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!

Here is a follow-up for the bombing in Boston. Fascinating...
> It was a blow the immigrant boxer could not withstand: after > capturing his second consecutive title as the Golden Gloves > heavyweight champion of New England in 2010, Tamerlan Anzorovich > Tsarnaev, 23, was barred from the national Tournament of Champions > because he was not a United States citizen.
>>11 It's a shame he's dead, it would've been interesting to find out what his self-stated motivations were instead of just us guessing at them. Perhaps his younger brother will shed light on the situation.
As a new thread started, I have to remind you guys of something. This thread, and 2ch for that matter, is a cesspool and all posters are sort of losers (including me). You (including me) are all poos. The difference is that whether you're human's poo or dogs' poo or horses' poo. Humans poo might be higher on hiarachey (spelling?) but it's still poo and dogs's human's and horses are equally smelly. So stop arguing about nonsense.
>>14 Speak for yourself low life form. Some are ordinary netizens who drop by after a long day at work, to learn about modern Japanese culture and traditions communicating through English. For me this is a gossip and information site .We are not like you.
>>18 I think humans are very good at seeing patterns that may not be there. The "Waco anniversary attack" seems nothing more than a factory not following the OSHA standards; it was an accident waiting to happen, until I see more proof that it was more than that, that's how I'll treat it.
From Wiki Sheeple (a portmanteau of "sheep" and "people") is a term in which people are likened to sheep, a herd animal. The term is used to describe those who voluntarily acquiesce to a suggestion without critical analysis or research. They undermine their own individuality and may willingly give up their rights.
>>19 >>21 More seriously, there's no proof of what you're saying. Show me some proof of what you are saying. "It's so obvious, wake up sheeple!" does not a proof make.
I did not say "It's so obvious, wake up sheeple!". You said it. I just put a definition. Homework for you. If you are curious, look up the facts on th e internet and question them while you do that. I hope next time yo do the same to every bit of news you hear.
So it is Gangsta101 who is the starter of these threads. Narukodo. Does it mean he is the same as the gender segragator thread guy? I sincerely hope not.
"Good looking Japanese man, (I) had a heart attack. But, I am not one who displays the femininity of Old Japan."
So now you guys get to nit pick my Japanese (translating skills) and get back at me for correcting you! Because what I think it says makes no sense to me.
They ASKED me to display my broken Japanese skills, knowing I do not speak the language. Then they crucified me. I am certain they must have had traumatic language learning experiences to act so VILE. What an ego trip they are having now.
I learned that hippos are such a kindhearted animal when I was watching TV yesterday. In Africa, there is a phenomenon that animals move to another place, crossing rivers to seek for their food. Pippos helped push other animals to the river bank when they were drowning.
>>48 oh... I was going to watch it but missed it. It was on NHK, right? The trailor of the show said that hippo is the strongest animal of all. Is that true? Stronger than an elephant?

I am here to learn Japanese things from you, not declarations of "low confidence" a nd "how that applies to eveyone". That is utter rubbish. Seriously, psyhcotherapy might help you. I think you should consider it.
55 :Master of ◆Logic///rFl7 :2013/04/30(火) 07:04:31.47
>>53 That's no good... I didn't know the younger brother was in such a bad shape physically. I really liked the NYT coverage of the bombing ( >>13 ) because it shows how fragile immigrant families and communities actually are in the United States. Makes me also wonder if the Japanese government should accept more immigrants.
>>55 The way I see you guys have either got to start having more children, or letting more people immigrate. :P
57 :Master of ◆Logic///rFl7 :2013/04/30(火) 10:26:57.56
>>56 I know, I know. I would like to have at least three children. Otherwise, I would feel guilty for not doing my part.
I just don't think Japanese society is ready to embrace permanent immigrants. It would be much more realistic for Japan to accept temporary migrant workers from foreign countries just like Singapore, but who knows...
>>57 Then of course there's worldwide overpopulation. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
I don't know enough about economics to say about migrant workers -- isn't that essentially extracting value out of Japan that's not paid back (in taxes, and in year round commerce) versus a citizen (whether born or 'imported')?
I took Japanese as an elective over economics in high school, so I'm not the guy to ask! :P
Yes, please try to feel, when I can only express myself in blocks of words, not knowing at all the rules of the language, but when I hear the words , I present it to you, because they resonates within me. Of course it sounds ridiculous to you native speakers, it isn't sophisticated because of the harshness, but feelings are living things so they will evolve as I learn more about Japan. I am a believer in imperfection, just like the tea master that Oribe Furuta met in the mountains in Hyouge no Mono.
>>67 Stephen Fry wrote something about this on his book on poetry, The Ode Less Travelled:
"Suppose you had never played the piano in your life. `Don't worry, just lift the lid and _express yourself_. Pour out your feelings.` We have all heard children do just that and we have all wanted to treat them with great violence as a result. Yet this is the only instruction we are ever likely to get in the art of writing poetry: Anything goes."
What do you mean? It depends where you live, what social class, what education level they have. There is too much of it around me. The worst offenders are the ones who have rigid thinking, They are against trying anything new, different.
You are going too far. Because children never know what is new,or different when they play the piano. They just play at ramdom, so thoughtful people never treat them with such violence. And this apply to the case when you learn a foreign language.
>>78 Totally understand! But fucking gaijins take it for granted that English is the global language so we have to speak.
They do not have any ideas how hard learning foreign languages is!
If we non native english speakers pronounce word weirdly or making small grammatical errors, they immediately say something like "learn the grammar" or whatever!
Hate them!
80 :Master of ◆Logic///rFl7 :2013/05/02(木) 23:16:18.09
>>58 I'm no expert in economics either, so no worries :) I would imagine that migrant workers create enough value for the company they work for. Letting more temporary immigrants work in Japan is a compromised solution for the rapidly diminishing labor force in Japan anyway.
>>79 When going to Spain, I met some foreigners who was studying Spanish. But,I was astonished that almost all of them speak English. This is the trigger to go to English school. So, I think there is no doubt English is the universal language
>>81 Of course they can lol because English is soooo similar to most European languages! They are so similar in terms of everything like grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, letters...and cultural background is also similar! It is said that it takes 3 times more for English speakers to learn japanese compared to European languages. This means its so hard for Japanese to learn English! But fucking ignorant English speakers don't know this fact and like to say " Japanese can't speak English~~" "they need to learn at Lear basic English~~~" which is very annoying!
Speaking of Spain, I remember some students from Spain did speak very good English when i was in English school in London! Now I'm feeling like going to Spain :D
>>76 I don't understand what you mean when you say I am going too far. As a child playing the piano was a luxury for me. Although I would listen to the radio and hear classical music,
I wouldn't know how the piano would feel if I could play. So seeing a piano and making sounds was brand new experience for me. I used to make my own instruments at home from strings, wires, aluminium boxes and make my relatives kids play it (I was the chef) Grandma would have gotten so angry at the ruckus we raised, I think she was right to be, poor grandma ( I feel sorry)
>>77 People around me think I am strange saying, "Oh she goes on and on about Japan", Though they are expats themselves, they think I am taking this Japan fetish a bit too far. I am a "double alien" for them. I don't know how they would react, if I had a Japanese boyfriend.
>>79 I know the feeling. Most nit pickers are usually non-English Brits, although there are snobby English types who think their language is God's gift to humanity and jealously defend the "correct way" of speaking the language.
>>82 Don't internalise it, just keep on using the language, without thinking of these mean and harmful comments from others. If you beleive in those offensive words your learning would be stalled. Just let them go through you.
>>79 Yet there are Japanese in the thread doing the same thing to KameGirl.
>If we non native english speakers pronounce word weirdly
There's a difference between 'has an accent' and 'almost entirely unintelligible'. Without hearing you speak I couldn't say which you fall into.
>or making small grammatical errors,
Grammatical errors grate on the ears and immediately flag you as a non-native speaker. Again, it depends on the particular grammatical error as to how much or little.
Speaking personally, I'm trying to learn Japanese. I realise that I'm never going to sound entirely native, but I never want to get to a point where I'm not trying to head in that direction, and as one gets better at a language, the improvements become more nitpicky. Take it as a complement!
This is it. Native english speakers are conditioned that way, about the rules of their language. Brits are heavily conditioned, to the point that they make fun of regional dialects, and nit pick on each other's vocabulary and pronunciation ad nauseam.
>>88 Actually the people who attack my non existant Japanese are doing so because they cannot do that to Igirusu-jin. They think I am a a weak little girl who would succumb to pressure. they are trying to make up for the lost confidence by hurting other non-natives to get their bottled frustration out.
As far as I'm concerned, I was glad when I heard that KameGirl is studying Japanese and wanted her to show us the outcome of her effort. We would be isolated from the international community,if there were no Gaijins who tried to understand Japan or things Japanese.
96 :Master of ◆Logic///rFl7 :2013/05/03(金) 09:00:33.45
>>89 You definitely have a good point. The only difference, however, is that we wouldn't quickly point out such a mistake in real-life situations because that is not a normative behavior. (The opposite is true in this thread, but that is expected.) My American friends make tons of mistakes when they speak Japanese, but I usually don't say anything.
My impression is that, while our expectations for the foreigner's ability to communicate in Japanese are quite low, native speakers of English seem to assume a direct correlation between one's command of English and her or his level of intelligence, and that kind of judgment is quite frustrating for those who were born and raised in Japan. Just my two cents.
It is true that I was studying Japanese bu now I don't have the time to do so. However I am seriously thinking of living in Japan for a while, if I find a job there. I have some friends and connections, and a man I have never met, who is interested in me. I get sent a lot of wagashi from Japan, I don't buy it at the Korean store. Only nattou and somen. I buy miso from the Japan Centre.
I don't like pointing out mistakes, I think it is up to the learner to discover them. That way there is no humiliation. Unless new learners come to me and ask directly. I would never point them out. However I don't mind being corrected myself, if it is done in a dignified manner. If the natives rate your intelligence on how you speak, they are simply ignorant or plain snobbish. You should remind them that their Japanese is worse than your English.
Is there any American or New Yorker here? I'd like to ask for your opininion. In the video below, rags-to-riches man in app business gives a ride from a high school for a girl. According to him, she lives in a poor neighborhood but in the video, the school looks clean and other cars in the video are VW and Lexus and such and to me, it doesn't look like a school in a poor neighborhood at all. Is this a kind of scam to raise money? What do you think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8hAhUV7gBQ
Thanks for your concern. I was able to locate him in a professional network and know who he is. We are both in similar fields. I am cautious of course but extremely curious as to what will happen. That link is for a teenage situation I think. somehow I felt sorry for the stalker, It was clear he wanted sex. The girl is clearly a scavenger, expecting a free meal. That is so wrong. She even let him take her to enclosed venues. She is creepier than the boy.
I did it at last! I had been banned to post in this thread for about a month. I have no idea why I was kicked out. I'm just an ordinary innocent old boy.
I do not know about men but here in Japan, some guys have to deal with unnecessary stress in employment. I am so happy to be a woman Some guys go to really good college but somehow they fail to enter company, which is known nation wide. In other countries, like US, they get more chance to get employed if they`re skilled but in Japan, once people are hired, they`ll unlikely to get fired. That means that some people lose their chance completely
I`m a woman so I never had that kind of worries in my life and I was really suprised to hear that there are some who never recover from those pain of failure To me, it is no big deal as long as I can do some work I am interested in but my parents are really something and they just forced me to work in the office Maybe I had some skill from working there but my 20s was all about suffering from identity lost, do to some work I never liked
So my ex-boyfriend was kinda some pain killer to my miserable life I worked for our future and that was the only reason I worked We broke-up. I came back to where I am today and beginning to work again but I never liked my work at all. Several years later, I wanted to get married and I married my former ex-husband and finally free from the work! Although, there was 365 days of labor. Dat was something I never had imagined
So I`m totally free now and so happy to be alone again! I don`t get to work 365 days and I can sleep as long as I want to And I found this great job! I get some money, eventhough it`s a low wage, it is still satisfying. I`m so and so glad that I was a woman instead guys I don`t have such a pride. My life is all about not having sex and abortion, that might hurt me completely. That`s the only thing I need to worry `bout
But as you see these guys, who failed, are better than my ex-boyfriend He was nice but he told me once that he can raise money by gambling OMG, he was just so serious and I was like totally blasted lol Dat was something... I`m not that smart but I even know gambling is just about spending money I still can recall his face when he said that. He looked so weird, like his face was so brightened. It was seriously so frightening It gave me couple years to figure out that there are people who are addicted to gambling. I never had those type of relatives around me so it took time to figure it out Poor him but I do not want to get involved with those type of people no more It gave me really good lesson in my life
Did you know that gambling is something that DNA related? I never liked gambling somehow No one in my family does gambling. Actually, dad does it sometimes but he is more into sports. None of our family members have that addiction No wonder why I have not figure it out quickly or even took time to figure it out The gambling is totally a brain damage and a disease
I am a woman and I am very concerned about my career. Right now relationships are in deep freeze. I need to get paid first. Last night I pulled a 15 hour day, and I am NOT equally paid for my work. THAT IS SO WRONG.
