Fiesta TexaS?! Where does she live?!

What does saying the pledge have anything to do with your religion? I understand how some people don't say the "under god" part but like... What is she even talking about?

I went to a DoDDs school and refused flat out to stand for the pledge. I got in trouble at first, but my dad emailed my morning teacher and told him I don't have to stand. I'm sorry but
A. I don't believe in pledging my allegiance to any country. Fuck that.
B. Don't believe in God. Though I could over look that part.

>>4465419

Well nothing really, but it's not GRORIOUS NIPPON RELIGION-DESU~ so she ain't saying shit

>>4465419
The pledge of the united states can be offense to people due to the under god part as well as other view points, such as government worship hype.

They had a similar problem with muslims saying the pledge in schools here.

There is no dual citizenship in Japan; it's hard for an outsider to get citizenship in Japan period. They are strict when it comes to that.

She's better off doing a teaching program that is in Japan, vista, or anything else if she wants to go that bad.

I think this is going to be the only non troll post from this.

>>4465437

She tried to get into the JET program a year or two ago - you know, that program where you have to be fluent in the language and have a good working knowledge of the culture?

She never got in though. She was really depressed over that. I mean, she was practising her kanji every day really, really hard after she put in her application!

I wish she could go ahead any get to Japan. Then she would see how hard it is there.

>>4465449
actually apparently you don't have to speak the language at all. you just have to know english.

Where'd you pic up this gem OP? It's not no lj, so idk where it could be.

Can't she just not say the "under God" part? It wasn't even in the pledge until the 50's, it sounds just fine without it. Just say everything else except "under god" like a sane person if it bothers you so much. No normal person is even going to notice or care if you don't. That's what I do and no one has ever noticed.

>>4465449
um, not for the JET program you don't. You don't have to speak the language and they actually prefer for you to only have a mild interest in Japanese culture and more of an interest in teaching. They don't want some weaboo tourist getting into the program (although some do).

>>4465437
I can understand it offending people, I never said the pledge in school either because I think it's unnecessary. Bu what does the pledge have to do with Shintoism?

>>I could spout cruel things about other people

she does spout cruel things about other people.

>>4465484
Depends on the state/school and how religious it is.

Because I couldn't do it in my school but my school was strict Christianity.

People can and will give you problems over miner things such as that. Especially really zealot people or people who need to waste time.

Remember how that one girl messed up the pledge during the super bowl, even though half the people don't know the pledge anyway?

Religion and 'god' is always a shitstorm

>>4465380
>>4465437

It is possible to have duel citizenship in Japan as far as I recall, but it involves being married to a Japanese National and is rare and frowned upon at best. It's been a long time since I read about it so I might be wrong, but duel citizenship in Japan is possible.

>>4465505
That would be the national anthem you're thinking of. They don't say the pledge at sporting events.

>>4465517
Maybe Pixy can find a really cute Japanese guy there. She does look really Japanese and if she doesn't wear her brown contacts they'd think she was one of those half asian who look asian but have those coveted blue or green eyes.

>>4465505
She doesn't go to school, she's 26 or something...Is she teaching as a sub again? I don't know, I'm behind on the PT drama.

>>4465484

>>4465517
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_nationality_law#Dual_nationality

she's such a fucking basket case.

>>4465380

Eh, you can have dual citenship. If one of your parents is japanese you automatically get dual citizenship.

>>4465530
I doubt she's teaching again. After a bunch of people told her she'd have a hard time getting a teaching job with her photos out there she said something to the effect of not even caring about teaching anymore.

To think so many of us worthy tripfags have to live in the same state as PT. I'm ashamed to be Texan.

After JET, nudes and gravure modeling she called it quits and works at Target. And yes, she's still working at Target and wants to see where it will take her. I shit you not.

>>4465518
Yeah; sorry I got them mixed up. Still hung over.

>>4465537
>>4465530

Damn learned something new today. So you can huh?

It sucks that she could have an actual career if she wasn't such a delusional mess.

>>4465554
It's cool. You're right about half of us not know the words anyways.

