This is a thread for myself alone, totally isolated -- and
perhaps alienated. I don't expect anyone to read or respond
to my endless soliloquy.
I have other threads for my own solitary use. One of them is:

- I've just changed my handle name from its original Japanese version
to the present English one. I wonder if it's not a bit too long.
I don't know if I'll keep using the English one, but I'm going to
try it anyway -- on an experimental basis anyway.
How does it sound, huh? Doesn't it sound good or what?
"OED Loves Me Not." My original Japanese-language handle name
literally means "in unrequited love with OED." But it's much too long.
I wish I could find the perfect handle name for me.
In case anyone is wondering why I'm using these handle names (OED に片思い
and "OED Loves Me Not"), I'd like to state here just in passing that
I've always loved the Oxford English Dictionary. Yes, that 20-volume,
approximately 20,000-page-long English dictionary.
As a lover of learning, especially literature and language, I've always
loved my mother tongue naturally, as well as English. Although I
have learned a little bit of many other languages, I've always loved
the English language. I'm in love with its sound, rhythm, and the
way it looks on paper -- or on the computer screen for that matter.
As a youth of 25, I was working for a construction company in Osaka
when I went to one of the major bookstores that the town offered.
I went to Kinokuniya Bookstore to get a copy of the compact version
of OED. A two-volume version, this dictionary was identical with the
real OED. It was just that the compact version was printed in very
tiny font and condensed. To read the printed text in there, you
had to use the magnifier attached to the dictionary. (to be continued)
- 3 ：
- [Continued from >>2]
--- How I Have Been in Love with OED ---
Then, it took me more than three decades after that to come to
form the habit of consulting my beloved dictionary regularly.
Yes, it took me these long years. Why? Of course, because I'm
stupid. I'm just an average-intelligence guy. I have only an average
IQ and I didn't go to a famous university or anything. I have never
been a student brilliant enough to get a major scholarship or anything.
But you see, I have a single talent, a very important talent.
Not a talent of high intelligence or anything. It's a talent
consisting of capable of desperately loving whatever or whomever
I happen to like. I've always been in love with life, with women,
with books, with studies, with literature, with languages. . . .
So, all my life, I've always been head over heels in love with
language. And OED is, for me, the quintessential symbol of
language, as well as all other branches of knowledge in which I
have always loved and always will.
It's not that I hate my mother tongue or anything. On the contrary,
I love it very much. But, this language -- English -- has always
fascinated me all my life. I don't know why. And OED is the symbol
of my love for the English language -- my goddess.

You morons are totally off-topic!
Get the hell out of here, quick!
This thread is for those who spare no effort
to overcome the limitations to which all of us humans
are condemned. Yes, we are all stupid. Yes, we are
all insignificant beings.
However, I love no one but those who constantly struggle
to overcome our own meaninglessness, our own weaknesses,
our own stupidity.
Neither this thread nor my life is for any of such morons
as yourselves that are real morons who are contented to
remain morons.
Man is a rope between the Ape and the Superman!
We all have the heavenly obligation to pursue perfection
-- or at least, to pursue a state slightly better than our present one.

He said he did not want anyone to read and comment on what he wrote.

For those who are encouraging me, thank you very much.
At >>1, I said something along the lines of "I don't want anyone to
respond to me." But I should have wrote, "I would welcome anyone
who would wish to talk to me if only they want to have a serious
conversation with me."
I apologize for my occasional swearing both in Japanese and English.
I know how you feel. I hate rough language too. But I can't help it.
It's THEY that pick on me first. Whenever I posted a series of
posts, whether anonymously or under my handle name, they have always
been attacking me. Yes, I know that they use mild language most of
the time. But in fact, they are just pretending to be civil but actually
they are attacking me, using very cunning and dirty tricks, using
seemingly mild language that actually kills me.
That's why I can't help talk back to them, using ten times as rough
language as they do. I'm sorry if I am offending some well-intentioned
good citizens.

- I know I'm insignificant. I even know I'm shitty and stupid.
And yet I've always been struggling to overcome my stupidity
by hard work. I also know my writing is shitty, and yet I've always
been working hard to produce something good.
NEVERTHELESS, there are people out there who are constantly calling
me stupid, poorly educated, and shitty. I never insult them
until they offend me first. All I want to do is to study things
and share the joy of learning with others. Is that a terrible crime?
Why do people always pick on me so? And, when I react to their insults,
why do they have to insult me again, saying I'm insulting them?
I NEVER insult anyone unless they insult me first!