>>133 You know what... I totally don`t care about being paid equally I hate to get involved with competition with guys I believe they are way to nasty than women That`s the only thing I tried to avoid all of my career Men say that women have more jealousy but I don`t think so When it comes to job, they are way too nasty than women So women with career are being sandwich by men and women I have seen that and I really hate those kind of troubles so it would be so better to stay away
>>139 many gigolo here... I do not know why many jukujo like younger guys I don`t like elderly either but 11 yrs is so far apart and there`s exactly nothing in common What is so fun to be with them anyways I always dated someone with my own age because we got so many things in common and really fun to talk with. Some says that girls very young who goes out with older guys, they will be much more better but I doubt that I only believe in time and the moment. Those old guys, I think they just miss their youth Although we split up, we share the moment together and it is really priceless
I believe that there is a period in your life, where you only can share many of the youthful feelings only with those people with same age We can both be very clumsy but when you get old, you feel so much love about the time we had together. Being too clever, maybe makes you much easier to live, but I am so proud of myself that I wasn`t clever somehow
>>141 Well, I dunno... I thoroughly enjoyed the relationship with my ex because we had so much in common. The only reason I didn't marry her was that I wanted to start a family and she was a tad too old for that. It was unfortunate, but there was nothing we could do to save the otherwise perfect relationship.
Whale meat is very dalicious. Two Atomic bombs and many air raids are massacres of unarmed civilians. American think Japan was evil because of Nanking and invasion and that the atomic bombs and ari raids are justice.
However Nanking is a fiction history. Invasion? American don't know at that time asian regions were being colonized by Western powers, do you? American don't know there were many regions colonized by them after world war 2, do you? American don't know Britain tried to re-occupy India France tried to re-occupy Vietnam Holland tried to re-occupy Indonesia "AFTER WORLD WAR 2", do you?
Today's instability of Far East Asia is the result of the U.S. Japan before WW2 was not communism but democracy. The U.S. got a wrong enemy. Of course they wanted to prevent that Japan became the large country from racial discrimination.
>>143 That`s bitter but I think she is so smart I do not know why but many women say that they would like to go out with younger guys and it is not something that is understandable to me, at least Because if woman is in age of 50, this guy is like in his 40s It will be very cruel situation for women b/c no one can acutally stop from getting old The old woman with jealousy could be really ugly and exactly NO women would want to suffer that kind of emotions
Did you know that older guys seem to have more jealousy toward his young wife? I`ve seen couple girls going out with very older guys and they all keep on saying how much control-freak they are. It is so frightening when I hear those things But I think they themselves are also so aware of their age and very unstable inside when he looks at his young wife. Everytime I avoided the situation where I feel some strong attachment, since I broke up with my first ex. The attachment really hurt your feelings and also no good for the partner at all. I just let everything flow and never cling on to it It still does hurt my feeling but I think this way, there will be less mess and not too much damage to the relationship that we had
Everything will return to the place where it used to be and I do not want to distort the fact because the fact has really harsh parts but I also see the good part that he had and we both shared The spice is really natural thing, so gifted that you can`t mix with something artificial Or it is just gonna change it`s taste
There are moment in life where you just need to cry all day and it`s the only thing that you can do. But you see rainbow again just like you had seen reincarnation If I live up to age of 50, and where I end and retire from all those kind of relationship, I know that I will have exactly no regret. There is nothing I can bring with me when I pass away but I believe the memories will be with me forever with every kind a senses which I enjoyed fully
Yes, they are fried. Acrylamide is a cause of cancer. It is made by heating carbohydrate at a high temperature. Potato chips and French fres are very dangerous. Potato salad is Ok because it is boiled.
what about coffee which I made a day before? I heard my ex telling me that I shouldn`t drink them because coffee that is left for a day can cause a cancer I felt that is very rediculous but is it true?
They are brainwashed! They are totally under the illusion that they should lead the world because the US is a God country or something which is so annoying and also pushing their values and cultures to other countries is also uzai If other countries don't follow fucking American ways, they immediately try to wage wars on these countries!!! Look at the Middle East! They are literally destroyed by the US!!!!! So sorry for these countries in the Middle East....
>>158 That's so true! They always conveniently overlook their history! Instead of interfering with other counties, they should learn the history first!
Well, if you learn more of the history, you`ll know that winner takes it all and winner rewrites the history. The same thing happened in internal history as well The unfavorable fact will be hidden and only the winner has a right to write anything he wants Just like husband and wife, when his wife is too strong compare to her husband, he got no words at all Like you see this a lot in Japan nowadays
My relative was beaten by his wife with a golf stick and she made no dinner, but only tofu was on top of the kitchen table everyday. After work, he went to grocery store to buy some sashimi, which was on sale. Then something pissed his wife and she called his mother that he bought sashimi for dinner So he had to explain to his mother that he is not eating any dinner. Although, he couldn`t divorce with her because his wife tells all the lies about him and he was afraid to lose his children
She also had an affair but she told others big lies that he was the one who`s having an affair Sure there are a lot of men with DV but also many DV from women as well It is clear today that these things come out from women as well but before it was so rare (maybe hidden like him) and men who were treated like this had no choice, even no divorce
Is that fashion show ur talking about? Im not the interested because I do not have much interest on clothings i don`t like flashy clothes. I wear something comfi all the time Dad told me to lose weight and wear something better When I was in my teen, I only wear jeans and sweater in my 20s, I began to wear some dress and skirts Now I`m wearing some one-piece like what maternity wears lol
Gaijins always complain about pizza, too. Japanese pizza is not pizza but there are some normal pizzas on the menu of every piza shop. Gaijins can't recognize the menu, apparently.
>>169 but in the US, they had this crust and you dip in the meat sauce that was so delicious but I can not find it here in Japan They have many pizza stores and restaurants and every store have different taste Also I feel dough is little thin here in Japan
Italian food was so delicious there and soup and bread were all served free
And you know there are many Chinese restaurant and you can take them home they got so many menu there. Every Chinese restaurant had different taste
There is no Taco Bell in Japan so I make myself on my own I love Wendy`s Taco Salad Also Subway had meatball and they were really delicious and I find no meatball here in Japan
I miss spanish dip they had in a grocery store. I still don`t know how they make them. I used to dip potato chips in a sour cream that was soooo good
>>174 No I'm not a fucking Pokemon. I am a fucking yellow monkey jap!
Are you satisfied, fucking racist gaijin in NZ?
I know i know I'm a disgusting yellow fucking monkey jap which needs to be dead with nuclear bomb like Hiroshima and Nagasaki like you whity did to us in the past!!!
I worked for the past 48 hours anon-stop now I cannot sleep! Please I came to learn about beautiful Japan and her traditions ... Please talk about sakura and falling in love, things that make your heart beat fast and such like. Life is REALLY short! If no one is in love with you, fall in love with someone! It's the same feeling.
>>148 gosh caregiver-san what the heck are you gonna do with the rest 40 years of your life then? Not love anyone? It's impossible. It's unstoppable. You just don't retire from relationships like that. It is not employment you are talking about!
Isn`t it really interesting to work in the love hotel? But it must be really humiliating to go to such a working place I can always observe the couples and that must be so fun!
I want to go to sleep but I can`t because I just ate I feel some headache today. I think I worked hard today Maybe I walked too much I woke up 5:30 in the morning I`m so exausted I slept around 11:30pm yesterday and I only had 6 hours of sleep and I usually sleep around 9-13 hours. I need at least 7 hours of sleep or I get this dizziness
Blame it on the supremely idiotic thread man who diverted the caregiver-san to another thread. He has the IQ of a single celled organism. He is the main culprit.
Bla bla bla The stupid preach has began as always! No wonder everyone has disappeared because no one wants to listen to the stupid preach from kame whore and the stupid relationship story from the middle-aged Obasan!
It is also funny to see some people like that though They keep on yelling but sometimes in real life, I see some of the guys murmuring in a loud voice, while I`m waiting for the signal to change in a pedestrian crossing. Also I sometimes see some guys yelling alone while he is riding bicycle I feel so sorry for those who are restricted b/c they`d lost a place to bark at someone
What kind of mental state, where people start to lose their control like that? It`s complete not a conversation at all. I`m like complete weirdo but sometimes I think maybe they are those who live their life normally? Also regard themselves normal at the same time Are words or conversation really that important? I mean, what makes them behave that way? The movie, "falling down" is pretty like that, I guess
>>212 No! I'm just practicing to speak English. But some kids think I'm practicing Karaoke. Anyway, I don't care people call me an idiot. I only care attaining proficiency in English.
shut up you nattou brain! If you cannot handle your non existent manners, just be silent!. Your primitive brain is made of cells that make nattou slimy. You think if I someone is not Korean then they must be British. You insult people who come to this thread to chat with you. You are scared of women and sex. Violent, stupid and impolite. That is the impression you give. Shame on you!
I thought I`m weird all the time but I was just a slight weirdo compare to those people who swears a lot Like watching some of the deep sea fishes, all over the threads Where have you guys been hiding?
Yes it was my posting! I forgot to put my handle name. So you jump to stupid conclusions instantly. And no i am NOT a native speaker. Told you millions of times already. call my English anything you like. I don't have an inferiority complex for languages I speak nor would allow your idiotic snobbery to get to me.
I am here to learn about Japanese culture and daily life.I might need to live in Japan for a while.So instead of wasting bandwidth say something beautiful.
I know nattou is so good There is something called, "neba neba salad" Nattou, okura, japanese yam, and some jews mallows mixed with dashi Nori is sprinkled on top and it is quite delicious It is also very healthy
I ate that in the restaurant, but that dashi was so splendid and I tried at home but I couldn`t make it the same at all I tried like 10 times but never close to what I had before
I also LOVE shiso (one of the leaves). It really goes well with chicken and vegetables. My grandma`s friend made shiso juice but it was really really delicious by the way That`s also very healthy. I`ve heard shiso is good for depression
I guess she is going to be an English teacher or something. Usually native English teachers here in japan are so losers who can't get a job in their countries. They do not have any experiences on teaching English before nor any qualifications! Just because they speak English they can easily get a job and get really good money!
I am a hi-tech researcher. I would only come to Japan to start a collaboration between UK and Japan. With your unwelcoming attitude, maybe I should do that with Koreans instead. Thanks for showing your real face.
This thread is not only for you and her but also for English learners, those interested in japanese culture and so forth. As a English learner, I want to improve my english through this thread. But she posts english with tons of grammatical errors and typos on purpose. This's why I don't want to read her posts as much as possible. And She is always bitching about her ex, relatives, and anything around her over and over and over again. I'm fed up with it. I want to read something that makes me grin.
Um, English teachers in Japan really don't make that much money even if they are native speakers. When I was teaching English in Japan, my American colleagues were making something like \250000 as full-time employees at a pretty famous private language school. I wouldn't envy them.
So here is a piece of advice for native speakers who are thinking about teaching English in Japan: DON'T DO THAT unless you are accepted by the JET program.
The pay is low, the hours are weird, and business ethics in the Western sense is nonexistent as these private language schools do everything they could possibly do to exploit their naive customers. They are quintessential examples of the collective Japanese capitalism, and I wouldn't touch them with a six-foot pole again
Japanese guys are so weird b/c they have like perfect grammer but they really hesistate to talk in English with foreigners I`m so oppisite. I love to talk with someone new but I hate grammer things, who really cares about those craps. That`s why I never got a degree for teaching an English Anyways, today there were some foreign customers and I had a chance to speak English with someone new. It was quite fun!
