    Education and Schooling

    Most schools have 1st grade, 2nd grade and etc. I'm sure Japan uses the same levels, but I want to know if they have 7th & 8th grades just likes most schools? You know, as in junior high/middle school? And what age do you have to be? Example: If your birthday is in June, and you're going...

    Do you really like J-pops?

    twisted OK here is my definition of J-pop. it's like inexperienced singer(s) singing on cheap music. I really don't know any J-pop artists so I can't give you an example... Don't get me wrong tho. I'm not saying all songs made in Japan suck!! Of course there are many great singers and...

    Do you really like J-pops?

    well I also hate those kind of clubby stupid europian dance music like the vengaboys-ish music. Milk inc.? Madhouse? I've never heard of them... I do produce dance/classic music, but I would never try to produce that kind of music. My problem is BOTH, music itself and the way it's...

    Comfort Women

    IMHO I don't think it is as easy as a simple apology. In order for pople to wish to apologize for anything they must first come to terms with it. And from what I understand, they simply have not or even think that what they've done was wrong. Also I've heard that any sort of blemish or...

    Whaling

    I use to support such campaigns as save the whales, save the elephants, Green Peace go hoorah! Now a days I see these as nothing more than mere cogs, in the political machine. First off, whose to gain from such political propaganda? Corporations in direct competition with Japanese...

    Home, not teachers, responsible for violent children

    I think theres' a real difference between letting kids play games for fun and letting games become the in-house babysitter just like the tv, which is all too often the case. Yes, fresh air is good for the lungs! With the size of apartments over there, I'm surprised they don't get cabin fever...

    Home, not teachers, responsible for violent children

    Well I didn't mean to generalize. I simply meant for problem kids, which is always the exception. And I never meant that all teachers were bad, simplay that every basket has its share of rotten apples. For the most part, serious problems anywhere are not prevalent because most people fall in...

    Home, not teachers, responsible for violent children

    You can never point the finger at only one source. If it were solely a home problem then there would be more domestic violence in the household. IMHO its a lack of parenting inconjunction with an educational system which is completly inept at dealing with fundamental sociological issues...

    I wish to buy a Japanese book - recommendations, anyone?

    Thanks Scott - I thought about getting a Manga but I'm somewhat - well, not very fond of them, at least of some. And quite besides I don't know which he'd like. Though if there are bilingual ones I may change my mind. Anyway, I thought I might tell you all about the outcome of the story :-)...

    You folks are unbelievable!! I only know English and my dialect of my native language. A spattering of Spanish, a few French prepositions. I'd really like to learn Japanese, enough to speak it! EK 8 )
