The beauty of the system is that (unless they flaunt it, which is generally bad taste) a professor with a PhD and a construction worker who didn't finish high school can debate toe-to-toe based purely on the merits of their arguments. Aceface: Wakayama eh? Okay, not too big a surprise. Credibility on blog threads like this is as always gained purely by what you say, rather than name value.

Nope.It's Wakayama. “I’d say the per-capita beef consumption capital would be Hokkaido.”

Nope.It’s Wakayama.

If you have a disagreement with someone on another website, don't bring it here. I delete notes when arguments get personal. KEN: I don’t care who it was.

I have an experience that the guy of the same name with you sided with the opponent of a dispute in Japan probe with degrading my comment from the reason of anonymity. Sorry. Overthinker,

I've seen tongue all over Japan actually - is it particularly famous or popular in Miyagi? Offhand, purely guessing, I'd say the per-capita beef consumption capital would be Hokkaido. “I do wonder if Miyagi people consume more beef than people in other prefectures, considering gyu-tan (cow-tounge) is a delicacy there.”

Twenty-nine percent of people from this prefecture admit to having indulged in the worldfs most annoying pastime during the last year." So 29% of people admitting to pachinko in Miyagi prefecture makes this a quirk about Miyagi? Having lived in Miyagi for a year and a half, I met nobody who openly admitted to playing pachinko. Well, I did meet a girl who worked at a pachinko parlor, but she didn't care for the game itself. There were a few big pachinko parlors on the outskirts of town, but no more than most other Japanese towns in my opinion.

Well, back in those days, noody thought rasicm was wrong- they trully believed that the white race was supreme and all other races being sub-human. In fact, I think it was like that until the civil rights movement or <em>Brown v. Board of Education</em>. One of the reasons I think accusing Japan for not apologizing for its past kind of hypocritic- like, where did human rights exist in the early 20th century?