I do not know why but I don`t speak much in Japanese unless I know this person so well. With some foreigners I`m so talkative I really loved people from Hong Kong. They never speak English fluently but they were so positive and I really loved their attitude Same with Phillippino. They speak so fluently like me but they were so fun to talk with I`d been to tennis camp and stayed in dometry and spend many time with foreigners but that was really really fun
My sister did that part-time job once but she told me that a kid`s parents do not know how to educate their kids in English She thought that learning English is more different than other studies but those parents tend to make their kids learn English like how they`d learned English. I think that`s not a good approach either Why don`t they just let native English teacher handle things in the way they want to
English teacher is a good job if it`s just a part-time job but not good if ur employed full-time. I heard that full-time employers also have to do sale as well You`re not even kindergarden staff but you have to take care of children and it must be very stressful There is always employment on a teacher job I guess people are quitting so fast. I have seen many blogs about it I like my nephews but I don`t like watching over kids I don`t know much
>>254 Same with Phillippino. They speak so fluently like me
You are so conceited....are you really japanese? I think average japanese don't say something like that! Even if we are really confident of English, we font say like that! instead we say like "my English is not good" "I can't speak English" etc etc
>>248 What you said is true of not only her post but other English learners' posts. What I want to say here is this thread is not suitable for those who want to improve their English skills. However the fact also means we can feel free to bomb this thread with crap, so it may contribute to improving your writing skills but that's all. If you intend to get some grammatial rules in this thread, throw away the intention right now or you get wrong ideas. Unless you already understand basic grammartical rules of English, this thread does harm to you.
don`t you get headache sometimes being so tighty? I do not know your sex but I`ve seen a girl like you and she was making her life so difficult She was a natural born sister-in-law
I am Japanese but mixed. My ancestor is from Europe I also had a chance to live in other countries So I only stayed in Japan for several years and spend most of my time outside Japan According to my palmistry, I have very clear line of overseas They told me it`s a quite unique palm lines
There are so many romantic stories. You guys better talk with your elderly and there might be some stories you`ll never going to believe b/c it`s really so romantic
>>248 Why don't you pay comedians to do that for you? Look at the thread intro, nowehere does it say we have to say something to make you "grin". For fairness' sake, if you are the threadmaker, define the rules properly so that people abide by them. Don't make up rules arbitrarily to fit your ever changing mood. It is really stupid to expect people to read your mind.
I am out of work, but I am reluctant to work hard. Hence I have no choice but to evade working hard. For the life of me, I am in a state of melancholy. I am almost the defeated remnant.
>>289 You don't know how to treat people in such a state. You just said taboo. You should know there are many types of people in this world. They are neither always nor necessarily like you.
Ok I agree everyone is different however if your eyes can see, if your fingers can type, if your brain can form coherent sentences you are more than equipped to deal with life. If you have lost the will to do anything just stop eating and let your instincts take over . You will then need to do something about your life. If you keep on eating the food someone pputin front of you, you are a mere parasite. Even if your pay is little, bread earned with your own sweat and toil will taste really good. What is more you will build self confidence.
You are utterly ignorant of the psychological problem... At least you should know what you're saying can be really harsh to such people. I can understand what you want to say but please take a sec to think of the people you're going to talk to especially when you talk to people in such a state.
I am sorry for your "fragile" condition. Why are you here? This place are full of violent idiots, why are you making yourself a target? Why don't you get help? Why don't you do something?
What am I living for? I was born, since I cannot die unless I kill myself, I will continue living. You don't have to have a reason to live, you just exist. If life is a bad joke, just wait your death, or bring it closer. Ask that to a 350 million year old fossil. These animals were just hanging around until a mudslide covered and fossilized them. There are no whys. There are no reasons. It just happens. Do you think it had to ask itself"Oh hang on. I don't know why I live. I don't wanna move. someone bring my food??" Just at that moment, the mud slides and its dark.. It is the same with human life.
This world will not stop for you or your problems. It is you who has to make decisions. self pity will not get you anywhere. Either learn to live a life properly or head for the nearest exit.
You are making me supremely annoyed. A lot of really handicapped people do better than you do, I know a lot of blind people who try to get through life. With the privileges you have, millions would kill to be in your place. Why don't you donate your organs to research and leave?
I'm glad to hear I made you go crazy. In fact, you're becoming insane. You said You couldn't die unless you killed yourself. Can you prove it by taking a video the very moment you are hit by cars going at 200km/h? Anyway, You are no doubtly blind in negative or black sides of this world.
You're one of such people who believe donated organs are always used in meaningful ways. Before you said that, why don't you register with such organizations to donate your organs in the future? Or you want to say you don't need to do so? If so, why?
Don't worry I won't go crazy like you. I am not a hopeless case like you. I don't believe in organ donation at all. I am just telling him to give up on his organs and leave if he cannot relate. He should be thankful I am saying this. No one should baby him, and feed his lazy attitude.
I have no sympathy for people who are lazy and can't be bothered and beg for sympathy all the time. I don't have an easy life, a lot of people don't. There is a lot of severely disabled people out there doing their best despite all odds. So when I see these lazy parasite whiners I just wish them death. They are a waste of earth's resources.
Well, you sound to me that you care about those who have physical handicaps but mental handicaps. I'm not saying about >>286 much less he has mental handicaps but in general.
You are a bad girl. How dare recommend something you don't believe in at all to others?
WTF country can imbue or bring such thoughs into you? Those are obviously not of Great Britain. Where did you grow up?
P.S. Are you doing something good for Earth itself of its resources?
>>302 This isn't the S&M thread. >>300 It shows my nihilist approach to humans and existentialist approach to life. Meaning YOU DIE (for nothing) I LIVE (a life, without you) That is the art of living.
>>303 I suppose many people are expecting you're nothing but extremely S and there are many people in this thread who like such a girl like you.
Slash you can't evade from death. YOU MAY LIVE FOR A WHILE WITHOUT ME. BUT EVENTUALLY YOU DIE (for nothing or something, who knows). That's neither art of living nor something you can control at will.
What is death? You think it is scary? No, The hell we live on earth is scary. Pain, disease, disability, violence, hunger, loneliness,losing your loved ones. These are scary. With death none of these matter anymore.
If this world is hell, I rather want to escape from this hell even for a short time by seeing the dream of you filled with radiant smiles. Good night, girl.
>>305 You are contacting this thread for learnjng Japanese culture? Then, first of all, you should understand the M is the part core of Japanese culture. Average Japanese people like to call themself a LOSER. So you shoud'nt be serious about the saying of self declared mental disorder suffering persons. The reality is that they are rather winners as far as they can speak English.
As you know, you will have difficulties in Japan finding a English speaking person among the Japanese.
I won't smile in your dreams. Why should I ? My energy is not free.
Yes worked out that these are self declared mental cases, are no more than LAZY people. I will not call them losers because they win, by eating someone elses's hard earned money.
I was sure I was going to run into trouble unless I learnt Japanese. It is not the language hardship and isolation, it is the attitudes in this thread, learning about people's honne, I don't think I could cope with being deceived.
This thread taught me so much about what goes on in your head, I am suprised that the offline Japanese people I know are exceptionally nice people, and exceptionally kind-hearted. Now I will treasure them even more. I would rather associate the image of beautiful Japan with them.
Is money what you base your values on? I don't need money. I want you to invest in me as a human being. With your mind, heart and soul. Your attention. Your goodwill. Then I may appear and smile. But having learnt about me, it may be the opposite.
Do you have your labtop or keitai close to your son? Then you might need to think about it b/c it can damage your son and get him weak. Even having your keitai inside your pocket can harm your son
Ignore me if that is your honne, But if you want something from me(no matter how superficial). , learn to give something to me, (no matter how superficial).
Why do I need to survive 2ch. You are not my only source of information.
fucking man who loves young girls should know about the curse that middle aged women giving to you with this radioactive energy sending out from pc fuck man fuck man fuck man peace on earth!
I'm not sure what you want to say by those but let me guess, those would be... "I don't have to write something in Japanese occasionally." "If I do, I would get your compliments and criticism."
If you want to know what you want to say in Japanese, Please write down it in English, then I may translate it into Japanese so that you can get some idea about Japanese grammar.
Suddenly I cannot write down on my own obasan`s thread... It is my thread there and I cannot write anything down but this idiot is messing around with my thread
I believe he is so gay. It`s okay as long as he doesn`t mess with my value
>>330 To be honest, that's kind of hard to translate for me. The problem is "weed". if I translate weed into Japanese literally the translation becomes awkward. Could you paraphrase the verb with other verb if you don't mind?
that should have been NEED not weed , I am laughing so hard now. Recently I started watching no-subtitle dorama, I can understand the context but not the specifics. I notices quite an improvement in my understanding.
I studied little today. How can I be good with guessing? I want to get a certificate for the guide but I do not know much about politics and economy. I read the questions twice but I have no clue at all It means nothing to me. I love to get info on how to lower the tax b/c it is so related to my life but why would I ever need to care about those complicated things I have no interest at all...so eventhough I read the lines, it kinda blocks before entering my brain somehow It`s just giving me some headache and wrinkles
I think it is matter of a probability Im so weak with numbers...like big numbers... I can count something I know but I cannot count something I do not know at all I think those questions are made by men. Why don`t they make questions which are more life-based instead of those numbers that we don`t use at all Like what kind of tourists are asking us about those kind of questions? Billions or who has a right to ban the law or whatever Mom was really good at teaching us math. She explained us with oranges, apples, and peanuts. That was so easy to understand
Japan-Korea relations are getting worse. Korean Americans are making a effort to portray Japan in a bad light in the U.S. with a false story "Comfort Women." Some Korean Comfort Women Memorial Monuments have already be opened in the U.S. These memorials are a violation of the Japanese dignity and honor.
Korean say Comfort Women was an inhumane crime against women and that they are sexual slaves. They say the old Japanese army abducted 200.000 Korean women from Korean villages.
It was impossible to do so , because during the annexation of Korea by Japan, all the mayors of the village in Korea were Korean,and most of the police officers were Korean. Of course, there were some Korean malicious brokers who were recruiting women like kidnapping, but the crimes made news in Japan and the brokers were charged.
Comfort women only performed sexual serivce and had received the high salary. In those days, women from poor families were willing to take risks and face danger when money was at stake. The newspaper advertisements then said monthly pay is \300. On the other hand, a Japanese army sergeant was paid \30 a month!!! "Comfort Women" were not sex slaves. This was created by Kiyoharu Yoshida in 1970s and he acknowledges as it was his concoction.
The only evidence Korean now have are a few eyewitnesses. Yet any historican will tell you eyewitness testimony is very unreliable.They need other sources but nothing.
Think of that. There are about 50.000 women from South Korea working in the sex trade in Japan and 30.000 women in the U.S.
Moreover,the above link shows that South Korean is both a source and destination counrty for human trafficking. It is not surprising that Japanese hate Korean.
However some Americans won't believe Japanese were not evil. If Americans should think the below things right, I will hate Americans,too.
・The attack on Pearl Harbor was the 100% evil of Japan. ・It was necessary to drop the two atomic bombs to save a million American lives and to free the Asian countries. ・History should be written by winners. ・Tokyo trail was the court of justice, not victor's justice.
Americans need Japanese cruel crimes like Nanking ,731 and etc, otherwise they cannot affirm their cruel crimes against Japanese civilians by two atomic bombs and many air raids. If the United States are the Japanese really true ally and "TOMODACHI(友達,friend)", I want you to learn true history properly, please.
>>345 The fact of the matter is as the old adage goes, "War is hell." And no one came away smelling of roses; the British fire bombing of Dresden, atomic bombs, rape of Nanking, Russian treatment of their own soldiers, and so on. War makes monsters of us all.
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est Pro patria mori.
Some people really are into war but I really hate it It is best to avoid having war. I know sometimes we have no power to avoid the war but that kind of world is no place where human can live Even today, many women are raped and children are becoming solider, and many are dying. It is just so painful. Money and education are so important The education budget is always the first thing that every countries tries to cut but that is very stupid thing to do
In Africa, some children are holding guns instead of pencil They have no other life to choose since they are so young, especially when their govt is not stable at all Nowadays, even in Japan, some parent(s) do not have no idea to raise a child. Not having enough nutrition really give kids a big damage It is so awful to hear those things
Oshaka-sama and Jesus always mentioned about human ego and the importance of sharing with others It is easy to say but hard to do so Although, I think wars occur where people have nothing much to share but starving so much That`s when I think about the existance of God but the world without God is something colorless
>>351 Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori, sed dulcius pro patria vivere, et dulcissimum pro patria bibere. Ergo, bibamus pro salute patriae!
