I'm with tkind2 on this, the girls I'd met (note past tense) in dresses so tight they had to be be born in them were for the most, vapid with a bar set so high as to be unattainable. 'I wanna kind man' 'richu desu' 'fabulously handsome' and 'devoted to little old Gina moi'. yeah ... like be my guest and do dream on. many had developed a chronic drinking habit and with gravity working on them, as it does with us all, getting pretty edgy about futures after 35. One can take the girl out of the bar, but not necessarily the bar out of the girl is how a friend put it...

Here's a real opportunist if ever I saw one. Does he have a point? Sure, and he milks it for millions. This guy reeks of just that; opportunism and he lives very high on the hog from it thank you very much.

Not to mention the environmental havoc wreaked by the introduction of foreign species, especially insects. Potentially lethal red-back spiders in Japan are now a real problem. So exterminate them? Highly unlikely ... I can't remember the figures, but this is now a serious problem everywhere and a huge threat to developed countries in particular.

Beaujolais is cat's piddle... Just damn dreadful wine and as the Japanese really still don't know much about wine, have cultivated a third-class supermarket drop as something 'special'. A ways to go Nippon ...

My bet is they kick back with a few drinks at night, trawl through the board at JT and have a good laugh. My other bet is that she's not playing 'I got you under my skin'. Odd photo as so many have said. Nonetheless nice people, forced to live in a goldfish bowl every waking day all their lives.

Cases of patients being 'turned away' from hospitals is not unique to Japan at all. I've read of this in NZ and Australia quite recently ... As for running the risk of not having a pension, and I write this because it's just too stupid to consider that anyone would take a risk on medical, one can only wonder why? Never heard the ant and grasshopper story? life has a way of suddenly turning the tables and kicking people in the bum ... and hard, be careful.

A couple of times I've made the mistake of remonstrating with them because I'm sincerely interested in learning new things. They're not... and neither are they interested in discussion, never concede a point nor interested in anything much save harassing people with glib talk about 'free English lessons' or any other means to rope in new converts. The golden tablets and the 'magical spectacle's by which they were read are the clincher. What an absurd belief system.

Who said anything about 'female' gropers? I've been waiting for a grope to come my way from a female for years. The lonely hours on the Yamanote line, evening skipping the station to do another circuit in lame hope ... Seriously, a published rogues gallery would do a lot to alleviate this problem. A kind of; 'this weeks crime capers' with pictures if you will?

Like it? I like it just fine. I'm happy enough to let it be there and entertain, just not sure what the statement (if any at all?) is supposed to be.

LoveUSA: Touche... A pretty ordinary art comment by this fellow and 'whoosh' is the sound it's meaning makes as it goes over my head. Claes Oldenberg started this idea making giant sculptures of ordinary things in the 60s and 70s. towering clothes pegs, giant hotdogs etc., so this is not even very original.

ladies and gentlemen, may we have your attention please? there's a beef going on here in the JT sandbox. Like most 'beefs' it'll get out of hand and remain unresolved but let me say this: tattoos=bad? Now say what? the word I used was 'dumb'. I'll give you this, you're good at misquoting.
I can see from your comments that you're a man of unusual largess and to your, fictional perhaps, daughter your tolerance is amazing? I think we've crossed swords before with you using a different moniker ... Forget about that, if I'm to resolve point (some of which may be off the mark, but I'll admit that) it cannot be done on a forum such as this. I'm being asked to define 'cultures' Come in sucker is the phrase we use with these traps. No, that's impossible but as I've said to you; play with a straight hand or not at all. Volunteer some personal experiences of people with tattoos that you've know, for example?
If you do in fact 'have' a daughter I apologize but I think actually perhaps you don't, nor do you have much of life's teaching experiences. Sorry if I'm wrong, but that is very much the drift I smell here...
Moderator: Please omit the verbal duels and references to other readers' daughters and keep your posts on the topic.

mattias78: I'm back from my walk and I've decided something. Yes! I'm going to get a tattoo. The entire top of my head in black, and it's gonna look good! No more worries about the old head. Peace to you, too... You're a good sport.

Mattias78: People with unusual interests make the world a vibrant place. No argument there. They're important in fact. Tattoos are permanent, flesh isn't. The world is full of people who regret getting these things and I've met plenty. So you go right ahead and 'stoke' yourself a little more. It's Sunday and I'm about tattooed out but believe me, when the boot is on the other foot and you have a son or daughter as pretty yet vapid as this one, you'll think differently. Can't judge a book by its cover? Don't you believe it for blue moment... Alertness to forms reveals heaps and yes, it's sometimes wrong but not usually. So I'm turning off my 'judgement' and my computer and going out to think about pleasant things. Stoke yourself onwards by all means.

Actionman:There are many was to form an opinion about a person's (for want of a better word) intelligence. Tattoos are undoubtedly one. Bones through the nose another ... and that one or cannot get CT scans has neither been confirmed nor denied with any data so as an old fart, I fall on the side of cannot, sorry.
Let me give you anther little piece of 'narrow minded' advice chum. When you son or daughter arrives home either with a nice tattoo of her beau on her bum or a bum for a beau with tatts inked wildly on his let me say his, neck. Then we'll decide and see who holds the cards in the debate.
