totally side note rant: this situation is showing another example of why I'm ready to move away from the u.s. when I'm abroad in europe or asia, when something like this happens, it's all over the news and you get full reports. but here in america? let me tell you, there's barely a peep about this ...

And my point is that anyone that uses things like bigoty and miss using shouldn't be doubting anyone's level of education.

I can't tell you how much I want to kick Brule's ass.

How can someone who uses a word like bigoty critisize anyone's English?

Thanks electrocat. Just as I suspected. No ass.

Yeah, where the hell are the ass shots? I still say j-girls have no ass based on the porn I look at. That's the big thing that kills the attraction for me. That and bad teeth.

Man, I know this is Japan related but it should be moved to Beyond Fucked

http://www.ptyx.org/img/zhang.jpg he's right, take Zhang Ziyi for example, she's ugly as a bat. :toothy: People shouldn't be allowed to do websites under the age of 18. Man, I was watching "House of Flying Daggers" the other day and I don't think I've ever wanted to bang someone on screen...

I got 9 out of 18 so I'm better than average. Whoohoo! It is hard to tell from pictures but I think I can often tell when I see people in person. But that's usually because of things like style and body language. If you put everybody in the same outfit with the same haircut and had them stand still ...

Taro, the original was funny as shit. Don't listen to these pussies.

Small point Charles,

Central Asian Turkic people are different from Turkish people.

goldenboy,

why do you keep posting random gaijin pics in the 'random nihonjin pics' thread?

I guess if someone is using wireless to send answers as they go they need to stop them right away. But they could just take the device away and then eject them after the section. Otherwise, I agree with NN. Just take note of whose cheating and wait till the section is done before you even aproach th...

Wow. Sounds like they're beating Hollywood in terms of quality of content too.

Charles is right about getting a solid base in the language at home before studying abroad. Even if you're only going to take language courses. People who do get more out of their studies and overall experience.

I have a Japanese friend who teaches in a program like that in the US. But he's at the junior high level. The kids start the program in elementary school but he said by the time they get to junior high most of them aren't interested in being there and are forced to stay by their parents so their Jap...

One has been fighting another. I love MMA but this fight will suck. I guess now that the competition is too fucking good the Gracies can only beat up on clowns. They should at least have Royce fight Bob Sapp or Mike Tyson. I wonder if that open challenge he had to Tyson back in the day still stands.

Goddam, now the price of Filipinas is going to go up.

I tend to prefer dark hair and tan skin but if a girl's hot I'm not going to turn her down because she's pale and blond. If a girl's hot? Who am I kidding? If a girl's available I'm not going to turn her down ... period. I don't fit into that prefer-your-own-kind category though. Otherwise I'd be go...

Yeah, there was one of those machines at Al Plaza when I lived in Hikone. One of the F'd Otaku Gaijins I went to school with bought an approximate assload of those cards and would play the game... So sad to see a grown 21 year old surrounded by Japanese children playing on that machine... I'll bet ...

Charles is right. It's one thing to say Asian girls are cute and to even generally prefer them. But guys who say they'll only date Asian women and will never touch a western woman are sick fetishists. The funny thing is they usually end up dating fugly beasts and swearing they are exotic beauties wh...

I believe u buddy, she'd must be cute but my obession for J-girls is much stronger :P

If you think those two chicks are hot then you need to check that obsession.

gkanai,

You should tell them NYC is just like "Friends." Where struggling actors, waitresses, and the unmeployed can afford to live in $5000 a month aparments and the population is 99.9% white.

It's a good salary anywhere but you can't live large in Manhattan on that the way you can in a lot of other places. But I guess that's true of most the World's major cities.

Those don't seem overyly propaganda-ish to me. Maybe I've just been spoiled by US and German WWII propaganda.

My host mother toook me to an enka dinner show once. I was by the far the youngest person in the room (with the excpetion of a girl sitting at a table full of yaks). It was definitely an interesting cultural experience. I don't know if I'd ever buy an Enka album but I do sometimes hear songs that I ...

He does have a point, although he could have done a much better job of presenting it. I remember years ago when I was in college seeing some news story about how expensive it was to live in Japan. They had all these expats complaining. I remember specifically that two of the things mentioned were th...