It is sweet and dignified to die for the homeland, but it is sweeter to live for the homeland, and the sweetest to drink for it. Therefore, let us drink to the health of the homeland!
>>352 I personally do not like that idea Some really talk about Kamikaze like heroes but I think that is way too painful If you look more carefully, I think they all did not want to die leaving their wife, children, and parents behind I really hate to hear those. My grand grand mother`s brothers all died in war. It is not funny at all
>>353 No I don't think so either. The poem I was quoting in 346, it's probably worth noting, was published posthumously. Wilfred Owen died in WW1.
`Dulce et Decorum Est` was a response to a female poet (Jessie Owens) who treated war like a game, and goaded men into going to the war by calling them cowards.
My grandparent's all fought/served in WW2, but none of them or their siblings died, thankfully. My grandfather on my mother's side was a gunner in a bomber that was shot down. I am so glad that we don't have to face the same fate.
We have all the pictures of our ancestors hanged on the wall and all men died. My great grandmother was the only one left They were only late teens and 20s. 4 of them all passed away It did not only happened in Japan but every countries, mothers lost their own children. It is a very cruel thing to happen
Peace is not free. It is difficult to maintain it.
If Koreans were to know the difficulty, they wouldn't be a liar. Of course, westerners don't have a right to blame Japan for about WW2, because the grounds for their criticism are almost based on fiction stories.
If someone regard these historical issues as insignificant things, they are abandoning the responsibility of maintaining peace.
>>354 Every mother wish to have their own children safe and alive None of the mother wish to have their own children pass away before them My grandmother`s brothers died so much during the war Some returned from Soviet Union, but after been forced to work so hard in such a bad condition, they have had turberculosis of the lungs At the end, the rumour spread that before the one pass out, they have to clug all the holes before the virus spreads to the other siblings
When the parents know that he is passing away in the isolated room, they have gone to his room and clugged his every holes with cottons Seeing their own child alive home and seeing him dead once again, it sure was a nightmare He was only 19 yrs old
My grandma saw a coffin arrived during night and she noticed that her brother is passing away Every morning she said "hi" to him before she had gone to school, but that morning, she saw him sitting in front of his room, breathing so bad with his very pale face. She said "hi" but he just keep breathing hard, and waved his hand just a little facing down
Another relative died with leukemia do to the A-bomb She was also in her teen Many tragedy with wars. I hate someone who easily say that we need the war. I think those are the one who tries to runaway when the war breaks out and hide in the secure place. I guess other people will just lose their lives Maintaining peace is such a effort but I think that really worth trying
I think so. I think all the people in the world tried to avoid the war but the poverty and strike of the great depression sometimes lead to the war Still today, many armed people are mostly from the family without money to pay tuitition
The worst thing about Japan during the war is that people of the top, they had no clue when to declare to stop the war Most sophisticated countries call the quit, when women and children are exposed. What happened in Okinawa was just a big tragedy Making teens involved in Kamikaze is not clever at all There was no tactic just making them kill for nothing Still I see some Japanese people, just having no clue of those important common sense and I really hate it
Japan was not endowed with resources and the U.S. had no interest in stopping the war. It was after the second world war 2 that westerners tried to reoccupy Asian countries. I think no one can stop that war.
>>367 I know. The industrialization in England was awful I had learned some social work area in those time and I have to say there was no human rights back then. I think human right act was occured just recently. It is something really new How we deal things today and the century ago was pretty different in every countries These thing were possible b/c we have money, food, and education Without those we have hard time maintaining the peace
The agriculture plays very important role for the stability in the every countries I was so suprised to hear that mostly Japan rely on imports I have seen many of the farmland which are dead without no certain plan for years and years It seems pretty rediculous Japanese people are so stuck to the land they have, the govt just have no plan at all but some funny regulations, and it is very fearful sometimes At least, don`t we have to work hard so that when something happens, we all have something to eat
>>369 you were banned I was banned a long time ago, some stupid person with same provider wrote something stupid and I was banned together Pls visit my thread again
Some people buy a land in the urban areas but I think it is very nice to invest in the country-side and have your own farmland. I do not know much about the agriculture but I heard if they stop using that land, the soil gets bad and it gets hard to grow once again
My grandmother was saying that before they were giving their own poops around the vegetables and the soil was filled with nutrition. Even during the war, they had something to eat I had been to her homeland, where she grew up, and she and my great uncle in law showed me many wild grasses that they were eating. It was pretty interesting
I don`t think TPP is that bad It is not that good either but to compete with other countries it seems like that we had no other choice We cannot always make 100% good choice. Instead of saying bad things about TPP, it will be much better to think how we can use TPP to make Japan much more wealthy If once decided, there is no way of turning back so there is nothing we can do about it
>>374 I think the point is diplomacy and govt It is easy to blame others but we sure can make a better choice if we have a plan. The problem with Japan is that it seems we always do not have no plan. To me, it always seems happy-go-lucky I don`t blame all of that type of attitude but I think having no plan is just so obsurd. I do know nothing about the govt, maybe they`re trying their best but I think they can improve much and much better than this
But have you seen the news today about the Yokohama`s kindergarden? The number of the children who are waiting to enter the kindergarden becomes 0! I think that was such a great effort made by the govt
In a thing like TPP, using word "selfish" is quite childish, I think I think US is really good at collecting data and info When I see American films and dramas, I am just so stunned with their stubborness towards collecting data Many of the foreigners rely on the data, I guess. Even if it is wrong or right
Have you heard about McDonald? They collect data so in details and exactly before opening their new shop I think tactic and plan just rules everything I`m very lazy type so I have got to learn those attitudes
>>380 We have done nothing about Agriculture in Japan in last couple decades The new plans were raised but with many regulations, it did not proceed at all Most foods are imported and there is no way we can make our living without foreign money... By reading the article that you posted, I also noticed and agreed with the problems of the US but did we really had a different choice?
Many talk about globalization and everyone believes that their land is their own. Although, I think we have forgotten such a important things A woman in Africa, really loved a Japanese word, "mottai-nai" but that words really moved people in Africa b/c they`d also starved to death
We got wealthy but it seems that we have also lost the main spirit about our homeland I was taught by elderly that if we lose that kind of feeling and appreciation, then there will be a big punishment someday. If we keep on land dried up like today and taking no good care, then it is the same thing that we are losing our land by our own hand Just like women, if you take no good care then she`ll never be with you again
>>386 Good morning! It is really sunny here Healthy foods and longevity is becoming the interest all the people around the world. Especially for the wealthy people. Japanese foods are really healthy and very trustworthy. Among the tourists, many wish to enjoy Japanese foods while they`re visiting Japan. Although, agriculture population is decreasing do to the land restriction and so on
Isn`t it possible to compete in the world with agriculture? Although, this land thing is such a long history and so complicated, also I think there are some power thing going on I believe there are something that should not be exposed to the competition, but as it said in newspaper before, regarding about TPP, I also believe the thing that cannot win over the competition will fade away eventually
It is probably same with me I have this oval but it`s just there without nothing, no use No baby, no kids, no competition, no nothing Just there lol Not exposed to competition, having nothing It is just okay b/c mine is just my problem but the agriculture plays a big role in every population inside the country, so I will have to say, they have got to do a little bit more better than what they are today
When it comes to agricultural issues, we must consider them more deliberately. In my opinion, there seems to be certain areas where we have to take protective measures. For example, rice fields have been indispensable features of the Japanese landscape since time immemorial. So they are, as it were, a symbol of our identity. Furthermore, I've heard that so-called " tanada" or terraced paddies serve as water reservoirs at the same time.
>>390 It is nice that we focus on agriculture much more than we used to be I have seen many deserted land w/o no crops Even if young people are interested in agriculture, I heard on news that the landowner change his/her decision so much that it is not stable at all Although the stability is very important in fertalizing in farmland The good soil do not grow within a day but takes a lot of times
So in conclusion, young people just lose the way to work in that field eventhough, they have some interest I really think that is so damned. The govt is saying that they are looking forward to have young people getting a stable job but I wish they work on these field asap. We know that we just can`t rely on cars and electricity devices We sure need something else other than that to have a stable country
Bali is the place which I love so much and I have seen tanada there It was so beautiful. Many tourists around the world were there As you see some comments, the foreign tourists do not enjoy Tokyo that much. Instead they love to go to country-side I really do not know how much foreign money will come in but I think it is worth of trying. I think it is much better than what we are today
Healthy foods and the good scenery Japan is such a beautiful place. I really love to go visit to the very country side. I am so suprise to see some gaijin san are all over those places whenever I go to those places. Actually, some tourists somehow find those places but we`re not good at marketing
I am from the country where 731 aggressed .As a student,in my opinion,we should face to this history reasoningly,but we shouldn`t bias against each other,should we?
Gaijins drink Earl Grey tea while having a meal? I can't eat without water, barley tea or Hojicha. But I don't like it when jasmine tea is served at Chinese restaurants. That smells too strong for me.
Im not saying all chinese people are like this but images i have about chinese people are... arrogant conceited selfish aggressive shameless hegemonists who are brainwashed by the Chinese communist party.... Sorry...
As far as I am concerned,as a Chinese student,I don't think how bad our party is.I admit that we are poor in many aspects,but most of us feel happy.At least I think so.
Because China used to be very poor in the past! So now people who experienced the hardships at that time feel like "its so much better compared with the past" right? Chinese people often claim they are still poor but I highly doubt that!
Basically i think so. But I don't have this stereotypical image that china is a poor country at all. I somehow have these images like they go to foreign countries to buy so many expensive stuffs like buying branded clothes or buying up all baby milk powder s in Hong Kong, causing big arguments with hong konger lol Okay so sleepy I go to bed bye!
>>408 I am not an otaku, what are you ewing for, I don't get it. You are such a baka. It is drama for goodness' sake. Anyone who watches otaku films aren't otaku. Grow up!
Today the weather has been absolutely VILE. Horrible wind, hail, sleet, snow, rain, and less than 5 degrees. Never in my life I have seen such disgusting weather and I lived in really, reaaly cold places in America and Europe. This is the pits!
Idiot nattou brain is so out of it, his cells are oozing out of his ears and he doesn't know what he is talking about. With the IQ of a 2 year old, look at that speech full of fake idiotic abusive gangsta talk, really it is so bloody lame.
there is bad news about korean again. korean's terrorism happened again yesterday . in osaka , korean choped two japanese and they have been in patien in a grave condition. the criminal asked victims like that " Are you japanese ?"and then he brought down his knife .
I am angry about not only those stupid bad korean and but also masmedia that never tell the news strongly . almost of them even reveal that the criminal is korean who live in osaka called "zainichi". they try to make us think the criminal is japanese .
Yeah that's so true! Japanese media always don't broadcast unfavourable news like murders by Koreans in japan... I simply don't understand why they cover up the bad news on Korea? This is japan not Korea right? This is so wrong! If I say something like this, people here immediately label me as "right wing nationalist" "lunatic fringe" or something. wtf
I don't know whether it is ture or not, but I've heard quite a few top postions of mass media have been already taken over by them. So it cann't be helped. Moreover, people working in the feilds are so coward that they fear protests from Korean lobbying groups such as souren or mindan.
Oh, Finally 2chan's access denial is over ang now I can post....
I've never imagined there's anyone who's more talented and cooker than Noriaki and Cool TAKU, but there's this guy who is more shocking and he blowed my mind and I laughed to almost death.
Speaking of oshiri, Oka Hachiro's gag was the best for me. It goes as follows; First, he bends his upper body in front and poses as if a mantis is fighting and shout, " Hey, you! You can attack me anytime if you catch me off guard." After that, he scratches his butt with his fingers and then smells them " Oh, it stinks ! Oh, it is terrible!"
The psychology is that "I feel so low I can write these". Can you ever write, let alone think about the things that everyone would appreciate. Like cherry blossoms, good food, sunlight, beautiful things around you. Is there no such hope?
Fuck gaijin! When will you realise you have been destroying this thread, you pest? Also I gotta say kamenashi is so kimoi like you hahahahahhahahahaha 亀梨きんもー☆
He has so mauch hatred that he doesn't see any problem stealing other people's name handle and swearing at himself. He is such an idiot while doing that.
