日本は中国にしても韓国にしても決して嫌いになりたい訳じゃない。
でもあれだけ激しく「日本嫌い」と言われたんじゃ好きになれって言う方が難しいでしょう。
特に韓国。はるか昔の事を引っ張り出してきては、日本人が大人しいのを良い事に口汚く日本を罵る。
ずーっと我慢してたけど、いい加減にしろ！って言いたいよ。
争い嫌いで穏やかな日本人を怒らせるっていうのは相当な事だよ。
本気で怒ったら今まで我慢していた分、暴走するかもね。

日本と韓国の関係は、感情的衝突ですが、

昔、太陽の神アマテラスが月の神ツクヨミに、食物の神から
食べるものをもらってくるよう命令しました。
月の神ツクヨミが食物の神に食べ物を出すよう要求すると、
食べ物の神は、口から食べ物を吐き出して、月の神ツクヨミに
差し出しました。
ツクヨミはそれをみて「汚い！」と言って怒って、
食べ物の神を殺してしまいました。
それ以後、人々は労働して、自分で食べ物を育てなくては
ならなくなりました。
このことに怒った太陽の神アマテラスは、
「愚かなる月の神よ、お前とは二度と顔を合わさない。」
といって、月が出てくると姿を隠すようになりました。
そして、夜ができました。
冬は、月の神が人恋しくなるり、早く出てくるので、
早く日が沈んで、寒くなるのです。
夏は、月の神が遅くでてくるので、日が遅く沈むので、
熱くなるのです。

