I think you may be a little sensitve if you're offended by the word "republic" Link to post Share on other sites

JA2340 16 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I'm offended by "reality" TV shows. There's nothing real about shows like 'survivor', etc. What a waste of electricity. Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Good god, you don't mean you actually watch them! You're dead right on that, JA, a good horsewhipping is in order for whoever thought up that idea. I'm with Chriselle; there's not a lot that offends me, but plenty that pisses me off: people who try to get into the train the second the doors open instead of waiting for others to get off first; people who see you waiting for a taxi and walk 10 meters uproad from you and grab the next cab (that should be a capital crime with execution permitted on-the-spot); people (since this is SnowJapan) who scrape their way sideways down a powder field.

You're dead right on that, JA, a good horsewhipping is in order for whoever thought up that idea. Actually not, but I get to see the adverts for them between shows I want to watch, and just in passing between stations (they NEVER have the same time as the rest of the world! and that gives me the irrits!)

Go Native 70 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 What annoys and offends me enormously is the attitude of many foreigners (and Japanese) that those of us born overseas who live here are just 'guests' in this country and we should just accept the way things are and conform to the culture. I've been here 5 years, I have bought a house and other property, I've paid all my taxes and had my first child here and have no plans of ever leaving so I most certainly do not consider myself simply a guest! And I'm definitely offended that it's going to take around 10 years for my wife and myself to get permanent residency because we're not married to a Japanese citizen.

indosnm 0 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 GN, I hate to say that once you get your PRv nothing will change besides the stamp in your visa. On the flip side, it's been great to see how accepted my wife has been into the aussie culture and people don't think of her as Japanese (which is good because of this silly sea shepherd crap) Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 And how is this? Offensive? Learn to have a laugh and find the facts before whinging. Americans need a good kick up the ass. Next it will be offensive to say that most Japanese like sushi! http://www.smh.com.au/world/kfc-pull-cricket-ad-after-race-row-20100107-lw54.html?autostart=1 Link to post Share on other sites

So my ability to continue living here won't be so precarious as it is now. I know it won't actually mean we're anymore accepted, we'll always be 'outsiders' no matter what, but it'll be nice to know they can't just kick us out of the country on a whim.

thursday 1 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 reminds me of the Blues Brothers. John Belushi walks into Aretha's cafe and asks for a whole fried chicken and Dan Acroyd asks for just white bread. Damn, hidden messages in there. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 TB I think most of them really do struggle with the concept there are any other people on the planet who are not American or at least don't think exactly the same way as Americans do. Link to post Share on other sites
