Let's Japan.org Debunking Eikaiwa and Ramblings in Japan

your wife does escort work? what the hell?!
You actually come on here and tell people that?
You do mean escort work, like i think what you mean? But I guess if its Tax free..

Sorry, my supervisor said I'm not allowed to sell more than 1 pack of fries, per day, to lard-arse database managers. Don't wanna' be sued when they have a coronary.

Are you allowed to serve those fries to Non-lard arse database managers? Nevermind, I'll just ask your supervisor.

Your powers of describing someone's physical appearance without ever laying your eyes on them are truly amazing, what else can you do?

I wonder, can you also look at the cover of any career opportunities publication and know that you have no hope of gaining employment from any of the jobs advertised inside, without even having to actually open it and read the positions available, qualifications and skills required?

Hey four-eyes! oh, you don't wear glasses? but I just insulted you for wearing glasses...
Hey lard-arse! oh, you are not fat? but i just insulted you for being overweight..

Hey loser eikaiwa teacher!...oh, you are a loser....

Reply to comments on a post by using random assumptions about the posters physical appearance to use as insults regardless of whether or not your assumptions are actually correct. It makes for a great reply and will render any possible further attacks on your persona obsolete.

"But Mr. Anonymous, you attack eikaiwa teachers for being stupid without ever meeting them or knowing anything about them" - hmm, that would be a good point except I am not attacking their physical appearances. I just use the cold hard facts about eikaiwa 'teaching' and its teachers to show my contempt for them, facts which are available in all their glory for everyone to see right here on the 'interweb' and by just observing these specimens in their natural habitat.

Besides, there have been scientific tests on eikaiwa teachers, the resulting information from these tests clearly showed that eikaiwa teachers are in fact losers.

I guess you guys will just have to keep chasing young students using your alluring 'gaijin'ness' and worldly knowledge from the 'outside', that is, until they get bored and ditch you when they realise you are just a loser who can't buy them that Louis Vuitton bag all her friends have got.

"No English teachers please"...brilliant!, no comments on that then?

feel free to reply with another comment about me being a lard-arse and help prove yourself to be even more of an idiot.

Anyway, as I was saying... fries and a Sprite.

and you are so morally superior, I'm sure you'll go to great lengths NOT to be there, when they read his will.

At least he saves lives. If there's one type of rich person I don't begrudge so much, it's Docs. They work hard, and study hard, and contribute to our betterment. Second only, in importance, to Database managers, I'd say.

hey man hows life on the warhammer front? impressed any chicks latley with your level seven mage powers?
you might be rich and on a career ladder...but your a nerdlinger.

I covered all of your poor attempts at a comeback in my previous posts. Your reply is just embarassing.

"feel free to reply with another comment about me being a lard-arse and help prove yourself to be even more of an idiot.". Thanks for proving yourself to being even more of an idiot.

look at this gem, "impressed any chicks latley..."? 'chicks'?
I can just imagine all the 'chicks' you have you impressed with your English 'ability' Charsima man.

I think if you spent less time trying to impress the 'chicks' and tried pulling your head out of your backside....uuh, whats the point?.. yeah, go for it Charisma man, good luck impressing those 'chicks', let me know how that works out for you.

"No English teachers please"...still nothing on that?

I've never seen an ad with that written in it.

Mind you I don't look up that many employment ads. I do go onto GP occasionally, I've seen a few jobs on there that weren't english teaching....but what the hey, I wasn't looking to change jobs.

"I covered all of your poor attempts at a comeback in my previous posts"

No you didn't, you ranted on and on in a rambling non-sensical manner repeating the same catch cries and lame jokes......in short, you made an utter cock of yourself.

Now come on, you're doing heaps better than the rest of us, go and have the time of your life........unless of course you really are just a troll.

Yeah,

Not sure what the pay off would be for that kind of behaviour.....maybe it gets him....excited?
Let's not go there.
I'm also not sure what the big deal is about Database admin, I'm sure if I went and did a few months-couple of years tops of night school at my local TAFE (Tech college) I could get the necessary qualification to do that job.
I could possibly even bullshit my way into a job like that down here in AUS atm as there's quite a skills shortage on.

Baffling really.

"No point in replying to "No English Teachers Please.
I've never seen an ad with that written in it.
Mind you I don't look up that many employment ads."