Boy, am I dumbfounded! Never has anyone read aloud what I've written
in English -- nor perhaps what I've written in Japanese either.
I don't know exactly what inspired you to take up some of your precious
time and effort to make a recording of my posts. I assume your
motivation was favorable for me. Whatever the reason you made
the recording, I greatly appreciate it. Oh, how flattered I am!
How nice, how splendid it feels for a native speaker of English
to bother to make a recording of what I've written in my clumsy
English! You sound exactly like one of those handsome, talented
Hollywood actors often hear in those movies that I see in cinemas.
You've got really a beautiful voice. I'm positive you're a professional
actor -- at least a student studying to become one.
- 36 ：
- >>35
Boredom.
Also, trust me, my voice sounds like a nasally 12 year old's.
- 37 ：
- >>32
I've just noticed the ending of your ID (5vUkHUra!) sounds like
"UK, Hurrah!" That's nice. And I can tell you're writing from
abroad. Thanks for coming all the way here.
- 38 ：
- >>37
I'm Canadian. Also I've been wanting to read something on here for awhile but this is the first long-form thing I've seen.
- 39 ：
- >>36
Boredom!? Haha, I see. That means I was just flattering myself
when I was thinking a little bit of interest in my posts on your side
might have inspired you to make your recording.
In any case, thanks a lot for your recording. I really appreciate it.
It's really very nice to hear a native speaker with such a beautiful
accent and such talented acting skills read my posts aloud.
- 40 ：

Thank you again.

