I think... it is much easier for us to try to be superrich rather than trying to realise a just and fair society. I'm not saying it's bad, but it's just difficult. In peace time the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. War will occur when their chasm is unbearably widened. Human history is a repetition of the mistake.

His release was realised after his lawyers asked the court three times, and he had to pay 3 million dollars in compensation. If he were convicted he would face five years imprisonment and 10 thousand dollars, so we might be able to say he 'bought' five years term by 3 million dollars.

Re:Decline Relative To Whom?

The up-and-coming countries are China, India, and possibly Brazil

Agreed.

However the up-and-coming ones are growing at unsustainable rates.

In the case of India, Brazil, it might be so. But China has been showing rapid, steady, sustainable rate of growth in economy. China is an extremely big country. And it is surprising to see such a big country shows such a double-digit figure in economic growth rate.

The only question I have is whether they will "crash" or..

Neither of these countries won't crash but Japan will. Soon -within 2 or 3 years, this country will be gulped from USA, or being already gulped?

Decline relative to whom?

Particularly relative to China, Korea. China is sure to surpass Japan in every respect soon -within 10 years.

then it diverges, i.e. goes to infinity.
In my imagination, I've got a similar conclusion. 'We cannot divide by zero.' It's a rule in mathematics. Though ambiguity still remains if we were asked this rule is derived from our empirical conviction. Almost all mathematics is firmly rooted in our empirical conviction based on our close observation to the order of things. I mean division by zero is not impossible in our daily life.

Before the advent of the Internet era, the lifestyle of almost all Japanese people were similar. They work from 9 to 7 and at home they watch the same TV program. They read the same newspaper. They were talking about the same social topic, hold the similar opinion. Always say we Japanese think, believe, act, not I. We had been feeling very secured when we put ourselves in this group psychology. They rarely thought they act because it is right. Everybody does, therefore I do. They didn't care whether it is right, or not. Our mentality was so simplified as if they ceased thinking that nobody wasn't willing to take responsibility for their act, nothing but their act. According to their criteria, they do because everybody does so.
I was one of the very few renegades in such an era. But I didn't change my lifestyle. I had been keeping my lifestyle though it was opposite to majority of Japanese people.
Time has passed. Things have been changing drastically these ten years. Preferences of people have been just diversified so we no more point out someone is different from others. People nowadays prefer to live according to their preferences. People are different essentially.
Japan's society has been changing. But in comparison to American society, still it's very conventional.
Twenty years ago I was much more particular about what Prime Minister said about national politics in a newspaper than what my friend said about politics. Now what Degree said about politics is much more worthy of than what one unknown critic said in a TV show.

For my part, I was very good at forming an image from a mere description of books, so I just didn't have to borrow a help of drawings. Also I hadn't watch TV from at age 10 to 27.

When I found some faults made by them, I do myself without telling them anything.
After I did it myself, I urge them to pay more attention to the miss I found without mentioning who made a mistake. Because someone's fault is more likely to be others' faults. This might work as a caveat. When I made a mistake, I am willing to admit that I did it. If someone pointed out that I made a mistake in other's presence, of course I am willing to accept their advice. But I do point out their mistakes in other's presence when they did. That's what I did this time.
We usually do some work in 5-7 people as a team. Everyone has their part, some play decisive parts while others play peripherals. Yet everyone is necessary to do their best to complete the work. While they are doing so, some of them subject to making a mistake. It's inevitable, human to error, however there're someone who always point out and scold other's miss.

Isn't "cohabitant" a great song?

The term wife is used for a woman that got married to me legally. So even if she doesn't live with me and haven't had sexual relationship with me, that doesn't matter. She keeps on being my wife. The term love or girlfriend is used for a woman who has sexual relationship but doesn't live with me. The term concubine is used for a woman who lives with me and has sexual relationship with me but is not married to me. The term cohabitant means a person that live with me, so cohabitant might be my wife, my mom, my dad, my kid, my servant, my grandma, my grandpa, my grandchild. Sometimes my cohabitant means a dog or a cat that lives with me.

Isn't "cohabitant" a great word?

My cohabitant gives me stability, security, and tranquility, so my cohabitant is a great person, but the word cohabitant itself has nothing to do with the greatness itself.