Thats because I was not talking about employment ads, oh Pedro, with your grasp on English reading your students must be gettng the best language 'instruction' possible.

So here it is again;
"Please, here's a classic example of Japanese womens' opinion on you guys;
Take a good look in any personals in any magazine, pay close attention the amount of ads with "No english teachers please" written in them. hmmm, yeah, can't see any "No IT professionals please" in there.....just Japanese women seeking 'professionals' for relationships..oops! that doesn't include you! (unless you want to pick up the kind of girl who will actually think you are 'cool' and date you soley because you are a gaijin.. go for it Charsima man!)"

So, "No English teachers please"?

Right you are Chimp guy,

I'll have to take that one on the chin, lifes like that.

See that, I can't admit to a mistake and I can take it when I'm wrong.
Try to learn from that example.
My students like that about me, they can see I'm honest.

Personal ads it is then.

But I still don't look up personal ads either....why are you looking in the personal ads?
Really, When in Japan I go to my favourite bar (in my hometown at least) have a few drinks, meet a few friends, often get introduced to locals and/or new people.
Or when I go out to eat, again with friends, I flirt a bit with the waitresses, once or twice I scored a number.

It's not that dificult, none so far have had a real problem with my profession. If they really have a problem with my income, they can go jump.

No personal ads needed

Easy really. Even for me, and I am no Lothario.

I haven't seen any posts from Richard Branson or Warren Buffet on here lately.

We are ALL sad losers!

Including me.

hey dude how goes it all?
chicks loving your extra thick glasses and dreams of being under a hundred kilograms?
`hey girls dont talk to those charisma men, theyre losers who dont even know how to put data into computers! come and talk to me and ill play top trumps with you!`

"English Teacher steal your girlfriend?"
when I was dating my girlfriend i didn't really have to worry about English teachers working their Charisma man 'charms' on her, they couldn't afford the places we visited and since we didn't tend to spend our time hanging around eikaiwa schools, luckily our contact with them remained to a minimum.
We do however still enjoy a good chuckle at you guys when hearing about your desperate attempts to 'get' Japanese girls from female colleagues and friends who have 'experienced' you guys.

Here's a hint Pedro, look up the word 'plural'.

"I've never gone looking for J-girl in the personal ads......"

There is someone called 'J-girl'? you have never gone looking for her in the personal ads? try looking her up in the phone directory under 'J'.

I am glad your students who are paying your wages are getting such a grade A English 'teacher' for their money.

ummm, can we have our money back?

Some women care a lot about a man's ability to provide money and his career future. Some women also know that eikaiwa jobs are not secure and not long term. Some women also rely on stereotypes to discriminate between good and bad partners.

Your error: Assuming that a few personal ads in a magazine are representitive of the whole population. The type of person who needs/wants to use a personal ad has always had more issues and personality differences than an "average" person. My information comes from experience talking to people that use personal ads.

Eikaiwa is like fast food but most people are using this job the same way people used a fast food like job (i.e. basic office work, factory work, landscaping, etc..) back home. I'm using it to support myself while I study part time in a Japanese college/decide my future.

Why do you stereotype eikaiwa teachers as the charisma man type? I hate the charisma man type too, but more teachers are not that type than are that type. You can't say "I hate losers because they are losers," because you would only hate them if you percieved that they had a bad effect on you, consciously or unconsciously. Do you get stereotyped by Japanese people who think all foreigners are like charisman man english teachers? That's a Japanese problem as much as it is the teachers' problem. Are you angry that someone who is very different from you and doesn't share your values can be happy and, at least in the short term, achieve his goals, and not care about your opinion of his job? That would be a problem with you.

"The ongoing pursuit of chicks"; I don't do this, and I don't like it. However, please realise that this phenomenon presents itself in the male population ALMOST EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD. You're an idiot because you think how a person pursues women, i.e. only using the cool gaikokujin factor/english factor, is what makes a person a loser. People in general tend to use what works within their situation. If you fail repeatedly and give up, you are a loser. If you succeed, you are not a loser. I haven't met but a small percentage of English teachers who complain about failing with women. If you say that the quality of women is different between your group and teachers' group, then you have failed to realise there is a paradigm shift.

I had the Yamaya training. Really the only good thing about it was when he made us the students and started talking with us in Japanese. The rest was crap.