- Here I'm copying five consecutive posts I wrote in another thread
earlier today. Any thread here on 2-channel might break down and
disappear any time. And I'd hate to lose those five posts of mine.
I think they were not that terribly written. They are among
the most eloquent expressions of what I've been doing in my life.
--------------------------
I want to say one thing to you haters once and for all.
I never (or at least, almost never) insult anyone
unless they insult me first. I never call anyone stupid
or call anyone's work insignificant unless they do that to me first.
As for my lengthy posts, I know I tend to write long, very often
lengthy posts. But I can't help it. Why? Because I'm not as
"intelligent" as you guys. I try to write everything necessary
in every single post of mine, try to share every bit of
my meager knowledge with others who might be eager to learn things.
That's why I tend to write long.
Of course, intelligent people
may be able to condense their writing even when they put all
of what they want to say. But even the best writers tend to
write lengthy texts first. Only after that, they rewrite them,
shortening them while retaining the essentials. It takes time
and effort. (to be continued)
- 43 ：
- [Part 2]
As for me, I don't have enough time and energy to spend such a
large amount of my everyday life on working to turn every post of mine
into such a concise form. All I do here on 2-channel is try to
write everything I think is necessary. That alone is hard work.
I don't think many of you guys are capable of doing even that.
Most of you guys are merely complaining that I'm writing lengthy
posts, the large part of which is totally insignificant.
But how many of you guys in the world are trying as hard as I am?
How many of you guys have ever once tried to study things as hard
as I do and tried to share your knowledge with others?
Well, I try anyway, however stupid and poorly educated I may be.
You call me uneducated. Yes, I know that. But, if you really
are that educated, why don't you do something to make a difference?
If you don't have the guts to do that, just shut the **** up and
remain part of the silent, lazy, cowardly majority!
- 44 ：
- [Part 3]
Here on 2-channel or anywhere else on the Internet, or in any scene
of real life for that matter, all I have ever wanted throughout my
life is to study, work as hard as I can to be a good, kind person,
and make a difference, however uneducated, stupid, indecent I may be.
And then, what have you guys been doing to me, huh? Insulting me
all the time. Is it a crime to work hard? Is it a crime to
speak or write something that I think may be useful to others?
Is it a crime to read Charles Dickens or Thomas Hardy in the original?
Is it a crime to translate some passages of them and write comments
on them in an attempt to share the joy of exploring the wonderful
world of literature, learning, and all other precious parts of
civilization?
Is it a crime to write posts that you call "lengthy"? As I said
in my previous posts, I never intend them to be lengthy.
Of course everyone likes texts as short as possible. But posts
that are merely short are insignificant. It is short but
meaningful and informative posts that people like. I constantly
do my utmost to write such posts.
But what about you? Yes, your posts are short. What then?
You write nothing but trash. I never sit back and be lazy and
pick on others for their poor writing unless they are merely
trying to abuse people or are just being trolling.
- 45 ：
- [Part 4]
What I loathe is lazy people who don't want to admit their laziness
and pick on others. Most of you guys, I loathe. Basically I
LOVE people and life. But I loathe most people for their laziness
and pettiness. That's why I tend to be a thorough pessimist.
That's why I cannot help but believe that life as we know it
is unworthy of living.
But, hey, don't tell me I should
kill myself at once because I am making such pessimist remarks.
I said I basically love people and life. That means I love
that kind of people and that kind of life that are worthy.
I love those who are constantly working hard to overcome the
limitations of humanity whether they are uneducated or untalented.
Talented or stupid, I don't care.
What I believe in is hard work. Intellectually challenged people
(or retarded people, or whatever it might be appropriate to call them)
are leading great lives if they are doing their utmost.
People with physical disabilities are not leading meaningless lives
but they actually are really significant as long as they are
doing everything in their power.
- 46 ：
- [Part 5]
Likewise, untalented people like myself can be significant as long
as they do their best in their lives, whether they may be confined to
their beds or rooms, or whether they are jobless or dependent on
their parents. As long as they are doing their very best, then
I admire them. And I admire myself not because I am talented
(which I am definitely not), not because I am intelligent
(which I am not either), but because I have been doing everything
in my power all my life.
That famous athlete said something along the lines of "I really
worked hard. I almost want to praise myself." Well, that's precisely
what I have always wanted to do for me. Do you understand, guys?
How many of you can praise yourselves, huh? How many of you guys
can say the following to your own selves: "Yeah, you did a great job. It may
have been just a modest accomplishment. You are not a genius
or anything. You are just one of the ordinary. But you did good.
I admire you."
----------------
This is the end of the copied-and-pasted text.
- 47 ：
- >>45
Ok, you need some real-talk here. And please, keep in mind this is coming from a place of respect and love.
You have a bit of a superiority complex, and until you get past that you're never going to be able to cope with criticism. The whole time that you're denigrating yourself, you're
attacking everyone else for being "lazy" or "inferior." You say you love life, and that you love people, but then you go and say that you "loathe most people."
That's really not healthy, and you should probably try to be a little less judgmental. You'll be happier. I think that you've had a rough life,
and that you think you haven't gotten what you deserve. And maybe you're right. But what does hating others that "don't deserve happiness"
do for you? Come on, man, you need to relax a little bit. Focus on yourself, don't worry about others. If they make fun of you on the internet? Who cares.
I come from a much rougher image-board culture than this, where sarcasm and shit-flinging is ubiquitous. One thing you learn quickly is to stop taking
things like this seriously.
Also, stop calling yourself stupid, you're not.
- 48 ：
- As I've already said a couple of times in Japanese elsewhere here on
2-channel, I wrote an awful lot on websites other than 2-channel
in three languages: Japanese, English, and Romanian. And I erased all
that a few years after writing them. The website where I put
the most important part of my posts in English was MySpace and
a website called something like "Blogger." There I think I wrote
at least a hundred paperback pages worth of text, maybe two hundred
or even more. In English too.
In Romanian I put a lot of posts because I was studying the language
very hard until seven years ago or so. For six years I studied it
so hard I even became a professional translator of commercial
documents from Romanian to Japanese. I earned 450,000 yen or so
over a period of a year from translation jobs in the language.
Then I quit my studies of the language altogether. There are
some complex reasons why I began to learn the language and why
I quit it. The reasons touch one of the most delicate sentiments,
so I don't want to mention them right now. Maybe I'll touch upon
them some day -- here on 2-channel too.
In Japanese, naturally, I wrote tremendously too. Probably
thousands of paperback pages of text. Most of my posts
in any of these three languages were related to studies of language and
comparative linguistics. Through the Internet I met lots of
serious adult students, long after their school days, working hard
to learn something despite their busy life. I even made a few
very important friends too, Japanese, Romanian, American.
(to be continued on Part 2)
- 49 ：
- [Part 2]
I quit all those friends and erased all those posts with a push of
the ERASE button. Why do I do that? I've never met anyone else
who would do that. Most people cherish even the least significant
posts of theirs, such as those describing their going shopping
to a nearby department store and finding a beautiful sweater or
something -- in unimpressive language too, no significance at all,
no ingenuity, no effort, not even once consulting a dictionary
or any other academic book. They just write a couple to
one or two dozens of short expressionless sentences, put them
together, and post them on their blogs. And how they cherish their
blogs! As if their writing is a series of masterpiece volumes!
As for me, all my life, I've written, produced, spoken, and done
a great deal of things but I've always discarded them a few years
after each such spell of desperately hard activities. Why do
I so easily throw away all the results of my tremendous efforts?
What a weird guy I am! I even destroyed all the photos of me
taken either in isolation or with anyone else. So I don't have
a single photo of me even though I'm turning almost sixty.
At my age, most people -- or maybe all the people except for me --
cherish their photos, don't they?
- 50 ：
- >>47
Thanks for your loving remarks. All your insights and analyses
make sense. You're absolutely right. You've analyzed me
correctly and you've guessed what I should be doing to become happier.
However, I can't be happy. Maybe I'm refusing to be happy. Or
maybe I'm already happy in a very special sense. Sorry, I'm not
trying to be a sophist or anything.
By the way, I'm not being upset about how they treat me here on
2-channel or anywhere else on the Internet. I'm talking about
all the scenes of my real life. Ever since I was born people have
been attacking me -- at least, sneering at me, laughing at me
for the way I love to study, for the way I take my life seriously,
for the way I believe that humans ought to live.
And I've always been working hard. I've always been struggling.
Has anyone helped me? No. Never. Has anyone spared the slightest
bit of their time and effort to give me the kind of education I deserved?
No. So I studied alone, I loved what I loved -- alone, totally isolated,
alienated.
Yes, I managed to go on to a four-year college and graduate from it.
But I never got any further education. I never once -- even
for a tiny second -- set my foot on the ground of any country
where they speak English, which has always my goddess. To this Goddess
I've dedicated my whole like.
- 51 ：
- Ever since I was 17, in the second year of high school, I have been
studying my beloved language all alone, without the chance to go to
English conversation schools or to get tutoring from talented teachers.
I asked at least three hundred questions about English grammar and
idioms and all other aspects of the language at school but
teachers never had what it took for them to give me a satisfactory
answer to a single one of them.
That's why I studied alone. In the latter half of my high school
days and all through college, I studied alone, all alone,
by reading novels, books on philosophy and psychology, by reading
books written by great thinkers from the past -- authors who
devoted their whole lives to overcome the pettiness, weaknesses,
and limitations to which we all are condemned.
I watched probably a lot of movies and TV programs in English too,
probably 2,000 of them in total. Of course I didn't count them.
It's just a ballpark figure, a very rough guess.
- 52 ：
- I studied and studied and studied, and I did nothing but study.
And people have always been calling me names, a tight-ass
who knew no pleasures, refused to know the joys of life.
They have always been sneering at me.
But I always wanted to say this back to them, "Do you have any idea
how much I have had to suffer because of this lack of education
I had to go through? I never had the education I deserved!
YOU guys, on the other hand, got the education you deserved.
You got much more than what you deserved. You always hated to study.
You always hated to work hard. But still, your parents put you
through college and even sent you abroad for study. They
sent you to special tutors too. Your parents invested tremendously
in your education. And you put all that education to nothing!
That means, even though you only got a four-year college education,
you still got much more than I got. If I got what you had gotten,
I would have become a decent college professor. I would have
become a very good teacher. I would have done a great deal
to contribute to society."

