Hunters should not hunt what?? Read please?
Question by mortician: Hunters should not hunt what?? Read please?
Hello. My comp 2 professor assigned a research paper that is due at the end of the semester. It is an argument. I presented her with “Hunters should not hunt for sport”. She says she wants me to be as specific as possible and rewrite it as “Hunter should not hunt [for a specific animal]“. I’ve been thinking and thinking and searching the web for what animal I could use but have had no luck. Anyone know of any animals that are not now illegal to hunt but is causing some problems and should be illegal?
Any ideas are welcome. I live in Florida if that helps but it doesn’t have to be a local thing.
Perhaps I should not have placed this in thr hunting category. Hmm, this might result in annoying answers. But I could be wrong…

Answer by Gondwana
ANY animals – we have plenty of meat in our grocery stores and clothing made from different materials so there is no excuse for hunting anything any more.

Advice on ‘Nampa’ （なんぱ） please?
Question by Johnny: Advice on ‘Nampa’ （なんぱ） please?
Hi, I would like to get some opinions on nampa, particularly from Japanese women.
I’ve been in Japan a few years and came here to study Japanese and teach English. I enjoy living in Japan but I feel meeting women is much more difficult than it needs to be because of the negative nampa stereotype.
I didn’t come here to be a “playboy” or for “girl hunting”. However, I am a young single man who would like to find a nice girlfriend. None of my friends or co-workers know any nice single girls right now, so I try to go out and meet women at different places. This is where the problem for me usually starts. Whenever I go somewhere and try talking to a woman I don’t know and have never met before, 9 times out of 10 I end up being ignored or brushed off. It could be anywhere, even a more social setting like a club or a bar.
I feel as if a Japanese woman doesn’t know a guy, she doesn’t want to talk to him because she thinks he’s just doing nampa. Most women never even give me a chance to show them that I’m not. They just ignore me from the beginning and never talk to me. I find this to be very rude on their part as well as frustrating for me. My Japanese friends have given me many reasons for this but to be honest they just sound like childish excuses. For example, some of my friends tell me it’s because Japanese girls are very shy. This doesn’t really make too much sense to me. If a girl is all alone and a guy is trying to talk to her, I can understand her being nervous or shy. However, if she’s in a public place surrounded by friends, I don’t see any reason to be shy. If anything, I’m the one who should be nervous! Walking up to a group of strangers and trying to start a conversation isn’t easy.
So here’s why I really wrote this.
In Japan, If you can’t meet someone through school, work, friends or family, then what are you supposed to do?
Grow old alone?
That’s what it feels like sometimes.
Thanks, I hope I didn’t offend anyone,
Thanks to everyone for your sincere answers. Here’s a little more information in response to your comments.
Tony,
“You teach English and you cannot get your students to introduce you to their friends? huh?”
Thanks but I teach children, junior high school students, I’m an ALT not an eikaiwa instructor.
Apple828,
“Maybe this would depend on the situation, but even if they’re not alone, wouldn’t you feel nervous or uncomfortable if a total stranger intruded into your group all of a sudden?”
Nope, as long as the person was polite about it, this has never bothered me. I’ve met many interesting people and good friends by giving strangers a chance.
If after talking to them, I don’t feel comfortable with the person or don’t like what they have to say, then I just won’t see them again.
Tokyo E,
“You are currently studying Japanese, but how much Japanese can you speak?”
I’ve been studying Japanese for about 5 years and my speaking ability is near level 2 of the JLPT.
Thanks!
Thanks again for the comments, you’ve given me some extra things to consider, thank you.
Someone asked
“Where are you located?”
I like in a small town in Yamanashi. It’s near Kofu if anyone knows the area. I used to live in Chiba.
Another person asked
“Have you considered dating non Japanese girls?”
Actually, the few girls I dated here have not been Japanese. I only briefly dated a Japanese girl once for a short time.
There are no bars, clubs or places to hang out in this town. Only a few izakayas and family restaurants. Meeting people has been a little more difficult in some ways but surprisingly easier in others.

“Any single teachers? I know many Japanese teachers tend to be on the younger side these days.”
Thanks but I’ve already tried this before, it never turned out well.