Maybe I'm not the one to have the right to say it.
(Because I wrote about it first)
But every Japanese who is accustomed to using the Internet
seem to be addicted to discuss and tell others about
Specific Asia(S. Korea, N. Korea, and China).
I know, you know, we all know the reason why.
We all know how annoying and disgusting they are and these
political propagandas are.
And we all know how they are trying to ride for free on
Japanese resources including culture, technology.
But for foreigners, it's nothing more than only relations
among third nations, so we just should tell about these things only when we are asked to do it.
Why don't we just go back to main stream to give some
informations aobut Japanese things?
日本のことで質問がある人は、何でも質問してきてください(^-^)/
>中国は、仏教の聖地、チベットを侵略し、多くの僧を虐殺したため、多くの日本人は中国を憎んでいます。
違うと思うｗ
まず仏教をひとくくりにして、その聖地をチベットとしてるのは
分からんし、日本の人口に膾炙してる仏教はチベット仏教とは
言いがたい。
>キリスト教徒も、エルサレムがアルカイダに占領され、牧師がたくさん殺されたら怒るでしょう。
ここでもキリスト教徒をひとくくりにしてるが、「牧師」はプロテスタントしか使わんし。それにエルサレムはイスラムにとっても重要な場所で、そもそも、そこに戦後、ユダヤ教徒が入植したのも問題の一部だし。
日本の保守派が中国問題で怒ったとき、
かならずチベット問題を持ち出す。
神道は多神教なので、仏教徒の教義的統一性を
理解していない。
また、宗教の教義の違いから争いを起こすことを
軽蔑しているので、
この問題では、たびたび衝突を起こす。
織田信長は織田剣神社の宮司家の出身で、
天皇家を中心とする神道国家の建設を目指したが、
徳川家康は織田信長の影響力を排除するため、
檀家制度を導入し、織田軍団の戦闘部隊の神人を
無宿人と指定して、隔離した。
徳川政権が倒れると、その反動で、神道勢力が
大きな力を持ち、廃仏毀釈によって仏教を迫害した。
第二次世界大戦後、神道勢力の衰退により、
仏教勢力が力を持ち出したので、
チベット仏教の話題が出ると、必要以上に感情的になり
否定する者も出てくる。
神道の価値観では、宗教の教義を理由にした争いは恥である。
神道勢力が大きな力を持ったってのも一つの見方だけど
豊臣についた東派と徳川についた西派の仏教の内部抗争でもあるからそう断言できないよ
朝鮮（当時の新羅）人はね、昔は侵略をしかけていたのだよ。
だから、今の福岡あたりに「防人」（さきもり）という軍隊を配置して、防衛していた。
また、朝鮮（当時の高麗）人がモンゴル人の皇帝に進言して、侵略してきたこともあった。
時代が新しくなるにつれ、日本と朝鮮で国力に差が開き、朝鮮人には手が出せなくなったから、朝鮮人は近年まで半島に閉じこもっていた。
今の韓国人は、過去の侵略行為を認めたがらない。
そんな国の発言を、まともに聞く気はおきない。
朝鮮人の場合、彼らの国の名で戦争をしかけないだけで、強国に追従して他国を攻撃するのは好むので、けっこう好戦的な民族ではある。
（大陸勢力が台湾に侵攻する際、韓国軍が積極的に派兵するのではないかと、一部の台湾人から警戒されている）
>>292補足
昔は朝鮮半島に複数の国があった。
当時の日本は、その中の百済（ひゃくさい、くだら、ぺくちぇ）という国と関係が深かった。
それとは別に新羅（しんら、しらぎ、しるら）という国があって、この国は中華（今の中国に相当）と、関係が深かった。
半島内にあったいくつもの国が滅んでいき、新羅だけが残ったが、このことが日本に危機感を持たせた。
防人という制度があったのは、このような事情による。
Hi, I just have a question about one of Tony Taka's artbook : Kaburimono 3. Based on Ragnarok Online for those who dont know.
I'm not sure if anyone addressed this since I couldnt find any information or they might have been deleted a long time ago. ^^;
Anyway, I'm curious what happened to that artbook? Since my japanese is very bad I can't read much japanese on sites that I visited in search for information. If you can help it would be much appreciated. ^^
Arigatou!
PS. The link to Tony's website : http://www.bekkoame.ne.jp/i/taka_tony/
Correct title is "カブリモン Vol.3", Kaburimon vol.3
(not kaburimonO).
http://www.bekkoame.ne.jp/i/taka_tony/c65-info.htm
In this page, he says "Sorry I couldn't release new edition vol.3
for comic market 2003 winter".
As you say, there are no informations like vol.1 and vol. 2.
But anyway the book must have been released already, because
I found a description about the book on a web page of
(illegal) P2P file exchange group on the Internet (yes it was a download key of the book).
They could never share it on the Internet unless it was
released. Therefore I think you can find it out on some
second-hand market of dojinshi(fan-zines).
Ah I see. Thank you for the information.^^
Then do you know where I could get a copy of the book? I'm thinking of buying it but not sure where since most of the Japanese websites that sells such books are confusing to navigate (I did try looking). ^^
I'm not living in Japan so I would need a shop that can do international deliveries to Australia.
Arigatou gozaimasu!
I am very sorry to have told you a lie.
Actually the book might be not released yet.
I tried to search on the Internet a little more deeply and
I got some posted messages which say that the download key
I found was a fake to send others a virus or something.
According to the afterword of another book of the artist,
he has been wishing to release it but he has been too busy
to play R.O. and get some ideas of stories.
Anyway, I'm not sure to tell you the best way to buy some
dojinshis from other nations.
Most of the Internet (or mail order) shop like
http://www.toranoana.jp/mailorder/cot/index.html
don't deal with orders abroad.
So there must be only a few ways like
1:Make a friend or an agent in Japan and let him ship it to you.
2:Get the account of
http://list3.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/2084007413-category.html?
(In Japan, it's more popular than e-bay.
And getting account is necessary to enter the auction for
adult rated books and to bid)
and let the sellers say yes to ship abroad by the power of
money.
Oh I see. That's alright, everyone makes mistakes. ^^
I was wondering if the place you found it was at a japanese database? If not could you give me the link to it? I just want to see if it was the same page as the one I found.
Thank you again.
It's quite simple.
You just have to access
http://www.google.co.jp/search?q=%E3%82%AB%E3%83%96%E3%83%AA%E3%83%A2%E3%83%B3+Vol.3&lr=lang_ja
and enter all links one by one.
【洋楽】７ヵ国語に挑戦したアヴリル、「日本語は簡単」「一番難しかったのは中国語」
Question. In anime there is often an attack (used mostly by ninjas and samurai) where guy A with a blade will run past and hit guy B so fast you don't see any attack. Then they will both just stand there back to back for a few seconds. Then the cut wound suddenly appears on guy B and he drops dead blah blah.
Is there an actual name for this type of attack?
>>301
I tried to find out a proper name of what you asked. But, sorry, I couldn't
find any.
I think, at least I can tell you that:
It is only a part of many techniques of anime and it doesn't have certain
independent name.
And also I can tell you that:
There are not styles, techniques or maneuvers like that for real sword fight
of samurais.
This is one of traditional dramaturgy of Japanese play or movies.
From Edo era, pausing an act to emphasise the scene is called "見得を切る mi-e wo kiru = emitting presence" in play of kabuki.
This type of method has been called "外連 Keren = straying from orthodox" or
"外連味 keren-mi = taste of Keren".
"外連 Keren" means over-decoration and spoiling realistic description to emphasise the situation.
(Please remember that kabuki meant "avant-garde play" or "punkish play".
Yes, each and every classical arts were once avant-garde in past.)
And today, pausing the scene like what you described is very popular
in costume (historical) dramas on TV.
In Japan, especially among people who is ignorant about real sword fight,
it is widely believed that the fight of sword master ends by only first
attack.
So usually this technique is used to emphasize the result of duel of
2 samurais.(Isn't this same as gun fight in western movies?)
And lately, as you wrote, this technique might be applied to one-sided
attack like assassination by a ninja.
Also anime have inherited this style of description of fight.
That's what you saw on a anime film, I think.
Hello, I have a question concerning working/living in Japan.
Do you think an American faces a lot of racism in Japan?
Do you think a German is welcome in Japan?
Also I have a personal question for you, what do you think of Arudou Debito? (http://www.debito.org/nihongo.html/)
Thank you for the detailed reply. I guess it's just a general story telling technique for raising suspense. I thought it was a glorified version of some actual martial arts attack.

