1)I know Hiragana is Japanese, and I've never said contradicting idea!!! hiragana is absolutely Japanese! but Kanji are not Japanese!
2) I printed a sheet a couple of days ago in which the origins of hiragana are written clearly, i mean the way they derived from kanji.
3) I've never said i want to write it all in kanji! BTW, japanese was originally written only with kanji before the development of kana so i can use kanji to write old Japanese
4) I will never think of learning Chinese since i hate the simplified chinese characters and I prefer some kanji to the traditional chinese characters (or in other words, i prefer the way japanese ppl simplified kanji into shinjitai to the way chinese ppl did)
5) No one in Japan will tolerate to read japanese with hiragana only!!! it will drive them mad!!! hiragana+no spaces= long and illegible (plus, sometimes you won't be able to get the meaning which kanji originally are meant to convey)
