What I mean is that culture can mean SO many different things ranging from art to politics to history to sport... to kinky porn , to just say one likes the culture of something, and not really go into detail about anything (as I often heard in my Japanese class) seems to be not be very genuine. But your experiences may vary.Thanks but no thanks.Nuke wrote:

I agree. It's either a gag, or it's some weeaboo who thought he loved Japan because all he ever knew about Japan was through anime and looked at the country through rose-colored glasses and saw it as some goofy utopia, just like this cockmuncher. Geeks don't get a lot of respect in America, either. People think it is cool to go see the latest Spider-Man flick in the theater, but they think you're weird if you actually buy and read the comics.Udderdude wrote:Chances that picture is trollbait from one of the chans = 100%.
You mean he didn't go outside the station and look at the baskets of the bicycles parked outside? Those are the unofficial trash cans!Tempest wrote:Also, he was baffled by the lack of public trash cans and that people are expected to hold onto their own garbage till they get to their home or business (He went so far as to take a picture of one public trash can he found, which he claimed was "The only fucking trashcan in the entire goddamn city")
I'm with him on that one. There are plenty of Japanese women who dress like total pinheads, but it's more respectable than chicks who think the only way to be attractive is to show as much skin as possible. I'd take "humiliatingly goofy" over "humiliatingly slutty" any day.Tempest wrote: He did claim that while he was there he enjoyed the fact that Japanese women dress and act much more dignified and with more self-respect than most American girls he has met. He said he loved the fact that not one of the girls there was just waling around in a cut-off shirt with some sweats with "Juicy" written on the ass.
I hate this crap too. I'm sick of those stupid celebrity magazines that won't leave those poor fools alone. It's all about how Brad Pitt leaves Jennifer Anniston for Angelina Jolie, and how those idiots adopt children (they can do it so much faster than anyone else, even though they are the last ones who should be allowed to adopt anything human).GaijinPunch wrote: and every fucking magazine at the check out counter of the grocery about Brittany's fuck ups or Jessica Simpson's cans.

That's what I was implying. They'd be better off getting a dog or cat instead of a human life since they're such fuck-ups. Then again, even taking care of an animal may be too much for those celebrities.Ed Oscuro wrote:Why draw the line at humans?

Yes, I read about this in the newspaper once. I'm not at all surprised. Japan also has a very high conviction rate, perhaps because just by being accused of something leads judges to believe that they are guilty. This phenomenon will be amplified even more for foreigners living in Japan, since obviously gaijin are the source of all of Japan's problems and how JET teachers are corrupting Japan's youth.Acid King wrote:They can hold a suspect for 20 odd days without access to a lawyer and have been criticized for the way they interrogate suspects and get confessions.

On the flip side, it is actually hard to get arrested. You need to be suspect of an actual crime (drug possession, beating the living piss out of someone, rape, etc.). I have been arrested (twice in fact) for almost nothing in the US. Of course there, you're out the next day. Anything less will usually result in you getting the talk of shame either at the spot where the incident occurred or at the police station. I was driving a scooter without a license or insurance and bumped into a lady. Generally that's a big no-no, but they let me go. They generally just call your wife and/or boss, and call you back in a few weeks to make sure you paid for the damages.They can hold a suspect for 20 odd days without access to a lawyer and have been criticized for the way they interrogate suspects and get confessions.

Well, I started it well over a year ago. I don't read much of anything to be honest. By the time I get the little guy to bed, I can't be bothered to think.seattlexc wrote:hahaha, I figured it would be in Japanese, with you being all bilingual and cool and stuff.