Come on where is your Chinese student, did you teach him new genres of anime, did you kiss him then miss him? Why do you break into a rage? You must be about 16-17 years of age. I am laughin so hard now.
>>464 Cat's out of the bag... It's good to post in 2chan anonymously for a change instead of tweeting on my account with my own dentity. You know, sometimes it's hard to be a celebrity and you want to act like a ordinary citizen. And I have to admit I was jealous of hime because your handle name is KameGirl, not AkaGirl.... One pointer: "moshi moshi" is a term used only when you answer the phone ... See you on Twitter. Love, Jin
>>466 I told you >>460 is not me, how many times will I explain. Please read >>461. Someone stole my handle name, check out the ID please. I would, never , ever use such ugly , discriminatory, cowardly vulgar words towards other nations. Especially not towards the people of my favourite foreign country. That is truly sickening behaviour. Who ever wrote that is such a low life form. A waste of earth's resources.
>>468 Liar. You stopped tweeting like 350 million years ago. If you are the Real Akanishi, you wouldn't write here. Johnny-san's lawyers would get you in more debt. BTW I was a great Akanishi fan until you started upsetting Kamenashi and the band. Thank you, I know what moshi moshi means, I am pretending to hold a phone in hand, but that image didn't transmit to your head, it is an expression we use in the UK" Hello such an such , hello, are you there" in writing, meaning, is my message getting to you. Do Japanese people read everything literally?
I mean maybe I laughed so much that the beer evaporated off me. I mean my russian buddies will probably down buckets of vodka when they return home. I am not good at drinking.
>>474 You are talking nonsense. I am issued with a unique code, due to my overseas provider. It will post with that code automatically. The thief has no unique code. Use your brain please.
>>475 Yes I thought that was the case too.Even with my little knowledge of Japanese, watching drama. I have my suspicion that the offensive troll of this thread is from Singapore or America. I think I know who he is.
I regret you didn't grasp my true intention. They say the more the wheat is treaded, the bigger and the strongger it grows up. So it was my encouragemnet to you.
>>488 The explain to me why and how that person did not have ID:scCaw1Vm! attached to their message at the time. And why was it on my all the time? Could anyone's machine have generated that unique stamp? No. Could I have gotten rid of it? No. So stop spewing utter nonsense. I know what a trip code is, I know it is useful, you don't have to explain a zillion of times and divert the fact that there is an identity thief here.
>>487 You have zero people skills. The way you said what you said before could have upset someone learning Japanese, Whetever you meant in Japanese does not necessarily translate to that in English. And heck, I would never allow someone to thread on my wheat, They would lose their legs on the spot.
Sorry. I was shut out from my own thread b/c I think I wrote down so many sentences in such a short time >>kameGirl you know what? I think I fear the abortion the most in my life I know it really piss some people but I do not know why but it is the very scariest thing in my life When I hear some stories about abortion and guys playing with girls, I get this huge fear and confusion. The Bible is something that gives me the feeling of security. There are some side-effects but I am definitely so scared since I was so young
I am sorry caregiver-san, I understand your situation but the very source of your fear is the Bible itself! How can you be so oblivious, I am truly shocked!
I mean you really need to allow yourself a reality check. To eliminate unnecessary fears and go on further in life, you need to get rid of clinging notions that were hammered into your brain. I feel very sorry for you but you must get a grip!
I had experience so many culture shocks but reading what probably men wrote down are something so shocking in my life. Some guys make girls pregnant, but they are saying that they are willing to marry with her or whatever I believe those girls are nothing that special but just too weak They are just ruining their life only with their instincts After they`d got pregnant, their mind suddenly change and start saying that she can not have a child nor they have no intention to divorce their own wife
Not only that but they are calling those women whore I was really stunned to read those sentences b/c those were so nasty I feel mad for women for her decision but I felt great anger toward men I was reading through this blog and this woman said that she never thought that she is getting pregnant b/c she had bad oval but she finally got pregnant with this man Although, he suddenly flipped what he was saying and send her money to have the abortion I thought she was stupid but I thought this man is so and so cruel I do not have these kind of experience in my life, but I always think it is not happening somewhere else but someplace so close to our lives that anyone can get involved in that situation. I really cried for those women
Marriage is not everything. I lived in Northern Europe and I have seen that a core family may be beneficial to child development, it is not the end of the world for single mothers. When government helps you, you can give birth, get education and contribute back to economy all your life, as a single mother. If Nordics have proved it, anyone with a bit of help can do it. That way you don't have to worry about where your man is, is he fertilising some other woman's egg blah blah.. It is a hell to live with insecurity, why do you make your life hell for yourself? I know in a hunderd years time, if we don't get wiped out from this planet, the notion of marriage will disappear and women will be treated as real individuals, not defined by their sperm donors.
Persistent middle aged whore! Your thread is here^^ just don't come back to this thread! You are so detrimental! Above all, no one cares your stupid story!
>>498 Maybe my life seems a bit miserable for some people but I feel so safe this way I really appreciate talking with you I have this deep fear toward men. Although, I never got pregnant and I do not have anyone asking me for the abortion but if I had that kind of experience, my life would had been more different than way it is today Goodnight
>>500 Also your are not welcome here you fucking retarded gaijin! Can you read? How many fucking times do I have to tell this you asshole? Ever since you've even around this thread, this thread has been destroyed because of YOU Fuck you and 亀梨
Having a child and how could some men can ever say to erase it But funny thing is that they are alive with their own penis that made women pregnant. I really feel so disgusted When I talk about this topic, even in this religion thread, some people attack me. But isn`t it something so important to discuss about? Are we only living with our instincts? I don`t deny them all but aren`t we human in the first place? We all are
Aw drop this self pity mode please! It is learnt-enforced behaviour! Self pity leaves no human pride, no human spirit, no sparkle. Think about it from this angle. Good night.
I>>>502 Look here stupid idiot: Can you stop swearing at women? Yes you can. Why do you hate women so much? Do you have erectile dysfunction? Do you have gynophobia? Do you have sexophobia? Are you a closet gay? If you can answer in a dignified manner I will believe you. If you start ABUSING thread users in that VULGAR manner, I am convinced you have the above problems. I would say: Go get help for your problem! You MUST understand and accept that you are an ABUSER. I will hammer it into your head until you understand.
We all feel pain and sadness. It`s all the same Having women pregnant and trying to get away from those issue is something which is so unbelievable to me Although, some men still have kids and their own life existing but what about this child and girls who they tortured so much? Aren`t they worth nothing to those guys? I feel great sadness
>>502 ABUSER idiot. What are you going to do ? You will go rape a celebrity? Go on I dare you! Fangirls will dedicate R rated gay fanfiction to you; Nattou brain x Celebrity of choice
It is kind of split in this world that I must not see The Bible keeps me away from those splits Sorry for being so negative but I can not lie about how I feel about things
Caregver -san you can go on forever about pain and suffering but it is a bit too extreme. You have been conditioned to suffer lik ethat with your Christian "prophet died for your sins "crap. You will live this hell if you don't shake off this religious virus from your brain. No one will and no one should help you. YOU need to help YOURSELF.
Much that I like care-giversan, I cant stand the notion that just because she is religious, the world should stop and behave the way she wants. I disapprove of religion, I am sorry to say that I am convinced religion a product of mental illness. It is up to the person to get real and heal from it.
>>512 ABUSER, I am not going ANYWHERE. What are you gonna do?Have my IP banned? I dare you. Remember your problems, do something about it and remmeber that YOU are an ABUSER.
There are two sports programs on Saturday night on two different channels at almost the same time flame. Kamenashi is one of the two programs and I always watch the other one, where Kamenashi doesn't make apperance. Because I can't keep watching Kamenashi being flattered just because he is in Johnney's agency. I just want to Sports results and analysis of each baseball games. I don't want see the Kamenashi project where he try to hit a homerun and such. No Johnney's boys are needed in sports programs.
>>523 Yeah lazy sods like you are always jealous of a poor uneducated underprivileged kid who worked day and night to get to the top. You never had to wear silly costumes like a clown, strip naked in front of crowds, hang 30 m above from Tokyo Dome doing acroobatics on a wire nor had to work without sleep day after day. In his 27 years of life he packed in more working hours than 60 year old. Of course you would switch channels so that you don't feel ashamed of your parasitic lazy lifestyle.
Nor you would understand his input to Japanese economy.Thousands of overseas fans tune in to watch Going! and in the breaks the watch his CMs too.He is a walking advertisement board for giants like Panasonic , Kirin at home and overseas. He is the youthful face of Japan culture and business overseas . He brings attention and money to Japan.
I mean I am talking about advertisement capacity and revenue and he drops in and says oh they are watching it in illegal sites! Do you care as long as it is the advertisement for Japanese products? What a skewed annoying weird thinking you have! You must hate your country. I really really think you are strange.
I never could pay because I don't have a Japanese credit card! I cannot read Japanese, I cannot fill in Japanese forms. My boss went to Japan this week but I couldn't have asked him to buy Kattun CDs for me could I!I am very bad at requesting favours.
You are running out of imagination and slang vocabulary. You are repeating yourself lik e abroken record. Have you measured it and compared it with yours. Is that why you are so deranged.
I've been using a chair without back support which is supposed to be good to keep good posture when using PC. Been using it since the beginning of 2013. Guess what happened? I've lost more than 3kg. Without the back support, I get very hungry, which is of course because you have to support your upper body only with your own muscle. I eat the same amount as before while I get more hungry than before, hence, losing weight.
I am tall so I cannot sit in that awkward position for long. Sitting down for long periods of time is wrong for humans anyway. gottta move move move!!!!!
>>548 I'm not an athletic type at all. I've been thinking about doing rock claiming or just going to gym because I don't do any exercise at all since graduation. There are so many bad points about being tall in japan like everything like chair desk is so small so I always end up doing a bad posture... I remember I seriously hated the school desk which is super small when I was in junior high school....
>>549 Then you'd mount on Kame and frantically shake your hip when you sleep with him.
>>550 Move to America. I guess Japanese condoms are too small for you. I'm tall, too but my penis is so small that it fits comfortablly in size "S". Although I have no chances to use a condom.
>>551 I don't like the states but I can do that temporarily! I would go to Cali or Washington... I think my penis is average for Japanese which means not so big lol so japanese condoms just do the job!
both size ,woman box and men peni are relevance. so,when white say our peni is bigger ,which means white ladys box are gabaman. i am just curious how many ppl saying such silly word realize that .
Seriously, size doesn't matter. You see a porn video where a man stick his index finger in a vagina and make her come. That means even the size of index finger is enough to make a woman come.
How hard it is more important than how big it is. Other than that, you should strengthen your back so that you can piston real hard.
I think I have a sexual frigidity. I can have sex but I feel nothing. I just want things over asap. It is almost coming but it doesn`t come. I suddenly get so calm and bored while guy is still moving and it really makes me feel so gross. The shape of a penis is also very yuck! It gives me a creep.
>>560 I'm just curious. You don't use condoms right? Because you are Christian I don't have any Christians friends which I will never have in the future because they are not trustworthy at all...
So you don't use condoms because fucking pope criticise it right?
By the way I'm just curious don't take this offensively ^^
>>568 I do not know where you got that idea but we use condoms when having sex The abortion is very very bad. Having sex before the marriage is not also good but as long as I see some Christians I know of, no one had the abortion Even if she becomes a single mother, the abortion is not the choice at all
It is like, having relationships before the marriage is sin The divorce is sin. But having affair and having divorce is so something The abortion is a murder and a crime
To some Christians, they would not probably understand the meaning of having family without a child. So using condom after the marriage, makes no sense, if he/she doesn`t have no child. Especially, if one of the partner really desire for a child. Maybe you meant to say about this? In the Bible, it clearly states, NO AFFAIR or NO ABORTION. These acts are really deep If the one really loves another partner, then he/she must pay for what he/she has to and start a new life. Although, I feel most of the affair just end-up miserable The mixture of affair and abortion...that is so hell
Ok abortion is bad for a woman's health, it is not a contraception method but, there are times when a pregnancy needs to be terminated if the woman's life is in danger. Plus, she may have been forcefully impregnated (incest,rape) and having a baby could make her life traumatic for the rest of her life. You are talking about rules but never about a woman's situations. Your rules are deaf and blind and indifferent to real life situations. People who are stuck with rules made by others will never understand human situation or sympathise. You have to think case by case, and resolve it accordingly.
