in Tokyo, so in other parts of Japan it might be tougher to live as a single mum. Remember this, if you give birth, you are contributing to the economy in terms of humanpower. They should respect you for that especially when there is a declining birth rate. If there are no strict career aspirations, and you can handle single motherhood, just concentrate on getting pregnant. That might be the best you can do now.
>>448 My father really enjoy watching over his grandchildren these day and Im quite suprised to see that. When I was a child, he was too busy with his work and never had time for me. I even forgot his face because he was never home or came back really late at night and left very early in the morning
My mom is loved by everyone because she is soft, gentle, and flexible
All I can do is to earn some money so my dream is to have a child and let my parents take care of a child. My father really wanted a boy so desperately. He love baseball and all that sort of things
He had really high expectation on me so many it was better if I were a boy than a girl. They failed to raise me so maybe they`ll be really careful with their grandchild. My father also even have a time to do so
People always tell me that why Im not confident since I was young, and Im so desperate to know why. I read many psychology books and I found that it was probably lack of fatherhood
Whenever there was event in kindergarden, my father couldn`t come I got so used to it. Mom was busy raising my siblings so I was used to say nothing.
When my youngest sister was born, my father was at the house. She got all of his attention and she was so loved I was little old for that
I think that was a great difference. I like myself but not confident like her
I never mentioned it in from of my dad though because I know he worked so hard for us. Time had gone by and it`s so late to say those things
" Fake it till you make it." This is the first time I've come across this phrase, so consulted a dictionary. It is very thought-provoking and somehow I remembered an old Japanese saying. It goes as follows; 武士は食わねど高楊枝
>>451 Heh. I was trying to translate that sentence with jisho.org and the only example sentence they had for 高楊枝 was The one you gave. Their translation is
"A samurai, even when he has not eaten, uses a toothpick like a lord."
And I think I can see why it reminded you of that.
I seriously hope the second Korean War will happen and the Korean Peninsula will disappear completely Korea is a malignant cancer of Asia like the middle aged woman in this thread!
>>460 In fact, as this is 'Chat in English', I'll post a tirade of his on the 1994 film, North:
"I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it."
>>462 Stephen King's Dark Tower books (there are seven) are excellent. They have one of my favourite opening lines of all times: "The Man In Black fled across the desert, and the Gunslinger followed."
And things like The Lord of the Rings (if you're not super confident with reading, this may be a tad intimidating -- Tolkien's earlier work The Hobbit is more manageable),
Red Storm Rising, The Hunt for The Red October are Cold War intrigue 'what if' stories from Tom Clancy, written in the eighties.
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay is the story of a Jewish boy and his cousin that write comics, and is set before and after World War 2; very well written.
And here's something a bit shorter: bitDOTly/iHa16 (change DOT into ., 2ch yells at me when I post links.) Asimov was brilliant.
>>274 Getting divorced from complex reasons and killing a person for one simple reason, his 加齢臭? How dare you treat old men so lightly. It's youngsters arrogance, I think.
i`d seen a thread about 30s hikkikomori and how they`ll end up in the end but I felt it was quite better than my ex-boyfriend, who had gone to gambling and spend a lot of money including mine and his friend, without working
I do not really understand how gambler`s brain works. It`s almost as though their irresistable nature or something Whenever I mentioned about stopping gambling, he got so outraged I still have hard time understanding his behavior toward gambling
The very last day that we met, I still remember him asking for more money handing out his hand, saying " sorry but I dont have money and I need 2man yen" I totally couldn`t believe it but that was when I finally decided to let go
He gave me a lot of good influence on me and I really needed him at that time but he wasn`t the man I know of anymore
I told him, " sorry, but I need it" but I clearly determined to break-up On the bus way home, I cried so much. It was very long 5 yrs I really wished that he had done much better than that even if he didn`t know about the break-up I decided at that moment
I dont know if he just wanted sex in the very last or whatever but the feelings I had for him at that time was so filled with love So I dont regret it though Im upset
The gambling can ruin people`s life completely Eventhough, I told him million times, he couldnt stop He was collapsed but that`s the choice he made for himself I was his gf but I couldn`t have done anything but to watch him ruin his life like that
I dont even understand what he was thinking and I never will
He wrote a letter saying that he`ll return money every month little by little. I waited for a year but it never once returned. I wrote him a message saying that he should keep money and I dont want to see him again
When I break-up with ex and there were really good men who asked me out but I didnt have no feeling at all because I was too exausted
A year gone by and I was quite recovering from pain and I met my ex-husband He bought me many things and it was pretty surprising because whenever I dated with my ex, I paid them all. My ex didnt work, eventhough he had gone to work he quitted his job in 3 days saying it was too hard for him. My ex-husband, he worked hard and that seemed pretty good and so we got married
Many things occured and we got divorced but this is completely my fault I only felt so comfortable compare to the first ex.
Many told me why I ever had a date like that but at that time I was so unstable. I had a severe mental illness. I wanted to live so badly though There were many decent men who asked me out but I freaked out because of the illness I have. To me it was so hard to explain at that time Now it`s so common but back then depression was so rare
Although, my ex-boyfriend gave me life and I am satisfied People say that it was co-existance but I needed that to live No one really understand from outside but I knew more than others about what I needed the most
My mental state is getting stable so I better get on a right track
I hate people criticize others b/c they are things that people can never understand like my relationship with my first ex. I dont miss him anymore but I miss the day when I felt so alive
I think there are two possibilities as to how come she types in such a way. 1 She doesn't know how to type apostrophe. 2 She does it on purpose because she want us to identify her posts.
>>479 I know 'apostrophe but I like it ` this way. It`s just a little thing you dont need to worry about them
>>474 I didnt read them a lot b/c sentence was way too long and not that pleasant either It said that hikikomori only earns 50man a yr with no parents to rely on, they`d better start working asap so they dont waste their life
I think a person who wrote them on a thread is pretty kind but honestly, to me, was a big deal I believe all the hikikomori knows about that but hard time adapting to new environment. Im just divorced and shocked so I got this depression once again few months ago, so I couldn`t work but pushing and forcing hikikomori is not a quite good idea, according to my experience
My childhood friend is a hikki. He really have hard time adapting to the new environement. He really struggles b/c his parents and younger brothers are pushing him way too much. I have no word to say b/c my mom used to be like that before. Those people really dont listen because they never look things from different point of view but they only have " what should you do " I`d escaped from that situation from leaving the house and start living on my own. Many big conflicts occured. I even broke every dishes I could find inside the house screaming " just leave me alone! " They were all suprised because I was always just so obedient child
That was when I met my first ex. It was so nice that I had a chance to go to a big city and improve my working skill. Ex and I, we get along very well, except his stupid gambling habit. If he never did that thing, we were already married by now. Stupid of him to waste our time like this I really hope that he recovered from gambling habit but maybe it`s not quite possible
I hate him so much for what he had done and Im so glad that we didnt even had a chance to have our baby, because I dont want to end up having stupid father.
You must be a very strong person to survive these difficult situations. The next step is to decide how you can us eyour strength to your advantage. There is plenty of men out there but finding the right partner is a daunting task. I say, the more you network with the right people, the better the quality will be. Just keep away from OCD sufferers. Your boyfriend might have had OCD. Gamblers, alcoholics and violent men are a definite NO.
