You'll be very valuable to someone

moral of the story; leave school, learn something useful

excel at it

Don’t leave school...

Where do they teach trades in public school?

true

dont' go

@PureEvilPie I never read "the last samurai", I know that from a historty book

No no

I was making a joke

hehe

It’s some American film

😉

Yeah I know, with tom cruise

Ya

It is embellished, compared to the real story

Which I find more interesting

isn't it always in the movies?

I wish they made that Marco Polo series more historical, rather than having Marco Polo save fucking Mongolia

only books can be accurate yet interesting

unless the story already has ALOT of drama

One brit turned out to be pivotal for a unification of Japan under one ruler, AND a great technological leap forward

That series was great except for bloody Marco Polo

Fascinating story that

well, that phenomena is well documented; hell, i've experienced it

especially when dating a german

you tend to come up with different ways to express things and make less hard assumptions

hard assumptions impede communications

i can see how one Brit could affect such an impact

Well, Japan was also scammed by NL at that time

NL?

And this one brit disspelled the lies

The Dutch

ah, Netherlands

yeah, there is that aspect to; cultural blindness

They monopolised the trade with Japan, and didn't allow any other nation to trade with them

All while outright lying to japanese

things like that is why i couldn't stand Borat

And trying to push christianity onto them

That brit, he was a protestan, and he ruined their little scam
