Guest Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 I have some friends who have been to Japan and say that the Japanese are a mysterious mix of being both patriotic and nationalists. Can anyone enlighten me on this? PS My friend also told me something about "JR Ski Ski" - what on earth is that? Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 what exactly is 'mysterious' about that mix? Sounds like most people from most countries I know (and lord do I hate it!). Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 0 Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Surely patriotism and nationalism are two sides of the same coin. Therefore it isn't really a "mysterious mix" [This message has been edited by Matt (edited 14 June 2002).] Link to post Share on other sites
