        I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

          Yeah, more japanese would be nice. Indians would be ok too, but what this place really needs are pakis

Their own Internet community is sufficient to provide for all their needs- which is not the case of many other countries, whose surfers end up learning English and joining the Western/English part of the Internet.

            I believe we see a similar trend with the Americans: there are very few American posters in non-English discussion boards throughout the web.

            Yup. I keep thinking i should go to french boards to polish my french, but never do.

              Anyone here speak japanese? Compared to other foreign (to non-native speaker) lanquages, is it hard to learn?

                  --"Well you know things are bad when the Koreans mock the Japanese for having bad English."

                  Heh. I haven't seen that, but it does bring up a point about face. The ones that do post on English forums are going to be the ones pretty confident in their English knowledge.

                  We don't have many Chinese posters around either, do we?

                  --"Anyone here speak japanese? Compared to other foreign (to non-native speaker) lanquages, is it hard to learn?"

                  I speak a little. It's actually fairly straightforward compared to most other languages I'm at all familiar with (overall it's simpler than French or Spanish, except as far as the subtleties of politeness levels go). The big problem comes when you're trying to read and write it, which is very difficult, and why there probably aren't many non-Japanese posting on Japanese language forums.

                      Not that I want to patronize you, but it would be a very nice thing to do. It's the Internet that taught me English from the beginning.

                          The Japanese are not culturally isolated. Just go play Gunbound and they're all over it.

                            I was listening to an online friend talk about the way Japanese play Tribes2. From what I gathered from that discourse, they have very different ways of doing things online.

                              I wouldn't believe everything that the Koreans tell you, especially when the subject is Japan...