No no it's not how many times, it is the fact that you seemed obsessed with what people write here. I was just making fun of the acronym, btw didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Sorry if I did.
Oops, I made fun of it too. And I forgot what it really means lol. Honestly speaking, I can't accept her behavior. She could say to me "Oh, I know punctuation. I dare to do this things.". Now I feel sissy. Better to leave.
Thank you so much for being kind. It`s always nice to hear something good(*^_^*) OMG! I survived from many disasters, yeah really!!! I dont even have no clue how I`d survived from those impacts
It`s so good, whenever a guy with low wages saying that they don`t earn much and then I can reply that they should accept themselves more b/c there are people who never works but spend gf`s money on gambling and that is a total minus. At least they are plus! They also have will to work!
I have a question. Was your ex a gambler from the beginning? If he became a destoryer of life after he met you, I think you had responsibility to some extent for that.
Although, back then I was pretty ignorant, i guess I was very young and I really had hard time understanding my ex-bf. He really did help me out but I only thought that it was a pretty normal thing After several years past, since our break-up, I kind of feel that I never accepted the way he was. He sure wanted some comfort than my critical opinion expecially when he was having some difficulties I was too selfish sometimes and not that sensible type. I was just too desperate b/c all I ever thought about was to be with him forever
He had OCD but I think he did struggle a lot b/c of the way I was
I was always bringing out "rightness" on whatever things he said and done but it was so cruel thing to do. I didnt love him, I loved myself so much that I didnt want to hurt myself at all So I gotta give him a lot of credit for his braveness and kindness, I believe those were so true
>>495 He was doing some gambling before we met but it really got severe after few years after we had been together. I feel so terrible today, I sometimes think that all he asked from me was acceptance He accepted me but I was criticising him most of the time He should had been in a great pain being with me that way, but I did not notice at all. I was doing the exact same thing that mom did to me before I met him unconciously
I hated my mom so much b/c she ruled everything w/o no sacrifice of her own She took all the credit I made as if it`s a normal thing to do She always lectured about "rightness" but she never ever looked into my emotions I been so hurt. Whenever I started to express myself, she was so in fear and she manipulated my siblings and father as well, to make me understand that Im worthless I think she did that unconsicously but that was my life was all about until I met him.
I really love mom and all I ever wanted was acceptance I never meant to hurt anybody like this, especially what I went through Im pretty stunned Now I understand that my mom did love me in her way, at least she tried, and sometimes you cannot ask a certain people to love you 100% when they only have few. Unfortunately, that`s their limit. I knew that so I wanted to work She had no life either. She was always replying on others like a child never had feeling of success on her own but easy way to feel it through her daughter That must been so miserable
Some people say life is sweet and others say life is bitter. But according to Ikeda Akiko san,who is an late eesayist on philosophcal matters, first of all, we have no idea what life is like.
I had many influece from Seiko Tanabe, a Japanese author,who is an optimist and realist. and she writes very romantic novels filled with many beautiful aphorism I think life is sometimes sweet and so bitter but not that bad after all I feel like this especially when I read her novels. She is very old now, and I really hope that she lives more and write more stories for her fans
Seiko Tanabe is very deeply educated, knows a lot of things about Japanese ancient history and words. What impress me the most is that she always have her own way of explaining things on her own words. It really takes my breath away I remembered about a tutor, who graduated the old women`s college, she taught me many of Japanese and Chinese traditional stories. Whenever I open a book and read Tanabe-san`s novels, it reminds me of that very charming tutor. Nowadays, people do not get that sort of education and it`s more like memorizing. It should be so boring
Yeah, translators can be likened to bridges between diffrent cultures. I've learned from a book that thanks to a competent translator, Kawabata Yasunari was able to win Nobel prize for literature. I admire a person like Mr.ドナルドキーン, who have profound knowledge of Japanese classical literature.
what about 小泉八雲, who translated Japanese ghost stories and some traditional stories. I never read them in English I used to love to read Narnia. My favorite was Rohald Dahl. I hope someday I find really good translation of that book Im not smart with words so I wish somebody translate those brilliant books in Japanese. If you like Hobbit, I used to love Satoru Sato`s book about コㇿポックㇽ (korpokkur) クロボックル is a name from Ainu meaning small people who lives underneath giganteus(leaves) I really love the drawings on those books too.
If you really like horror, there are many splendid horror stories in Japan I loved 岩井志麻子`s ぼっけぇきょうてぇ(Okayama dialect). Japanese have a lot of dialect and it`s really really scary when it is spoken in dialect. My mom and grandma used to scare us so much when we were so young with many scary stories with their own dialect. 芥川`s novel about a Spider thread was so scary when I see it on tv anime, Japanese old stories, when I was only in a elementary school There are so many that I can`t explain them all!
When I was in US, I used to be friend with this girl who really love horror stories but those were really splatter. I dont like splatter much. I tried to explain Japanese horror but it was so hard to do, so I gave up. Until the movie "Ring" The movie "Ring" is pretty satisfying but it`s quite different from original fear Sometimes, I feel that Im missing some brilliant folk tales, and will never know them all before I pass away Every country has it`s own interesting stories and I believe that all are still not revealed
This like a lesson for us in contemporary Japanese literature. Thank you so much! I really appreciate Caregiver-san's comments. At the same time, I feel saddened by the family situation when I read what she has written. This is the first time I am getting afeel of how Japanese interpersonal relationships are. Meybe you sould start writing a book about this.
How come you are not living abroad caregiver-san. I know you don't like challenges but it would have changed your world. Your English could be put into good use abroad.
Thank you so much KameGirl So many people told me that I should work aborad but Im so coward Also I really love Japan especially foods I really missed Japanese Udon so much when I used to live in foreign country As I get older, eventhough it`s just a week of vacation to foreign country, I miss Japanese foods so much. When I come back home, I go straight to a store to buy Omusubi
Im so sad that Tanabe-san`s brilliant books are not translated so much in English I know many foreigners love her books too when they have a chance to read them When I read her books, I feel so and so happy that I could able to read Japanese I always have 2 books of Tanabe`s novels. One for a bath and one to read inside the bed I cannot live a day without her novels and essay.
>>516 I really hesistate to share her works with others because you feel that something really you love, you want to keep them secret, but it`s almost so impossible Her novels are really hard to translate b/c she has this Osaka dialect, a very old and traditional one, I guess It is pretty unique with so much deep expression in each words she uses
If there is anyone who could ever be able to translate her novels throughly, I think that person is really genious. In her essay, sometimes she explains about the meaning and expression of the traditional Osaka dialect. Some are same with dialect I used to hear when I was young from elderly so it is understandable thru my cells or DNA but some I really need to think, sometimes When I explain these things maybe it looks so complicated but the fact is that the every great novels are very easy to read. I really dont know how she does that. She is so talented
Generally, women are talkative and I don't understand such a mentality as can talk about personal affairs in public even if it is in anonymous. But somehow, I'm envious of their lifestyle because it seems to me that they are more down-to-earth people than us, men.
