American culture

[Ideologue]

The Japanese do two things that they consider to be polite but actually irritated me.

Yi has already mentioned the slurping of soup and noodles.

The other is the constant sniffling when they have a cold, they seem(ed) to think it was bad manners to actually blow the nose.

It is.  That's fucking nasty.

I don't take a shit in a handkerchief and put it back in my pocket, either.  It either stays in my body or I deal with it in private.

Tyr, no worries. Americans are probably pretty hard to really offend, as long as the kids stick to what is reasonable behavior where they're from.

I prefer sniffling over blowing nose.  At my work, there are a couple of people whose nose blowing registers more decibels than a launching Saturn V rocket 10 feet away from you.

How old are these kids?

If they are too young to worry about sex, they are young enough that little they can do is going to offend anyone.

Nobody said it was going to be easy being an actuary 

It is best if the sufferer goes to another room and sorts it out. But I take the point that some people prefer constant sniffles to occasional sinus-clearing blasts.

I killed with my jokes in America. I'm sure they'll do likewise.

How will they kill with your jokes? Did you send them your script?

I thought his kids were teenagers?

East Asian kids are pretty socially stunted because of their insane schedule. Depending on how closely supervised they are when they get to LA, I could see them getting in a hell of a lot of trouble.

[HVC]

Hell of a lot of trouble? Teenage Japanese kids are like gremlins or something? Lol

Don't feed them after midnight.

[Tonitrus]

Don't feed them after midnight.

I always wondered what time it was safe to feed them again.

After dawn?

Stauy home, comit suicide/seppuko.

There is no way you can tech japs to be polite in american society.

Americans are blunt and higly sensitive at the same time. Impossible to explain.

Don't shoot a school up.
