I was on youtube the other day listen to can you feel the love tonight in Japanese, and while it was playing I started to read the comments, and one person asked what Watashi and two other words were, now I though watashi was what females say for I and ore is what males say for I, so I said that, but then this guy came on and said

'i know you're trying to be helpful but you should really check what you're writing is correct before you post it.watashi isn't used just by females its genderless.men and women use it.watashi wa igirisu jin desu is i am english for both sexes.ore is a really rude way to say i and its mostly used by young japanese men cause its seen as cool so i wouldn't recommend using it to the japanese.i studied japanese at uni and learning to be polite is the first thing we're taught.its a big thing in japan.'

Now fair dos I got my info wrong, but I think this person went a little over the top in saying I was wrong and adding s/he learn Japanese in uni came across as kinda snobbish to me, now if they had just said

'Just so you know it's Watashi for both male and female ore is the rude way of saying I' then I wouldn't of made this sarcastic comment

'Well sorry, but I only know bits of japanese, we don't all study it in uni (Saying you do makes you sound like a snob, but I'm not saying you are) So give us who know some japanese but not a lot a break.'

So they said I had taken there comment the wrong way and was getting all worked up over it, now I understand why they said that since it isn't easy picking up sarcastic comments, but the way they had put that I had taken it the wrong way and was getting worked up over it made them seem more snobbish.

Do you think it is a little snobbish or am I just taking it the wrong way?

This is something that I've been thinking about since I saw an ad for a film called the unborn and this is what I came up with.

What if unbirths are people who died before they were born, and their souls became unbirths.

I know there isn't much there, but it's just something quick I came up with.

The say that if a person
Says a glass is half full
They are optimistic
But if it is half empty
They are not

But what if a person
Where to view the glass
In which it was filled
Would that mean
That a half full glass
Has never had a single drop
Taken from it like a new born child
Who has yet to know
What it means to change something
In it's own life
And a half empty glass
Has had water taken away
In order for it to change
Like all our lives do

I got this idea from thinking of the Half full half empty glass thing, where it shows how a person sees life due to what they pick, but I looked at this in a different light as it shows in this.