The good thing about anonymous is that we can share feelings with others and you have time to sort things out Some are really good advise. Most of the agonies, before you talk it out, it`s really a big deal, but once you pull them out in words, you realize that it`s just nothing much more than you think. Then when I have a chance to discuss these things with someone I know,w/o too much emotions, I notice that they all do have some pain within them. Everybody goes thru hard times. No one is perfect.
Whenever I ride a train alone for a long trip, meet someone new abroad, and have some drink in the bar, we`re all anonymous and some starts talking about their life. I heard so some of those. It is probably that we`re anonymous The real pain is really hard to reveal when you know this person too much Men are more competitive so they are not likely to share with others and I think that is a right choice but I really believe that it`s so hard to keep them on their own It`s so impossible for me to do that. I keep a secret but I do not want to know them most of the times
Maybe I'm gonna make a new thread specifically for the middle aged woman... She has literally destroyed this thread with bunch of stupid personal stories... She is like a pest! It needs to be exterminated
>>528 Are you a winner then? >>522 Btw what about those who write about their miserable 2D auto-erotic rituals all the time? How they get furious about others who have a 3D sex-life? I think it classifies as private but then you guys are such hopeless hypocrites.
It`s so sad to see guys who love virgins. I had been reading about it in the thread and I found out that they`re just so pure I used to think that they were all freaks I really hope that they`ll find some in the future but they should really stop swearing because it really make them look stupid I believe many virgins are reading threads and they might freak out
>>527 but I remember you said men are commitment phobic. Don't you think that means women are more positive about social interaction? When you interact with someone, what do you think is needed?
as far as i knnow , that seems to be difficult more than to lost your verginity . and There is one advice for you from me . don't forget to put on seifuku on the sikenbi.
>>537 I think to interact, you must create a tiny bond of some sort, really a tiny one suffices. If it grows, you can work on it, if not it means you don't want to invest your DNA to on that person. Or more likely, the woman does not want you to b ea donor. I guess women are simply un inhibited, unlike you guys, by nature. We are the "birth machines" so we need to be more clever in life than you. If a woman is inhibited, life becomes hell for her. Read that religion or strict upbringing.
>>540>>541 Thank you for your reply and advice. I want to watch Family ties but it don't sell DVD of Japan ver 1 2 or 4 volumes. So,I would like to become nice about English and watch it in English.
Actually, I think now the age for getting married is rising How women live is changing as well Most of our parents married around in the early 20s but today, people refer that is too early to get married here in Japan If guys are really considering about virginity, then they should blame it on the society rather than women. When she has a job there are a lot of reasons that many were unable to get married I dont think many are sluts but the society changed dramatically in several years
Actually, women do feel frustration but it does not mean that they want to marry to any kind of guy. If we just need a guy, they`re everywhere But searching for the right one is very difficult to find b/c it`s almost once in your life time. Eventhough you see 100 men, you could only find few who fits you. Men are pretty ugly in many ways so it`s really hard to find a guy who has very good internal emotions. Most guys dont have them
When you say sluts, you mean promiscuous, immoral right? The word slutis offensive and used to insult women. Men as well as women can be classified as sluts.
>>545 Personally,I've never looked on women as "birth machines" but come to think of it, you may be right. There is a word that says "うまずめ(石女)”in Japanese, which means a woman who cannot give birth to a baby or whose reproductive organs malfunction. I've regarded it as an obsolete word because it was active only in an era when feudal patriarchalism had been maintained. Civil law in the Meiji period determined that the eldest son would inherit the fortune and the patriarchal rights of the family. In such a system, it was evident that women had to play a role as "birth machine." However, the system was abolished after World War 2. The Japanese society has changed drastically. Women have gained freedom to some extent but when it comes to marriage, the system may still remains alive because we think of a family or ie(家)as the basic unit of society.
I'm reading "Treasure Island" by R.L.Stevenson for training of rapid reading. But there are many words which I don't know in the text, so reading of me is not rapid reading.
The reason why you ousted the mid age woman is because she took the attention away. LOL
Aren't you the one who got into a fit and said "I am going to jump on a plane go to Scandinavia to support the racist Vikings." you said you were going to strip naked in the cold. Now the puzzle fits.
Im so suprised to see that there are just so many gays all over Gays are much better than bi though What if my partner tells me that he is a bi I dont even understand what bi stands for...it`s way beyond my imagination Because in the bible, it says, God created Man and Woman...where does bi fit? No where in the bible that mentioned about bi. If Bible said, God created, Man, Woman and Bi, I`ll probably just understand Im very very very confused
Although, biologically, bi is better because they are able to have a child Gays are unable to have a child so their family tree stops there Honestly, I think that`s pretty sad thing but men fight for women`s attention so if there are a lot of gays, less conflict, i guess What about Bi? That`s very a big question
>>571 hello um...I don`t know the truth at all. It`s only my stupid guessing but I thought the company he belongs has a lot of rumors about gays Although, I think girls won`t leave him alone so maybe he`ll have sex with girls b/c he is still too young. Athletes, I always doubt that they`re so gay. Musculine guys are sometimes very strange
When I was going to gym with my friend, she was always saying that " oh that guy is a gay " and I asked her why? then she said, " look, they always see the mirrors or they`re just watching men " So I looked them really closely and I found out that they`re doing exactly what she was saying... I was so funny I noticed that they really LOVE themselves. Although, it`s much better than disgusting guys who tries hard to touch women`s body. So annoying!
One of the most understandable but crazy apology is by President Obama. He was force to do apologize. Why do you have to apologize for saying something along the line of "you are beautiful" or "you are good looking" or "You are attractive." Yeah, you can expect some feminist say you shouldn't associate women's looks with career success but it's just a compliment. Why you have to apologize when you compliment them. Real stupid and funny news.
>>579 US has this very unique type sometimes do you remember the news about McDonald`s coffee? I think this old woman won in the court lol that was really hilarius
This video is pretty cool. Just ad revenue from YouTube can help her cover college tuition? Just wow. Tiny dusts accumulated is higher than Mt. Everest?
Too sad the iron lady has died... It's really sad although I'm not British but I'm just a yellow monkey... Although they were covered under her clothes, I bet she had iron nipples. RIP
Former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher has died following a stroke. She was 87.
The British media on Monday reported the death of Baroness Thatcher, who served as the country's first female prime minister, for 11 years from 1979.
She was dubbed the "Iron Lady" for her strong, determined style of leadership.
After graduating from Oxford University, she entered the House of Commons in 1959 on the Conservative ticket.
She became the leader of the Conservative Party in 1975.
Her party took over power from the Labor Party in general elections in 1979, pledging an economic recovery by a small government.
Baroness Thatcher pursued policies focusing on a market economy, privatizing about 40 government-owned companies. She paved the way for revitalizing the country's economy through fiscal deregulation and big tax cuts.
During the final years of the Cold War era, she worked in tandem with then US president Ronald Reagan opposing communism.
She was also in power when the United Kingdom went to war with Argentina over the Falkland Islands in 1982. Britain resolved the issue by using its military might.
She retired from the post of the prime minister in 1990 after provoking disapproval from within the government and the party over her stance distancing the country from moves toward unity in Europe.
>>595 A lot of people are either sad or very happy, depending on their political views. She was very much hated by working class Britain (She oversaw the collapse of the mining industry and a lot of people lost their jobs).