What's stopping you? You're still alive. Come to an English speaking country to visit. Hell, even Singapore speaks English. You could probably get there fairly cheaply.
Why not go back to university if you want to so bad? Only you are stopping you.
- 54 ：
- >>53
No, please don't jump to conclusions. Things are not easy as you think.
Each person is living their own particularities. And, even with
tons of text, I could never tell you all of the why's and how's and
who's and what's of my life. What I have been written here or anywhere
on the Internet, all put together, is just a tiny fragment of
what I am and what I've been doing and have been obliged to go through.
Do you think I could be contented with just a short "visit" to
an English country? I couldn't ever be contented with a full year
or two in such a country. I couldn't ever be satisfied with
just traveling around.
Don't you have enough imagination to suppose that I may have had to
spend most of my younger life (nearly two decades) on
working my butt off every single day -- both professionally and
in my home life -- helping my *** (here I keep the word blank intentionally)
go and get four years of very costly education (which I had to pay for)
and sending that person to a subsequent long period of professional training
(which lasted more than ten years)? Can you imagine how I had to
work my butt off again to support that person both financially and
emotionally all the time, without that person having time or energy
to help me back in any way?
- 55 ：
- (Continued)
I am tired. Dead tired. I am not a Jesus Christ. Why did I have to
help that person, who was a total stranger to me in a sense,
financially, emotionally, and professionally? I got no reward.
What did I get? I got something terrible. I don't want to
mention it to protect that person's honor even though I don't have to.
So, please don't try to preach to me. Don't be judgmental.
I'm totally different from all the other people you may have ever met.
I myself have never met anyone in the whole world who is like me
in any sense.

