I don't find: "I would tell ya another meaning of the word shakuhachi.
 But it isn't so polite - very sexual. Just think of what else a
person looks like there doing while playing a shaku. You can ask your
girlfriend to give ya shakuhachi! :)
jason" offensive, insulting, but think: "SO IN ENGLISH THAT MEANS DONT
HAVE A JAPANESE GIRL TEACH YOU JAPANESE... :) People will think you
are okama, (gay) when you speak japanese to them. Listen well to
straight Japanese men and learn from them. jason" is a pretty messed
up. Who cares who's gay and who isn't? The above comment to which you
reply is just immature, the latter comes off as ignorant.
