Your life is sadly lacking if you do not know who Winston Wu is. He is the guy who was put on this earth so that every other guy can say ādamn, I am so glad Iām not himā.
The thread topic is an exercise in sweeping generalisations. You can hardly be offended if you get replies in the same vein.
[quote]Sorry to rock your boat, but some of these Chinese ladies Iāve talked to own their own import/export business. And others got an MBA degree in California, before returning to China. How do you explain that?
Furthermore, most of them said they prefer to live in China rather than the USA or Taiwan. How do you explain that?
It sounds like the data doesnāt fit into your stereotypes and prejudices. So what now? Will you guys employ cognitive dissonance? Or be more logical and objective about this?[/quote]
Have you met them? I know a Nigerian bloke whoās 29, blonde and with legs up to here, who has millions in the bank that he, erm, she would be happy to share with me once weāre married.
Depends on the social context. You canāt say ALL poor people are salt-of-the-earth types while ALL rich people are assholes. You canāt even say āmostā. The problem in China is this: during the cultural revolution, virtually nobody escaped what is sometimes referred to as āmoral inversionā: the complete destruction of established social values and their wholesale replacement with immoral ones. What happened during those times doesnāt bear thinking about, but it was only one generation ago. Not only do those āvaluesā live on (in the people who are still alive, and their children), but the scene was set for further debasement of Chinese culture. The majority of Chinese today (about 80%) are still dirt-poor, in real terms. Those who became rich generally did so by dubious means. Sure, there are probably tens of millions of decent people in China. There are probably a similar number with massive personality problems, mental illnesses, etc., and personally I wouldnāt like to take the chance.
I like you, NonTocareLeTete.
Taiwan girls look different tooooo they are so ājian shueeeeeā
