Am I the only one who doesn't understand what this post is saying?

Not true, and an oversimplification. Look at sub-Saharan Africa. Population is off the charts but economic growth is basically flat or nonexistent. It is effectively negative if you consider decreases in GDP per capita; so even if GDP remains flat, if per capita GDP falls, you have effective...

Many Japanese women do not work. They are also ridiculously educated. So you have a potentially high-skilled workforce that is culturally delegated to either keeping up the home or serving tea to guests. No wonder none of them want to marry or have kids. This obviously has a negative impact on...

You have an odd sense of what karma is. A few days of this stuff, vs. on mainland China there are people who live in these conditions on a daily basis. If you go back in Asian history beyond the myopic 60 years that most people focus on Asian countries have been duking it out for centuries...

I attended this twice. There were no topless women or naked people. A lot of cross-dressers and race queens, though. Plenty of children. It is a fertility festival after all.

Only if you are naive enough to believe the hysterics of the media. Are relations at an all-time low? Yes. Are they so low that we will see missiles flying back and forth? Hardly. The Chinese government employs 50,000 people to monitor the Internet. You don't think, in a country of a billion...

A *bit* like an alarmist? Saying you don't think war is likely on one hand, but then making pronouncements with the other that staying clear of the eastern Asia-Pacific region is a good idea. Making cold war analogies on one hand, then saying nothing actually happened with the other. The...

[/B] Oh, please. Turn up your oxygen. They are not stupid enough to go to war over these islands, despite the massive amounts of natural resources (allegedly) held underneath the waters. There are simply incentives to do so. China's economy growth is slowing and they are currently in the...

Have you ever actually been to Japan? Methinks not. You don't get "beaten up on the street for saying Japan was aggressor during WWII." That is, unless you happen to parade your opinion in front of a bunch of Japanese nationalists (i.e. fringe wackos). Neither is it illegal to be a Nazi in...

No credit card = no purchase. This is online shopping 101.

110% fail.

Doesn't look particularly uncensored to me.

The archives in the OP are demanding a password. What's the PW?

Wasn't the entire purpose of "rebranding" for her to get away from the more risque stuff? Seems like she's come full circle.

The French are doing the same thing. Protectionism ho! (It's a BAD thing, if you didn't realize). This is ridiculous because this burgeoning minority represents Japan's greatest opportunity for demographic growth.

Can't remember where I got this one...found it when deleting a ton of my old "material." http://rapidshare.com/files/205914814/melin_chunk_1.avi http://rapidshare.com/files/205918765/melin_chunk_2.avi http://rapidshare.com/files/205924603/melin_chunk_3.avi

This guy is my hero... While the revisionist Japanese essay doesn't amuse me at all, this is just hilarious.

These last couple of suggestions are like trying to sculpt Mt. Rushmore with a chisel. It is much better and easier to simply take the approach of banning cash links entirely than trying to define "what" constitutes a legitimate cash link and what does not. Too much work for mods.

What's your point? Yes, poverty lines vary. But the mistake to make is to compare one to the other and conclude that one person must be comparatively better off than the other. A pauper in the United States would not live like a king in rural China. Yes, the US pauper may have a slightly longer...

Japan is largely seeing the multiple effects of a economy stagnant for the better part of two decades, coupled with increasing international competitiveness and a shift from a manufacturing to a service economy, as well as a few cultural upheavals, including a quite radical drop in population, a...

Uhh...no idea what your use of "strife" is, but Japan has one of the highest costs of living (the cities, anyway) in the world. And no, you will not be able to get by working in a restaurant (unless you are in management).

There are a ton of thriving forums around the web where people post things without linkbucks or garbage like that. Add to that a ton of these "I'm so poor!" trolls don't even upload, they just leech off of others' links.

Don't give me that "oh, I'm so poor, help me!" nonsense. You obviously have enough money to afford a PC, internet access, AND you know some English. P.S. I would upload but when your upload throughput is 20k/sec it's kinda hard. I do what I can. And I sure don't use other peoples' sites as a...

You're pretty audacious to speak on behalf of other members and not only yourself...not only predicting the future. Plenty of people posted torrents and files BEFORE linkbucks and they will once it is banned (hopefully). There are thriving forums across the Internet that don't have linkbucks in...

I am getting tired of getting 30x popups and ten million ads every single time I get hit with a linkbucks redirect. It's annoying, pointless, and frankly, a major hassle. It is a waste of time and frankly, an insult to Akiba, making money off the shoulders of what is essentially SOMEONE ELSE'S...

Thanks for all the vids! Uta Aino (JKS-034) continually produces errors when I attempt to unrar. I've tried re-downloading all the parts and re-concatenating them to no avail. Am I the only one with this problem or can anybody else confirm? Everything else works.

Nobody says "ketsu no ana." That would be like saying "hole of the ass" in English. We say "asshole," so the Japanese say "ketsuana."

What, you've never seen porn with a lion in it before?

A fair number of foreigners have managed to make it into Japanese companies and eke out a living simply because they did the obvious: they learned Japanese. And I don't mean just the sort of Japanese you need to read manga, I mean the whole nine yards. Kanji, honorifics, etc. True, there is an...

...Whatever the bloody hell you do, DON'T spend the night on the mountain in one of those shacks. They will charge you ¥5000 for sleeping in Auschwitz-style accommodations, complete with smelly, sweaty, dirty hikers sleeping on top of filthy mattresses. Not to mention you'll pony up ¥100 every...

Cheaper. If you are White or Black, not completely ugly, Go to Gas Panic in Shibuya or Roppongi. Buy a drink, wait for a girl to come up and talk to you, take her home. End of story.

Minami-senju is far safer than any Western equivalent, but that doesn't stop it from being a seedy area of Tokyo. Past Ueno you enter the shadier areas with love hotels by the dozen, not particularly surprising since historically the area was a red light district about a century and a half ago...

Whatever gives you the idea that they're already uploaded?

Would there be any interest in me starting a JAV direct download thread? My other one (in my signature) has gone over well but I was wondering if there was enough interest to make it worth the effort. I'd concentrate mainly on the ones getting the most pageviews in the JAV forum...or whatever...

The particles are probably the most difficult part to get down - I've seen fourth year Japanese students who still have trouble getting them all right.

That should be "nihongo WO benkyo shimasu" or..."nihongo WO benkyo shimashou." :P

Minami-senju is is one of the worst parts of Tokyo. It's one of those stations PAST Ueno heading into Ibaraki and Chiba. Of course most places like that advertise how "close to Asakusa" they are - but Asakusa is far more upscale by comparison. For those of you oscillating between $20 a night and...
