what is your typical view on JAPANESE?

very efficient with an improbable haven for expressing anything and everything despite the majorities professional demeanor. very unique generation gaps, your either rebelling with crazy clothes or in a suit working full time. they seem way to culturally founded, as if breaking the conditional expectation would result in a broken leg. they take fearing the unfamiliar to extreme lengths... it seems to be the only negative.

Invented Hentai :D
very cultural
come up with insanity
respectful
live on an island, close together
insert random fact

Incest is less taboo there.

True: first cousins can marry in Japan. This makes me wonder why you thought of this. :D

- they hate the chinese and vice versa
- japanese children sound quite cute ^^ the whole language sounds interesting ... what a pity i don't understand a word
- they use chopsticks ... i adore chopsticks :D
- pretty nice women :D

Is it true that every day you have to learn new characters/symbols?

- I don't hate Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese or any other asian. I hate the individual person.

- Meh, they are still all goo goo and gaa gaa like any other baby.

- I can use chopsticks, Yay.

- Meh, if you like flat chested short girls.

- Not that I know of.

- We didn't invent hentai, hentai = pervert. Hentai in essence is japanese cartoon porn. Meaning if anybody drew a penis and a vagoo, then BAM they invented it.

- Nah, we're as cultural as anybody else. We just tend to lean more on traditional and cultural things then Americans do.

- We didn't come up with insanity. Insanity was always around.

- Hrmm..Not really respectful, but very polite.

- Not enough space to breath, its no close together, its like not enough room to stretch your legs.

Yep, Japan is either Professional or retarded. Mostly retarded when your a kid, and then you realize life isn't all fun and games and you become cereal and decide to get a job and try to settle down.

so..do most anime reflect what it actually is to live in japan? and not anime like Evangelion. =P

no i think eva got it right lets not do anything while crying under a stairway not caring if you die or not

Mostly.

People really do pass rumors and do a lot of mean things.

Lots of backstabbing.

Its not as fun and nice as anime makes it seem. Its a lot colder, scarier, harsher, and more education.

Oh and you walk to school. Or train. No bus directly to school, just to the bus station.
Skipping marks you as a delinquent. Getting bad marks on test makes people look down on you.

Thats just the negatives though. There are many positives to japanese schools too.

That sounds depressing, I'm glad I am only part and live in the US, where we can be dumb as bricks and still become powerful to make the world recognize our stupidity.

God thing I I don't live in Japan. I would probably have a bounty on my head for skipping.

Your schools don't seem that different from ours when you say it like that.

I do wish that our school kids in America put such pressure on each other to be smart. In order not to be targeted by pranks in high school, I made friends with a lot of people in a lot of different social groups (ie. jocks, preps, a cheerleader or two, tha rappas not so many, the goths, the mexican kids, the list goes on...)

Displaying that your crazy smart in high school was like a big target on your forehead. I will say that it was pretty funny for a few of the sports players to find out that I was a straight A kid. By then we were friends and I was able to help a the lummox's a bit with there work.

Its all about the social cliques you hang with as to whether or not you got hose'd in high school. (Im guessing its the same everywhere, tho)

That's more of an American thing, but I have friend than are insanely smart and some that wouldn't even be able to spell their own name.(Exaggeration) Then again were put in classes of people that are the same skill level as ourselves so the test scores aren't that different.

MY kind of country.

They seem to think sex is boring and a chore, or so I have read.

Yea, there was an article in Random about that. It was rather informative too. My brother is going to be an exchange student in Japan, so I made him read it lol. Though I get the feeling they let some things slide for westerners...though they don't agree with it.

For awhile I was under the impression that anime was an accurate description of the Japanese, but then I realized it was only about half right, and not always the good way... childhood dream = crushed...boooo

hmmmmmmmm....

*serious thinking*

......... loli..........

i love japanese for many reasons....
food,hentai,cuture,politeness,details....
