You asked; I provided. Ms. Kasai isn't about cooking and home furnishings and manners. She's an expert in the field of intercultural studies. She, along with many of her colleagues, when queried, suggested that Obama's bow was culturally appropriate and did not make for news in Japanese culture.

You sure her expertise is not in the field of classic piano? I guess anybody can call themselves an expert in anything they want. That is, if they want to. I guess one plays classics with the ivorys while the others cook classics with the taters.

Hey, I can pick and grin a little myself. I guess I could "proclaim" myself an expert in nuclear physics too. If you need any advise on that stuff on the side, just give me a PM. It's all top secret stuff, but I'll share with you, since we're buds. :biggrin:


Naw, you'll have to better than that CM. lol

They can call themselves an expert, true enough... however, I doubt they'll stay employed at an Academy. Look it up, Kimball. I'm tired of your dog and pony show.

Whose to dispute any of it? Who knows any different anyways? It's all based on someone's own personal ideas and opinions to begin with. There's no science to this stuff. I doubt if anyone truely knows if it's right or wrong. Heck, they can make it up as they go along. "Cultural Academy" ? Could be it's like one of those high society Beverly Hills type establishments. You know, one like Mrs. Drysdale would take her poodle to. You can call em anything you want to. It's just a business for someone to make a yen or two off of, Caveman. lol I could put in a dance studio and teach ballet or teach Barney Fife Kung Fu in Booneville. Here in eastern Kentucky, who would know the difference if it was right or wrong or if I knew the first thing about what I was talking about or not.

Anyway, I'm done with this one.:yawn: It's way too easy.

I suspect what your really tired of is someone that will go toe to toe with you on this stuff, and not let you be the bully anymore.

Look up JAL Academy, Kimball. That's all. The bow was an appropriate cultural action. You have offered NOTHING to refute that. You, apparently, despise Barack Obama enough that even a modicum of fairness escapes you in a trivial matter. So be it.
