Hooray for friendship!!:-):-):-):-):-)
And not to nitpick here. And maybe I have taken this out of context.... but why in the quote that you provided to us is "Wa" referred to using "great" in English? Is this just a bad translation from...
I don't often, or even now necessarily agree with many of the things Caster claims, but I would like to point out some things.
Now, I do not know Chinese, but I do know Japanese, so I would like...
Not unless somebody else wants to step in and put him in his place. He is speaking out of pure conjecture now, and he just sounds silly. So I'm pretty sure only people with IQs below about 70 will...
You are so ridiculous it is laughable. I will be sure and point them in your direction when they come knocking at my door. I am actually keeping tabs on all the most idiotic foreigners living in this...
I still think it is quite obvious they came from Kanji.. take for instance these 3.... ロ=口 カ=力 エ=工 they are katakana and stand alone Kanjis. To me that looks the most similar.
I personally have never seen readings like こきょう、and ふるさと being both possibly read from 故郷 as a problem. I mean I get the basic meaning in either case so it really does not matter what the intended...

Umm, that is exactly what I was saying. I was simply adding that it could also be used to help children, or foreigners. And not all proper names are confusing. Many are quite obvious to...

Umm, probably for children, or foreigners with limited Japanese, or just for clarity, since the names of many places can have awkward readings.
I would say that because less...
Reyter, your tone in every single one of your 60 something posts has been, offensive or confrontational, and you really are a fanatical living in a dream world if you cannot see this. Really what do...

Have you ever thought that maybe they do this to make sure you are legally in this country, paying your taxes etc, and not because they are on a power trip out to get you?
Still...
How about we look through all the "Police Harassment" threads and see who started getting the attitude, and saying inflammatory things to people first?
And why would I remove my comment about...
Wow... lookie here at this gem I found straight from the messiah's website himself. Please tell me again now.. how is your case for refusing an ID check being supported Reyter??

Reyter your ability to not comprehend why people wrote the things they wrote, or why we are debating with you is unprecedented. Why would I be out to keep foreigners from knowing their rights? I have...
Holy crap. Look who is talking.
Ok, this just confirms for me that you are insane or truly over reacting. A simple ID check means we have no rights? Yes, well my recent experience with my...
First, I think it is just hilarious that you seem to think you know Japanese law so well, but clearly cannot read Japanese well enough to have a full understanding of it. But you go get'em tiger! Be...
Umm, i suggest you just use wikipedia my friend...
JT9258> While I know you speak the truth when you post and your advice is solid, I must interject that your observations (as mine too) are still subjective. Many of the posters on this forum who have...
Well, in regards to my friend, i do not think it is really a who's fault situation to her, she realized that he is not the right person for her in the end. I honestly do not know all the details upon...
I will say my experiences have all been unique compared to the others. Among the Japanese I have gone out with, some where just a few dates, some were more serious.
There are all different types...
ShawdowSpirit> I have lived in Japan about 4 and half years. And reading your posts I feel like you maybe are allowing what you have read about Japan to narrow your understanding and openness towards...
Frustrated Dave, you wanna handle this one, you always say it the best.
All i have to say is that Yersinya, those are some very blatant generalizations, and I don't think it is a real reflection of...
For those of you who don`t want to read the Japanese on the above link it is basically about British soldier forced to work on the railroad , who towards the end of the war contracts malaria, and is...
I agree, mass killers and serial killers always make the news in Japan.. (well i guess i cannot prove that..) but still it seems strange to think otherwise.