Most have an opinion of her, which is why it's news.
It was in my high school that I learned Thatcher for the first time. In my text book, she was featured as "Iron Lady who was against the Soviet Union". That means she was described as just a politician appeared during the Cold War.
I was impressed, however, by the headlines because I found Thatcher was either loved or hated in Britain.
I don't care. I judge from facts. Australia are doing a stupid act. It is a fact. Government is accountable to the people. People are accountable to the government. Aussie won't get out of Japan. Aussie should stop their government.
>>608 Your Japanese is probably not good enough for you to understand the original article. The article is about a case filed at the International Court of Justice by the *Australian* government, and New Zealand was mentioned only in passing.
By the way, it is quite disgusting that the Australian government is actively supporting eco-terrorists that are the Sea Shepherds. The anti-whaling champaign by Western countries was always politically motivated and scientifically unsound anyway, and I am glad that the matter was finally brought to the ICJ.
>>610 I understood that much, but I assumed it was directed at me as I am a narcissist. :) Plus someone had made a comment about NZ being a state of Australia earlier.
The Sea Shepherd guys _are_ a stupid bunch of people. Even among save-the-whales types over here they're not particularly liked; the leader is a douche bag. He was swanning about the Wellington waterfront mooching coffees from café's. He's not a poor man. Makes six figures, I think.
Occasionally Japanese fishing boats have killed whales in NZ territorial waters, and that I'm not okay with. But I'm not particularly concerned with what a country does in their own waters.
You have a strong mind. I can't help feeling afraid. If the judge should be strange, the world would lose one of the world conscience system. The conscience is not the hypocrisy for whales, but the logical ability. Aussie have wrong logical presuppositions. If they threw out the wrong idea, they would be an enemy of mankind.
I liked Hikozaemon( Youtube bloger). I can tell Aussie from NZ.
>>607 Don't generalize a certain group of people by a few samples. Not all Australians equal Sea Shepherds alright?I think you never met/talked with one except on the Internet. Go out and talk to real people, then you realize something important... I don't want you guys to think all of us are racist bastards like these people. I said this cause some of you seem to be from overseas...
When I lived in a fishing district, I ate about four times a wee but now I eat once a week. Whale is high price here. I have never eaten dolphin but I want to eat someday. I have etaten deer , bear , sealion, boar and horse meat. They are very delicious. Dolphin must be so, too.
If you were to think "Japanese people don't always eat whale → Whale hunting is unnecessary."the thinking would not be logical.
whaling ban → whale meat disappeared from Japanese meals →Japanese people don't always eat whale →start the commercial whaling again → stable supplies → Food companies develop their own products →become a major food in Japan → __  ̄ ̄ ̄二二ニ=- '''''""" ̄ ̄ -=ニニニニ=-
I don't want to eat dog and cat, but I don't care if people eat them. I don't eat a pet dolphin in the aquarium as well as a pet pig at home. But many many people eat pig.
>>619 Look, what I'm trying to say is it's okay to blame the government but not the people.. How do you feel if someone from gaikoku blamed you for something your government decided on or did? Like in our case, nuclear accidents? You will probably be like it's not me who decided to have nuclear power plants! Don't blame me !
>>624 I think that's crazy -- people make up the government, but you are not all people! To make oneself directly accountable for the actions of a mechanism by which your only action is to vote is madness.
>>616 Speaking for myself, don't worry about it. Every group has some people on the extremes. Besides that, I'm sure even those people are nice enough in person. See John Gabriel's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/03/19
>>629 I'm not saying they shouldn't feel _any_ responsibility. But it needs to be a proportionate measure. More than that isn't just over the top, it's insincere.
I am a super ultra wonderful logical person but I cannot only sepak English well. I can explain the engi self-responsiblity system in Jpanese, but I cannot do in English. Then the engi self-responsibility system is more valuable than the theory of justice by Sandel.
>>631 All I am saying is that an individual cannot take more responsibility for a government body's actions above that of a fraction of the voting population.
The sitting members should clearly take the bulk of the responsibility, that is their job, that is why they get paid so much.
It's a simple question I ask you, not of philosophy, but maths: why should one person take more than their share of responsibility, because that is what you are asking of people.
>>633 Sure. There's a difference between saying you're sorry for your government's actions and someone directly attacking people because of their governments actions, which some people/person in this thread have/has done. The latter is just an excuse for a pre-existing bigotry, usually.
At any rate, this thread is getting too negative, so I apologise. Something more light hearted, then. No hard feelings, 633, I hope? :)
To learn the 漢字 I've been using wanikani.com. It's a little unstable, but it's pretty good. Currently trying to get my little head around the way the readings can change in various words.「一人」becoming「ひとり」, that kind of thing.
>>634 it is like a sports. The rule has interactive nature. Those who are bieng criticized have to understand it. In addition, 607 is not for you, but you think I said it for you.
>>637 "Aussie" refers to an individual usually, and only the country when it's unambiguous. I see you meant "Australia" and not "Australian" now. Mea Culpa! m(_ _)m
By the way i heard New Zealand is a racist country like Australia. They hate especially Asians. Is that true? Also Australia is a country which is made up of offsprings of the criminals right? So is New Zealand?
I'm sorry Bernard, I apologize. please let this pathetic loser parctice his English on you. This is the only place he can use English because he has no friends in real life.
As someone not particularly fond of anime/manga (nothing against it, just don't obsess over it) I feel like I'm not in the usual target market for people learning Japanese. >_<
>>659 how do you know Bernard is white?Remeber he just said New Zealnd is a multi-ethnic/cutural country? I can't help feeling sorry for you, your brain seems to be really fucked up. From now on, I'll completely ignore you okay. Enjoy practicing cussing ^^
>>658 I've never seen any of myfreinds studying with those things.w
How long have you studied Kanji? You might know, Japanese children learn Kanji for six years in their elementary schools and for another three years in their junior high. Even though they learn Kanji for nine years(or more), they often don't write it correctly.
It's quite natural that those who study Kanji for only a few years feel writing Kanji is difficult. Good luck.
un, it could be a waste of time trying to remeber how to write all kanji because now we don't write by hand as often...Plus they don't make you write them on JLPT test!they only have multiple choice questions.. So I think if you can read them, you don't have to be able to write them. Of course it'd be better if you can! One of my friends were focusing too much on the stroke order and I told him that's not very smart...
>>674,672,669 This is just the reading. You know, meaning, kun'yomi and on'yomi readings. I'm not sure what that list actually is, it could be from the Jōyō kanji, or just wanikani's syllabus. It's generated automatically, so it adds to the motivation of learning them.
That and knowing when the racist guy is calling me shit without having to look in my dictionary. n_n
>>676 I work for people overseas, so I keep odd hours. :D
And we call them kiwifruit here. The american way of saying 'kiwi' when referring to the fruit makes "I like to eat kiwi" a rather distressing sentence. :D
>>617 Interesting. so Whale meat was like what burgers and steak to Americans. Are you a part of an indiginious community that hunts whales? I have anthropologist friends who research such communities. I never made that deduction, just asked your whale meat intake. I think you are extremely defensive in your stance and illogical yourself.
