Kanji, while based entirely on Chinese, is today its own system and has been for centuries. English derives its writing system from Latin — that doesn't make the English alphabet Latin. Calling Latin writing "alphabet-like" wouldn't be wrong, and this isn't either. The OP was just trying to express a thought with the…

"No" shame, huh? Pretty sophisticated moral binary you've got going on there, heh,

HEY-O! ...Lacking any sense of geographical appropriateness, but HEY-O! anyway.

Out here in Japan where I live? Oh, right — where you're from nobody leaves their hometown or does anything interesting with their life!

I love that the 20-odd people who starred this comment will bash Angelenos for wanting talk about our city being modeled in a major game release, but you're all still going to be sucking the city's virtual dick when you finally get the game you're all touching yourselves over. Stop hating.

You might be joking, but just in case you're not — they're not in the game this time. In the teasers and other promotional stuff for the game they've said that the fictional world is "based on Southern California," and they've been pretty careful to say the story takes place in Los Santos instead of saying it takes…

This is such a tired illogical argument.

If these sound dumb to you:

Excellent point.

This was the best response so far. Thank you.

Feeling a certain way about a certain thing doesn't get applause. Tangible accomplishments that take effort to achieve get applause. As someone up there said, this is not about you.

So mean and inappropriate but so funny.

The problem isn't that your opinion is wrong. Your opinion is based on a bunch of poorly-understood concepts you've cobbled lazily together without any hard thought or research (as you've described it so far) or direct contact or experience with what it refers to. Of course it's wrong. That's not your fault. What is…

This. But don't worry, there are Preda-types in Japan too. Because no country has a cultural monopoly on stupid.

That is the most dumbly racist thing I've... What the... Ican'teven...

Hahaha, did you say that with an Austrian accent, or did I just picture it? And "sissy girl"? Really? Did you fall into a timewarp from 1950 or something?

Insensitive, upsetting, and offensive, but still somehow not funny. Are you Carlos Mencia?

Wait, actually — no, you're still letting me do this to you, so yeah you're still dumb. I'd love to hear you make the argument now that any of the previous stuff you said was about anything but having the last word. Go ahead, I'll even let you have it.

Dude, ad hominem is where we're stuck now unfortunately. And you're still dumb, and I'm still not reading past the third lines of your posts. But sure, please continue.

Loved this piece. I have a first generation Mexican mother and a Scots-Irish American father, and my mother used to constantly get the comments and inquiries about baby-sitting and nanny services. Here's the funny thing — we lived briefly in West Germany before the fall of the wall and she got the questions there too.…

Once I saw the the "omg ur so immature" comment I got a better image of how old you are and both the kind of person you are and what you think of yourself — and completely lost my ability to keep reading. I'm sort of ambivalent about that right now because despite the fact that you've completely hollowed out and…
