    Man I Am Mad!!!!

    Who's Assama? No, the U.S. did NOT put Osama Bin Ladin in power.

    Can you ever get truly "close" to someone who is Japanese?

    You're amazing. Why the hell not? There are shy Americans and there are gregarious ones--isn't that a difference in personality??? If they share the same culture, then what? So, you still blame the person's culture for such behavior (to confess their love or apologize and bow to their...

    What are your interests for Japan?

    Yes, "ティ" was contrived to accomodate foreign words, but traditionally in Japanese, there is no such sound. What's your last name, "Case"? Justin Case. J/K!!!! :p :sorry: 😌

    Can you ever get truly "close" to someone who is Japanese?

    Thank you very much. Common sense dictates that if someone commits a crime, you blame the individual instead of his race, culture, ethnicity, etc. Same thing with a person who doesn't quite behave in the way YOU'd like him to.

    Why Japaneses copy everything?

    No, it's not silly. Italian, German, and other white people have various hair colors. You parents could have hair of a different color than you. Japanese only have one. What's the good thing about being a Japanese blonde? You only look dumb, you're still intelligent.

    Need a word or phrase translated?

    13-year olds? You'd be amazed at how many adults speak like that. I now judge people by YPMs ("y'knows per minute"). 1-2 YPM, you're doing good. 3-6 YPM, you're about average 7-10 YPM, you should be more careful 11-20 YPM, You have speech problems over 20 YPM, you're an idiot

    Man I Am Mad!!!!

    Somehow, all the aircraft carriers of the Pacific Fleet mysteriously left the harbor before the attack as if the attack was imminent. Just leaving one old battleship.

    Why Japaneses copy everything?

    If the thing you're copying has copyright protection. By your logic, it is okay for a black person to not like having black features.

    Is this how you say 'I love you?'

    But I doubt that a Japanese person would know that you're saying "I love you" if you said it in Urdu, Swahili, or Arabic. They would only understand if you said it in English.

    Need a word or phrase translated?

    The last part means "next time". Mata Kondo. That's why I said "Not to be used in formal speech."

    Can you ever get truly "close" to someone who is Japanese?

    If reality is such that you find another culture so difficult to deal with, why get involved with someone of that culture? We've already been through this so many times. Blame the individual's personality before you blame an entire race, ethinicity, or culture of people.

    Can you ever get truly "close" to someone who is Japanese?

    What's "passing"? I only know the term as used in football. :p Did you start dating your boyfriend for the "novelty"? Do you suppose the Chinese, Koreans, Thais, Vietnamese, Indians, or the Bangladeshis would be more willing to make concessions to Western ways? Could it also be...

    Why Japaneses copy everything?

    I have thought about it for a long long time. I've written on the subject in the Rafu Shimpo newspaper in Los Angeles. Some Japanese (of course, not all) don't care for being Oriental. That's why they try to look more like white people by coloring their hair, and through cosmetic surgery...

    A Quiz on Japan for Beginners

    If you're going strictly by Osaka-shi versus Yokohama-shi. Osaka-shi, within Osaka-fu, is not that large. But then it would not be fair to say that Tokyo is the biggest city because the entire prefecture is considered one city. There is NO Tokyo-shi. I assume "size" of a city is...

    Need a word or phrase translated?

    "Datte" is like "because" when used in the following: "Party ni ikenakatta. Datte kaze hiitandamon." (I couldn't go to the party because I caught a cold) "Saa" is used to connect thoughts to make them flow together (but should not be used in formal speech): "Shokuji ni itte saa...

    Why Japaneses copy everything?

    Thanks! When I saw the "Project X" episode on Tokyo Tower it was exaplined that it was built as a broadcast tower. But trying to emulate the hair color of Westerners by dying their hair blonde is getting ridiculous.

    More Silly Japanese Puns ("Dajare")

    You won't believe, there's even a Dajare Federation! Japan Dajare Federation This is mine: "Sanpatsu ni iku tochuu ni kenka ni natte nagurareta." "Nanpatsu?" "Sanpatsu."

    What are your interests for Japan?

    Actually, to spell it in Romaji, it would be "Jasuchin". There's no "ti" sound in Japanese, so it comes out "chi". So I guess I like your way better for forum name purposes.

    Is this how you say 'I love you?'

    "I love you" does not translate very well literally into Japanese. So can we put the matter to rest and go ahead and say it to a Japanese person in English? He/she will like it better in English.

    Japanese and Finnish

    At the time I meet Mr. Virtanen, I knew that most names that end in "nen" are Finnish. I found out later that it's a very common name. Does your name end in "nen"? Someone told me a joke once, "What is big, yellow, and has 50 fins?" "A school bus in northern Minnesota." (there are...
