The thing is, while tv shows may exaggerate things a bit, I have to say it's not altogether inaccurate.
The "innocent until proven guilty" bit is a total lie in the US--something I didn't learn...
Not terribly...
...actually, I only learned about it at an Obon festival last year. You can get it in Japanese resteraunts, and even some of the sushi bars serve it, but I've never seen it in...
Hmm, I'm changing my previous opinion:
Not instand ramen, but instant Udon--that is Japan's greatest contribution to the world.
Like ramen, it's cheap, poor, lazy people (like me) can live off...
You been reading "Dragon Head"? :D
Oh wait, that wasn't an earthquake...
Anyway, I voted who knows.
Hmm, there's few cheeses (that I've had anyway) that I don't like--although being poor somewhat limits my access to the more refined cheeses.
For instance, I don't think I ever heard of Emmental...
Yes, that is another result of an evolutionary pressure against high intelligence--however the abillity to sucessfully pull of such a deception inherantly requires an abnormally high degree of...
No contest: Instant noodles.
15 cent instant ramen is the sole reason me and millions of other poor people the world over don't have to mug you to pay for our grocereys.
Instant noodles kept me...
...that's pretty much true here in the states too. :D
Hmm, well most of my school years are a bit hazy--I tend to be good about not remembering unpleasant things when I don't have to.
It's not that I ever started trouble, I'm just a firm believer in...
The tricky part about the sports question is that it makes a big difference whether you are just considering the US population (which this test is obviously aimed at) or the entire world. Blacks in...
Mine ranges from hot to cold--depending on my mood. :evil:
#4.
I'd say the same thing to the goverment agents who'd show up later to find out why Osama was on my doorstep.
I really don't care about his side of the story--nor do I care about Bush's. As...
Is that why mosqitoes go after me so much? :D
LOL
...and that is why I gave up on questions like these when I realized the world was round.
Heck--to Canada we're both southern nations! :D
LOL
Interesting thread...
...personally I gave up on questions like this when I was 2 and realized that the earth was round. :D
o+ and complete mongrel :D
My mother side was of Dutch descent, while my farther's side of the family is a mix of Native Central American and Japanese.
Well, I had to go...
...and now I'm not sure which boxes I checked in the vote. ^_^
I have at least a passing interest in each of the things listed, but I seem to recall debating whether to...
Well, I've always been interested in Japanese culture...
...ironically it is both the tiniest percentage of my heredity and the only part I'm really interested in.
I've also had an interest in...
My, what is it with all these off topic arguments in here? We were supposed to be discussing the differance between Western and Japanese values--not the age or origin of a culture.
(Why do people...
LOL, I knew I was going to get yelled at for that one. ^_^
Now that I've got everyone all riled up, perhaps I should clarify a few things:
I am well aware that the U.S. is only a very small...
Well, I haven't read every post in here yet, (I just skimmed after the first page) but I thought I should post a response while it was still fresh in my mind--as opposed to wading through 43 posts...
