    Umm because they are moronic and they can't understand their own lingo in the spoken sense and have to read it to clear up any misunderstanding they may have with what they just heard.

    i've also often wondered why... it might be to aid the deaf, but i suspect your explanation maybe the reason why. or alternatively, seeing it written might enhance the comedy. or maybe it's a manga connection

    Sweetheart, you don't have to change for the phone!

    Most of the nigerians are just trying to get you to their hip hop clothing shops. At least in Machida they do. If they did not have proper visas, they would not be able to rent a store and set up business. They are smarter than most of us and make a good living here.

    you're assuming they are owners of the store. it's highly possible that some other entrepreneur is the owner and the nigerians just provide the fashionably appealing front

    waterboarding references would've been more topical!

    Truth is a positive and a lie negative. Works for true things. Like 1+1=2. "It is not true!" This negative statement is a lie by definition making 1+1=2 true... which is true and follows your definitions. Now a lie. 1+1=5. "It is not true!" I do not want to believe it. A lie. Therefore it must be true. However, we know it is not.... see where it got me... confused but fun to think about.

    thanks for completely derailing the discussion

    I don't see why everybody here is surprised at how crap commercial tv programming is in Japan. I come from Canada, where it's the same except a triple dose of it: English Canadian, French Canadian and American commercial tv (easily viewable if you live near the border) is all crap.

    i don't think its the presence of cr@p that's the problem. i think its the absence of anything else

    In spite of the billions GM has received, they're about to go into bankrupcy.

    in a true capitalist system failing businesses are allowed to fail. however, not with cronyism added to the mix

    jonnyboy at 09:30 AM JST - 28th May OK, now prove that to me. Here on JT.

    i wholly agree with you regarding your original point. self-deception is a powerful thing. but are you suggesting you feel the same way about science? because if so you are suggesting that 1+1=2 is also just something that one might choose to believe. with this i disagree

    i enjoyed watching the CM at the cinema the other day with the obachan watching a film of herself being duped into a transfer and screaming at herself not to push the transfer button. just how can people be so easily gulled into doing this kind of thing?

    well i hope she can play. it's a shame that in this day and age that the ability to play is not seen as a prerequisite for being pictured holding an instrument

    What a joke. Whilst the chimpira in Shibuya and Shinjuku hassle every girl that walks past them, the politicians and the cops talk about the African guys in Roppongi. I have never felt intimidated by the African guys and they are merely doing what the Japanese catchy do all over Japan. You can even chat with those guys in Roppongi and still not feel the need to follow them. Do the cops do anything about all those chimpira around Isetan in Shinjuku ? Or the model/ AV catchy on Omotesando Dori ? This is just racism, plain and simple.

    very true. i was people watching whilst killing a little time on yasukuni dori in shinjuku the other night and if you stay in once place for a while you will see a lot of j dudes hassling girls. one guy was taking pictures of girls with a full on SLR camera, not making any attempt to be subtle about it. it's funny that you rarely hear girls complain about this, but if you're a girl in this city you must surely get hassled quite regularly.　imo the nigerians in roppongi might be irritatingly persistent but at least all they want you to do is go to a bar

    Truth is what you want to believe & a lie is what you don’t want to believe. Now try & prove me wrong & see where it gets you.

    i agree, but you're talking about subjective truth. there is also objectively verifiable scientific truth (such as the weight of an atom) which is not a matter of opinion

    supposedly body language such as looking away, touching the face, excess fidgeting are enough if you are well enough attuned. people tend to overcompensate when they're telling porkies

    i'm glad that some people on this thread are thoughtful enough to question the parents/guardians in this case. if parents aren't around to supervise their children in the evenings then it seems likely they're rarely around at all. in which case we should be spending the money looking into why parents won't, or perhaps can't spend adequate time with their kids

    until such a time this sort of action is just paper over the cracks, as it is in the uk where this was invented. it's about time we start questioning why it's so incredibly hard to raise children in our society. if doing something as basic as this isn't high on our list of priorities then i feel our priorities are totally wrong

    I just can't support this. In a time when liberal principles are demonstrably failing across the world and we are ready to user in a new era of conservativism, this seems a bit out of touch with the times.

    what on earth are you talking about?
