I'm in school Actually I'm in school and not working though I will be working one way or another within the next month or so. I'm going to Kai. They have a speech contest school wide on March 8th and every student is required to write something whether or not they want to appear in the contest. I haven't decided if I want to be in it or not. Monday my class will pick which student will represent our class. There were other students in my class that wanted to present so I feel I should let them as I have no special desire to do so myself but I think I probably have the most interesting speech posted by greggmanFebruary 28, 2002 at 10:45 [ e ]

Well done Gregg What were peoples' responses to this? posted by anon_anonymousApril 30, 2002 at 21:17 [ e ]

Speech Responses Depending on the country, most of the classmates didn't know that was what the lyrics of 1/4 of Western pop music is about.  But, on the topic of the differences in attitudes/thoughts about sex I didn't get many responses really.  The discussion pretty much broke down into "is sex important", "which comes first, sex then love, love then sex".  "is sex an expression of love or something else". etc... Since that time I've talked to one Korean woman who claims that at least in Korea, most people wait till they are married.  It's quickly changing in large part because of cheap video cameras making it easy to make porn and also because of the net making it easy to view porn. But she also said that public affection of pretty much any kind is not acceptable in Korea.  She also said that discussing anything about sex with anybody, even your best friend, is off limits.  She showed me an article about the top 5 honeymoon worries for Koreans which were pretty interesting in how big of a culture difference there is between Korea and say most of America. I don't remember all of them but a few for women were something like What if I drink too much at the wedding party and pass out before bed Should I keep my makeup on since otherwise it will be the first time he's seen me without it. Should we leave the lights on or off Before we do it, should we take a shower together or separately For Men they were something like Will I through my actions reveal that I've done this before Will I find out she's not a virgin Will I be able to find it since I have no experience She claimed that even though this list was printed in the magazine most Koreans would not discuss it with each other.  I asked, "you mean if you were in the same room with your bestfriend and you read this you would not ask them about it?"  She said basically, yes, she would not bring it up.  To bring it up people would think she was a *bad* girl. posted by greggmanMay 2, 2002 at 13:12 [ e ]

title virtuastriker3 ①一般的に今までアメリカ人は理想の結婚相手を見つけたら、死ぬまで一緒に人生を楽しくに過ごすということが一番だと思われています。これは、日本人も同じ考えです。現実に、日本人の離婚率は、アメリカ人に比べて低いはずです。 ②日本人若者が同時に２、３人の恋人がいることです。そして、浮気が多いということもよく聞きました｡う～んうらやましい　日本の若者がんばれ～ ③また、夜中にセックスについてのテレビ番組がありますが、実はセックスは会　話の話題として、あまりないような気がします｡セックスは恋人同士の話だけな　のでしょう。あと、これですが、日本の文化はＴＶだけでは、ありません。日本が世界に誇るものといえば、漫画、アニメですよ。例えば、「ふたりエッチ」という漫画があります。検索してみてください。こういうマンガは、日本独自のもの　です。他の国にはありません。若者はこういうものから、セックスというものを学ぶのです。日本という国を、他の国の人が文化として見る場合、漫画というものは、ぬかせません。漫画のなかの言葉、ファシャンが若者の流行の起点となっているものが、多いのです。これは　すこしいいすぎかもしれませが、　　　　http://www.gameiroiro.com/20 02/0606-1.htm 　http://www.f6.dion.ne.jp/~hi de-ki/katsu-aki/futari-h/ 　http://www.hakusensha.co.jp/ book_review/futari_13/com.ht ml　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 posted by anon_virtuastriker3123981250 11244912531August 17, 2002 at 12:10 [ e ]