I had a friend (Dane) who was an exchange student to America. She didn't want to do the pledge because she wasn't a fucking American, and people in her class got pissed over it, and complained to the school. In the end she didn't have to do it, but it was still pretty stupid. I find the whole pledge deal pretty fascistoid, and just another reason I never want to live in America.

>>4465571
>Euro

What country do you come from exactly?

>>4465571
We stopped doing the pledge past middle school except during special events (where the Star Spangled Banner was also sung). You weren't expected to say the pledge but *at least* stand.

>>4465581
not the poster youre asking but I share his opinions. what does the country matter?

>>4465587
>Another reason to not live in america which means you don't live here.

Not trolling just asking out of curiousity

Because I don't like it here either and I was born here.

>>4465571
I live in America. I just stand. No one says anything about me not saying it.
Is depends where you are.

>>4465582
This. The coasts and other places where you get a lot of foreign visitors are okay on this part and it's an alright compromise to just stand and not say anything, but the Bible belt is a pain in the ass. I don't see why some people have to get pissy about what someone else is doing, especially if they're not from your country/don't share the same beliefs.

>>4465546
Texas is a big state. And it has a lot of people worse than PT. If you're going to be ashamed to live here, at least be ashamed for good reasons, ffs.

>>4465595
Hi! I am the poster you're questioning. I am like my friend from Denmark - as said there's several reasons why I wouldn't want to live in America, but most of them stem from the fact that I strongly disagree with capitalism, which as an economic system is prevalent mostly everywhere, but is extremely prominent in America.

>>4465595
ah well I like the US and I wish to visit there someday!

but personally the things I'm most weirded out about america is crazy patriotism and religiousness.

Question posed:

What if Pixy goes to Japan and has a favorable experience, what will you anons DO?!?!

>>4465621
not the same poster youre talking to but do you think that communism is better than capitalism then?

I myself believe in market econmy with a little bit of capitalism(there shouldnt be a monopoly on any service/product though)

>>4465623
Welp.
That would be that.
Although I would be very confused for a while, no doubt. I would wonder how she managed to not freak everyone there out.

>>4465622
I'm this poster: >>4465621
And I have actually been to America. As a school trip my class visited New York City for a week (and went on a single day trip to Washington D.C.) While I love big cities because of the anonymity they offer, I couldn't help to notice that New York City was one of contrasts. The small Gothic churches between iron and glass giants aside - it seemed like a rich and flashy city at first, walking in the right districts... But a few steps in the wrong direction and there were homelessness everywhere. How can you can a city or a country rich when there's so many living in the streets? The most advanced and rich nation must be able to take care of it's weakest inhabitants, or it doesn't seem very advanced and rich to me.

>>4465613
THIS. can't wait to see her grorious nippon bubble get stomped on. wonder how much money she has saved....does she know everything (especially hotels/ryokan) are expensive as balls over there? i mean i ate really cheaply and stayed ay cheap places (although not hostels, as they were too out of the way for where i needed to be) and i STILL spent a shitton of money. and this was back when it was 120 yen to the dollar!

>>4465622
>>but personally the things I'm most weirded out about america is crazy patriotism and religiousness.

Just wanted to say that this is crazily overblown. I lived my entire life in Mississippi which is probably the most cited state for crazy religious and patriotic fanatics. Truth of the matter is, it's really dependent on where you live since the US is a huge and varied country that can make you feel like a different country.

For instance, where I am it's a church in every corner but it's definitely not pushed. It's just there and sometimes you see fliers for a bake sale or fundraiser for a charity or something. And around here, I mostly stand and sometimes cite, but not the under god part and no one really gives me shit. My area has a huge military base so a lot of my family has officers and it's a show of respect for their service.

I'm not saying the US is the bestest country in the world, but it's a nice place and you'll definitely find some areas better than others. More than Americans, citizens identify themselves to specific states or regions so it's really no different when other europeans wank their own countries.

I'm sick of everyone talking about the dumb pledge. I want dramu! I think we should turn this into a "pixy in Japan" scenario thread. What do you anons think will happen?!!?!