Egao, sunao, and the rest. He spent maybe 30 mins to an hour explaining this. I felt like maybe he thought he was Mr Miyagi out of the Karate Kid, except judging from his saggy physical appearance he probably doesn't know karate at all. Wax on, wax off. Paint up, paint down. Me Japanese, have good wisdom.

By the way, his explanation of sunao as being objective, putting yourself in the students' shoes is bullshit. Sunao means meek and submissive. Probably how he likes his women to be.

It's funny, yes, Yamaya wants us to remember the students' names, but in the training session he REPEATEDLY forgot the same teacher's name (like 3 times!) What a f*ckknuckle.

"If you fail repeatedly and give up, you are a loser. If you succeed, you are not a loser."
so, your message here is never give up chasing the woman you want, because if you do you are a loser? hey Eb0li, 'no' means 'no'. It's going to be tough for you not to give up when you get that restraining order issued against you. Watch out ladies Eb0li doesn't know the meaning of the words 'giving up'.

"I'm using it to support myself while I study part time in a Japanese college/decide my future."
So you're just 'using it', that shows great professionalism and i'm sure it is very beneficial to the students.

Mr. X: so Mr.Eb0li, why do want this job teaching English?
Mr. EbOli: Oh, I'm just going to 'use it' to support myself while I study part time...
Mr. X: But don't you think the students are getting ripped off by unqualified people like yourself who are just here to 'use' English teaching to support themselves whilst waiting for you to pull your finger out of your ass and decide on a real career?
Mr. EbOli:.....

"Your error: Assuming that a few personal ads in a magazine are representitive of the whole population."

Your error: Trying to convince me (and yourself) that these ads do not show a widely acknowledged perception of English teachers throughout Japan as being undesirable.

I am sure you would love to argue facts and figures over this, but lets face it, if 'No English teachers please" is accepted and used as a common phrase in personal ads in Japan, I think we can safely assume that the majority of the population, (regardless of whether they personally percieve you as undesirable) who will see that phrase will understand that there are many people out there who DO percieve you as being undesirable and, like it or not, this will have generated a general perception that English teachers are undesirable in some way.
Like i mentioned earlier; "can't see any "No IT professionals please" in there" or any "No 'other jobs'" either, just English teachers as far as i am aware.

"The type of person who needs/wants to use a personal ad has always had more issues and personality differences than an "average" person. My information comes from experience talking to people that use personal ads." - Dr. EbOli (2008).
where to begin with this tragic comment...

It seems whilst you are masquerading as an English 'teacher', you are also a qualified psychologist.
Dr.EbOli psychologist/English instructor -
Need to learn English quick? Having emotional problems? save time and money by visiting Dr. EbOli for all your Counselling/English tutoring needs. Introduce a friend to recieve a 25% discount off your next session/lesson.

....jackass.

Lets imagine boatloads of unqualified, unskilled Foreigners washing up on your country's shore to 'teach' your children languages whilst they figure out what to do with their lives. Sound good?

sorry i just realised that you said when i was dating my girlfriend..so your probably single now. dont imagine overweight data programmers are the biggest hit with the ladies wherever your from.
where is that? shitstain tennesee?

They're African Americans.

Unless they're from London, in which case they're African American cockneys.

Please get your terminology right. Darkies have enough trouble to content with, without being mislabelled.

Thankyou.

There you go again at the typos.
The only thing you can possibly prove by that attack is that I'm a crap typist and that my proof reading needs work.

My career as an english intructor, not even close. I was bored because I was sitting at the computer looking up random shite on the interweb. Nothing to do with my teaching career, school had ended several hours ago.

If having lots of money means that I would have to frequent the same kind of places as you, full of people such as yourself.....well, you can keep it.

When I am actually teaching english I am pretty honest about it all, they know I'm not a specialist and keep coming back to my lessons anyway. In short, my students were happy with me and sad to see me leave. I'm still in contact with quite a few of them.

Charisma Man? You did lose your girl to an english instructor didn't you. It screams out at everyone in every word you post.

I've never been that charisma guy you keep generalising about, just an average friendly human being who can meet and make friends with people without too much of a fuss.