>>678 I cannot express my super logial thinking in English. The following sentences are correct as Japanese but may be wrong as English.
【前提(premise)→導出(derivation)→結論(conclusion)】 is 論証(argumentation)
Deduction refers to the derivation. Most people cannot distinguish between argumentation and derivation. Japan has clear premise about whale hunting. I have derived logically from there. If you admit the premise, the conclusion is correct. So if you want to deny my conclusion , you need deny my premise. But your question(614,615) is not about premise, so I still correct. Moreover 678 is not about derivation,too.
There is no right or wrong in this situation. There is only "I am right because I possess an inherently superior logic compared to you". Your logical flow chart is only a part of the whole situation. You are excluding a lot of information from your argument. For instance you have not included a flow path for the situation when whales are killed on a mass scale to feed the Japanese population on a regular basis. Can the market fulfill the demand, say if you opened whale burger shops? You will end up making whales go extinct and there won't be any more to eat. That is why I asked you how much whale meat you consume and whether your livelihood depended on it as in the case of indigenous people.
>>678 I missed. I translated "I never made that deduction, just asked your whale meat intake." into wrong Japanese. Yod don't think "Japanese people don't always eat whale → Whale hunting is unnecessary." I got it. sorry.
But it is impossible for me to understand the English of the 681 perfectly. Premise of the whaling issue is very simple. Whales will not become extinct because they are protected. Commercial whaling is not overfishing.
Sorry if I made >>681 not so clear. All it is asking is, what happens when there are more people to feed and not many whales to feed them. Perhaps you are part of the commercial whaling activity. That might be why you are so concerned, from a job point of view? We need to do a simple calculation.First from the population of Japan, estimate number of people who may consume whale meat on a regular basis. Then how often they would consume it if commercial whaling was allowed. Then from a whale, work out the average kg of edible meat, and work out the number of whales that need to be hunted per person per unit of time. Then work out whether there are enough whales to feed the population, their lifetime and reproduction frequency, survival success rate and how you could manage hunting without making them go extinct. You need an algorithm to run on a computer to get the right information.
I suspect if your whaling activity would be reduced to keep them alive the hunting cost would barely allow to make a profit. All at the expense of a dwindling, depressed and near-extinct species. I cannot see they are increasing in population. So in my opinion you will be eating them to extinction and that is not smart for the ecosystem at all.
Obviously you don't know this but actually there are a lot of scientific evidence that because japan has been doing whaling, the ecosystem of ocean has been sustained as well.
The price of whale meat is determined only by supply and demand.Japan will have continued to join International Whaling Commitee. Whale meat will not take the place of Beef, pork, chicken fish and so on.There are only more choices than now. So we need not estimate such number of people.Whales are at the top of the ocean ecosysytem. Some species of whale are on the verge of extinction, but others like Mink whale not. If there are too many whales in the sea, fish catch will decrease.
>That might be why you are so concerned,...
I don't belong to any job related to whaling. I don't like anti-whaling people like Sea Shepherd. I'm sorry, 2ch regulations start, this post is the last.
>>690 No, they don't. Someone, who entries the same provider as me, made a nuisance somewhere in 2ch . A lot of 2channeler get completely involved in this regulation. I cannot write most of the 2ch's threads including here.
For those who are regulated, there is a thread where they ask someone kind to post to the regulated threads on behalf of them. I didn't post 688 and don't post this. A kind person posted 688 and probably another kind person posted this. So I said,"this post is the last." and ,yes, this post is the last. Thank you for discussion.
Today i was moments from car crashing. Moron exited across my lane missing me by centimeters. Without concentration i would be dead or injured Does anyone share stories?
My neighbor, he was so crippled. Noone ever believed that he did see things much Every neighbors were complaining, and some reported to police of the way he drives Every morning he drives around his neighbor, 10km/hr. God damn! People were going so crazy about it b/c they had to go to work but this car was going so slow but it is also so dangerous to tell him to ride more faster!
>>696 you know what? I`d notice that guys smell different in each and every country I`ve worked with American, Spanish, Phillipino, Indian, Turkish, Chinese, Australian and English guys but my smelling sensor learned that they all stink in various ways. Ofcourse, there is an individual difference but it was pretty interesting.
I don`t usually see stinky women but why do men stink? Some guys smell like they never had a bath in their life Japan is such a humid place so that the smell gets very strong it floats around everywhere especially during summer
My former colleague, she told me that a guy who sits right next to her, he was very famous for his odor between women in the office, but said it gave her too much headache. I feel so sorry for her because she had to wear this mask and put some popuri around her desk to keep away from that smell. Although, it really did not help that much becuase since popuri smell too good, his smell was so distinctive. So she threw popuri away
So the girls in the office really considered her situation and we fixed the direction of the air conditioner and so on but then other girl started to complain.
Men really need to take a bath or at least a shower during summer
I truely believe that smell can kill a cockroach instantly
That guy wore almost same shirt every single day so I think he never really wash them or take to a cleaning
If you work in the office, if you go out with friends, you get to meet a lot of foreigners since I speak English well. I know that I was in this special environment than others but how they ever come up with imagining having relationships with colleagues and the every people I meet just because they`re foreigners? lol
I know that I see some girls are like that but it`s so rare in the office Whenever I was in the club, my friend and I are so careful about that
As a long term expat in the UK I can tell you women are lonely and getting lonelier. 43% women aged 18-49 are never married singles, doubled since 1972:
I recommend guppies. I once had some golden fishes for about ten years. One of them grew up very large, say, more than 30 centimeters. Golden fishes can grow so large that you may have trouble keeping them.
I have never had guppies but I suppose that even if they grow large, they mustn't be larger than golden fishes. You'll be able to keep them more easily.
My only experience with goldfish was years and years ago when my older brother got a gold fish from a school fair. Those fish are always fragile, and it was dead within a week iirc.
No gaijin is not a racial slur word. Only those who are really self conscious stupid gaijins (or stupid japanese) find this word offensive. In actual fact, foreigners in japan love to call themselves "gaijins".
>>729 I am sick and tired of people saying that the word "gaijin" is a racial epithet. IT IS NOT. "Gaijin" is a fairly neutral word that is used both casually and formally, and the word itself does not involve any value judgment. We even add the postfix -san ("gaijin-san") to refer to our guests from foreign countries with respect and even affection.
There is a ridiculous theory circulating around that "gai-" in the word was originally 害 ("harm"), but that theory is totally inconsistent with the way we use the word. So much for paranoid-schizoid thinking!
I still don't understand what made him say that, he hates my enthusiasm? When I talk about Kame to my friends I am basically adverstising Japan. That is good for Japanese business and economy. So why is he showing this reflex of hatred?
I personally think he hates his own country if he hates Johnny's. This little boy came from a very poor family, and worked hard, very hard to get to where he is now. He did not even have a proper education nor live his childhood freely. He lived away from parents to attend training, which is very tough. He put his body and soul into his work. Despite all this attention he is very modest and polite to everyone. He is a representative for many Japanese brand names at home and abroad. He drew attention to Japanese music, Japanese drama, Japanese baseball and Japanese goods. People from the other side of the world watch his CMs, dramas, TV programmes. He has become a modern day, youthful ambassador for Japan. What the hell has >>726 done to promote his country? Play games all day long in a small room and flame foreigners on 2ch?
