Do posters on forumosa represent (US) expats on Taiwan?

Says the guy what rote this:

“At least I would know I’m a male. They left can’t even figure out if having a penis means youre male.” :sunglasses:

I consider it as politeness. I won’t begin to pretend I understand it, but in the written form non-standard pronouns are easy to get right. When speaking it’s virtually impossible.

Hey, not me OK?

In Taiwan no one cares, he or she or it, all the same!

This is the sign of a truly progressive culture.

do they take esl classes?

Probably better than taking Marxist economics or poststructuralist architecture classes. :sunglasses:

Csl classes might be more practical.

This left right thing is also highly overdone. .
For instance : myself.

I would probably be classed a socialist here even though I am very much right of center for my home country. Probably in the last tenth percentile to the right. I think my fellow citizens pay way too much tax and are easily led.

I’m also not a fan of religion especially Islam.
I also think arming all citizens for self protection is counterproductive . That’s just an arms race in your neighbourhood and makes people afraid to say boo to each other. It’s not because I would want take away your ‘rights’ it’s because I’m from a society that doesn’t have guns everywhere and we don’t have many school shootings etc. Seems to work.

But I hate weasly pussies hiding on the internet taking cheap shots at people less well off than them or at some ethnic groups. That stuff is a slippery slope.

But Fox News tells me “there’s weirdos out there, and they’re coming for my shit”. If I don’t have a weapon how will I defend myself?

Sometimes it’s people that aren’t very well off to begin with and feel jealous of these other ethnic groups. For varying reasons. They can’t have a better life so why should someone else. (in their view)

They don’t say they work for FOX news.

Anyhow, does the title refer to us as in we/us or to US as in United States?
I wanted to mention this earlier, but forgot.

Its U.S

You mean it’s U.S

Yes

That’s another topic, but I haven’t seen a single proper use of acronyms or abbreviations here on this forum.
Hardly ever someone introduces the acronym he/she uses in a proper way, like:
The World Trade Organisation (WTO) blablabla…
Very often, I need to ask google and half of the time there won’t be an answer on the first try, sometimes never.
It’s a teachers’ forum, I guess.