Honestly at first she'll probably feel isolated and awkward. She could get odd looks and maybe think that they're admiring her. She's going to get odd looks for her weight, but if Pixy actually keeps to herself and misunderstands all the looks she could have a pretty decent time in Japan look at the kawaii stores.

>>4465658
>>Truth of the matter is, it's really dependent on where you live since the US is a huge and varied country that can make you feel like a different country.

Herp a derp, I meant to say that the US is a huge and varied country that can make you feel like you're in a different world with just a few miles.

>>4465637
I do not apply to a specific ism, as I there's always things I disagree with. Call me an ideologist, if something. Or (my name)ist. For example, I am a Christian, but I have been told that I can't be a communist by a communist because of it. Furthermore, I don't believe in violence, so no violent revolutions from my side. I do like civil obedience though, and I believe that authorities must always be questioned.

>>4465623
She probably WILL have a good time. Tokyo is a lot of fun, especially if she's going to be going with a friend.

I want her to go there to study, and be put in the middle of nowhere. THAT will be justice, that will crush her dream. Places like Tokyo, Osaka, and other big well known places are accepting of westerners. I want her to be put somewhere that isnt.

>>4465662
I cannot stress this enough. I've always lived on the East coast, and when I came to the Midwest I was in culture shock for about 5 years. Then I took a long geology trip to map some faults in Utah for a class and it was like going to another country. Every place is so very different and if one has never visited the US I personally suggest trying to visit as many different places as possible. It's hard to judge such a huge country based on one town in one state.

As for PT I hope this trip does her good. Maybe all she needs is this to get the whole GLORIOUS NIPPON thing out of her system and helps her focus on making a better life for herself.

>>4465672
I think she's going alone.

>>4465673
*to help. Man I'm tired.

I always stand up and say the pledge when its time to. I feel the least I can do is show pride in my country. I don't do anything else to help it as of now. Despite all the shitty things in the USA, I'm very thankful I live here.

>>4465672
agree that tokyo is super fun....i went alone and had a blast. is she going with someone? i thought she really didn't have IRL friends? correct me if i'm wrong. BUT, i think she expects the japanese to fawn all over her....and i'm willing to be she'll wear some of her 'fashions' while there.....which will definitely get her negative attention, espcially considering her weight.

i can see it now: "WAHHH they're ignoring meeeeeee!! don't they see my kawaiiiii desuness?????"

also her language skills are horrendous and she'll probably be unable to really communicate with anyone japanese. contrary to popular belief, most japanese people can't really speak much english, or aren't very confident in their ability, so they won't try.

>>4465683
OH! I just want to say I don't care if others don't do the pledge. It doesn't effect me.

>dual citizenship

I am amazed that anybody'd want it.

>>4465687
The ones who will try to talk to you in English are usually pretty creepy. Or hosting you.

>>4465687
me again. just want to clarify that even outside of mainstream tourist hotels there's very little english spoken. i walked into a small business hotel i had reserved a room at and the guy at the counter had this look of fear on his face until i started speaking in japanese.

can't wait to hear about her failed attempts at communication!

>>4465651
You can't base an entire opinion about the US on school trip to NYC.

I moved to the UK but I'm an American and everyone I meet who has some strong opinion about it has based it on one weekend trip to Florida or NYC or whatever.

Do you even know how the US's government works? Do you know how hard it is to police an entire nation like that? Every state has its own laws and body of government.

>>4465691
I know right? Have fun blowing ALL your money paying taxes to two countries.

I am happy and thankful to be an American citizen but in high school during the "pledge time" I refused to say it and instead stood to show my respect. I refuse to recite something I don't fully believe in but I do respect the concept and the United States itself. Maybe that sounds stupid, I dunno.

>>4465717
Amen. You should talk about some podunk part of Britian next time and say how you think all of the contry is like that.

>>4465651
There are homeless people everywhere.

>>4465622
Depends on the area.

I know a lot of zealots in the midwest that think the devil is in people who commit suicides from pre-existing conditions among other things.

Some parts of the south is like this and some parts are lax so it really depends on the area.