> Do you think an American faces a lot of racism in Japan?
It depends on who you are, and how you accept rules of Japanese society.
It doesn't matter where you are from nor what your nationality is.
I don't mean to say there's no racism in Japan.
And I also think that each and every group has the right to have
appropriate xenophobia to keep their peace and prosperity.
I wish you understand that racism in Japan have come from not prejudice
but real experience of being troubled by some "不良外人 Furyo Gaijin = bad
/ rude foreigners".
So, firstly, we will be very cautious about you when we will meet each other
because possibly our common protocol (communication) will not work with you.
And then, everything is going to depend on your attitude.
If you do some act that I put below, you will face so terrible racism.
-Joking to strangers
I have a experience to have gotten my eyes shot by a laser beam pointer by
foreign strangers. Maybe they supposed me to laugh at them.
But it was going to work absolutely not.
And I also saw a foreigners scribbling on the blouse of another student from behind in a driving school. She was crying.
-Being arrogant.
Some of them seem to have come to Japan with mission to enlighten native
people. I am not surprised that the nickname of Arudou Debito is
"Hokkaido Crusader" (Hokkaido is the place he lives).
Especially you have to carefully avoid to try to teach your native language
unless someone asked you to do it.
-Being lustful.
This is the biggest problem.
Like other countries might be. There are so many young female
(sometimes male) wannabes in Japan who dresses like Beyonce or
Avril Lavigne. They might think they could be someone if being with
foreigners.
So if you are male and like M.C. Hammer (JA Rule? 50cent? EMINEM? I don't
know much), you can get many girl friends at same time very easily.
And then, welcome to the notorious GAIJIN world. No one else would be close
to you except some idiot brats.
> Do you think a German is welcome in Japan?
It's quite simple. If you are welcome in Germany, you will be
welcome in Japan too.
According to my experience, 60 to 70% of foreigners in Japan are losers
who ran away from society of their own country. And they seem never to be
able to manage his(her) life in their mother nation.
Therefore, this question is not to be asked to Japanese, but yourself.
And if you are respectable enough, I guarantee that you will never face to
racism without cause in Japan.
> Also I have a personal question for you, what do you think of
> Arudou Debito? (http://www.debito.org/nihongo.html/)
It does need 10,000 or more words to explain it. Because there have been
very very very very very long and complicated stories about this phenomenon.
I'm ready to write about it. But are you okay with it? No?
Okay, I wish you just take note that:
In Japan there is long tradition of "Anti-Japanism-public-opinion-business"
by left-winged anarchists. Mr. Arudou is nothing more than a player/actor
who is trying to become a celebrity admired in this industry.
Plrease refer to
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9C%89%E9%81%93%E5%87%BA%E4%BA%BA
and
http://www.japanreview.net/letters.htm
"Arudou and his family should not have been excluded from the onsen in Otaru, but I suspect I am not alone in objecting to the way this unpleasant, but essentially trivial incident has been parlayed into a career opportunity"
That is very interesting. I agree with what you say, if a foreigner came over to America and started trying to act like Flava Flav or something, and overused words like 'dude', 'sick' and any other typical teenage language, I'd probably take it that he is mocking us. I also find it interesting that you say that around 60-70% of foreigners are outcasts from society, which is probably true. Since Japan is a flip side of America, they probably think they can go there and immerse their selves into the new culture. What is funny about this is that because it is so different, they won't probably have a clue how to act. I believe that learning the language and writing system is a good start, but to know the culture is a whole other thing. The same goes for any country.
I am not OK with Japanese people looking down at foreigners just because they are foreign though. They should at least give them a chance first, and if they are annoying or disrespectful, then I believe it is OK to criticize them (Assuming they understand you). This is very informal information that you said, thank you.
>>306 Is there some way to learn common communication protocol for foreigner who never was in Japan? I just don't want to look like someone without manners when I go in there?
>Is there some way to learn common communication protocol for foreigner who never was in Japan?
For a trip, don't worry about it. Just use common sense.

