Questions to people learning Japanese

1. Who are you? (Age, sex, location and everything else you are willing to tell us)
2. Why are you learning Japanese.

I'm asking this because I want to know if the people who are trying (notice the word 'trying') to learn Japanese are just a bunch of weeaboo faggots, or if they have a more sane reason to do so.

1. 20, Male, Texas 'n' shit, I wear a cowboy hat
2. I'm learning Japanese because I'm into World War II.  I've taken several years of German and am trying to advance beyond "incomprehensible shit" to "mediocre beginner".  I'm starting Japanese now.  I will embarrass the entire Russian nation by slaughtering their language at a later date.  Hopefully, maybe by the time I'm 90 I can read Saburo Sakai's memoirs or whatever the fuck he scribbled on some TP (they actually use bamboo paper in Japan, thus all Japanese are very environmentally friendly and are perpetually bleeding out the ass) and maybe before I die when I'm on the page before last, I might kind of get what he meant.  But more than likely I will have wasted my life trying to read books about a war the American nation has turned into a fucking comic book.
