Do you think that it's trendy for kids in Japan to walk around with tatoos of words written in English?

There are keyboards with Japnese printed on keys. Also one can type if you change your font to some japnease or chinese. But I don't no either of the language so I can't type the words and tell you.

It's called a motto.\n\nMost, if not all countries have them.

We have become a lazy country - now expecting everyone around the world to understand our language. We used to study foreign languages in high school. Does anyone care any more? \n30 years ago I lived in Japan for awhile. Speaking  English was a ticket to a promotion for most people in business. To graduate high school a student had to study English for 6 years. Classes in English were available to adults who would stand in lines to sign up. \nI get angry when people emigrate here and don't want to learn our language but I also feel that we should be studying other languages to communicate better when we travel or do business abroad.\nWe need to

Its not only the white kids, there are few brown kids who are neither black nor white from asia who act like West coast. This culture has become too popular. their lives are more regulat than a machine and the issue here is that it dosent suit them well. Its influence is too much.But its gonna die someday of oldage like any other culture.

I applaud you for finally trying to replace the vulgar word, and with the right media, like yahoo, it could reach many in some time, but you have to be patient. On account of kids today and they're love for the N word, they will try to protect it, because Bushaka is not 'cool' yet, but you made a wise decision on spreading it in "Riker's" because most 'street/gangsta' trends came from there, so it could catch fire and blow up soon. And don't be put off, by the man who answered above me, unlike him, I read the whole article and I know that Bushaka is inclusive which means anyone can use it it actually unites better than any other word. BUSHAKA, lol

They're all right, just the same as every other culture.\n\nAlso, some of them have really cute accents.

isn't it TaTu or something like that?

I'm a teen.....You should try and get them interested in not smoking by something that they like that is constructive. I been persuaded not to sniff Sharpies by reading Manga.

Yes. Each culture has its own way of demonstrating its sets of grammar. You refer to "English people" as that. Americans refer to "English people" as "British".\n\nA common phrase a British teen might say is "That was bloody brilliant" that means the same as "That was totally awesome", in american teen culture. You must also take into consideration that each culture uses its own set of slang words as well. These slang words follow a grammar style all of their own.

Who knows.  But it's a really funny thought!\n\nI'm sure they mess up sometimes with chinese writing so that would probably happen for them too.  Instead of getting 'will power' tatooed on them, it accidently turns out as 'white power'.

It's just a fad.  It will pass.  Then you can make fun of them at your reunion.  At my school, one of my friends started mixing the preppy look with the skater look.  Polo shirt, kaki pants, chain necklace, skater shoes, and a wallet with a chain on it attached to his belt loop.  He was a popular guy trying to make a fashion statement, so noone really bothered him about it.  So I came to school one day in kakis and polo shirt with skater shoes, and a log chain around my neck and a huge log chain on my wallet.  He and everone else looked at me and started laughing.  When He asked me what the hell I was doing, I told him I was just trying to fit in.  He relized how rediculas he looked, and changed back to the way he used to dress.

I had 2 pen pals from Japan, when I was in the 7th grade of Ele. School;  then, while older--in my 40's and 50's had about 20 pen pals from all across USA! I need to write some of them right now; many of them do not have Computers and Email.---  My favorites:  postal mail, but email sure does save on POSTAGE.

Its mostly kids that do it. I only saw younglings doing that stuff. I guess they think its something cool to do. \n\nI agree with you, its pretty annoying. Normally the kids see other people typing that way and get annoyed themselves, so they stop.

teachers are just trying to be politically correct the new buzz phrase which allows minorities to do what they like  but not the native Englishman [to be P>C> englishperson] these are the same bunch who told me i was wrong on questions on hong kong years ago as they had read an outdated text book and i had only lived there for 4 years  \nihave a new zealand flag tatooed on my arm and woe betide any one who told me to remove it

I think it is illegal. It is only legal if the person being tattoed is over 16 or 18 i cant remember but certainly not a baby. This may also depend on which culture. For indians or mauris (don't quote me) this may be a normal thing.