Answer by Tony
no offense taken 
there are (and I am generalizing a lot) 4 categories of foreigners in Japan:
- English teachers
- US military
- Middle management/executives working for foreign companies
- Tourists
Some Japanese women will NOT date a foreigner no matter what
Some will talk to one ONLY if introduced properly (and they see the value of meeting one!)
Some will be ambivalent
and some will date ONLY foreigners
Here is how the various groups are viewed (Pros/Cons):
- English teachers: nice guys, like to party, fun to be with, make little to no money, tend to be on the marginal part of life, unsure about their future in Japan, may or may not be boyfriend material
- Military: young, drink a lot, love to fight, undetermined time in Japan, good ticket out of Japan
- Tourists: in for a quick wham-bam-thank-you-m’am, fun for a night or two will all expenses paid
- Middle management/executives: prosperous, successful, decent jobs – definitely a potential husband (unless already married of course but that has rarely stopped folks…) <-- this is the real target
You want to be more successful at chatting women up?
Figure out the type of Japanese girls that might be interested in YOU. Chatting women in clubs is no big deal - just make sure you go to the type of clubs that tend to have women interested in the type of person you are. You teach English and you cannot get your students to introduce you to their friends? huh?

Tom Clancy has dined with presidents and generals on many occasions and has private access to military weapons and vehicles. He is a techno-thriller writer who is honored by many military officials and presidents even though he said things like “What the government is good at is collecting taxes, taking away your freedoms and killing people. It’s not good at much else.”
Tom Clancy was born in Baltimore Maryland, April 1947, and was raised by his father, who was a credit employee. When he grew up he married 2 women but it didn’t “work out” but in his third marriage he married Wanda Thomas and they had three kids and are still married to this day. Tom Clancy also owns his own railroad car and tank and has his own video game business which is doing quite well. One of his quotes I agree with is that “Fighting wars is not so much about killing people as it is about finding things out. The more you know, the more likely you are to win a battle.”
Tom Clancy was always interested in joining the military when he was young but when he was old enough to join the military he was denied because of vision problems, so he decided to write books about the military. He mainly wrote about scenarios and became popular with his first book, “The Hunt for Red October.” He then went on to writing other books like, “Storm Rising” and, “Patriot Games.” after writing a few more books he stared documenting and making more stories about real things that happened in wars and he ended up with ten breakthrough works which all came first in New York Times best seller and three of those were made into movies. He has so far printed more than fifty million copies of his books. His books created a new genre of books, called techno-thriller which involved things like espionage, science fiction, and action.
Even though Tom Clancy didn’t make it into the military, it still brought him wealth and happiness. He is a man honored by many and is “the father” of the techno-thriller genre but overall I’d have to say his best works were “The Hunt for Red October”, and ” Rainbow Six” In fact he was such a realistic writer that he says “I’ve made up stuff that’s turned out to real, that’s the spooky part.”

Answer by muaythaiguy2
90% of it is retelling information off of the internet.You even admitted you’re copying and pasting that’s bad. See what they want you to do in an essay is take a phrase out of it, then write 4-5 sentences of your own commenting on the phrase.
You wrote that you agree with “Fighting wars is not so much about killing people as it is about finding things out. The more you know, the more likely you are to win a battle.”
WHY DO YOU AGREE WITH IT?
You’re only in Grade 8 but honestly I’d give you like a 70%.

Can SOMEONE please explain to me, the new found hype with “The Illuminati want to control the world”?
Question by 1st Sgt Stavrouski: Can SOMEONE please explain to me, the new found hype with “The Illuminati want to control the world”?
OK, so I know that the Illuminati SUPPOSEDLY are powerful figures, like bankers and world leaders or politicians. They want to control the world supposedly, like the economy and stuff. Fair enough, a theory is a theory. I’m not here to say if I do or don’t believe it.
But WHY is everyone been on a hype wagon about it for the last year or so, about things like Satan, and Mind Control? Lady Gaga, and Jay-Z? And now I’m hearing things like the Illuminati want to KILL everybody, and they worship Satan – now to me, it seems like people are actually taking things too far. The Illuminati were an atheist group, who believed in Science, and not God, at a time when atheism was UNHEARD of. So, the Vatican were supposed to have hunted down these ‘heathens’ – there is a good amount of truth behind that story from what I know, but it is debatable.
For the sake of argument, lets say, SUPPOSEDLY, you take the argument from someone who is PRO-Illuminati, they might say that “The Christians are taking revenge, and want to make the Illuminati look bad”, and that this Anti-Illuminati stuff is all aimed at gaining Christian support, and blasting atheism (and that one day they will abolish ALL atheists, if you take it to extremes)
ALL I want to known is WHY people have started hyping about it, and WHERE it all came from. And also, I would like to know what the Illuminati are SUPPOSED to be today (ie the evil Corporation everyone thinks they are)
NOTE: I am NOT asking what the Illuminati are supposed to be, but I am asking what THESE NEW MODERN IDEAS about the Illuminati say (for example, Lady Gaga worshiping Satan and the Illuminati)
Best answer:
Answer by Louie O
The Illuminati group only existed for about 13 years, they disbanded in the late 1780′s and does not exist today. Non-Lady Gaga and any other musicians referencing the Illuminati today are just using the term to sell their product. They are taking advantage of young people’s obsession with conspiracy theories today.
I’m flabbergasted that in the 21st century so many young people are still falling for such nonsense. Human technology has been advancing for many generations but human intelligence does not seem to be keeping up.

