No. I just live in the real world not an elementary school playground with all of its lame prepubescent posturing. Seriously, why in the world should I be afraid to voice my opinion to someone’s face? I think that says more about the other person than it does me. It’s also pretty lame to throw out the whole “you won’t say that to my face” line when we are on an internet forum in the first place. I mean, is there some way to prove it one way or another? That is the definition of shit talk. So go on pouting; Zecarlo is not impressed.

And if AC is upset about anything I said in a personal way then he needs to understand that if you put it out there for everyone to see you have to accept that you open yourself up to criticism. It’s called being a grownup.

I see, its that time of the year again:

Ta ta ta duuuuuuu

You are not cool enough to refer to yourself in the 3rd person.

Next, just because you can insult someone, doesn’t mean that you should.

AC shared something personal, you CHOOSING to poke at it when it is not warranted, is more a reflection of you than of him. He is a one of the straightest shooters here in PWI, calling it as even as it gets among many in here. He is no nonsense, and gets to the point.

You spoke your opinion about something you have no clue about, what you see on TV or in movies is a far cry from what really happens behind the wall.

What you should do now is apologize. We were having a discussion, and you took ONE irrelivent aspect of my post and used it to take a pot shot at me - it had nothing to do with my point. I’m not sure why, I don’t recall ever attacking you personally, but the “hey, it’s the internet, he put it out there” argument doesn’t fly. Your “contrubution”, if you want to call it that, was petty, inappropriate to the discussion, and frankly, immature.

Be a man, and quit being a passive aggressive bitch with the, “if AC feels blah blah blah, then he needs to grow up” bullshit. And replying to UL about the saying it to my face comment when I’M the one who said you’d never say it to my face only serves to vindicate my statement because you didn’t even reply to MY post and you haven’t refered to me DIRECTLY since. If you want to refer to me, REFER TO ME DIRECTLY. Other than that, keep my name out of your fucking mouth.

However, if you apologize, I will accept your apology and we can move forward - I don’t hold grudges. It would also go a long way to increasing the quality of this forum. If you don’t apologize, and continue with your passive aggressive posturing, then it will only speak volumes about who you really are. I’m inviting you to be mature and take the high road - even if it’s only the internet…

Here was a culture shock for me coming to Japan. There is no soap to wash your hands in the public bathrooms (at least the few I’ve been in). Maybe that’s why Japanese prefer to bow instead of shake hands in greeting.

I noticed the paper towels thing also. Almost every Japanese carries a towel on them. I found that interesting.

Here at my workplace in the old building we have soap, but no paper towels except in one bathroom. The second floor, which is where the meetings are held. I assume they only have them here for the Customers that may come (as they won’t be accustomed to not having something to dry their hands).

I’m still perplexed how Japan can have incredibly advanced toilets with heated seats, and toosh sprayers in some stalls/areas, and Squat spots that flush in others. Very interesting. I would not want to have to use a Squat spot after leg day.

The people who talk the most shit are the first to say they would do the same in person…our friend BG proved that was wrong…let them keep chirping, its like people who make fun of peoples pictures with none of their own…pathetic.

One of the nicer facilities in Indonesia: most are bare concrete.

They were much more common when I first came here (1983).

That’s all there was where I lived, which made for some real fun when I had the flu, since I have bad knees and can’t rest in that position.

I couldn’t rest in the all-the-way-down position, and didn’t have the strength to hold myself half way down…[/quote]

When I was living in Higashi Shin-Koiwa, in my miserable little 4-jo-han with no heat and no hot water and walls made out of a single sheet of speckled particle board, that’s all I had.

And training with Dr. B, it seemed like every fucking day was leg day.

When I was in Indonesia, that’s all there ever was. Shit in a hole, splash your ass with cold water, pour more water into the hole to “flush” it.

Luckily, the third-world squat is not an impossible position for me to assume, and I actually didn’t miss toilet paper.

You get zero sympathy from me, Quasi-Tech. :slight_smile:

89

I have to ask about the squat thing…

Is it true that the squat down position when “laying cable” allows for the full emptying of your bowels ?

I am confused as to why one would have a hole in the ground when you can just put in a toilet.

92

I agree with Chushin, I think it was an easy “swap” and in some cases they just haven’t seen a reason to replace them. Usually the bigger cities and bigger stations will have normal toilets. The smaller ones, all bets are off. I was rather surprised to see the squaters in the Mitsukoshi I shop at. With that place supposedly an “upper scale” store, I figured they’d have actual toilets.

Its not a huge deal for me. My worst experience was having to go and discovering there was no toilet paper. I now carry some in my backpack anytime I travel - just in case.

I will say there is nothing like sitting on a warm toilet seat in my apartment and knowing its not because someone just used it, but rather the seat was kind enough to warm up and give me a comfortable experience. And as anti-water cleaning as I initially was, it is actually rather efficient - though I only use it at home. Public ones still kind of weird me out.

Japanese people are extraordinarily good at squatting. I found it impressive when girls at the station want to “rest” by squatting down. No American would EVER consider that a restful position. Its common place now, but impressive regardless.

93

Oh, and Varq, I don’t need sympathy. I don’t mind shitting in an air conditioned room with a hole in the ground. It beats the hell out of doing it in the woods in sub-freezing temperatures while hunting. Talk about a chilled willy!

94

There’s and awful lot of shit talkin’ going on around here… Just sayin’. LOL

When I was living in the tent in Louisiana, I dug a hole in the ground and shit in it. The position definitely seemed to help “empty things out”. LOL

What is this “air conditioning” of which you speak?

97

I new modern invention that drastically increases electricity bills and seems to only benefit the room in which the unit is located in Japan.

You have not lived until you have lived through a Chiba summer with no air-con, with a pregnant wife.

Lots of hot, sweaty sex with no fear of getting her… pregnant?

That sir sounds like hell to me (your response, not mine, haha).
