Concept of figures
Sep 11, '07 3:00 AMfor everyone
One of uncivilised people used to count the number as 1, 2, many. For them three and one hundred didn't make difference. They would have agreed to exchange three silver coins and almost unlimited land.
We ordinary people grasp the numbers of one to nine in each different figures. But one genius can grasp the number in each different shapes, and he can calculate answer by multiplication done by their shapes. So he can automatically calculate like 78623 X 1984778 by forming two figures together.
I assume some might be almighty.

Mono culture
Sep 11, '07 2:04 AMfor everyone
Monopoly or oligarchy in economy is so common. How about monarchy? United Kingdom & Japan's political system are constitutional monarchy. How about monotheism? Overwhelming people around the world are believers of monotheistic religions. How about monogamy? Monogamy is only allowed form of marriage in Western civilisations. Virtually one party - Liberal Democrats has been ruling Japan's politics for half a century. The influence of one language has been expanding a lot.

Privilege
Sep 8, '07 2:43 AMfor everyone
Religious people often say 'it's our privilege to serve our God'. So I asked him if the use of the word 'privilege' is strange. After a second he replied, saying ' actually it's not a privilege, because nothing gain from it.
Honest.

Religion and tolerance
Sep 8, '07 2:23 AMfor everyone
I think most important teaching in religion is being tolerant.Yet I found religious people are not tolerant. They only accept the world according as they believe in.
They try to exclude other than what they believe.I want religious people to know what the essence of religion is.
Maybe it's possible because they are 'religious'

Between scylla and charybdis
Sep 8, '07 1:20 AMfor everyone
Labour cost in China is much cheaper than Japan. Japan's company has them do many manual jobs. American products are more excellent than Japan's product. More and more people are inclined to start using American products.
Japan as a country has already disappeared. Although it might take some time for people to realise it.

Double agent

Nothing more heinous than the crimes committed by those who ought to control crimes. They ought to be punished more severely. Because they not only damaged people or property but directly gained profits from them.

Psychology of wearing 'leggings'
Sep 5, '07 2:02 AMfor everyone
Today I noticed leg-ins are a part of undies. Probably she's eager to show her undies to attract men, but in reality of course she can't. Instead she makes her desire satisfied by showing her leg-ins, which is a extension of her undies.

Death of French cinema
Sep 3, '07 2:45 AMfor everyone
My wife and I went out to watch the movie. We were watching Taxi 4. That's a Luc Besson film. In my understanding he was a good director who is good at making an interesting film. We left the theatre after 45 minutes.

One of my relatives came to my house and keep on staying for a couple of months, without working. She said she can't work because of illness.
No. You can't work. That's your illness.

Raison D'etre
Sep 3, '07 2:25 AMfor everyone
Wicked people find their raison d'etre to be wicked, and ordinary people find their raison d'etre to be ordinary.
Therefore they never cross. The wicked keep on doing harm on ordinary citizen.

Bureaucrats versus ministers

In Japan unfortunately the real power is firmly gripped by bureaucrats. Ministers change, bureaucrats never change.

Bible harmonises

Bible harmonises because not harmonised parts were excluded from Bible.Bible harmonises, which is tautology.

Baptism by fire
Sep 1, '07 3:49 AMfor everyone
It occurs to me baptism might correspond to destruction by God. Baptism by water corresponds to Deluge and baptism by fire might correspond to Armageddon.
Just the thought.

Literal translation
Sep 1, '07 3:37 AMfor everyone
Literal translation doesn't work.
English term 'Good morning' is literally means 'yoi -good, asa -morning'But nobody here understand if someone say 'yoi asa', which literally means 'good morning'
Instead we use the term 'Ohayo' which literally means 'It's early'But nobody in America would understand if one of them said 'It's early' instead of saying 'Good morning'
Translation requires meaning to meaning, not word to word.
I feel it's derisive when someone insist some translation is accurate because it's word to word.

True Superstition
Sep 1, '07 3:24 AMfor everyone
20 years ago in America.
One very old woman told me someone who opens umbrella in a room will be suffered from unhappiness for three years and it's true.
True superstition?
She must have wanted to say that the superstition is true. Not the contents of the superstition is.

The truth about Asashoryu
Sep 1, '07 3:01 AMfor everyone
Asashoryu is a Mongolian Sumo wrestler who got a highest title.
He was absent from one trivial series and Sumo association accused him of not attending the series, prohibiting his playing two important series.
He was reported as mentally ill, and this is said to be the absence from the trivial series. This is not true. He is completely sane.What makes him nervous was the decision of Sumo association that prohibited his playing two consecutive series. It was Sumo association that made him sick.

Angel of light
Sep 1, '07 1:54 AMfor everyone
In two different parts of Japan -Oga peninsula and Yokohama, the scene of unidentified flying object was video-recorded. One recorded in Oga peninsula was like a rolling sphere of light, and the other taken in Yokohama was like a stingray swimming in the sky and the size of the shape changed one to five times bigger. I recall the shape of Seraph's flying.

Pleasure Boat
Aug 29, '07 4:02 AMfor everyone
On the last Sunday I went to one university where test for social insurance solicitor took place with a friend who took this teat.We arrived at 8:30 in the morning. She's going to take this test until 16:40, so I needed to kill time until then. I went to the famous Wajiro lagoon near the university. I walked and walked along with the lagoon under the extremely strong sunshine. I was the only who dared to do under such a extreme sunshine. I got tanned very much.I was the only one on the land side, but on the bay there're three pleasure boats that were playing ski on the water. Some of a young girl wearing bikini shouting very loud, which was of course seemed very fun.It takes nothing to walk along with the beach. It takes a lot of money to play on the water. I felt envious, to tell the truth.Back in my home, I learned one of the people who were playing ski on the water accidentally drowned to death. He was drunk and dropped from the pleasure boat accidentally when someone cut the direction sharp.The news report revealing that he was a member of self defence force.