I still deal with racist, christian, upright, conversative white people sometimes in Newton,Iowa.

Denmark? How is that? I heard they celebrate the fourth of july. I thought about moving to a Nordic country like Denmark or Norway.

>>4465727
No, I did the same. And I live smack in the heart of the Biblebelt too. No one around me really cares if you say it as long as you stood. and even then, no one really cared if some folks didn't stand.

>PT goes to Nippon
>gets approached to star in a gravure video
>winds up in Hyper-Elastic Gaijin Manko 14
>hfw

>>4465451
I just want her to go and be laughed at for trying to pursue a ~gravure~ model career. She really and truly believes that as soon as she lands her hooves on the pavement, she's going to be scouted by an idol company that will make her the new pocky commercial mascot.

The best thing she can hope for is being a fetish for white girl chubby chasers, which actually isn't very different from what she's doing now.

With luck, maybe she'll finally be able to stop with the ass out angle photos.

>>4465738
I'm still kind of shocked that she would upload that photo.

>>4465721
wtf man, I dont think you have to pay taxes to two countries unless you work or have property in both.
or does this only apply to US citizens because we dont have this in my country?

>>4465745
>She really and truly believes that as soon as she lands her hooves on the pavement, she's going to be scouted by an idol company that will make her the new pocky commercial mascot.

Where has she ever said that? Just because she's working towards a rather unrealistic dream doesn't mean she doesn't realize it will be hard work and difficult.

I went to school in the North, and I had a teacher that would get pissed if you didn't stand for the pledge. She had no problem writing a referral and getting your ass detention. The school didn't care either. Her argument was "If you can't even stand for the pledge GTFO America". I see where shes coming from, but damn its not that serious at all.

>>4465758

No, she has it in her head that Japan is the only place in the world where she feels like she'll really belong and that she'll fit in perfectly the second she gets there, and that everything will be better then. She sees it as the perfect remedy to all her problems in life.

If that's not unrealistic, I don't know what is.

>>4465772
Again, where has she said that?

>>4465738
She has gotten fatter since her melty choco era

>>4465778
she's always talking about how "she doesn't fit in here" and how "no one understands" her 'dreams'. it's pretty sad actually.

>>4465755
you have to make more than $80,000 in a year to have to pay US taxes.

you also have to report all savings above $10,000 which is a pain.

with exchange rates it can affect a lot of people who are in the upper middle class and can't really afford to pay more taxes which is why some people renounce their citizenship.

>>4465772
mfw

weeaboo

I just discovered Pixyteri like... two days ago. Why do you guys talk about her so much? Just wondering. From what I've been told there are like five threads a day about her.

>>4465788
Oh, so you were just putting words in her mouth. That's cool.

>>4465755
Well, I'm assuming you would have those. I mean, why else be a duel citizen if you didn't?

>>4465805
I did too but from what I gather she is:

Extreme case of weeaboo; thinks Japan is the 'best country ever desu,' and thinks USA sucks balls hard. Feels that all her problems will be fixed in Tokyo, Japan because there is no other better city in Japan desu and doesn't really do anything in her life besides go to random courses in college and work minumum wage.

Scary how much /cgl/ post about people's personal lives. Like stalker whoa.

Girl reminds me of a girl version of my ex bf.

>>4465806

Read her LJ. No words are being put in her mouth, she's stated that on many, many occasions. If you're too lazy to go check for yourself, that's on you, but she says stuff like that on a regular basis.

>>4465792

Don't call her a weeaboo. Seriously, don't.

>>4465806
FYI i'm not >>4465745
or >>4465772

just another observant person watching a delusional chick

>>4465829
>>She really and truly believes that as soon as she lands her hooves on the pavement, she's going to be scouted by an idol company that will make her the new pocky commercial mascot.

Where does she say this?

Oh jesus shit, PT honestly gets dumber and dumber every time something new crops up here. It's like her IQ is regressing with every disgusting, barf-worthy photo of her fat, flabby griddlecake ass.

