Why don't you tell us what your thoughts are on this topic, since you evidently have something in mind?

Baka Gaijin, I was reffered to once, by some walking by business middle aged Nips whilst I was sitting in a Mall in Kyoto, waiting for someone.

Baka Gaijin basically means, dumbass white trash foreigner.

Now what did i do to deserve that?

Am I dumb because I was in a country surrounded by xenophobic ass clowns? They said it out loud, and obviously didnt think I would understand what they said, me being a dumb gaijin and all, and how many more of them only thought it?

I was dumb for being in their shitty, polluted over-crowded country. Thanks Nips.

I've noticed "the nips are getting bigger". I find it rather humorous that they'll end up as fat as the US.

You are right about their racist attitudes however. Naturally they are subservient to the same causal reactions as us, as any being.

The whole point of being a being is to fight against the universe, and that is why buddhism and enlightenment will always fail and so to will the human race or any race of beings. One tries to find synergies with those most like them, and in doing so they form barriers with those not so quite like them. When a barrier occurs there will always be some circumstances in which one must attempt to destroy that barrier as part of one's fight against temporariness.

The Chinese word for China is "Middle Kingdom", I believe. The same human custom says earth is the centre of the universe, and that humans are divine creations.

Jamesh is right in that it's not just the Japanese that have this world-view. Most humans have very brittle, fragile egos.

It's really no use pushing on with enlightenment, if one's ego is brittle. It needs strengthening first. Otherwise its neediness will prevent seeing the world as what it is.

Being honest about what one is experiencing can be difficult for some people.

I liken a brittle ego to a huge gash of a ravine through the mind. Perhaps it is there because one's parents never satisfied one's needs as a child, or perhaps from a trauma early in life. All the streams of one's thoughts end up heading down the ravine.

The solution is: find out what exactly is the "attractive message" that is creating this mental hurt. It will soon be less painful to face, as one learns to find other messages more attractive, which are more in line with one's spiritual goals.

But, don't force it.

Give me an example of the attractive message. Is it like "I want to be respected" or "I want to be beautiful"?

Yes, like that. "I want/need..." is the key.

The individual can find out what the psychological messages are. And then make up some rational alternatives.

For instance:

Someone who's driven by a need to avoid impending doom, might find he's driven by a selfish parent's influence. To get back in tune with Nature, that person could think, "Nature has no intrinsic purpose, so there is no duty to do anything..."

One may have built relationships, purely on the basis of "sick messages". Making up rational alternatives will take a bit more effort.

Better, though, to heal the sickness, than to keep feeding its nonsense.

I don't think this phrase conveys the right message. "Making up" rational alternatives is only justifying the self's needs and desires. Actually thinking in the larger perspective is different. The end result may not be outwardly visible, but it is a matter of living more truthfully.

So, are you suggesting a rational alternative, to my statement, or not?

Yes, as I indicated above - to actually think in the larger perspective. To think from the begining "what is the most rational perspective to take on this matter" rather than "where am I? What do I want? Okay, now how to I make something rational out of this?" If one finds one's self in the "what do I want" level of falling for the duality, one should simply remove that thought, and start over.

A psychologically stable person will naturally do this, anyway. The truth is, there's perhaps only a handsful of such people on earth.

One whose thoughts continue to stream towards some need, is probably suppressing those needs. Those needs are screaming for attention, but for some particular reason (known to the individual), he chooses not to pay any attention. Thinking about the bigger picture just isn't an option, until he sorts things out within his own psyche.

But if you think about it, paying attention to one's own mind is ultimately about thinking about the bigger context. For an ego that is ready-to-snap, and continues to need to re-assert itself, many small steps of self-image-strengthening are needed. Eventually it will get to feel more at ease with itself, and, if it is still inclined to philosophy, can look at the bigger picture with its whole being.

Kunga sounds African, are you one of those black-skinned people. No wonder you are siding with those wretched slanty-eyed gooks.

Yes prince dear, I find you very amusing ...in a perverse way. I usually laugh at your jokes, but it's a wry, naughty laugh and is often accompanied by a tinge of guilt..

Are you suggesting your forebears were any less sympathetic to the Aborigines?

When I was in high school I had this bloody south-african teacher called Mr. Maritz.
He would give us some work to do, then stride out to the hallway and smoke a cigarette, he did this two or three times every lesson.

His smoke would waft into the classroom, and I hated the smell of smoke at that time, so I hated Mr. Maritz, too. I loathed having to go to his classes, breathe his stinky smoke, and what's more he liked to pick on I, prince, because I subtly ridiculed him and his inane robotic teaching methods.

I thought about complaining about his smoking, but the Principal (get it, the Principal! he was no prince and no pal) didn't like me so I knew it would come to go no good.

With your high-pitched xenophobic barking, and drooling over girls, something tells me Carmel would be disappointed to find herself dreaming lustily about you. Did you find your flaccid pick-up line in a dementia caberet?

No, it's not vindictivness. I was teasing you both for the dementia patient impersonations.



Did you engage in combat with asians, or are you using anti-Japanese feelings to shape anger at something else, which Japanese people remind you of? Either way, it's thinly veiled, unjustified racism in its present form. Can't you do any better?
