For quite sometime my mom would let me do my own thing. Now she thinks it's high time to get me to get rid of my passion. BOTH my parents even have the decentcy (sp) to call me a racist because I think the Japanese are cool. They even said that America is the center of the world and is a utopia.
Okay.... is this crap or what? I would love to live in Japan and stuff but do you REALLY think this is correct? No all countries have their problems but IMHO I think that our country in these recent years has the most. Is it okay to force such opinions as "America is the greatest thing since the computer?". I think not. I even said I thought the shinto religion was interesting but had no interest in becoming one. I like Japanese history. But my parents think I am going to become apart of what they call "a cult". My dad especially thinks that the shinto religion is a "cult". He even stated that in his house EVERYONE must be christian. I am SO getting tired of being told that AMERICANS are the ultimate race. And that everyother race must kiss our feet.
And that other countries are the worst of the worst. Also that every country is NOT free and are controlled down to what they wear.
If I said this before I'm sorry, they said they wont even let me visit or live in the country once I move out. They REALLY think they can controll how I spend my money?  to them XD |
You are just too addicted to Japan, which addiction is bad. Its alright to like a country but its wrong to be addicted to it. same goes to you parents.
You should do a more research about Japan,lifestyle, expensives,etc. I would reccomend to look at the thread " I dont want to live in Japan" by MMM. After i did my research, I decided that the US is my perfect country to live in and that Japan will only just be another country I would like to visit only.
