Now we have entered the realm of being childish. You aren't going to make allies that way.

More than you. I'm with the4th2001 here. You are a typical case of wanting posters to tell you something specific, and when you don't hear it, you complain, attack, and call people names.
For the most part, you have been told the changes you expect in immigration are going to happen slowly if at all. If you can't accept that, I suggest you stop posting here and look for another country to live in.
I'm done trying to provide you with useful information. I would also hope that the moderators see this thread as being stalled and lock it. |
I don't care if this thread gets locked. It has run its course; you're right about that.
However, before it gets locked, I just want to say this:
Glenski, you're a smart guy and you know a great deal about at least SOME aspects of living in Japan -- much more than other posters.
However, I think you are being incredibly cynical. At first, I was willing to believe your cynicism regarding the poor job market, but once you got into claiming that rural eikaiwas had competition rates higher than 20:1, and wild speculations that the J immigration system will soon grind to a total halt and cease to innovate or liberalize, that blew your credibility for me.
Quite frankly, in my mind, you went from being a wise if a tad pessimistic fellow to a real downer.
So why don't we just come to this gentlemanly agreement:
I don't post in threads started by you.
You don't post in threads started by me.
Deal?
Thank you for your help so far in regard to visa information (and I mean this sincerely, I think you really do know a ton about visas), but I don't think we should interact on Dave's or GP anymore. |
You are taking internet forums (and yourself) way, way too seriously. |

Since you insulted me, I am back, but briefly.
It is not "cynical" to claim competition rates. And, I wasn't the only one, so stop singling me out. That's harassment. Besides, generally speaking those are the competition rates you will run into. Not everywhere, but I'd say a lot. You just choose to disbelieve people.

I don't think I ever said such things, only that immigration and politics here move incredibly slowly. You are putting words in my (and the4th2001's) mouth. Read more carefully.

That's not gentlemanly. That's telling me to keep my nose out of your business, even if it affects others. And, if you think this sort of "interaction" is too much for you to handle, wait until you get here and face reality of Japan, then ask for advice. |