Affair or abortion , people have had them since the beginning of time. Your religion is certainly not a human centred one. It is very much against women's happiness. I hope you would realise that.
>>573 I think having abortion when rape and incest is not that bad But do you really think abortion situation in Japan is mainly those? NO. People are having an affair, having no safe sex, guys are having no responsibility, and having sex so easily eventhough they are too young to have sex
I am so damn suprised when some people talk me about they`re having affair and those people seem like they have no guilt but FUN??? All I think about them is really really nasty but they have no clue about that I get so tired listening to them. Even woman in 60s, she told me about her affair when we were eating lunch together. Which was so unpleasant They talk like having abortion is just throwing away a garbage It is so different, compare to Christian countries
And you know what is so absurd? These guys who made girls pregnant, they been hangin out with other girls asap What a dumb ass. Killing a baby and having relationship with other is something to me
Caregiver-san. humans have these impulses generated by hormones. Some people are bad at supressing them. If there was not such a thing as marriage, there would be no affairs. Noone would get hurt by partners who have eyes on someone else. If human nature is by physiology, not a monogamous one, would it be fair on us to expect monogamy? This has NOTHING to do what your religious rules talk about, this is the REAL humanity we are talking about. Of course women would abort their pregnancy so unnaturally and casually, because their relationships are unnatural(marriage is a trap) and casual (affair is the escape route) . It is a reaction to a flawed economic system. You can never, ever explain reality with religious rules, nor they have any use in real life.
>>576 I had read so many blogs and books about those who had an abortion I was so suprised to hear that men said, " I will divorce with my own wife blah blah blah" then when this girl got pregnant, he changes his mind so quickly and tell them that he wants to be a good father so he can not have a child or whatsoever
Do you think that is accepatable in anyway? I think there are problem with girls who had affair with married ones but those lies are so so terrible!
and then these guys send money and have this girls abortion. Well, he is in a very very safe place compare to those girls who is actually having abortion
Without rules, many people get hurt. Some people do not like Christianity but it is way too better to have rules than not having any
No no no you confuse what is real and what are simply baseless dogmatic rules. What you are saying is an economy problem. I am talking about how resources are used, and distributed ~(family vs single woman), not only money. Plus, it is not a man's responsibility if a woman gets pregnant with consensual sex. It is the woman's responsibility, but the existing economy does not match a woman's needs to sustain that responsibility. Women get paid less and own less. Women's time is devalued in the labour force. If the girl had her own money who cared about what the man wanted?That is why your religion hates strong women. wants you to be subordinate to man. Strong women have everything, they can procreate and remove men from the equation. She would raise her child on her own if she wants. Religious rules could never solve socio-economical rules. They are for controlling the masses for the benefit of a few men. Please be realistic, humans are real, religions are not.
>>579 That`s true but it seems no fun either My dad wasn`t there with me when I was young but it was kind of sad I think a child better have both parents, if possible I was only raised with maternity and not much paternity My youngest sister had both so her personality is so different from me More balanced and stable I had studied some psychology on my own and it said that a child w/o fatherhood tend to be unstable and likely to have less confidence I think God made things so perfect. We both need both side to be stable, I guess Wouldn`t it be quite selfish to raise on your own? It might be cool but from my experience, I think it is not that good
>>581 That is true but do we really need that so much money to raise a child? Since I was so young, I was told that live with the reality and never look above b/c there is no limit to it. Too much luxury do no good to life Nowadays, it seems everyone is just starving for everything
I wasn`t even allowed to eat sushi until I become 16. My dad said it is too much expensive for kids so the parents were the only ones who could eat them Now we have 100yen/dish so it is quite different but when I was young, it was like that My dad told me don`t be like a whore
People having affair seems lecturing to those who doesn`t want to get involved in any of those matters. Even after they killed some babies, maybe it really did not hurt him at all They have nice way of calling their lovers, a whore They have many excuses for their act. The nature, instinct, and so on It clearly shows that most people without strict religion, they can do things whatever they want, as long as they don`t get caught After it`s been told so many times that women should not get involved with married men, still there are women who gives away so easily Knowing the existance of his wife and children
It is so unstoppable. People are talking to friends, colleagues about it Some people actually do not mind showing off to people around them, eventhough there are some people who are totally confused. B/C they believe in freedom? I suppose In the old days, people were thrown rocks, they comitted suicide together, and eventhough they live they were thrown into jail for the rest of their lives Now it is so easy and so cheap
It is really funny to read some says they love each other and use the word "love" so easily. Unlike what they had said, they easily betray the partner. Are there any meaning to their own words? Most irritating part is that they tried to contact others who are not like that, and try to use their disgusting words. I hope they will be thrown into hell sometimes I have nothing but so much of comtempt
It's Ok. We can learn together. I know he did not graduate from middle school. Perhaps with all the money he earned he could continue his education and become a perfect Japanese gentleman. His teacher seems to be Koizumi Kyoko-san, who is already surrounded by artists and intellectuals. I think he can stretch his horizons further than any JE talent, because I think he is supremely ambitious. I LOVE it when people work their way from zero to hero. I can see him doing his PhD in Arts and Humanities, if I saw him in my university library I would get a heart attack on the spot. Kame with glasses, surrounded by piles of books,,,,,,,,,
>>586 yes but CG-san you are completelyignoring the fact that religious people do exactly that over here, they cheat, they abort, they divorce, hire prostitutes, some are paedophiles, some go to Thailand and run wild, AND they go to church. Can you not see that religion and morality are not the same thing? Why do yo u deceive yourself with a completely skewed view of the world? Why can you not be honest to yourself? I really don't get it at all!
>>581 Of course they would! It would be more than welcome by all women! If we want a healthy child, both parents should bear the responsibility at home and share the money earning as well ! It would make a great team and bond the family.
>>594 That is so hell. Going to church like that is so awful Very disgusting
>>595 I was raised without father but that was really something Because almost all the other children had their own father showed up when we had events except me I didn`t have no one to run with me so I ran by myself My grandpa came but he was crippled so he couldn`t attend all the events Some kids made fun of me I think it is not that so rare today but still I think kids will feel so confused about it
But my dad came back once from foreign country and I saw him at the play field I remembered that I was so excited and felt a little shy He went back to his work asap and when I kicked the ball and I saw the fence and he was already gone
My childhood friends they always gone to play with dad on weekends but we had gone to grandparents house sometimes. That was pretty fun Although, they were working so I was always with my grand-aunt taking care of me My sisters were with my mom most of the times. I was yelled when I get near mom b/c she always had a fever whenever she returns to her home
It`s really nice to have both parents in the house especially when children are young Mom once claimed to me, when I was in college, that it is not normal to have dinner seperately all the times I thought that was normal so I was so suprised to hear that She said that she had never experienced family not having dinner together until she got married My sister is always having dinner with her family together I joined them but it was something so amazing I hope my nephews grow in a family with many love like that It was really nice
>>599 Maybe someday they`ll be like that but I think that is how everybody grows up. Like I didn`t have one until I was very old It`s not really good to see a very good son or daughter They seem very strange. I hope they are filled with love so they can rebel someday w/o no much worries
I love to read books but I really love Japanese literature When I was in middle and high school I used to love French, England, and Russian traditional literatures but somehow I started to read Japanese literatures. Also I used to love O Henry, John Steinbeck, Edgar Allan Poe, and Ernest Hemmingway I was so stuck to Shirakaba and some Japanese tanka. My first love was definitely Takuboku His poem was so so delicate and so so sensitive. I believe that there is just no one like him in the whole world. He passed away so fast, it was such a heartbreak when I read about that I loved Yumeji`s drawings too. My very dreamy and heartwarming teenage days...
The first book I read was "La Petite Fadette" by George Sand, the book my mom had b/c she used to be a student in French class in her college I cried so much in the climax. The author, George Sand was involved with Chopin Chopin was my favorite. I read that over and over again Every sentence which was written on book was so amazing. It was filled with so many philosophy about love. I had imagined Sand and Chopin having those kind of conversations It was totally heart striking right in the middle!
I really hate mom now but that was the most best thing she had done in my life Maybe it was a treasure. Then can you ever imagine how I felt when I first read Takuboku`s so heart stopping tanka? I cannot describe in a word. I had totally lost my word in a second All I did was, I turned the pages and saw his picture. And I was damn! Just as I imagined! I was like fainting! SO BREATHLESS
I really appreciate having this forum and being able to write (almost) anything I want here, and want to thank all those involved in the operation of this bulletin board.
My June schedule is so damn bad. I mean for some few weeks I have a lot of days off then in the end of June I got plenty of jobs filled in my schedule. It is getting so hot everyday and I really wonder how long I can walk home from work. It was the best exercise I had Maybe I should just go to pool nearby the working place
But there is a very good bakery nearby that pool and I know that I`m gonna go there and buy some and starting eating again That smell is just awfully too good for those having a diet Although, carrying a riceball is pretty dangerous during summer There is a fridge in my working place but a riceball does not taste good when it is cold. I really need to think about it
>>623 That's true! Some stupid assholes cant read and write kanji apparently like kamenashi (i wonder how he manages to live up to now) but most people in japan can write and read in japanese!
Hi! Maybe you guys hate to hear this but I`d watched NHK`s tv program about this Korean Professor talking about Korea Today I always think that it is also very important to learn from people who you don`t understand much. Because racism and hatred never resolves any problem Maybe some people cannot stand their opinions are always parallel but it is not always that bad. Sharing opinions are something which is very exciting
Whenever I have conversations with Koreans, I am always suprise b/c most of them are very direct with feelings. It seems that they are not really good with lies This professor asked this lady who has children, how she want to raise her own children After she had said so much things about educations and all those, this professor mentioned about importance of tolerance and waiting showing the example of experiment. I was very amazed There was a mashmallow in front of children and an adult tell them not to eat it and if one accomplish that, one will be served later on.
Those were experiment done in the US and with decades of search, they had figured out, those children who waited are more likely to succeed than those who weren`t. I tend to like kids who eats whatever he/she wants eventhough they are told not to but it made me think so much b/c I got my own nephews and so on. Then he added, most basic things, like respecting others and tolerating, most mothers say that they can do that when the children get in the society but he claimed that it is so wrong
The basic thing first then having education is something so important That every parents must do. He said rushing the children`s education is not that good. Taking time to raise children with decipline is something so and so important. I was like totally awakened to the truth! Guys, it is not easy thing to do. When my sister was getting angry with her own sons, I was like don`t say that much...but she was kept on saying for the decipline. Now I think she was right. That is sometimes the hardest thing to do
I think those were really good education for boys and suprisingly it was done by a man professor I have never seen a male professor really focus on education for raising a son. I have heard many of "how to raise a girl" but not much about a son. To me, it was very very interesting and so inspiring
In japan we can read and write but in English speaking countries, especially uneducated ones can't spell properly at all ! I remember this 21 year old Canadian girl who can't spell even really basic words which even japanese junior high school students can spell them. That was really shocking!
>>633 No, I'm not letting you vomit out your nationalistic bullshit w/ no checking. The plural of anecdotes is not data. Find a source that backs up your claims, or retract them.
according to this, japan is ranked relatively high so if what >>636 says is true, i bet other counties educational system are totally fucked up! including zew zea..something
ive been subscribing to her channel for a while and i often notice misspellings...A LOT her channel is funny though
>>638 Yeah, we are very strict about minor mistakes. Because of this, we can make high quality industrial products, which are virtually free from troubles. You'll find it even with the 100yen shop products.
Ironically enough, that kind of mind prevent us from progressing English skill. Don't pick me on my mistakes in writing English since I want to write freely without worrying about making mistakes:-P
I was in this class with bunch of students all around the world and noticed that Japanese students were the only ones who did not raise their hand to answer the questions. They hate to make mistakes in the public On the other hand, the foreign students, even from Asia, they have no fear making mistakes, not only that, they also answer to questions which they weren`t even asked to answer.
When I was working with people abroad, eventhough they make mistakes, they just ask us to correct them. Like we check for them b/c we know they are making some mistakes. Although, if we make mistakes, they try to collect the money sometimes. That is pretty hilarius. Although, Japan is known for the country which is nice to have a trade with b/c of our honesty I consider that very good
I noticed many Koreans who lives in the other countries are Catholic somehow and one day, they come to school with their middle names like Mary or whatever. So that a teacher always asked, " Should I call you Mary from now on?" and they`re totally like hell YES! It is quite funny though because eventhough I have my own middle name, I perfer people calling me in my Japanese name We have totally different ideas about it
"Hey mate. Im not a troll. I read this from an Asian source that says Japanese eat dead babies fetus. How is it trolling if im providing source from an asian websites. You calling asian people trolls?