It was already seven or six years ago that once I lived with a woman who is very rich. I wanted to marry her and proposed her to marry me. She said, 'No, I have no merit to do so.' That's right, it was going to be a misalliance. I might have gotten a great benefit, but she would have lost many things. So for two full years, I was a sex slave, but it was a really rejoicing experience though. I admit though almost all women hope marriage. I feel remorse in my situation.

As to your song. I have just heard your song. It was a great song, you should have written the title of the comment as 'Isn't "cohabitant" a great song?' I didn't have to write such a long reply.

Very beautiful English! You can do it, I bet.

Ah Internet Cafe

Now I realised NeCafe means Net Cafe. I was wondering what NeCafe is till I stumbled over this phrase.

Formal

Thank you very much.
I don't do it any more.
In the end, their spoken language is very broken.
Basically English Slashdotters have two categories. One is those who write their English very colloquial way, and the other is those who intend to use English in academic, more authoritative, formal way. My English classified as very formal, orthodox one.
I don't use expressions that I am not sure, in other words, I only use English as long as I can say it's correct.
As to discussions in Japanese. To hear them speak Japanese, outsiders would take thier conversation for a quarrelling. --Ancient Greek Philosophers -18c Enlightenment Thinkers -Slashdotters

Re: No Problem

I've been keeping my diary in a notebook since April, 1999, and I started posting journals and comments in Slashdot since October, 2004. I have already decided not to use Japanese.
This time was sheer emergency, or rather once a rarest thing in a blue moon.

I'm expecting. As NoGood pointed out, just try! --Ancient Greek Philosophers -18c Enlightenment Thinkers -Slashdotters

Welcome. Why I feel so familiar with you while we haven't seen one another even one time. I notice how large the portion of spirit-to-spirit contact occupies in our daily life.
I am very healthy because I've been spending life free from stress by this soul communication.

Obviously your journal get more access than ever.
You will get more fans too.

Strange Figures

Of course we see these figures in your journal. I don't know what they mean. Will you tell me about them?

Re; Long Time No See!

I'm really glad to hear from you. I was always checking up your new entry.

While you were away from the site, my friends were arguing about whether I am Japanese. You see in Slashdot org. nobody doubts my nationality since they can tell my English is different from native people's. I had to speak a couple of Japanese here in order for my Japanese friends to convince where I am from. They will not cast suspicious eyes on me any more. At the same time I lost my theoretrical basis I have to write some Japanese.

Japanese language is vernacular, it's neither official nor common, let alone universal. It's based upon a family language. Therefore it is OK to transmit our feeling but it is not good for making a logical argument at all. So my insistence is we Japanese ought to use English when we need to discuss something serious. But when it comes to your comment, I like to read your Japanese, so please keep on writing it in Japanese. Of course if you try writing English comments, please do. I welcome.

Any way thanks for making a comment. You are one of the main reasons why I am here in Slado.

DC Again

Actually I've been to DC three times. It was many years ago though. It was early summer twice and late summer once, so I only saw trees with lots of green leaves.
Cherry trees change their views completely as the seasons go by. So we are unable to imagine cherry blossoms in full swing from the green leaves tree. It was only one week that we can see the blooms in full swing. So it will be very fortunate if I could visit DC again around this time of the year.

I'm Japanese

Mou minasan ayashimu no wa yamemashou.
Watashi wa Nihonjin desu.

Kedo dakaratte doutte iun darou? Nihonjin ni wa 'uchi' to 'soto' o waketekangaeru mitaina tokoro ga aru na.

Ichiou okimari no eigo de kaiteoki masu. I will write down it in English as is usual.

Interpretation: Don't give me suspicious eyes. I'm Japanese. But so what? Japanese people tend to think 'outs' and 'ins' separately.

Nare no mondai nanodarouga, jibun niwa romaji hyouki no houga wakariyasui. Kaigai no hito to nihongo ni tsuite yaritorisurukoto wa yoku aru.

Watashi wa kotoba ni tsuite warito jiyuu na kangae wo motte ite, yousuruni tsutawarebaii to omotte iru. Korejanakya yada yada towa omowanainda be.

Interpretation: This might be a matter of habit though, for me it's better to understand Romanised Japanese. I often talk about Japanese language with people abroad. Those who learn languages a little or so abroad know much more about nihongo than ordinary Japanese could imagine, -they are learning Japanese through Roman letters. I'd rather have freer idea as to language, I think it's O.K. as long as it can be communicable. I don't believe there's an absolute form for it.