If this is a website for native speakers, and if I am a native

But these threads happen to be for Japanese people learning

- Why I Love 2-channel
I love 2-channel because:
(1) There are no Big Brothers who judge what we should write and
what we should not and who erase whatever post they think is inappropriate.
Of course I hate haters and abusers but who can be so perfect as
to be able to judge who is right and who is wrong? I believe
I am right and deserve to keep my posts undeleted and that
comments by haters ought to be deleted. But who can judge whether
I am right? It may be THEY who may be right. Or rather,
no one is completely right or wrong. Therefore, the total absence of
a Big Brother is one reason why I love 2-channel.
(2) I stay on 2-channel and intend to stay here forever because
neither I nor anyone else can erase any of my posts. As I said
before, I've written a hell of a lot elsewhere on the Internet
and more than half of it was really significant and informative, and
took huge amounts of time in research. And yet I deleted all of them.
That's the kind of guy I am. I invest huge amounts of effort and time
on something, then, one day, all of a sudden, I no longer care a bit
about what I've been doing and suddenly decide to quit all that --
or erase all the writings I've made. That's how I have been all my
life. But here on 2-channel, I don't have to worry about that
idiosyncrasy of mine. Even when a time comes when I decide that
I don't care a bit about what I've been writing, I won't be
able to delete it. All my writings will stay here. And therefore,
I will be able to browse some of what I will have written and
relearn things and look back on my life.

- 独居老人の我がままスレ

- In the last post, I was saying that it may be those haters who may be
right and deserve to remain on 2-channel.
We humans believe we deserve to live on and have the right to kill
whatever animal or plant or being may want to destroy us.
For example, we believe we have the right to destroy the AIDS virus.
But are we gods? Do we really have the right to assert that
we humans are right and that it is they the AIDS viruses who are
wrong? It may be that the AIDS viruses may find us humans to be
their pest, trying to destroy them. That may be why they have
been fighting us. It may be that we humans deserve to die.
It may be that it is high time we perish to leave room for
other decent animals, plants, minerals, and all other non-biological
beings to continue to exist in a peaceful, brave new world.

