Hi from Japan

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Japan? I'm envious.

I really want to visit one day, but I'm terrified of flying

Book passage on a ship. Some of them have rooms for company VIPs and they can take passengers if the bed isn't needed. They're interested in turn around time so they won't lollygag.

Shit, I live in America and feel less "American" every day.

Konnichiwa.

Welcome.

Welcome to the forum family.  I hope you enjoy it here as much as I do.

Do I recognize your screen name from another atheist forum that went down in flames the end of last month?

Yup, that was me. I used the same name at the Thinking Atheist place until it ended. 

(The name comes from Dante's Purgatorio -- the original Belaqua was a 13th century Florentine known for his laziness.)

Hi dude, I remember you from the forum that shall not be named glad you found a new hangout welcome aboard.

Thank you!

I suspect I'll do better here than on the previous place. The tone seems different, and I see some like-minded people. 

I hope......

Yeah, it's pretty light hearted here... I mean, is God/lack of, a topic to be taken seriously? Seriously?

This place is escapism at its best!

Welcome to the forum!

Hope you stick around. ^_^

Welcome aboard!

I recognize the name from TTA but didn't know you were from Japan, which is very cool. I'm a big pro wrestling nerd, and you guys have some awesome shows in your country. If you ever get chance you should check them out (if you haven't already)