If so, when will you fucking colonialist apologise and pay compensation money for unfortunately colonised countries? Or are you one of those white shit who think colonisation can be justifiable because you white shit developed infrastructure or something? What a shameless asshole...
I have nothing to do with the said persons above so don't waste your precious energy on me. I will never buy pumpkin soup again because I will think when I warm it up it will say "kimoi!kimoi gaijin!!", ahhaahaha. >>759 I agree, but it is fun. I like it when they are cornered.
I heard there might be a huge restriction starting from tomorrow I`ll be going out to work and see ya around half a yr later! That will be around Autumn! OMG! Good luck with you guys and also to myself
my provider was in that list and it said it will be restricted for around 6 months. It sucks. I don`t know what happened. Although, I can finally stay away from my pc and concentrate on my work or whatever. I`ll be on a diet as well. Hope everything will go really fine!
Seems like I have gotten to able to post on 2ch again after access denial to my ISP was over. This sometimes happens when an idiot with the same ISP did somethign bad to 2ch.
>>779 We would like to think of ourselves as private, introverted yet thoughtful, tho :) You do understand that a sample of Japanese males in this thread is pretty skewed, right?
People tend to get a little psychotic here at 2ch, and bad English doesn't help at all. You must have been pretty shocked the first time you came here. How did you learn about 2ch?
I watched Densha Otoko and was curious. I was not shocked. Every country I lived in have people who behave this way. It is nothing special. anonymity allows to maintain a superficial and impolite and cruel character in men. I don't believe they are all like that but most men have ego complexes. and it shows. It most be a boring state of mind.
>>784 Wow, what a show of female chauvinism! I have seen a lot of women revealing their "superficial and impolite and cruel" characters as anonymous users here at 2ch, so I don't think collective craziness at 2ch is gender-specific in any way.
Don't jump to conclusions so easily please. This thread is receiving more male attention than female. The ego situation is so bad that you made caregiver-san another thread. I am basing my opinion on my experience on THIS thread. Since I do not speak Japanese, I did not come across the superficialimpolite and cruel females.
Don't be so afraid. I am not a chauvinist. I am not your enemy. I just stated my observation. Don't dismiss it just because it doesn't suit you. Try to be flexible a little, and see it from my side please.
>>788 Well, I did not read this thread in the last few years, so I don't even know who the heck is "caregiver-san."
When I wrote that you were a chauvinist, I was assuming that you could at least read Japanese and that you were reasonably familiar with the Japanese Internet culture. If that hadn't been the case, you should never have generalized your fairly limited observation to the rest of the online community as that is just intellectually unsound.
Hang on bossy boots, don't lecture me about what I should write here, I said I was talking about THIS THREAD. Is it a taboo?
Caregiver-san is female and someone in this thread got really annoyed with her honest confessions, thoughts about her relationships, books, films, music and made her a thread specifically. How is that not patronising. Despite the fact that she makes very interesting conversations, It turns out that she has a lot of followers and he could not stand her getting all the attention. (ego problem) That would never happen in a thread in the UK. There is sexism there, flames, insults too but never this kind of act of gender segregation.
>>791 Well, you might not know this, but using a handle name at 2ch is considered a HUGE risk regardless of your gender as you would attract unnecessary hostile attention. I'm sorry to hear what happened to caregiver-san, but, quite unfortunately, this is the business as usual here at 2ch.
>>794 you are right. maybe its a she-male. >>796 not any more chauvinist than you boys on this thread. Italians have been smothering Kame with love and affection: http://queenjin.tumblr.com/post/48600083981 I mean how cute can he get? my little sunshine. How can you label me a chauvinist when I have so much love for men? You have no heart nor any sense at all.
Now I realise kame-something is so similar to the middle-aged woman because they both hate males and gay people! It's time to go to another thread, kame-something?
>>810 Now she's リア充, different from us after joining workforce of America. Not time to spend time with us anymore. Judging from her major and where she moved to (Washinton State), she works for Microsoft, earning lots of money. I ENVY her.
>>817 If you had simply written "anonymity allows to maintain a superficial and impolite and cruel character," then I would have understood, and I wouldn't have called you a chauvinist. I apologize for using such a strong word, but please do understand that the kind of generalizations you made about men are extremely unfair to us.
>>815 Really? I didn't know she moved to WA. I still have her email address, but I guess there is no point in emailing her. It was so much fun hanging out with her here 5 years ago. I have such fond memories of her, and I'm glad somebody still remembers her.
>>815 I was to visit Suzume-chan after I moved to California, but I had to cancel the trip because I was so busy preparing for grad school. That's the only thing I regret about her.
>>818 But it does. Do you deny it? One of you pointed out "but females behave like that on 2ch too!"and enlightened me. Then I realised that anonimity it allows EVERYONE to be agressive. So I gained a wider picture. What is anti-male bias this situation?
>>819 When you guys have actually censored one female and are trying to shoo me out, and complain about "unfairness", it makes me wonder what type of illogical wiring you have got for gender bias there. Put forward what you think in a logical manner please, not like whiny adams in distress acting on hurt and emotions.
>>824 How many times do I have to tell you that I do not fucking know anything about this caregiver-san? You are the one being illogical here, lumping all anonymous users together.
>>825 I don't f***ing know you either nor do I care. Of course you are the same. You are all anonymous- with no distinctions. Army of conforming 2chnners. That is how you define yourselves right?
>>828 If you don't care, you shouldn't be here. If you had a modicum of intelligence, you could actually tell who wrote which posts by carefully examining styles of writing. You must understand that behind anonymous posts are real people. You are being bashed not because you are a woman but because you do not understand social norms that dictate interactions here. I have seen a few female foreigners here, and they seemed to know their way around here. Unfortunately, you do not.
An ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"), short for argumentum ad hominem, is an argument made personally against an opponent instead of against their argument. Ad hominem reasoning is normally described as an informal fallacy, more precisely an irrelevance. (wikipedia)
Ad hominem because you are attacking me personally.
Ad nauseam is a Latin term for something unpleasurable that has continued "to [the point of] nausea. For example, the sentence, "This topic has been discussed ad nauseam", signifies that the topic in question has been discussed extensively, and that those involved in the discussion have grown tired of it.(wikipedia)
Ad nauseam because you repeating some superficial rules over and over again like a total control freak.
>>836 I took Logic 101 over a decade ago, so you don't have to give me these definitions :-)
First, my posts are meant to be constructive criticisms, so the term "ad hominem" doesn't apply here.
Second, these seemingly "superficial" rules are quite important if you want to avoid real ad hominem attacks here. They are ad nauseam to you only because you don't understand how important they are.
I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince you as you don't seem open-minded enough to be curious about the culture here.
>>840 In that case, I want to talk about Dark Souls 2.
From are releasing the PC version with the initial release. :D And they say it'll be good on release. DS1 was locked at 720p and 30 fps. Mods fixed that, but Blight town still doesn't run well. It doesn't on the PS3 either, so that's okay.
Ah, this makes me want to start another DS1 game. I never did save Solaire. :(
"If YOU don't care, YOU shouldn't be here. If YOU had a modicum of intelligence, YOU could actually tell who wrote which posts by carefully examining styles of writing.