Like the other Anon here, I'm British (born English though, didn't move from anyway) and even England hates the fuck out of America, can't even begin to imagine Japan. I haven't been yet myself, but one of my friends is half-Japanese and goes there at least once a year to see her family, and people are VICIOUS to her just cause she looks kind of white and speaks English. I mean, she's really pretty, very thing, and has all the Asian genetic traits (dark hair and eyes, eye, nose and mouth shape, etc) but you can still tell that she's partially Caucasian. She's told me horrible things about how people treat her.
Can't wait for PT to experience even nastier racist biggots.

>>4465829
Why not? Doesn't she fit that?

From what another thread mentioned:

Has dislike hatred of one's country and thinks that Japan is the best country in the world.

Isn't this what /cgl/ pointed out? Please tell me because I'm new with her

>>4465865
>anywhere
>thin

Why the fuck can't I type jesus

>>4465865
That's actually more of the fact that she looks like a foreigner, much less than being from X country.

>>4465865
I'll tell you right now its not because she looks white and speaks English. That would be a fucking plus to a lot of people. Its because she probably looks like a foreigner, acts like a foreigner, and talks like a foreigner. She might also say/do some things that piss others off without realizing it.

>>4465865

You must live in some shitty place in England. I'm an American in London, and nobody gives me shit. I used to worry about that too, so I wouldn't tell anybody that I was American till I felt comfortable with them, in the end nobody gave a shit. Specially nobody who mattered.

Only my friends take the piss out of my accent and how I say words. So you're basically proving to me that no matter what country you go to the reaction you get from people varies from area to area.

>>4465925
Also keep in mind she might be blowing her stories way out of proportion. Especially if your country hates America .

>>4465865

>>4465899
>That's actually more of the fact that she looks like a foreigner, much less than being from X country.
This. The fact that they can tell she was not born or raised in Japan and she is not full Japanese.
But even if you do look Japanese, the fact that you were not born or raised in Japan will have people be mean to you. Is very hard.

>>4465925
This. I'm really, really white and a bit chubby, but when I went to Japan I tried my best to understand what people were saying despite the language barrier, stayed quiet, and just overall acted respectful and the worst things I got were strange looks on the train. Other than that, everyone was very nice to me(...aside from some Indian men who were on vacation, but that's a different story), even when I stated I was American.

Japanese-born Caucasian here

My parents were in JET when they had me, anywho, in Japan you can only have citizenship if you have a Japanese father in the whole family registry thing, otherwise you can't get it. Good luck to Pixyteri in getting adopted by a Japanese man XDD

>>4465899
Ah, I was more or less trying to get that point across, but got derailed by my own ramblings.

But seriously, PT is going to be laughed at and made fun of for being a fat old wrinkled white whorebag, people will point and laugh on the streets, and some clothing stores will probably even refuse her service, because of her bulging, oceans of heaving fat.

We can hope that she'd do the sensible thing, realise what a pathetic retard she is, come back to the USA with her dreams ripped away, and then get the fuck off the internet never to be seen again and get a real job. We can hope.

What is more likely is that her autistic delusions are SO STRONG that she will just block out all the laughter and stares and pointing and racism and people judging and making fun of her (just like now) and come back to the US even worse that before.

Enjoy, seagulls.

>>4465865
They the hate the british in japan seriously everyone hates the british, i went to work in the emirates and saudi i got my Irish passport for the return trip, due to my mother being born there. Getting through border control was so much easier and they were much friendlier. I use the irish passport to travel now, getting into other countires is so much easier when they find out you are from a conutry that hates the British as much as they do.

>>4465932
I'm an American, and when I was in London on vacation once, I had some random guy come up to me when I was at a restaurant and start yelling. Shit about the war in Iraq and how I was stupid. I was really shocked and I just started crying right there in the restaurant. An employee came up and kicked the guy out for harassing a 14 year old girl, and I didn't have any problems the rest of the trip. Everyone else was really lovely, and I hope I have as good an experience when I visit again this summer.

>>4465932
Birmingham, and believe me bro, I will be the first to say that it is a shithole. Everybody hates everybody here, no question. Hell, if I could move out to London like you I would. I'm likely going to go live somewhere out in Bath once I finish up with College.