My goodness you HAVE been a busy little typer in my absence HAVEN'T you! Well anyway Mr Blubber-butt, just dropped back in to say goodbye. Been busy back at work now Golden Week's over. Did semi-enjoy feeding your trolls over the break, but now, really, they are a bit tiresome and tedious, wouldn't you say Mr Wobble Bottom? I mean the whole "charisma man" and "fries and coke" things are well past their use-by dates, don't you think, Mr Senmon Baka? Look, I'll give you a few things to try (gotta' warn you though, they're not likely to get anyone as hot under the collar as you), how about 'vocab bum-boys'...'language whores'...'100 yen hosts'...'salaryman's spitoon'...much more imaginative than just repeating the same two lines surely!
Once again Mr Friendless, I'm puzzled as to just exactly what it is about us former/current eikaiwa bods that rattles your cage. If your job/life is so 'top-o-the-tree', and you're so intelligent and well qualified, such a fine catch for all the high class Japanese women, and we are such bottom-dwellers, why, oh why, oh why do you spend such an inordinate amount of time on this site lambasting us? As I said before "methinks the lady doth protest too much". Do these words sound familiar "Go away fatty, you can't play with us!" or "Bye, I'm gonna' play with my real friends now!"?
Anyway, as I said, this is goodbye. Now if you really are as shallow and bitter as your post suggest I suppose I should feel sorry for you. But why bother. It isn't worth trying to explain to you why the things you fixate on are of no importance whatsoever to me. Your values are a universe away from mine and I'm sure you wouldn't be able to understand, even if I tried to explain it to you. I suggest you try to come to terms with whatever it was that gave you such a bilious hate of eikaiwa employees, forget it. It's over, in the past. Try to get out and meet some human beings every once in a while, watch a comedy, get pissed. Do something before you become a seething vat of acid.
So long, reply if you like but I won't.
Bye.

Eh??? I don't get it... oh! Bwahahahahaha! You refered to people of African descent as 'darkies' after seemingly making a stand for political correctness! Hahahaha! That almost went under my radar. Pure comedic genius!

While not being anywhere near as erudite or eloquent as my fellow posters I would also post my two cents worth.

I also hereby back out from this conversation/argument.

I forgot one of the golden rules, "Never try to teach a pig to sing, it wastes your time and annoys the pig".

I also forgot the other golden rule, "Never feed the trolls".

And, I'm also tired of making a twat of myself with my typos.

Enjoy arguing with yourself and your database admin job.

(assuming database=the copy of access on the local library computers, and Admin= He's a homeless unemployed guy who scrounges 100y pieces to use said computers)

"Content with", did you mean "contend with"?

I worked at Nova/G.whatever for years but now I never hear from them. Thank goodness. But my friend got an e-mail from G.con inviting him to become an internet teacher. The only requirement is that you have Skype. He was contacted because he is on Gaijinpot.

Let's see how this works now. . . you are a native speaker, a teacher, you are computer savvy (at least enough to have Skype up and running) and you're going to teach on the internet and give, what, half of your pay to G.scum just because??? I don't think so!

Absolutely!
I left IT because it offered no security at all. I Also had to worked with some seriously boring twats! IT may pay more her and there but it is just as Mickey Mouse a career as teaching. Especially database admin. What a bunch of toss!

Howdy cowpokes,
thought i'd wait for a good reply or two, obviously my expectations were too high.
Sure, i'll post up my personal contact details, thats a really good idea.
i'll start with my email address;

enjoy yourselves.

..."no Blacks please"... oops, i mean ..."no English teachers please"...

Cool!
And then we can all drink our own piss.

I work for G-Com in Yamaguchi prefecture. I am--how shall I say?--well-versed in the former-Nova's practices. Just wanted to let people know what's going on here.

The school is desperately short of income. There are no new students. All of the students, regardless of their interest in actually practicing English, seem to be using up old tickets. There are two teachers, and we both work part-time for about 1500 yen per lesson. We have Voice about three or four hours a week. We are never sure if they are going to close the school soon or not--and I cannot see how they are not planning to do so. Obviously, they have a legal obligation to honor the students' tickets, so they are keeping the school open. Don't ask why I work there. They brought in a new guy from England recently, but he's already so dispirited by the way things are run, he's on the way out.

If G-Com is going to survive the financial meltdown, they're going to need a lot of fairy dust.

See ya.