If it's first one, it must be

If it's second one, it must be

英単語ぐぐったらここにたどりついた。
記念ぬるぽ
>>314
This is the one of possible answers. But I can not have any idea
for your question other than this.
Maybe, "turning to the right" is direct translation of
"右傾化:turning into political attitude of right-wing".
In Japan, because of the effort of some groups, the word
"right-wing" has been labeled fanatic nationalism and aggressive militarism (, not conservatism).
This had been very standard way of thinking among Japanese
people because of the experience of the WW2.
But nowadays, most of Japanese have realized that these pacific/liberal activists have so many foreign agents hidden behind. Their goal is incapacitate Japan in various field.
In spite of this situation, "turning to the right" is still available in limited space of political opinion including some
papers.
Therefore, if you see someone who use "turns to the right" too
often, that person might be resisting the recent trend of people
who try to make everything clear and find out the better
political stance.
And possibly the person still believes that some ignorant people
could be brainwashed with the magic word "turns to the right"
the symbol of evil.
In other words, he/she is using the phrase "(most of young people
tend to )turn to the right" as "getting worse" to criticize
modern trend of society.
In a manga I saw the phrase 「右に曲がります」 on a sign taped to a character's back as a trick.
Also, in the same manga (translated to English) I saw the phrase "When she turns around, she turns to the right too often" used as an insult.
Does this sound familiar?
>>319
I can't tell you clearly because it depends on the category of the manga you saw.
Usually mangas and animes tend not to commit on one certain political stance,
because whatever they assert, opposite side would complain to the artists and
the publishers so severely.
Especially complaining from some left-winged pacifist and ecologist is
actually more terror than complaining, like saturated phone/fax call and e-mails,
sending carcass, or arson.
So whenever they touch political things, most of manga artists and publishers choose
relatively safe colors: modest/moderate liberalism. And they carefully remove other
colors from their work. Because they have to focus on entertaining readers and avoid
other troubles.
But there are some exceptions.
-
Some manga artist declare that they are critics using manga as the way of expression,
like Yoshinori Kobayashi, Sharin Yamano.
Once they established their position as political activist, careless attack causes
scandal. So they can get freedom of expression and security.
-
Some left-winged groups frequently have a very closed political rally.
In the stage of the gathering, sometimes they exhibit very childish/rude symbolic revue to
insult their enemies. Like a sketch by a man with a mask of PM. Koizumi and costume of ape.
Like this, as long as they think those are for their eyes only, their activities of
publishing turn into rudeness infinitely.
That's why I wrote "it depends on the category of the manga" at first.
The style on the manga you saw is very familiar in mangas of the liberalists,
by the liberalists, for the liberalists in Japan.
(You might think I'm insulting them. But what else can I tell you if it's only truth?
Rudeness, unlawful maneuver, violence and self justification is characteristic of liberalists
in Japan
I even saw a porn video of two people doing it with masks of Japanese emperor and empress.)
>>315
It depends on how Japanese people take their purpose of
acting Japanese, insult or respect.
And I think I have to point "The Uncanny Valley".
http://www.androidscience.com/theuncannyvalley/proceedings2005/uncannyvalley.html
This can be applied to foreigners acting Japanese too.
In other words, if your act is too much similar to Japanese,
we suspect your hidden agenda.
I know it's only a myth, but Japanese people have believed that we
are residents of peripheral region of the world and we are so
unique that nobody can learn how to act same as us.
So "外タレ=外人タレント=Gaijinn talent= (TV-)talent who came
from abroad and became an entertainer in Japan" always speaks
unskilled Japanese to be loved by audience.

