Doesn't 'no' indicate the possessive form in Japanese? Similar to 's in English. Someone told me that Fuku no kame means luck's god = god of luck. Or maybe they said it means 'god with long earlobes.'

Yeah I'd noticed the Japanese structure of your name. Tora = tiger. no = possessive (roughly, 's). Kaze means wind. (As in Kamikaze actually means divine wind, and referred originally to typhoons that sunk fleets invading from China).
(Kami means god or godly. Thus Fuku no kame was probably fuku no kami.)

So I was wondering, Tora no Kaze ... why did you name yourself Wind of the Tiger? Tiger of the wind sounds poetic, but as it is it sounds like some serious feline flatulence.
Is that really what you meant?
Puzzled, of the Orient.

From what i understand it can be both wind of the tiger, tiger of the wind, or windtiger

Either way it is my birth year and my moon element.

I'm pretty sure (but not willing to bet my reputation) that the "no" indicates possession by the preceding noun.
I am an eigo-no-sensei, an Englishlanguage-'s-teacher. In the visa office I was Ostoraria-no-Zengum, Australia-'s-Zengum.
I'm pretty sure you are Tiger-'s-Wind.
I still think this is cool despite the fart reference.
You could be Kaze-no-Tora but that doesn't sound as good.
Maybe, ToraKaze, simply, TigerWind?

*throws off sheeps clothing*

So tell me again how many americans are without health insurance?

Urbane Guerrilla · 11-04-2007, 01:07 AM

Should a government, whose function is enforcing the civil peace, emphasis on the -force-, really be in the business of selling insurance? Seems to this libertarian that it should really be done as part of the service industry portion of the private sector. There's too much of "the gov't oughtta this and oughtta that."

Government agencies are never as monetarily efficient as private-enterprise endeavors, so their functions should be confined solely to those endeavors a society considers necessary, but which no one really can manage to make a profit at. Most of these functions are protective of the society overall or coercive, largely both, as in military expenditures. This function is analagous to the horns on an antelope or a deer: they entail a cost to the productive metabolism of the body, but function for the protection or perpetuation of that body.

And the number of adult Americans without health coverage who could really make use of it is much much smaller than alleged by people who think the socialist model of health care is the perfect model of health care.

Aliantha · 11-04-2007, 04:58 AM

Hmmm... I don't recall anyone saying the socialist model of health care is perfect.

tigerfarts is an awesome name!

ZenGum · 11-04-2007, 10:50 AM

Someone in China is probably using Tigerfarts as an aphrodisiac.

Agreed. And I believe that healthcare is one area which shouldn't be dictated by profit margins.