I have seen a few female foreigners here, and they seemed to know their way around here. Unfortunately, YOU do not. "
there are 9 YOU's in six sentences. The subject is "YOU".
Everything is directed at me, not the argument. Including that incredibly rude
"If you had a modicum of intelligence..."
If a man told that to another man that would be an insult. I guess some people have no problem stooping that low to directly and shamefully insulting others, especially when that person is a foreign woman.
>>844 Everything was directed at you because they are constructive criticisms for YOU. Also, I was being EASY on you because you are a foreign woman.
If you had been a Japanese man, I would have simply written, "Unplug your LAN cable and hang yourself with it." That's a customary way to treat a clueless newbie at 2ch.
>>848 Beating the base game isn't >too< hard. The expansion content is quite difficult though, if you haven't tried it, it's probably worth picking that up.
>>821 I think I have her email addy, too. If you're serious about get in touch with her, do so. I don't deserve to be talking with her in the real world, so I won't email her. Oh, it's been 5 years? Time really flies...
>>860 2ch is a cruel place, especially for a poster who can be identified with thier name. (in your case, KameGirl is the clue.) Please remind that not all posters here post negative comments about you. It's just one or a few who are making fun of you. The best bet is to ignore those hate posts, although I know it is hard to do. Anyway, let's just have fun.
>>859 Nah, that's OK... It would be pretty awkward anyway to email her after 5 years. I moved to San Francisco in 2008 and she said she would show me around in LA, but I just didn't know SF and LA were so far apart!
As I look back, it was nothing short of a miracle that Suzume-chan even came here. A real nice Caltech graduate with fluency in Japanese! We couldn't have asked for more.
Actually, men are like turtles When they are rolled and turned upside down, they have hard time fixing themselves to the right position So they must stick on to the right position all the times lol We girls love rolling! Look how Tina Turner sings Pround Mary!
>>869 I was wondering how long have you guys been stuck to mom's breast feeding? My relative had breast feeding her son for 2 yrs and at the same time her son was eating rice or noodles. He wanted more but his teeth hurts her nipples so she had to quit feeding him It was very strange thing to see tho it's so fresh. 100% pure milk
Those American chanting "USA! USA!" after the custody of Boston bombing suspect look real stupid. That's a destorted patriotism. The bombing attributes to those morons who didn't accept the immigrants.
>>879 >>881 I think it is really a big shame when some people say something like this when there are some innocent people passed out in this tragic bombing Eventhough, it is an anonymous thread, it does not give you any permission to say something like this. It is very depressing If you would like to share your own thoughts, then it would be so much better in the style of discussion. This is very very wrong.
The bombers are both innocent immigrants. It's americans who didn't accept and help them get along well with american society. Americans are to be blamed, not the bombers. The wife of killed one is extremely beautiful. He caimed he has no Ameican friends but I guess she's American? I wonder how they met?
Utter nonsense. A number of people can be 'blamed' here, but I think I'll take wisdom from their Uncle Ruslan;
"they did it because they're losers!"
They made their choice. They, and they alone. We musn't give those of a sick mind an easy out by pointing at society; at what point does the buck passing stop?
I'll tell you where; at the people that made a bomb and set it off.
>>887 The situation is not *that* clear-cut, though. I am not saying these terrorists are not responsible for the crime they committed. However, it is also true that American society is full of people who are willing to shamelessly exploit newly arrived immigrants, and you could be blissfully ignorant of such despicable exploitation if you are not an immigrant yourself.
It is pretty easy to point a finger at the terrorists and avoid facing social problems. If you project collective badness onto "losers," it will backfire, and it will backfire quite badly as this incident shows clearly.
This was premeditated. This was not a spur of the moment shooting, a moment of madness; they found out how to make an IED, and deployed it.
At the end of the day, THEY PLANTED A BOMB AND EXPLODED IT IN A CROWD. Yes, there are societal problems, but that does not alleviate the horrific nature of what they did, IMO.
>>891 It is quite possible that their resentment toward society built up over the years. I am not saying that what they did was not bad. I am just saying that we should not ignore the fact that American society unfairly exploits immigrants. Otherwise, we will continue to see incidents like this.
>>892 My point is that resentment or no, there's no point at which "explode people" is the response of a reasonable human being to that resentment -- we mustn't give madmen too much credit.
>>893 Well, I would say that resentment can be quite irrational. That's just the human nature. If you push people too hard, they will eventually break. People can tolerate only so much.
>>894 I don't think there's been any evidence of them being particularly abused or exploited, however. We will maybe see what the younger brother says. Before he gets executed, because I don't see them letting him end his life with anything but a needle in his arm.
That's a wee grim isn't it? Here, have a Yu Darvish gif:
>>895 I would love to hear what the younger brother has to say, too. Btw, that's a great GIF! I wish all immigrants were as successful as Darvish is :)
Some imposters have been impersonating my handle and I will not tolerate the slandering comments attached to it. I did not post the inappropriate and loathsome remarks posted in >>871 >>878 >>881 Those who posted those insulting comments have done this without my consent. Not only they must have ego problems, they must mental problems too. It very upsetting to see such actions at such a sensitive time that hurt many inncocent people. Their actions show what cowardly and insensitive persons they are.
>>898 For what it's worth KameGirl, I knew they weren't you because they (a) sage'd and (b) English isn't their first language and (c) who the fuck uses jingoistic nowadays? :P
>>902 I had my suspicions, but I thought maybe you were just very slangy. I was trying to politely state that your imposter had very poor phrasing, while yours is mostly excellent. :D
>>907 I do not know a lot of things about politics but yasukuni = uyoku does not make any sense to me How do they ever come up with that idea? I know there are a person like Tojo, I don`t like him either, but there are also many soldiers who died during the War. They had no choice but to go to the war because they were told to protect their own country. They left their parents, siblings, wife, and children.
They thought and promised to see each other in the yasukuni, eventhough they pass away. Like in other countries, many of the citizens did not want to have a war. They wanted peace but those were so hard at that time. I believe many suffered with emotions, leaving their family alone. Also their family suffered as well Although, in Japanese tradition we visit our grave so often to calm the soul of the ancestors. I regard Yasukuni is the same thing That they fought for the country and family that they loved
Is it the wrong thing to do or wrong feelings b/c we lost the war? I do not like radicals like uyoku or any politics involving in this very sensitive matters I think criticising Yasukuni, sometimes makes me feel so sad because for those soldiers with no option, their only hope was keeping their souls in Yasukuni That`s what I think
I would like to hear other opinions about this matter because I do not know why so many people are so stuck to this problem
>>911 I know, as you see I`m not smart so I can`t decribe this in few sentences I really wish that I have a talent to do so Everyone call me annoying like you b/c my sentences are so long and in some other thread, they kick me out b/c of this. sigh
>>904 Thanks for that encouraging comment. Learning English is not easy. For me it doesnt spark off the same emotions as my native tongue, but it has other deep emotions.I am learning something new everyday just like the people on this thread.
>>Please stop saying you are not smart. Modesty is one thing, reality is another. You have very abstract, deep thinking ability and are able express yourself well, so dont say such negative things about your brain.
