		<description>Ooooook then captain. Whatever you say. Just what nation are you talking about? And from where abouts do you come sir/madam? Clearly, your years of post-doc research didn&#039;t teach you how to make sense when conversing with others. 

Encouraging my nation to be a bunch of narrow minded bigots.. Hmm.. I&#039;d like to see where I was doing that. Is it because of the silly gaijin jokes? Or the silly little girl playing &#039;Japanese sub-culture vulture&#039;? Tell us how you really feel VS.</description>

I can only hope my future wife, whomever that may be, will be as generous enough to follow me around with a leaf blower to fill my rubber suit with air. That&#039;s what I like to call love.</description>

		<description>Isn&#039;t stating that you are &#039;trying to broaden a few narrow minds&#039; an example of a &#039;major holier than thou attitude&#039;?

Perhaps you should just worry about yourself. Generalizing an entire nation as not being open to change is pretty narrow minded in and of itself. With all that post-doc research you have I&#039;d think you&#039;d have known better than to boil things down to generalizations. If you don&#039;t have any helpful suggestions to change things, don&#039;t speak up. 

K thx bi.</description>

		<description>Just trying to broaden a few narrow minds.

I spent three years doing post-doc research at UT-IMCB and grew really really really tired of a small number of Japanese people that walked around with a major &quot;holier than thou&quot; attitude.

For a Country that has it&#039;s fair share of major social/economical/governmental problems, you&#039;d think they&#039;d be a bit more open to change, since it&#039;s obvious that continuing on with the status quo certainly isn&#039;t working very well.</description>
