Kobe's public beaches ban tattoos

[Ganma]

Did he/she quit recently?

Relatively speaking. He quit about 2 years ago. The circumstances were pretty harsh. He got pneumonia and was hospitalized for a month and that pretty much forced him to quit (he'd tried unsuccessfully before several times).

That would definitely add to the fear of being around smoke. Quite understandable in that case.

Back on Topic...so I asked one of my lemurs what she thought of tattoos last night. It went a little something like this:

Me) What do you think about Tattoos?
[color="Magenta"]Her) Scary![/color]
Me) What's scary about them?
[color="Magenta"]Her) When I see them, I feel scared?[/color]
Me) Why do you feel scared when you see them?
[color="Magenta"]Her) Because tattoos are scary![/color]

I don't foresee the ban being lifted for awhile...

In Japan, you have the right to not be made uncomfortable by your preconceived notions/ingrained prejudices.

...or to blame things on them. What would have been the outcome if Ichihashi had an AB bloodtype? Lesser sentence because "it can't be helped?"

I hate that line of reasoning and I face it all the time in Japan. I was doing a BBQ a few weeks ago in a park. You have to be finished with the BBQ by 4:00 pm which I knew. When the park officials came by to let us know it was time to start cleaning up I made it very clear to them that I wasn't complaining and was just curious but wanted to know why things have to stop at 4, especially in the summer. The answer was, "Because that's what's been decided." I told them I understood that but why 4 when we still have plenty of daylight left. They just gave a similar answer.

I think that if you take that answer literally (which I did in my drunken state) it drives you crazy because it's circular reasoning. I'm starting to think though that it's the Japanese equivalent of expressions like I don't know] or [i]just because.

Exactly, rather than admit they don't know, they fart out a bubble of circular "logic."

"typical Canadian"?
I consider myself to a fairly "typical" Canuck, and I have never met, or seen anyone with a maple leaf tatoo.
Not to say they don't exist, as a Google image search does indeed prove their existence - but I'll wager that more than 90% of said tatoo owners are young and got them within the last 10 years (and they are far from typical IMHO).

Every Chad from Saskatchewan or Corey form Nova Scotia seems to have the Canadian flag tattooed on their arm, shoulder or chest.

And for good measure they also have the flag sewn on their backpacks.

It drives me mad. How do you cope with this? I've been here a long time and I can see it coming ahead of time. I know that when I ask a "Why..." question, I'll get the circular reasoning answer.

Japanese refuse to say, "I don't know" - Even those who have the linguistic proficiency to say so in English. They won't. Instead, they tilt their head sideways, suck a lot of air through their teeth and not say anything.

Radioactive mutant schoolgirl prostitutes with a second pOOnany instead of the mouth... need a working titul and a special budget for the fx makeup... That could put a new twist to this fashion of wearing panties on yer head...