Advice on buying a rifle please?
I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction in terms of getting a new rifle. I currently have a .22 semi-automatic, but would like to upgrade to something a bit bigger mainly so as to get more range. I generally hunt smallish animals; nothing bigger than a fox. What calibre would be sensible? Also, could someone explain how the calibre system works i.e. the range from smallest to largest. Please keep in mind that I am a UK citizen, and certain caliber’s are illegal, or very difficult to get a license for. Thanks.

Thanks Y’all
This morning I walked to our Lake
watching the Sun break open a cloud filled sky.
Sitting then on a shaky pier
I noticed atop a long dead Cypress tree,
a silent sentinel,stripped of limb and greenery
a Peregrine and her nest, doing her best
to seek prey in a never ending search.
Precarious was the perch
and she would soar, dip and dive
in her hunt for anything live.
Her babies, frantic in their hunger, screeched
Beseeching the mother to return .
As the Sun burned strong and heated the Earth
I found truth and knowledge in what this was worth.
Could someone help me revise this, please?
I wrote this just now–as a small piece of my current novel–and I would like someone to help revise it. I’m not liking the ending very much, so if I could get some suggestions for that. Plus, nighttime is making me rather dead in the brain area, so if any part is confusing, telling me would be helpful. Thanks!
——————-
It was early May, and although the forecast for that time of year was never very pleasant, on this day it was especially violent. Rain came in sheets from the sky, covering every square inch of land in Hartley Hollow, and any unfortunate soul who was unlucky enough to be caught in this torrent.
One such unlucky soul–a young woman whose hair and attire were much better suited for a ball than a storm–had been furiously banging on any door she could find. However, the wretched storm had knocked out the power, and most people were fast asleep. Others still could not hear the knocking over the thunderous battering of rain against their rooftops. So, this ill-fated woman was forced to hurry through the cobble-stoned streets of this town, previously beautiful skirts now stained and splattered with mud.
As she ran, she kept a protective hand over her abdomen, hoping, possibly, to shield her unborn child. Perhaps this was why she was out on such a day that forces even the greatest lovers of rain to go indoors, snuggle up with their loved ones, and warm themselves around a cozy fire.
The next door she knocked on was, it seemed, fated to be her last. As her now bloodied hand sounded against the door, she felt her last semblance of consciousness fade away.
As the corners of her vision slowly faded to black, the door in front of her hesitantly opened, and nimble arms shot out, stopping the young woman before she hit the ground.
Luckily for her, she had arrived at the home of a prominent town doctor. Within the hour they had induced labor.
As the young woman lay on a bed, sweaty and wracked with pain, she squeezed the hand of the older woman beside her as hard as she could. The older woman stared down at her sadly, knowing that each shuddering breath brought her infinitely closer to her last.
The young woman cried out in pain as horrible tremors coursed through her body. She could barely see through the red haze in front of her. She too could now tell that this was to be her final act.
Finally, after hours upon hours of labor, a cry rang out through the room. The baby–a girl, the older woman saw–had been born.
Such a mysterious happening, thought the older woman, Why was this woman not in a hospital? What possible reason could she have to be so foolish in such a condition? Out on a day like this!
But it seems that we shall never know why the younger woman was running so furiously, why even on a day as horrid as this she was out in the cold, dreary rain, because as the older woman turned back to the young one to share the good news, the young woman’s hand slipped out of the older woman’s, and her eyes closed.
It seemed that as a sacrifice to bring the new child into the world, her mother must leave it.
The young woman, her name, and her reasons for being in Hartley Hollow were never discovered, nor was a relative of the new child ever brought to light.
After many weeks of searching, those who found the young woman were forced to abandon their hunt for knowledge. It seemed that the young woman had appeared just as quickly as she’d gone.
With no one stepping forward to take the child, it was finally decided that she was to be given to Lila Hartley, the older woman who had been with the child’s mother in her final moments.
And with that one decision, the lives of Lila, her family, and the child–who was to be called Beatrice–would never be the same.
Ah, you’re right, that doesn’t make sense…I’ll rephrase it.
Thanks!
Although we can never know for sure what the child’s life would have been like if her mother had not died, I can say without a doubt, that the way it turned out because of such a small–in the grand scheme of things–occurrence changed a good deal of lives, and saved a good deal more.
——————————————-
Does that make more sense?
