I'm glad the moderators here don't act like Nazis.

i thought everyone, including blonds like blond jokes. i'm sure even here, we can be civil enough to joke about our heritage. maybe THEY need to chill out for a couple o' weeks.

BTW, i'm goose-steppin' off to lunch now, for some brats, sour kraut, and a mug of warm Hefferweissen...LOL!

What's the good thing about being a Japanese blonde?
You're still intelligent, you only look stupid.

I'm glad the moderators here don't act like Nazis.

So your ban became permanent?

lol... it definitely can be construed as being a "racist joke". As you allude to the idea that Japanese are all intelligent in comparison to other blondes who are NOT Japanese... thus the joke alluding to the idea of superiority in intellect being "a given" as far as Japanese are concerned... which is a form of racism in and of itself (although only a joke)

and posted BY a Japanese, no less.

And then you use the term "Nazis" to compare the GERMAN moderators there... to the GOOD people here.

lol... Although I, personally wouldn't give a crap...I think I can see why a few of THEM would be a little pissed.

Was THIS guy given a "time out" as well? Seems his language was harsh, too.

Oh, it's you again.

Just when I thought it was safe to visit this forum again.

No he was not. He even had the nerve to go back and edit his original post directed at me so others wouldn't see it and only see me as the bad guy.

Great military strategy. :rofl:

I guess . . . I wouldn't go back there again anyway.

It was supposed to be a forum for those who are interested in Japan, but I was the only Japanese on this supposedly "Japan" forum (another German even accused me of lying and said I wasn't even Japanese because I didn't "sound Japanese"). 98% of what members "Learned" about Japan was stereoypes and generalizations posted by non-Japanese. There were two white women who are in a relationship/marriage with Japanese males, and all they did was bitch about how Japanese men are this and that. I got so sick of it.

There were some great people I met on that forum, however, with whom I will keep in touch. There's a fella from Chicago who is teaching English in Wakayama-ken that I met during my trip to Japan back in April. He studies Tai Chi so I gave him an exhibition and a quick lesson on Chi Kung.

BTW, the day after I got booted off that forum, I was made a moderator on a different one. :applaud:

They don't even need moderators there. Everyone is polite and no one ever argues over anything.

In the U.S. at least. That moron must've thought I was insulting his Supreme, Nordic, Aryan race. :doh:

lol, pretty childish response to a serious comment from me. I can see you haven't grown up any.

It must be fun being booted from forum after forum and being bitter every which way because of it.

.....

it sounds like a bad time to post considering the current situation of the conversation here...but screw it.


1. IMO the opening for olympics were great! stayed up all night and somehow it was worth it...

2. went to Manifest 2004 today. Manifest is Melbourne's anime festival and since i've never been to such events before, i thought i should just go for the sake of experience. amazingly in the end, i bought this:-

I feel your pain, man. I especially hate it when I see a dent that someone made from their crappy ass parking job. My car also got egged with berries by my friend the day after I washed AND double waxed it. Boy was I pissed. :mad: :angry:

I'm very passionate about cars. :hehe:

Imagine if it were bmw's car.

Oh boy. The earth will shake, sky will turn black, and the winds would turn cold. :sweat:

I've gotten over that... When I had my first Bimmer I was pissed for days... But four cars later, I still don't like it, but it's the price you pay for having a nice car and living in the city... Of course, I'm still selective on where I park... :)
