I enjoy cooking, but only when I have the time to do it leisurely... Otherwise it becomes a burden!! LOL... I am good with pasta and most Western dishes... and because people tend to get sick around me (I am bad luck I guess), my congee isnt too bad either... :P Crazy Penguin, an Austrian restaurant...

@caryncyh - LOL... that is quite depressing, but beautifully written nonetheless

I'm a Malaysian currently living in Boston, MA in the United States. Oddly enough, I miss Canada the most of all the places I have lived.

I know this might be an odd question.. but what is fangirling ? Anyhow, I have to admit that I was once pretty embarrassed about it, thanks to no small amount to my immediate family... my sister even went so far as to denounce it as "bull that no one in their right mind would watch" and li...

I understand the meaning of those two quotes not as warnings of the future, but the ways in which the authors contextualise and explain war. Human history has been littered with war, death, and destruction, for that I do not refute anything. Indeed, it is war that brings about revolution and war tha...

I dont think talking about it is useless, but I must say, perhaps we should change the title to only 'racism' since I recall the title has been changed once before, why not change it again to reflect the evolution of the thread's discussion? I just think this is a great opportunity to talk to one an...

infimum, nice work. That was indeed a very enlightening article you presented and it really draws careful criticism for the author of that article. Thank you for the find, that is definitely helpful to those of us who have not actually seen or read the manga. Nonetheless, I must concede that racism ...

Robbie Williams in Supreme said: "All the best women are married, all the handsome men are gay..." =P

Cheer up, at least they have each other =) Right? Just a different take on the assessment =)

zdoon, from what you are saying, then almost all social phenomena does not need any investigation. Racism, like all emotive responses, stem from somewhere it is not simple a behaviour. What you say neglects its sources, history, and ultimately its solutions. If it were so simple then everyone should...

I personally dont see the thread going to shreds, although I admit that some views were a little extreme. But the thing about it is that these debates are supposed to generate a discussion in which all people can see that all sides have something to say and that all sides contributed to this, like n...

That is in line with the classical school of thought on humanity put forward by Beccaria and Quetelet before him, but there is always something about those theories that make me wonder. The statement reminds me of Aristotle's observation that humans, when law abiding are perhaps the best of animals,...

True, in many ways I expected Abu Ghraib and everything that has been churned out recently. Those were of no surprise to me whatsoever and I have read my European history and understand that ground warfare has an extremely ugly face... There is just something about that Highway that really sickens m...

I always thought the US dropped the bomb because they wanted to experiment its effects on actual human subjects just as they did with their own troops. I knew the US was racist, but didnt think it was racist enough to motivate such a cruel act. Do you think then, that the motivation for the Highway ...

i'm glad the japanese got bombed during WW2. I'm sorry so many innocent civilians got hurt but that act was required. I've always lurked, but I had to jump into this topic. Whether you pacifists like it or not, the atom bomb ended the war far earlier than otherwise. It took Japan something of that ...

It seems the white expansionist mentality really worked... Yea, it is true that white always tend to come out on top of the mental racial food chain, especially the idealised white male, which was at one point almost made a science embodied in the principles of eugenics. Its still expanding, albeit ...

Perhaps SouSu is trying to say that Japan and all the other Asian nations are too obsessed with occurrences of the past? I have to agree a little bit with this sentiment, although we should also hail aNToK's warning quote and remember that to some degree we cannot let the past simply disappear, ther...

Thanks for sharing! =) Although personally speaking, I never saw the big deal with Koizumi visiting the Yasukuni Shrine. I really think that it has been blown way out of proportion. He is merely honouring and paying his respects to the people who have given their lives for the country. Sure there ma...

First J-Drama I watched was Long Vacation when I was in Hong Kong. It wasnt dubbed but subbed instead on Pearl, one of Hong Kong's english channels. That was when it all started =)

You know what I always find funny? That in Western countries people generally want to look tanned and in Oriental countries people usually want to look white... It just seems funny because it seems as if we really believe the grass is greener on the other side. Just sharing what I always thought was...

It is about happy people! I'm happy and everyone seems happy! HAPPY! =D

I agree, I hope this thread would allow people from both sides to better understand each other. I was in Shanghai during the disquiet over boycotting Japanese goods and all the hoopla over the Japanese history textbook issue. It was blown completely out of proportion, that is why I often find myself...

Haha, no time to keep up with TV nowadays but I used to watch OC

More of a gamer though, so games over TV are my way to go =P haha

Sorry to disappoint, but I am not gay either, but there was this one guy who liked me.... and my mom and sister did believe I was gay at one point... My mom even got my magazines scantily dressed females to try and get me straight, which was the oddest and most messed up conversation I ever had with...

Wow, pokute, you really are increasing my reading list by a bit today!... Noted =)

Just like the government to deny almost everything huh, SHD? You just reminded me, Bush in China was pretty funny, how he tried to make a quick exit but was trapped by locked doors? That was so funny... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4454738.stm I really wonder if he is really stupid or he ...

I only hope that there will be a day when people can finally stop drawing lines and labelling everyone that they are unfamiliar with. I always hoped that the 2002 World Cup would strengthen Japanese-Korean relations. The funny thing about all of it is that the three aforementioned cultures share so ...

Steam... I am not glad that anyone was bombed, murdered and otherwise meaninglessly killed. The loss of lives is massive and the people killed were composed of non-combatants. Total war can never be justified just as terrorism cannot be justified either. I wish people would stop happily thinking abo...

Wow pokute, you have friends in high places it seems. I admire Churchill for speaking out in a time when the nation seemed so strongly united into a false conception. Deeply biased, but widely respected nonetheless. I think the US needs a strong voice like his as well as other scholars to move forwa...

teamFun

I will have to read those, thanks for the recommendations pokute. =) For a very dark and stinking account of what the US have undertaken in the past, "On the Justice of Roosting Chickens" by Ward Churchill makes a fairly good read. This is a heavily biased piece however, so readers beware....

In many ways I am disgusted at what I just read. I have defended the Japanese many times against the racist Chinese comments and now I intend to defend the Chinese and Koreans against the racist Japanese comments. A dialogue of understanding needs to be established, it is saddening that people can o...