A Long Way

You did almost a perfect job as to transliteration. Certainly you've got something that differs from original, sore wa sasai desu is.
It's a long way to come.

After a fashion

Ichiou okimari no eigo ni naoshite okimasu.
After a fashion, I convert it into English as a rule.

I haven't had anything particular...For more than twenty years since I gave up using Japanese, now I am better at English than Japanese...Yet my origin is sure Japan, and those works I wrote those days. I intend to a little bit stick to it and I will be a world famous burogaa -yes! the word is also Japanese!(asserted)

Personal Present For You II

It's Zen Ya. I wrote it in 1978 at age 17 and published only 1350 copies. Now almoat all are lost. I made up my mind to transcribe all my past writings -only most important ones, especially for you. Seems you are fully eligible to read my writings.

Personal Present For You

Indeed I've got many works written in Japanese. Now I started posting in Slashdot. Especially I want 'you' to read my Japanese. All are transcribed in Roman letters though, it is 'Japanese'.

At Server Room

Personal Letter To Patagon*

It was the end of the fiscal year on the 31st of March that you were working. So I thought you were working in a room a lot of people congested. You wrote you were working in a mackerel room, so I imagined as if it were a sushi with a vinegered mackerel on it packed like'like sardines', though at the moment of my coming up with the scene I couldn't recall the English term for 'server', I never mind since I ended up the expression of 'packed like sardines'. As a matter of course, I knew blue fish mean mackerel, weak fish mean sardines, just I didn't think it's important.

These are the interpretation of my post 'You meant a room packed like sardines?' It was not a joke. I thought you meant so by 'server room'.

Poesy

Yes, yes, I do. I 've seen your helping hand. -- mercedo 2006-04-04

CO2 & COZ

The reason was because it was written in manuscript. So when they write CO2 in manuscript, we couldn't understand whether it's 'COZ' or carbon dioxide. So in order to evade confusing the description, they started writing as CO2. Time goes by now is the age of the Internet, there're scarce manuscripts that is written as CO2. Now nobody confuses CO2 and COZ anymore.
COZ is a colloquial form of 'because'. --Ancient Greek Philosophers -18c Enlightenment Thinkers -Slashdotters

Around this time of the year is a turning point from long winter to short spring. People here get together under the cherry tree day and night, drinking, eating, singing, dancing, sometimes taking off their cloth people enjoy having fun. April Fool is also based upon such a jocular one.
After this season passed, again people start pursuing serious business. April Fool and Cherry Blossom Viewing, both work as an oasis in our life.

I am glad to hear that you got a new job and started a new life. Congratulations. I hope you can develop your talent fully there in your new environment.
By the way, do you think this pink lasts or stops for a short time? Is this just an April Fool joke? It's hard for me to judge.

What's This?

It was not affecting only for me.

Acceptance, Adoption, Tolerance

Politics is a result of balancing two or more interest groups, so there's no truth can be found in politics. Yeah, that's right, yet we all are influenced from various sides at the beginning, which is just an inevitable thing.

We both are raised up in different environments. You are Briton, and I am Japanese. English is your native tongue but not mine, when I was able to handle with only my native tongue and after I learned how to read and write this universal tongue, my 'truth' has been completely different from one another.

I mean there's no general truth that penetrates my entire life. I myself have repeatedly experienced in my entire life a Copernican change or other revolutionary ones, or just a paradigm shift before and after I had religion.

We tend to evaluate almost everything from our consistency in ourselves-whether something is for or agaist our 'nature of the nature' but in the first place is there any 'nature of the nature' and is it really based on purified form of reality? In you it is singular and I am hardly imagine how reality exists in singularity since I believe there are many 'truth' according as how we were raised up, how we acquired the notion of generally acceptable common knowledge.

I believe in the first place it's irrational not to say absurd for us to position ourselves in 'neutral', since we all are biased, then my conclusion-we are in the first place 'biased' so by adopting many different sources, we can mend our biased viewpoint.

Nature of the nature is something that we can't be achievable, so it is my standpoint that we can only be achievable relative truth by accepting as many sources as possible. We cannot purify the core of nature of the nature, but can make more round sphere by acceptance, adoption, that even leads to tolerance to others and other's viewpoint. It is more preferable than the core which is something unattainable.