You should look up on google. "Japanese eat dead babies fetus"
I think there are videos and numerous picture/article on the topic.
I am kind of confused with kids names today It`s like way too flashy for me and that kanji is kind of weird We used to see that kanji, the young yankees were using those words before And this child really look like Asian but his/her name is so westernized and it`s pretty odd. I do not have a child yet so maybe I am being a little too cruel but it just kind of makes me laugh
But do you recognized that babies names are kind of getting back to little bit normal? So those generations, I do not know how they ever feel, but there must be some people who might feel so ashamed of their names They are sandwiched by the normal names. Some are already in their Junior high but I noticed that boys name aren`t that unusual but most girls names are
Some people think that it is so important to be unique but I really don`t think so. I was raised normal but my environment wasn`t that much normal. So much different than others. It is so ironic that we are the family who value "normal is the best thing" but somehow we were raised in this pretty special environment without no intention
It is so important that we don`t get too noticeable in our life Just fit in somehow and don`t show-off so that we can live our life smoothly I don`t speak much English in front of Japanese people I just blend in
The author of "tales of Genji" Murasaki Shikibu explains the importance of not being noticable. She was such a smart lady but when she was hired in the palace, she acted as if she was not that smart So others told her, " I thought you were such a smart lady but you are being so comfortable to be with" This is very important in every situation. I do have so much opinion in the net but I never say outloud. I just hide them. In that way, I live my life with less conflict eventhough I look pretty different from others
I know. Just because I have to swallow every words I would like to say to people, it just burst out in the net I keep my own diary sometimes too It it so healthy this way
When I define the difference between talking and writing, I think that maybe conversation with mouth is more like making some people happy The writing is something more like analyzing
When we analyze things, it is rather more cold and it is not based on warmth My background was filled with multicultural issues so I need to keep balance by writing something down. I love Japanese tacit understanding, though my other part is desperate to learn the logics, meanings or the exact words to describe things more correctly. When we talk with the foreigners, our common sense is that we do not have any telepathy so we must use the words or to try to understand them. It is so opposite of being with Japanese people
When I used to browse around in 4 chan, I occasionally saw TL;DR, which is a abbreviation of " too long, didn't read" But in here I've never seen someone respond to her posts in such a way so far. It's a mystery.
Actually, there were some comments like that but I asked them favor to not to read every lines, if they don`t like my comments They also have a choice to pass the sentences and not read them lol I do that when I am not that interested about a certain topics I really don`t reply to it but people who are interested, they`ll reply
I really admire very good authors b/c they are really good with explaining things so accurately I hope I have that kind of talent. If you`re a guy, then you must get used to my lines b/c soon or later, you`ll experience "What the ****" with your partners. The most women are born this way. They keep on talking all day w/o no conclusion. Like the tales of Genji. Like some French movies Just talk talk talk talk talk...all day And if you have a girl, I think it`s all the same thing The men tend to have a conversation to have his own conclusion but the women do not want any conclusion. So my advise is just nod, eventhough you still don`t understand what the hell she`s saying
I know. I never cared about the mistakes I have no clue why some people are so obssessed about making mistakes My parents are like that and so am I I also can speak some Italian (*^_^*) I studied Korean and Chinese but I couldn`t continue the study b/c the grammer was way too difficult for me. Unlike that, the Italian, you just have to memorize the words and fit them into English grammer. That`s pretty easy And I took the French course but the pronouciation was so difficult, I quit
I'm not sure but according to a book I just read japanese people put more emphasis on facts, not logics. But facts don't matter and logics is everything in foreign countries...
For example in Japanese there is this proverb 論より証拠. No matter what you claim, if you don't have any evidence, your claim is invalid right? If you are japanese, I guess you all know the meaning of this proverb very well.
But in French there is the complete opposite meaning of this proverb. to them logics is everything. Facts are not important at all. The book says this applies to all other foreign countries.
It is impossible to express it in English because English can't express this proof. If I express it in English, I will have to use a Japanese word which I explain it in English.
However I think it is good. This is because I am going to publish it and I don't worry about it being stolen.
>>679 maybe ur kind of a living fossil It must be a thrill for someone like you to see some big crabs walking around. Totally destroy the very sensitive ecosystem So I`ll go back to Obasan`s thread
I thought TLDR was Terrible Long Distance Relationship...
No I disagree with women being talkative. I never talk just to fill in the gap. I cannot stand people who go on and on, unless it is really somehing clever. I switch off when Iam tired and, only answer technical questions. I avoid the real me.
If it is true, I wanna learn Kanji with Kazuya... We will hold the brush together, dip it in ink, then make gentle, smooth brush strokes on paper. We will make japanese tea together and listen to the calm sound of a gentle spring. Overlooking a peaceful garden our hearts will surrender to melancholy.
>>681 Hello! Maybe there are women like that also I keep on talking expecially when I am with my siblings and friends It`s totally non-stop. We have got to drink something b/c we get so thirsty My sis and I had gone to this family restaurant with her kids, poor nephews, and we had spent so many hours just talking blah blah blah... It is really nice to have a drink bar
Today is Sunday but Wednesday at the same time. The scene you saw this morning is a case of your mind-clocking saphir right hand. "I heard it through the grapevine."said you, and I know how you feel then. I'm doing nothing wrong. "Well...um...ah."said him. "Today passed while I was thinking what trick to play."said his mother. How terrible! Today is Saturday. and they lived happily ever after.
>>699 Sorry, I don't remember her. Come to think of it, maybe I am not an avid reader of this thread because I've made use of it as a means of improving my writing skills. In my opinion, there seems to have been such guys in here since time immemorial.
Those who say fact is fact are nationalistes? Are you OK? Hello?Hello? The world has not been in peace yet. You escape from reality. If you didn't mention nationalistes, I would not say so. This is the 2ch. You can スルー(ignore) posts you aren't interested in and use a ">>" so as to communicate with whomever you want to talk.
If I am a nationaliste, you don't have no sense of responsiblity for world peace. You are only parasitic to the world irresposibly, covering up what smells bad.
>>701 It can't be helped. It's a trend of the times. With the spread of PC use, there have been an increasing number of so-called ネット右翼 in Japan recently.
I see what you mean. However, this is top secret. It is too early yet. When you know the reason, you will be able to know the truth of the world. The world isn't ready to accept the truth yet. All I can say is that Japanesenglish is the final piece of permanent peace. Sorry.
>>706 There are a lot of so-called 無関心自称中道の振り間接的責任放棄ネット左翼 in Japan recently.
With regard to learning English, what bothers me most is so-called " third person-singular-present" rule. Why does your language have that rule in it? Contrary to what you say, it has no freedom at all. it sucks!
You can understand the freedom if you think which language is free. I speak about 1% Japaneglish now, so it is almost English, but it is Japanegnlish. Peace.
You know, 夷 means barbarian and when you hear the word, what comes to your mind? As for me, first of all, I want to expel barbarians such as Koreans and the Chinese from our country.
Unlike other Europe languages, Japanese is completely different from English For example, grammar,vocabulary and so on In my opinion, its hard not to think when speaking in English if you never lived in foreign countries
There are so many foreigners who don't tell fact from fiction in the site "JapanToday." They think Japanese must not do "Hate Speech." The foreigners there are all baka aho manuke no kusomushi kuzudomo. They don't and won't know why Japanese do so and what Korean have been doing to Japanese. Japanese have the right to hate Korean.
>>740 I think what you wrote is impossible. If what you wrote occurs truly in future, what for Hawaii. Has that collapsed by being squeezed between Japan and the mainland of the United States.
Finally, I got my Toeic result, and the score is about 750.(I took IP one). Is that good score? Please give me your opinion. It was my first time to take Toeic exam, and I never been to English speakin countries.
>>745 It's not good but considering the fact that this is your first time maybe not bad score! If you want to get a "good" score, you have to get at least 950 or so.
From my point of view, whose TOEIC score is supposed to be more than 950, The IQ of peple whose TOEIC score lower than 900 is as good as that of dogs. But cleaver breed such as golden retrievers.
John Negroponte, US deputy secretary of state, made clear Washington would not support any Japanese attempt to play down its wartime history, calling the imperial army's treatment of sex slaves during the war "most deplorable.”
↑ America isn't a Japanese friend. Japan didn't invade Asia. Sex slaves? Americans are so selfish. They cannot tell fact from fiction. I'm sorry they don't have logical mind.
I really love junk food like McDonald's, モスburglar, mr.donuts, KFC etc etc... Today I went McDonald's AGAIN! Now i feel so bad because its not good your health right? I just can't resist it!
So I would love to know good alternatives of these fast food restaurants!
What the heck is domdom hamburger? Yeah karaage kun is nice but there is not lawson near my home!
Speaking of TOEIC score, yeah I agree compared with Eiken 1 grade, TOEIC is nothing! Grrrr it's about time to prepare for The interview test of Eiken 1 grade AGAIN!!!!!
>>752 There is "Quiznos Sub" which is a sandwich chain shop in USA. It advanced into Japan and evacuated from there two times in the past. I have been a shop of it in Atlanta.
Reading some older posts in this thread now. It seems that there is less people around on this board than it used to be. Maybe that is just my memory though.
>>774 I don't know why, but as you said, there is a tendancy that this board has been less and less used year by year. Even other Japanese threads move more slowly these days that they used to be. Maybe people have been sick and tired of 2 chan after toying around with it.
I guess you don't like neighoring countries such as Norway or Finland. lol
If they were like the Taiwanese, I would want to make friends with them, but Koreans are so persistent in historical issues. I hate them from the bottom of my heart!
>>766 Six years??????????? Oh myyyyy.... I think I remember you, which means I've been here at least six years. OH no. I've wasted so many years in 2ch? >>777 All I know is about English board where this thread is in, and come to think of it, there are less people. Not sure though. As for this thread, There are fewer people from overseas. Back then, I think there were more people from overseas, from U.S, Ireland, UK and such, maybe because of IP ban or something. Not sure again.
Different languages. (Very different.) Finland is a republic, Sweden is a monarchy. (president vs. king)
Historically, Finland was once considered a part of Sweden; after independence, in World War II, they were invaded by both the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany and fought them both off. As a result, I think Finns care more about independence and are perhaps more proud of their country. (Sweden, on the other hand, managed to get through WW2 without much harm at all, and did better economically as a result.)
The classic stereotypes are that Swedes think Finns are all alcoholics, and Finns think Swedes are all gay. I don't think most people believe there is much difference today though.
Beyond the obvious things like language and history, there are more similarities than differences: Both are fairly homogenous and prosperous northern European countries, with some high tech industry (Nokia, Ericsson, etc), relatively high taxes, restrictions on alcohol sales, decent health care, lots of forest and empty space...
There is also a fairly large Swedish population in Finland, and a similar Finnish population in Sweden. I believe both are shrinking, but they still make up the largest "ethnic minority" in both countries.
That's what I could think of. (Sorry about the wall of text.)
>>790 Please add the stereoype of carrying knives, wearing socks inside sandals, yelling at night when drunk....they wouldn't notice you when sober, they don't hesitate to fondle your breasts when drunk.
With you said, It seems that Swedish and Finnish have more better relationship than Japanese and Korean (and chinese).
A half of reason is from historical problem (sometimes Japan invaded Korea), the other is language reason (both are pretty different). But both people seem similar than other countries. Patriots wouldn't think so, though.
>>795 Well, the Sami aren't really specific to either country, and kind of distinct from both. But to be honest it didn't even occur to me to mention them. Guess I'm just a stupid southerner..
>>796 Ok, knives is another thing. But everything else I'd call things we have in common.
> wearing socks inside sandals And that's definitely a stereotype of Germans. Either way, I do that too. I guess the thing here is that there are some weirdos who *don't* wear socks with sandals?
And I don't like metal and I like Maya batter than metal artists. Not sure if Maya or Maiya or whatever. She sings "It's all about the money," her signiture song. I think I saw her with her blonde hair dyed black in one of her music videos and I thought it's crazy. I understnad we, who has dark hair adore blond but I really don't understand why on earth blonde dye thier hair black.