- >>71
Well, thank you. By the way, you said you speak English and nothing
else. Do you mean you don't read Japanese but have still come all
over to this 2-channel, which is essentially for speakers of Japanese?
Or perhaps you read Japanese fairly well, right? Or is it by any chance
that the Japanese text posted here appears like Egyptian hieroglyphics
on your computer? Please tell me. I want to know that because
I want to keep my thread non-Japanese-proof. I mean, I want to
make my thread as accessible as possible to you guys from abroad,
whether you have a good command of Japanese or not.
- 73 ：
- >>72
Egyptian hieroglyphics. I don't understand Japanese at all. Occasionally I'll use google translate to get the gist of something, but otherwise I can't understand any of it.
Honestly, until a few weeks ago I thought 2ch blocked all non-Japanese IPs. I mostly post on 4chan and Krautchan.
- 74 ：
- >>73
I see. Several Japanese visitors to 2-channel have been abroad and
they report that 2-channel blocks some areas, but not others.
So far, no one knows which areas exactly are blocked.
For example, one Japanese guy who basically lives in Japan
is now in The Netherlands. He says he has access to 2-channels
in some areas, and not in some others.
- 75 ：
- Just in case anyone is interested, I'm copying and pasting a post
put a few minutes ago by someone I don't know. It is by one of my haters.
***********************
Can just copying and pasting parts of the contents of OED called informative posts?
Or hard work?
Or something, however modest it may be, that people can be proud of?
No. A thousand times no.
Just copying and pasting doesn't require brainpower
any more than does a mere repetition of a simple mantra:
nothing if not a cinch, it can be done easily even by a child,
provided he or she has the necessary IT skills to do so―veritable child's play.
And what Mr. OED does here may be even worse than that:
OED is protected material,
and the unauthorised reproduction of any part of it,
therefore, may well be deemed copyright infringement.
Thus, in terms of both the burden and the legality of copy and paste,
Mr. OED's loquacious defence of his position is untenable,
no matter how resplendent the expressions he uses may be.

Man is a rope stretched between the animal and the Superman―a rope over an abyss.

What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not a goal: what is lovable in man is that he is an OVER-GOING and a DOWN-GOING.
I love those that know not how to live except as down-goers, for they are the over-goers.
I love the great despisers, because they are the great adorers, and arrows of longing for the other shore.

- 【A question about the English language】
If there were any native speaker of English here who can spare some time for me
in answering a question about English, I would greatly appreciate it.
MY QUESTION
What exactly does the following text mean? It is what President Obama
said recently. More specifically, what do the "we's" and "our" mean
in his remark? Who does the "recognizing"?
TEXT
(1) "I think this a wake-up call for a lot of Iraqis inside of
Baghdad recognizing that we're going to have to rethink
how we do business if we're going to hold our country together,"
Obama said, before departing on a two-week vacation.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-iraq-airstrikes-20140809-story.html
Here's the same text with some markings:
(2) I think this a wake-up call for a lot of Iraqis inside of
Baghdad 【recognizing】 that ●we're● going to have to rethink
how ●we● do business if ●we're● going to hold ●our country● together.
(To be continued)
- 82 ：
- Continued from >>81 【A question about the English language】
I paraphrased the above text as follows:
(3) I [= President Obama] think this a wake-up call for a lot of Iraqis
inside of Baghdad. It is because I recognize that we're [Americans are]
going to have to rethink how we [= Americans] do business
if we [= Americans are] going to hold our country together.
Or maybe the "It is because" should be replaced with "although" as follows:
(4) I [= President Obama] think this a wake-up call for a lot of Iraqis
inside of Baghdad, although I recognize that we're [Americans are]
going to have to rethink how we [= Americans] do business
if we [= Americans are] going to hold our country together.
************************
I sum up my question:
Have I paraphrased President Obama's statement correctly?
- 83 ：
- >>82
I realize that both of the paraphrased texts (3) and (4) sound awkward.
I know the phrase "recognizing" here is best left unparaphrased.
All I want to do here is to know WHO does the "recognizing."
I believe that it is President Obama who recognizes that they (Americans)
have to do this and that.
Or is it by any chance the "lot of Iraqis inside of Baghdad" that
does the "recognizing"? I mean, does Mr. Obama mean something
like the following?
(5) I [= President Obama] think this a wake-up call for a lot of Iraqis
inside of Baghdad WHO RECOGNIZE that we're [Americans are]
going to have to rethink how we [= Americans] do business
if we [= Americans are] going to hold our country together.
- 84 ：
- >>81
>>82
I think he's quoting a hypothetical Iraqi. The "We" is referring to the Iraqi people as a whole. It's a weird sentence.
- 85 ：
- >>84
Gee, thanks an awful lot for your quick reply. I thought you were
busy at work and I never expected such a prompt response.
Could I ask you a couple of further questions to clarify what
I've learned here?
QUESTION 1
Do native speakers sometimes use such weird turns of speech
in their daily conversations, even such educated people as
the U.S. President?
QUESTION 2
If you had to rewrite Obama's statement correctly, would you
turn it, for example, as follows?
(1) I think this a wake-up call for a lot of Iraqis inside of
Baghdad 【who recognize】 that 【they're】 going to have to rethink
how 【they】 do business if 【they're】 going to hold 【their】 country together
Or maybe, the text should read even better if it is rewritten as follows:
(In the following text, I changed "who recognize" to "to recognize".
（2）I think this a wake-up call for a lot of Iraqis inside of
Baghdad ★to recognize★ that 【they're】 going to have to rethink
how 【they】 do business if 【they're】 going to hold 【their】 country together
- 86 ：
- Question 1:
It happens. English is a language with a lot of synonyms and no formal body regulating grammar, so irregular sentence structures can happen. I think what Obama was trying to do
was put himself in the position of the Iraqis for the sake of rhetoric.
2: Of the two options presented I'd choose #1. Here's how I would write it. This isn't necessarily "correct," it's just how I would do it. :
"I think this is a wake-up call for a lot of Iraqis in Baghdad who now recognize that they're going to have to rethink how they do business if they want to hold their country together."
- 87 ：
- >>86
Gosh, thank you for giving me yet another
kind, exhaustive, and prompt answer.
By the way, could I ask you if you're the same Canadian guy
that talked kindly to me on many occasions yesterday?
If so, I'm sorry if I disappointed you by saying something
along the lines of: "Please don't preach." I know I'm ingrate.
It's just that people sometimes hurt me very much when they
try to tell me what to do and what not to do in order to become happier
even though they mean well and love me.
- 88 ：
- >>87
Yep that's me. No offense taken.
- 89 ：
- >>88
Thanks again for the response. Could I ask you something about your life,
like where in Canada you live and what you like and don't like?
If you don't want to, just ignore my question. I don't mean to pry.