>>916 I think Japanese language is developed under quite peaceful background compare to other countries. In our history, we did not experience the attack from other ethnic groups so often. Tokunaga reign lasted for some hundred years By the way, the only external attack that is in the record before ww was Genghis Khan but their attempt to conquor Japan was interrupted by taphoon, 3 times
On the other hand, other countries history is filled with conquor and attack from other ethnic groups. They had their own way to build up grammer, I guess. Many foreigners are so confused b/c Japanese usually say no clear Yes/No but in the history like this, we`re more focus in our internal matter and for that, it would be better not to express our feelings than to say it out loud to avoid the unnecessary conflict
Although, these days it`s quite different We used to have, " you know what" thing that runs through the air and need no explanation However, today, they are some people with no common sense So these days we rely more on law like other foreign countries do There are good and bad part in this matter
>>921>>924 You look so idiotic with that stolen handle. If it compensates for your lack of confidence in real life to impersonate others, I feel sorry for you. Enjoy your lowly ego ride, AND STOP SWEARING AT WOMEN YOU UGLY LOW LIFE FORM. .
>>918 English's history is basically one of the peasants' language assimilating words from whomever happened to own the British isles that week. Church services were all done in Latin, for instance.
Most of the early kings of England couldn't speak English. Richard the Lionheart was French, and couldn't speak a word, for instance.
I do find a comparitive history between the Japanese and English languages interesting, as they're about the same age IIRC.
There is some slightly different shadow of meaning in Japanese language depending on where you live. I don`t totally understand what people in Kyoto is really saying because they are so sophisticated and very mean in other ways People do understand what they are saying but the meaning differs in the region, where you live. I think Tokyo is the easiest but when I visit there I really feel their words are really too straight having no cushion in between
But I don`t know nothing about Tokyo so if there is correction, pls let me know I feel so comfortable when I`m in my hometown and speaking in my own dialect People who lives in Tokyo, they sometimes tease other dialect My sister talk with no dialect there but it seems so weird but when we are together we all talk in our own dialect. It was really funny when my nephew talk in a dialect, he was pretty cute lol
In my hometown, usage of men and women dialect differs Nowadays, there are a lot of people from other areas living in this city but most people I know, they usually speak in familiar dialect I do not understand why the tv anchor on local tv show, they hire people from outside They can`t even pronouce the dialect correctly and it really irritates me when they say them wrong. The radio is more close to local feelings with a right dialect
>>935 "I am the kamegirl!!!!!!!! " "Your thread is here!!!!!!!!! "
You are astoundingly stupid. Forgetting your own lie mid way through the same message is just impressive. They should frame that comment, stick it up in the Louvre under a sign that says "stupid".
>>887 The uncle loves them. It's just that he had to be really harsh and accusatory on them on camera. Otherwise, the uncle and his family can't live in American society from then on, can't be accepted by American, not that I'm saying the uncles family has been accepted by American society.
>>936 Whatever medication he is taking, his wiring is completely messed up. He really doesn't seem to mind making a right idiot out of himself. I am hoping he is not the same guy who makes this thread because I would be saddened by that image.
>>946 I totally disagree with you. They are all friendly and considerate people, KameGirl is a bit emotional, though. lol So your distorted mind makes you think so. period.
I think that is even more true with white guys actually... japanese girls will spread their legs for any guy, as long as he's white. Doesn't matter if they are complete assholes (which they usually are). These kind of people wouldn't get any attention in their homecountry, yet japanese people happily invite them to their bedroom, just because they are white... it's so pathetic. Anonymous
oh yes, i see that a lot! especially last time when i went to roppongi. super pretty girls clinging on to the suspicious foreign club catcher guys outside that aren’t even attractive…
No and no, I am not Japanese. How could I be, I am confrontational, direct, arrogant, emotional blah blah.
I mean this gender segregating thread maker right wing guy has a tiny list of things to throw at gaijins:
Don't interfere with Japan whaling industry ! (I have nothing to do with it and never seen a whale) You ******* Koreans! (the nearest I got to anything Korean was Kimchi at the shop) You are after our women in giRopon! (I am a woman and never been to Tokyo) You.. you are a colonialist! ( got nothing to do with Brits except I live in Britland, nothing to do with colons either) You ******* American, French, Italian, fill in the_______, ( He tries every other nation he knows of) You ****,*****, ****** ***, **** *** etc
ad nauseam.
The same pattern over and over again. Maybe he has a tight fitting cap on his head that prevents circulation. Maybe it is his medication. Maybe he is born that way.
Then there is Gangsta 101. He thinks he has superior logic whereas all he does is wear tight fitting leather and crack his whip at every unsuspecting posterby to recognise his genius in Logic101 and boss them around. He goes to extremes to show how important and absolute his nonexistant "rules" are in his imaginary cyber S&M torture chamber.
>>951 I know what you mean by that. If I asked an elephant how come his trunk is so long, he might say like this; " No way! my nose is normal. yours is very short!" But if other animals took sides with me and said to the elephant," your trunk is very long", he would have to admit that. So why not ask eveyone in this thread?
>>957 It's funny that you assume all anonymous posts were written by men. That's not the case at all. In fact, there is no evidence that women did not write these posts.
I guess KameGirl is an agent employed by the South Korean government. As you know, South korea is promoting K-pop to earn foreign currency. However, Johnny's jimusho has a huge amount of influence over the entertainment industry in Japan. In other words, Johnny's stars are a real nuisance to them. That's the reason why she is here to ruin kamenashi's reputation.
It is really funny in the anonymous threads I have read many of stories I never heard of and it was quite amazing filled with thoughts I`d never imagined. It feels like I`m traveling around the world These threads are like Ganges in India. Take the rough with the smooth I don`t like making decision these days. I don`t know why but I think I`m really a small human being and it really makes me feel afraid Although, I do have strong like and dislike
The gender seg thread guy is not only an idiot he is an obsessive compulsive. He repeats himself, what he reads does not register and has constant brain diarrhoea. What an utterly ugly vulgar dork.
>>964 now that is an imaginative change from the usual accusations you target gaijins with. Ruin Kamenashi's reputation? I have been an advertising board for Kamenashi for years. Brits who never met a Japanese person, are now fully aware of him thanks to me. Good imagination, PASS, Realistic story, FAIL,
Of course you are jealous because he is too beautiful in every way His hard work carried him overseas and now he is an internationally known actor. You hate him not because he is ikemen, because he is working very hard for his country unlike you.
>>981 I pointed out that you are breaking a clearly stated rule here by responding to trolls, and you call me a "attention seeking control freak."
You accused me of making up rules where these rules have been in place over a decade.
Seriously, you are not making any sense at all. I honestly don't care if you "feed" me or not. I am simply asking you to stop exacerbating the situation by responding to trolls.
>>983 Well, you at least owe me an apology for falsely accusing me of making up rules. My stance is not "autocratic" because I did not come up with them myself. I know you are not fluent in Japanese, but that's not a good excuse for breaking long-standing written rules here.
However, I may be completely wrong in treating you as a reasonably intelligent person and assuming that I could appeal to your reason. With the kind of offensive language you have been using against me, you may be no different fron those racist trolls and I may have to treat you as such.