>>801 Meja. Yeah, a fair amount of people (especially young women) dye their hair black or red. I guess it is just so that it's not the same as everyone else.
Almost everyone who does it is a dark blonde/brown tone, what women used to call "rat colored" when I was in school..
By the way, today is National Day in Sweden. It's not a holiday that is celebrated much, but we have the day off.
I think I'll go and watch the official celebrations in my town - usually not very interesting (speech by an official, playing the national anthem, people just standing around), but I'll go there anyway.
There is usually a part where the town welcomes those who have become new citizens in the past year, which is a nice touch, I think.
>>804 It's a lot better to go outside and breathe in fresh air than staying at home glued to PC like me. Enjoy! I guess if asians became new citizen, they would stand out in your community.
Speaking of blonde hair, is it just me or its super annoying so many white people call Asians who dye their hair like blonde, blown or whatever "white wannabe" or say like "are you trying to be white? Pathetic"
In fact a lot of white people also dye their hair into black but people don't say something like "are you trying to be Asian?"
>>806 I don't konw how commonly used in daily life but there's this word, "wapanese," who loves everything about Japan especially anime and Jpop. White + Japanese =wapanese. As far as I know, it's often used on the Internet. White people who dye their hair because they love Japan could be called "wapanese." I'm not a pervert, by the way. All men want to see blonde pubic hair first hand, let alone smelling it.
>>807 In the uk blonde hair is still considered "beautiful"? I heard this kind of thing like you can enjoy life more if you have blonde hair. People still believe this?
>>807 Yes. They say "i dyed my hair, it was a mousy dark blonde before" "Blonde girlfriend" is some kind of a token woman. It must be some sort of hair fetish.
>>752 There are some shops of "Jollibee" which is a fast food chain shop founded by Philippine Chinese livig in the Philippines. It servses Chinese type foods. It has also advanced in the U.S.A. with some shops.
He became the target of some cocksucker's aggression and left. A sad occurence, but this is a permanent weak point of 2ch, a total anonymous forum with no moderators.
>>824 No particular reason. I have occasionally tried posting, to see if the country ban still affects whatever ISP I'm using at the time. This time it worked.
Sweden-jin said his country is homogeneous, but what about immigrants? I sometimes hear that immigration in Sweden is becoming problematic, and there was a riot caused by immigrants just a few weeks ago.
I would say the problems we have regarding immigrants are mostly related to unemployment. It's difficult finding a decent job if you look very different and don't speak the language very well. There are also some things that are particular to asylum seekers - you might not even be allowed to work if you have just come here from an unstable country.
And with no jobs, you end up with poverty and people lose their dignity. That is the real problem, in my opinion.
That said, the people I know personally who can be called "immigrants" (I don't know many) mostly have jobs and seem to be doing reasonably well.
I don't know if that is typical, and I don't know what problems are common, except "I can't find a job that pays well", but I don't see people rioting in my town at least.
Take that for what it's worth, things may be different in the larger cities.
Guys, the Age of India is really coming. It's just a matter of time. Have you guys ever seen them dance? India is raw energy about to explode. The Age of India is neigh.
If you can't go to India, then go to Akiba. I heard there are Indians there. Indians came to Akiba as electronics technicians and then started curry shops. Thats what I heard somewhere. But it sounds ridiculous and could be complete horseshit.
>>843 General course, in the mid 1970's. It was like this. Our geography teacher gave an instant quiz and a female student didn't know the answer. So the teacher gave her a hint, "It's a country of free sex". Then the girl answered Sweden quickly.
One boy said, "you know very well". and the whole class bursted into laughing. The girl blushed for shame. She seemed regretting to have answered.
Nobody claimed セクハラ or something. It was old good days;-)
I checked roruchan's videos and there was a new video about a sex shop chain in Germany. He went to Germany's biggest sex shop chain and did an interview. This chain was started by an ex-bomber-pilot woman or something, and later she was awarded a national medal of honour or something for the sex shop chain now known to every German citizen.
I've been telling Britain to vote UKIP, and the party has now become a bit popular. Now I will work on India to make it popular and hot, and then the ultimate goal: ANGLO-INDO-JAPANESE ALLIANCE
But people in Britain seem to be sick of immigrants and I think it includes Indians. But this plan is a long termn plan, and so by the end of this century they will have solved the issue, and in the 22nd century, it will happen. The ANGLO-INDO-JAPANESE ALLIANCE. Because Britain took curry from India and served it on their navy ships, and then Japan took it from British Navy and served curry on the Japanese Navy ships and they still do. This alliance is boud to happen.
While wasting time reading British news, I learned something. "Asian" refers to different people depending on where you live. When British people say "asian", it means Turks, Pakistanis, Indians, etc
This is old news, but what do you think about the governor of Tokyo failing at some olympics conference or something? He made some insulting comment about Islam countries, and it seems Tokyo will never be chosen for the 2020 olympics location thanks to him.
During the London olympics, people were saying how Britain has so many world famous cultural icons and that Japan shouldn't hold olympics because we don't have those cool worldwide icons besides some stuff like Nintendo.
And Olympics seems to be entangled with bullshit, like removing wrestling. Tourists and spectators flooding the Tokyo area would be bothersome too. So maybe it's better to not do it in Japan.
>>858 This talk is not directed to you, so feel free to ignore it.
Speaking of Nintendo, right now there is news of the US government spying on people's internets. It's called PRISM. It's on the top page of wikipedia now, too. The companies involved in this are Microsoft. Google, Youtube, Yahoo and other big internets companies, which means your own internets is being watched. And Microsoft's new Xbox is said to come with a device that watches your movoment and voice 24/7. To summerize it, our internets is in grave danger now. And to protect yourself from this horror, you should throw out your computer and phone right now and go back to primitive life. The internet is over.
I've already prepared to get rid of this stinking computer and phone and I am ready to move to some rural town so I can grow some cabbages and not worry about this prism or boxbox.
My dream is to disappear somewhere just alone and never come back to my hometown and never contact my old friends and family forever and then start a whole new life at a complete different place
>>867 Let's allocate jobs in the community. Some clean the house, some grow vegitables, some prepare for dishes. Some go hunting. I'd be in charge of making kids with you.
>>871 You might know or not, but Oda Nobunari, a famous ice skater, is a direct descendent of Oda Nobunaga. He's not a handsome guy to say the least. He already got married when very young, although he's still young. I tried to put a link of his image here but 2chan doesn't allow me to do so, so image search "Oda Nobunari" if you're interested.
>>875 I will just assume that means handsome and up early.
>>878 Last week was mostly around 20-22 degrees during the day, maybe 15 when raining. Right now it's 12 C, but it is still early. I'm glad I don't have to deal with much heat..
Swedish border police are handsome and they wink at you! >>876 Well he seems to have converted his ancestor's fieriness into sports. His moves are very soft and elegant. Not what I was expecting. He is disarmingly cute! It's Ok if you are not a descendent of a warrior ancestor. As long as you are not the descendent of a traitor it is fine.
I'm a figure skating fun I have to say he is over. I'm 100% sure he will not compete at the next Olympics... Too many talented figure skaters in japan I guess he will be in the 5th place at the upcoming nationals....
>>889 I should've written "accidentally" or "unintentionally" instead of "mistakenly". Thank you for making me understand my mistake.
>>888 actually twice. One of them was when I was out. but the amount was little, so I could manage to survive. I'm seriously thinking of wearing a diaper in the near future.
Gimmeaflakeman is a stupid man. I hate kuso gaijins living in Japan. There are a lot of kuso gaijins in Japan. They don't tell fact from fiction. They should read "The Wall of Fools."
In the comment section, he says, "英語分からないなら、コメントしは結構です。(If you don't understand English, you don't have to comment)." He teaches English in Japan, so he knows most Japanese people have a poor command of English. If he continues ranting and raving about Japan, he should add Japanese subtitles to every single video. And he should reply in Japanese to comments written in Japanese. If not, Japan is like a punching bag.
Actually there are tons of this kind of gaijins out there like if you can't speak English, you are immediately labeled like a "retard" by natives.... He is one of them
If he couldn't understand toda san's English, he just should've skipped it. at least he is an english teacher. why did he say what discouraged japanese people to use english. it's beyond me.
Don't listen to people who discourage you. Speak freely, without fear, speak confidently, it is a learning process for all languages. IT IS OK TO MAKE MISTAKES!!!! Do not hesistate to make fun of those idiots who discourage you! Language learners unite!
>>893 They were doing a sober presentation of evidence that the 'forced/kidnapped sex slave' story is a fabrication, until the opportunist attention-seeker Hashimoto came out and brought chaos so that all the fools can ignore the sober evidence and discussion presented before and spout whatever bullshit as they please to condemn Japan. And thus continues the never-ending human stupidity.
I think I will be so freaked out if I go to Sweden because tons of blonde hair and blue eyes and of course white people and no Asians basically. I guess they treat me like an ugly weirdo from Asia and make fun of me like "look ma! There is an ugly chink there!" Actually I was told so by a little kid when I was on the double decker in England a few years ago
It's not a trauma at all. But I got so many discriminations there, I've started to dislike them I realised that only I can trust is japanese who are born and raised in japan! Not someone like Japanese American or something because they are not authentic japanese right? Also you should not trust other Asians like Chinese or Koreans. It doesn't matter they are really nice or something. They ARE freaking Chinese and Koreans! They are not trustworthy at all! You mark my words!
It's just me but, I think the population of English board where this thread is, is getting less and less. I'm not sure if that's because of through bans of particular IPs or simply 2chan itself is losing popularity. It's certain that Facebook and Twitter has been gaining momentum. As a person who prefer anonnymity, the trend where pople spend more time on Facebook is terrible. Twitter is sort of annonymous so I don't feel bad about it.
>>936 LOL Nice response. You'd have not been in a big trouble even if you actually failed a silent fart, because dentists and their assistants wear masks.
>>948 I have nowhere to go other than 2chan. No friends, no social life. I have nowhere to go. 2chan is the only place I'm equal to other people. Fuck Facebook, Fuck LikedIn. Hurrayy to 2chan an Twitter.
>>950 Man, what's fun about this thread is talking in English with people from all around the wrold. I'd say that's more fun than talking only with Japanese English learners in English.
>>939 Is there anything specific you are interested in? I watch some of the "netcasts" (video and audio) on twit.tv; "Tech News Today" might be good for someone interested in technology.
If you find it boring, then it is no good, of course.
>>941 I believe they use some sort of rubber sheet to isolate the tooth when doing root canals. It pretty much is surgery..
And no microscope, but my dentist has special magnifying glasses.
>>953 Thanks. It's not common in Japan to use rubber sheet. But I heard that the rubber and microscope is must in US so I was curious what's like in Sweden.
>>955 Apparently it's also very expensive here, compared to Japan. There is an automatic subsidy for dental work, but it only comes into effect for major treatments (or if you fix multiple cavities in a short span of time).
That is very strange because, your body has not developed at all when you are a teen! Are you by any chance a kind of shota fan... ( i am not accusing you, just curious) I think he is intelligent enough to go to a good university. It's just that he hasn't gotten round to that, I would love to see him study for a degree.
>>959 If you want to become rich, you'd better avoid becoming a dentist here in Japan. fierce competition among dentists in Japan. It's said the total number of dental clinics are larger than that of convenience stores throughout Japan. To avoid being in the red, you have to work on Saturday or even on Sunday while you take a day off on Wednesday. My sister has a son and he goes to high school. Some of his friends are dentists's son and all of their parents don't want them to be dentists. They all want them to be doctors. I have an appointment for dentist tommorow (already today) at 12:30. Got to go to bed. See ya.
Sweden-jin wakes up before dawn, goes walking to enojoy the scenery, and on his way back, he steps on a chunk of turd in the dark and shouts "Smorgasboard!" That's my image of Sweden-jin.
I just checked who has an ID, and wow, this ID system is so useful in this thread. There were some nanashi ppl from abroad, and some unknown person named Cornflake. I thought that one person studying english in Philippine was just lying, but he had an ID. This is great.
>>997 Can you look up the ID somehow, or is it only useful to see if someone is posting from outside Japan? (Is it unique for every IP or every country, for instance?)
And please somebody make a new thread, to celebrate the long awaited return of Igirisu-jin. Somebody other than me, who has no inspiration for a >>1 post. :)