I live in Northern Ontario. I'm currently studying law.
As to what I do and don't like that's a bit of a difficult question, I don't like to work in absolutes. Everything is based on context for me. Still, generally I like talking to people online, learning about other cultures, history,
movies, video games, books, that sort of thing.
- 91 ：
- >>90
Oh, Northern Ontario, eh? Interesting! I'm browsing the Wikipedia
article about your province (or the northern part of your province,
to be more specific). Here are some of the phrases that attracted
my attention:
(1) The climate is characterized by extremes of temperature, extremely
cold in winter and hot in summer.
(2) The principal industries are mining, forestry, and
hydroelectricity.
(3) In the early 20th century, Northern Ontario was often called
"New Ontario", although this name fell into disuse because of its
colonial connotations.
(4) Population (2011): 732,914 (Only that!? It's a far cry from
any city or region to which I'm used to here in Japan.)
I live in a suburban city in Osaka with a population about half
as large. It's not a prefecture. It's a single city. And it's not
one of the biggest cities. It's one of the biggest all right
in Osaka, but definitely not that when you look all over Japan.
My city, although very big for a suburban city in Osaka,
it's rather quiet as compared to any city in Tokyo or any of
its suburban regions.
- 92 ：
- I envy you guys who live in a quiet region, not very highly populated.
Although my town is less populated and more favored with nearby mountains,
hills, and rivers than many of the towns in Tokyo and its surroundings,
it is becoming increasingly noisy.
People are incessantly flowing
into my town, with buildings and shops flourishing. Streets and
stations are constantly being rebuilt or refurbished. My town is,
for a non-central town, definitely one of the most economically
successful in Osaka or anywhere else in the Kansai region.
(Maybe someone could identify the city I live in, simply by using
the bits and pieces of information I'm giving away here.
But, hey, I'm not a criminal. I don't have anything to hide from
people anyway. So, what the hell. . . .)
I must thank anyone who might be responsible for all this success.
Thanks to that, there are lots of physicians and nurses stationed nearby and
we find lots of shops, two or more cinema houses, several universities,
fitness clubs, and many other amenities.
However, it's becoming increasingly noisy, with crime rates rising
and people becoming more and more nervous.