>>4465925
I can see your point, but she's honestly the nicest, sweetest, most quiet and polite person I've ever met in my life. Like I said, her family is in Japan and she visits them there a lot. She knows how to act and how to conduct herself. She still gets hate, because her Japanese is accented and she is quite clearly only half nipponese. Not everyone there treats her in a bad way, but some still do and that was my point. PT would get it even worse.

>>4465954
come to North Yorkshire for the authentic stuck in the past British feel

This girl's face should be what you see when you look up the word weeaboo. She is the fucking definition. It's not about liking anime, playing japanese video games, eating japanese food, collecting figures, it's not even about wearing cat ears or doing caramelldansen like a retard. It's THIS shit right here. Thinking Japan is this magical glorious place when you've never even been there, and deluding yourself into thinking that you can move there, live there and work there and just fit right in and your life will be better.

This girl needs a very, very serious dose of reality.

>>4465954

You we're harassed and you were 14, shit sucks. I think overall people need to stop generalizing people based on what countries their from. Even on this board of anonymity that shit gets pulled. It's stupid and base it only on what they see on TV and what a country's government does.

Whatever.
>>4465960
It's Birmingham. It's understandable why everyone hates everyone it's dreary, that's why great musicians come from there, cause they want to get the hell out of the black country

>>4465843

>>4465960
Oh man anon I completly misread your post!!! I thought you meant she visited America and got shit, not Japan! I'm sorry. Yeah I would have to say that not only is she a foreigner, she might also be seen as a race betrayer or something ridiculous like that.

Everyone gets made fun of for having a accent, where its not common. Its horrible to be harassed about it though. But I see what your saying, PT will have a very hard time.

>>4465975
She's still not saying anything close to what was anon claimed.

>>4465986
it's been said, there is someone with the screen caps, but most people do not keep those

>>4465979
Hahahaa, no it's cool then. I didn't know you'd misread and thought you were still talking about Japan, hurrdurr.

But yeah, we're basically looking at two possible outcomes if PT ever does go to Nippon. The one we all want, where she realizes her idiocy and never rears her ugly ass on the internet again, and the one we'll probably get, where she comes back even bigger, fatter, louder, and more stupid than before. God help us.

>>4465986

CLOSE ENOUGH

She will never live in japan. Getting a place is extremely difficult unless someone sponsors your visa... Which very likely will not happen for her.
Also Americans can not get working holiday visas.
She can visit for 90 days, and then her ass is out of there.

But I give her a week. She won't be able to handle it.

>>4465964
>>4465960
>>4465954

Is London a good place to live in general if you are from America? I want to just live the 'British experience.'

I also don't want a place that's full of idiots as mention but I can deal with some ideas.

Am I a weeaboo if I find British and Russian/Slavic nation guys hot? Especially their accents.

>>4466009

It's a multicultural city, people from errwhere visit an live here, and just like every country you get racist wankers, there's nothing you can do about it, just take it as it comes.

Though don't expect to be eating butterfingers and drinking true Mountain Dew cause it's not here. And it might take a bit to get used to the food and the fact that hot dogs come in jars

>>4466003
What I don't understand is, realistically, what does she expect to DO in Japan? Like many people have said, she won't be able to get a work Visa, especially since she likely won't have a job lined up anyway. She could illegally immigrate, of course. But who would hire her? I saw a show once about some Canadian and European girls who moved to Japan to become hostesses at bars, and they made good livings but often they got paid extra to have sex with their customers and that's where the good money came from. But then you have to worry about transportation and navigating your way to your job and securing a place to stay. Who would rent to her? She's being very unrealistic.

>>4466021
Hot dogs come in cans here so no problem with that.

I thought about living in London instead of ol' USA due to the government issues and police problems. I can change my eating habits in a second and it seems like a fun place to live. I know I won't be able to find fried chicken and gyros like here but meh. Is it also a good place to transition in terms of govenment and law besides 'all hail the queen?'

Also PT seems like she doesn't know Japanese laws fyi. Law system there is worse than many other countries when it comes to women and their rights.

>>4465952