I'll answer in English if you don't mind. I'm not in the mood to try and write an extensive post on whaling in Japanese atm...
Anyway, I'm Australian not American/European but I think I can still answer your question to an extent.
Firstly there is still a lot of concern about whales going extinct. Kind of a carry over from anti-whalling campaigns in previous decades. One of the many things that Japan is famous for in the West is the amount of overfishing that has occured in Japanese waters. A lot of people just don't trust Japanese whalers to only hunt whales in a sustainable manner. In Australias case also there is concern that over whalling or even just any whaling at all will affect Australian businesses which sell whale watching tours. Some people are also opposed to it simply because they view harpooning whales as barbaric and cruel. This point of view is of course a bit hypocritical but a fair number of people still espouse it. Finally there are conservation groups such as greenpeace .etc. which are of course going to be opposed to whaling. Being opposed to things like whaling is pretty much part of the definition of being a conservation group I think. Naturally they view conservation of wildlife as being much more important than the culunary culture of any nation be it Japan, America or wherever.
Personally I'm not apposed to limited whaling. In Australia you can buy Kangaroo meat and those Kangaroos are not raised on a farm they are wild Kangaroos which have been shot! I don't see any reason why LIMITED whaling shouldn't occur be able to occur.
Anyway hope that clears things up a bit.....
>One of the many things that Japan is famous for in the West is the amount of overfishing that has occured in Japanese waters. A lot of people just don't trust Japanese whalers to only hunt whales in a sustainable manner.
Give me an example. How many years do you think the Japanese have been fishing (not just whales) in the water-surrounded land where the culture of eating the meat of domesticated animals was imported in the 19th century? Famous for overfishing? What a stupid people aren't they? Their food supply depends on fishing and they overfish!
BTW, you know those countries who are opposing now, USA for example, hunted whales just to use their oil, don't you?

Honestly, I'm more worried about the salmon and tuna than the whales. It's not like people eat whales everyday. It's a specialty item that's pretty expensive.
On the other hand, you better enjoy your wild-caught salmon while you can, because they aren't going to last for much longer at this rate.

鯨には天敵がいないからです。
今、世界規模の日本食ブームで魚の需要が増えています。
なので、今、日本食はピンチの状況です。
日本人は、鯨を戦後の貧しさからよく食べるようになったようです。
アメリカのGHQが鯨の肉を日本側に推奨したという話も聞きました。
アメリカのGHQが認めた日本の固有の領土には、北方領土、尖閣諸島、竹島が含まれている。
でもロシアと韓国は、不正に軍事占領しています。
日本の隣国は、日本が軍事行動を出来ないことをいいことに軍事支配を続けています。
ロシア、韓国、北朝鮮、中国は、欧米＆日本とは違い、情報等が鎖国もしくは準鎖国国家です。
彼らの考えは国際常識から逸脱しています。
日本は、辛いです。
What is Japanese man thinking about German woman?
Is Japanese man liking?
Hey Japan, i have a question. Whats with all the China/Korea hate?
I'm not trying to be rude or anything, just curious.

Hey American, i have a question. Whats with all the nigger hate?
I'm not trying to be rude or anything, just curious.
Do you think >>1 is really Japanese?
We should put him to the test.
僕馬鹿です。
助けてください！
日本語大変でね？
"What's with all the nigger hate" probably isn't the best way to not sound rude.
Also, because most of them are indigent, lazy, unintelligible, unintelligent, and not really trying to fix any of the above.
what do japanese people consider the best watch? CASIO?
(・∀・) TROLLS! TROLLOLOLOLOLLOLSS!!
I swear to gods, they breed somewhere in the case-dust and find their way into the ethernet cables and onto the net.
How embarassing.