1. The coldest day of the year this winter was -40 celsius with the windchill, the hottest was ~+30 Celsius, hotter with humidity.
2. Mostly mining these days. The city I live in (Sudbury) was hit by a meteor a couple billion years ago so we have lots of
nickel, platinum and copper. Other regions have gold, chromite, diamonds, silver, iron... anything you can think of really.
3. I've never heard anyone call it "New Ontario," except in French when they sometimes call it "Nouvelle Ontario." A lot of people
up here want to be our own province, we don't like the South that much.
4. Yeah, we're pretty sparsely populated. Once you go north of Timmins there's absolutely nothing until you hit the
James Bay Coast where they have some Native Reserves(mostly Cree up in Attawapiskat, Moosonee, Moose Factory, and Kashechewan.) There are no
roads up there, just solid forest, so the only way in or out is by plane.
The drive between Sudbury, where I live, and Thunder Bay, in the far west of Northern Ontario, takes about 11 and a half hours. There is absolutely
nothing between here and there. Just trees and the road.
- 94 ：
- >>90
So you're studying law. Great! It's one of the two most universally
useful disciplines in the world: law and medicine. With medicine,
you could kill or save people.
With law, people can destroy or
save not only individuals but a whole city or country or even the
whole world. People worship lawyers and physicians.
Physicians can go anywhere in the world to save people's lives
without the knowledge of their local languages.
Lawyers can go anywhere in the world to help people organize
their communities and countries with the help of interpreters.
As for your likes, I think I share my likes about history,
books, and movies with you. I hope I'll get to talk about
those things little by little whenever we get a chance.
- 95 ：
- >>93
Extremely interesting.
(1) -40 Celsius to +30 Celcius!? Wow! Just surprising! I never
dreamed Canada can be that hot! Here in Osaka, where it's rather hot,
it can be as hot as +37 or so, but in winter, it can't be as cold
as -5 Celsius, if I remember correctly.
Usually, here, we the locals
of Osaka complain an awful lot when it gets as cold as minus 2 degrees
Celsius only. If it gets colder than minus 5 degrees Celsius,
people would emigrate, haha. I really appreciate this mild weather
in winter.
(2) Hmmm, mining, eh? Here in Japan, mining is rare. We're very
poor in minerals. Mineralogy and geology are almost useless
disciplines here in Japan. Amateur mineralogists and geologists
who carry rock hammers, with hats on their heads and knapsacks on
their shoulders, going to hills or even mountains to collect rock
samples are a rarity in Japan. They are definitely called geeks.
Why? Because we don't find lots of mineral here. Nothing is
worthy of interest here when it comes to minerals and strata.
I don't know that much about these things, but it is probably because
Japan is at the point where several "plates" (as they call them in
plate tectonics) converge and everything here is crushed by
the huge forces of these plates coming up all at once.
- 96 ：
- >>93
(3) The designation "New Ontario" attracted my attention because
it indicates how new, how relatively less developed your region is
as compared to the Southern Ontario. (Here, by calling your part of
the province "relatively less developed," I don't mean to denigrate it.)
It's just that that designation seems to be indicative of the history
of your region. I find it interesting to imagine how your region
-- together with the rest of your country -- has been developing
throughout history.
(4) I guess your city, Sudbury, is not very far from Quebec and
Montreal, which are among the most important cities of Canada.
And I don't think it's terribly far from Prince Edward Island, either.
That island I know by name because, if I remember correctly,
"Anne of Green Gables" and "The Road to Avonlea" are set on that
island. I loved to read "Anne" and to watch the TV series "Avonlea."
I have nothing but a good impression of your country. I've never
heard anything bad about it. I also hear that the crime rate is
very, very low there.

Well, that's a good one! Although I'm not much versed in English poetry,
much less in Shakespeare, I think you selected the right rhyming words
in your parody. I'm really glad I've read -- or rather, browsed --
"Hamlet" in the original just recently. It's because of that that
I can now appreciate your parody much better than I would have done before.
I'm a little bit into Shakespeare these days. As a nonnative speaker of English and
just a layman in English literature, particularly in its classics,
I can do nothing but struggle and inch forward in trying to appreciate
the Bard of Avon.
Although I still don't understand much of his
ancient turns of speech, I think I find his rhythm beautiful.
On YouTube, I find lots of public readings of Shakespeare. I've been
enjoying hearing readings of "Romeo and Juliet" and "Hamlet."
Of all the readings of "Hamlet" accessible free of charge on YouTube,
I love the following:
