I am not continually making threads about this sort of thing, Rich. So your picture means nothing.
StriderKyo: we know you're obsessed with becoming Japanese.

Man, you have no IDEA. Every night I pray to the ghost of Hirohito, begging that I wake up Japanese. One day, I too would like to work 6 12 hour days a week. That would be so awesome. Affordable real estate? Bah! Urban home ownership is for weak-kneed gaijin who will never know the true joys of hour and a half commutes.Quote:

And does it get any better than being locked into a single company for my whole life? I should think not! Who needs career mobility when I can stay in one job where advancement is based on seniority and familial ties? Rock!
And individualism? It'll be the ruination of us all! Undermines society's harmony, I say. No thank you. If I'm in a class and I don't understand something, it's my fault. Asking a question would bring shame to the teacher and question his ability.
Of course, there's always food - $8 cups of coffee and $20 for a lb of ground beef? Bring it on!
Man I wish I was Japanese, cavorting with green-haired schoolgirls in flowing meadows, while jolly Turbografx tunes play in the background. Is there a better existence than the eternal anime-wonderland that is the Japanese lifestyle? No sir, I should think not.
EDIT: Your comeback still made no sense in context, btw.
Eh...it wasn't a comeback. It was a statement of fact, nothing more.
