Last Samurai is a bloody good film.

Today our family are preparing food parcels to send to our friends in Tokyo. It is the duty of the International Community to assist in this time of Crisis. And I'm not talking about useless government actions, I talking about ordinary people coming together to help. And as far as I know refugee status does not require you to have a Visa.

This video is by nuggetsoftruth and is an accurate representation of Ireland at present. If we can get a strong Japanese influence into our Beautiful Country we can work together to build a new Republic.

Okay, so visas may not be required.... Do you speak Japanese and are willing to interpret for the entire nation? Are you rich and are willing to pay for the relocation of 127,000,000 people? I surely hope this was a vague attempt at humor, because anything else is just rubbish, well-intentioned as it may be....


btw, I can copy and paste too!

The point I am making is that there is such a grey area[when is somebody a weaboo and when aren't they] not to mention being a weaboo isn't the worst thing you could possibly be;just don't hate.

I'm ging to go for... any amount of delusional admiration towards Japan and it's people or any part of it's culture will make the cut...

And it's messed up, a problem, which should be corrected, or taken advantage of and exploited for tourism lol

PS: Wings, nice Avatar.

And my point is, the movie is a great example of not only creative liberty at its finest in a historical peace, but also right up a weeaboo's alley when put into context.

I personally despise weeaboos, but of course that's my opinion. They make a mockery of Japanese culture and I find it offensive, as well as many Japanese people.