我々（日本人）にとってはこれが普通なので、逆になぜ一人で帰るのに心配しなければいけないのかが
よくわからないのです。いちおう犯罪統計だと年間の１０万人あたりの事件発生率は日本が1500件
アメリカが5000件。殺人事件の発生率が１０万人あたり日本が１件、アメリカが９件となっています。
そういう意味ではより安全ではありますが、まあ、やはり犯罪は起こってはいる。ということで。
一人で家に帰る道で、男が後ろについて来たら怖いのは同じですし、
男が家と帰るのと同じ方向に女性が歩いてると気まずいのも日米で別に変わらないと思います。
Because this is common, it isn't understood about well for the >>326 us (Japanese) whether you must be afraid though it comes back conversely and alone why.
When they are statistics on いちおう crime, as for the matter incidence rate per 100000 people of the year, 1500 cases Americas are 5000 cases 【 Japan 】.
Japan is 1 case per 100000 people, and America is 9 cases 【 the incidence rate of the murder case 】.
Though it is safer and it is here, well, still a crime happens in such meaning.With a thing.
It thinks that it is awkward to be separately unchanged to be terrible in Japan and America when a woman is walking in the same direction which is the same as a, man's, coming back with the house if a man follows backward on the way which it comes back alone from to the house, too.
(? Translation soft realy work?)
A word of advice: translation software from Japanese to English (or from English to Japanese) is truly horrid. For example, write a sentence that you would normally write without any slang, translate it into English using the program, then translate the new English translation back to Japanese.
When we (native-speaking English people) attempt to translate in the same manner, we get a very bad translation. Translation software in general is useless. You should always do it with your own knowledge of the language.
If someone else would be kind enough to translate what you wrote so that it is easier to understand, it would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, I can not speak or write Japanese, so I am unable to do this myself.
Hi, I have a question about the Kimigayo national anthem. Is it just the country's national anthem, or is it a symbol of imperial/militarist past? How do you think about it? How do you think most Japanese feel about it? Would you rather have another anthem? Or do you not care?

Yawn

Greetings, Comrade.

Because it's natural in Japan, we don't understand why you need to worry when you return to home alone.
According to criminal statistics, the incidence rate of criminals in Japan is 1500 per a hundred-thousands citizens while it's 5000 in the US. The rate of muder in Japan is 1 per 100,000 while it's 9 in the US. The data shows it's safer in Japan, but there are criminals after all.
I think it's not different in both Japan and America that you fell uneasy when a stranger is behind you on your way home. Also it must be same that you feel awkward when a strange woman is walking toward the same direction as your way home.
# What do you think about my translation?
>>357
It's nothing related to militarism. Actually it's controversial that Kimigayo is officially national anthem or not.
Many thanks. That was very helpful. Y(^-^)o
Yeah, that was my pitiful attempt at ASCII art. I really need to learn how to do that stuff.

Thanks! I guess it's not the song so much as that people are forced to sing it at school and such.
and the first rape place of east Asia.
Why is the reason why the Japanese dislikes South Korea understood?
The crime number of foreign countries in Japan is taught.
It is the first place South Korea, and the second place China.
To the favor of man who is educating unabashedly telling a lie like this on
an anti-day amusing.
Most of the heinous crime of Japan is Korean residents in Japan.
Do you want to know the reason to settle in Japan?
South Korea rules by the aristocrat and is a country of the myriad
year dependancy. The woman in Britain analyzed South Korea.
It was a country where no straight educational system.
A straight layer in South Korea runs away to Canada or the United
States. Even if Japanese is spoken, it is a special treatment by the South Korea census register. I want you to return to the mother country early. It is not interested in South Korea in Japan.
However, they are persistent in an economic aim. There is a people who pretends the Japanese by the South Korea census register. It is amazed.
Example China and South Korea.
It is not interested for people.
reason,it is need to work in my life every day.
There is no thought leave.
People in east Asia that comes to do crime. Get the hard work to money!
Japan must not obtain money badly and famously indefinitely.
It is opposite to Beijing Olympics.
Human rights is not defended in Tibet.
It is cheesed.
>>365
Tibet is cheesed?
You cannot just say that it is the South Koreans causing trouble. Some of them may commit crimes, but I am sure there are Japanese people who do the same. It sounds too much like you are trying to place the blame on immigrants. (-_-)
But >>365 is right. Crime is a petty way to earn money. I have no respect for those who do.
Enough of this talk, let's go cheese Tibet.

Translation software is hardly useless. It's good for getting the gist of a text in a foreign language. Very useful when surfing foreign sites. But as a means of translating what you wrote it's a poor communication aid. Where you use it also matters. On the net a machine translated text is more acceptable on a web page than in a bbs or e-mail where people tend to get irritated by poor language.
Personally I use Google Translator for quick and dirty translations of large texts and the Rikaichan Firefox addon for short texts. Rikaichan is pretty good for beginners. It throws up suggested translations for individual words and displays pronounciation in Hiragana and sometimes Katakana. The end result is that you usually get a better grasp of the text than with full text translators.
I need to understand more about pronunciation of age in japanese. please help. i heard that they pronounce age in the multiple of ten is different compare to normal counting of multiple of ten. care to explain? if possible please help in writing in hiragana cause i'm learning japanese on my own.
I suppose what you refer is this numbering system, but it's rarely-used since it's a literary language based on ancient Japanse.
