I absolutely am. I internet for fun, not for politics or education. Engagement, it’s an internet forum full of expat men, not an global thinktank of influencers. Pareto principle.
OK, ‘engages’ was perhaps the wrong word. No interest in or use for engaging most people. But polarity causes people to nail their colours to the mast so those people are not ‘hidden’. It’s kind of like dynamite fishing, I know, but it does allow you to see who you want onside. Not necessarily talking about flob.
I think it’s better when everyone has a voice- good to hear from everyone.
But i do hope that when non-Asian women say, “I like Asian guys well enough but have difficulties due to culture/language,” and then non-Asian men chime in and say, “Non-Asian women hate Asian men because they are effeminate, close-minded and have small penises (unlike us big burly hunks of awesome!)” then any reader will take us non-Asian women’s word for it when we say
It’s mostly language/culture differences that stop us from dating Asian men, nothing to do with all that other stuff.
I said it before and I’ll say it again— I’ve dated Asian men at home, they were awesome (also native speakers/culturally American) and I’ve met some very attractive (physically and mentally) ABC’s here and I’ve met several Taiwanese men that I’d have considered dating were it not for the language/cultural differences- one in particular (dreamy, dreamy sigh) who I’d rather like to be the father of my children… but I realize that the culture/language differences would make any relationship between us more difficult than otherwise and I’m a difficulty dodger myself…
And Rhiannon is just a spookily beautiful song, as is Landslide, but I suppose this only makes me a superficial fan.
Where’s the raycon? Rocket, I need to explain for me that although still a fuckhead, Nicks is preferable to McVie, if we are going with that 70s/80s thing of letting your bird join the band.
Haha, good one. Have you heard ‘Everywhere’? Rocket, I need you to tell these people why not everyone should get writing credit on ‘Tango In the Night’. When everyone is ‘equal’, you get some tambourine-shaker wailing ‘thunder only haaaapens when it’s raining’, standing next to the writer and performer of ‘Big Love’ and ‘Second Hand News’. And that pollutes us all. AMIRITE?
Writing credit for something they did not write (that was the dispute there, no? I’ll wait for Rocky Racoon’s synopsis)- of course not. The right for each to own and express their own brilliance/idiocy- the former for all to learn from and the latter for all to scoff at---- it’s a beautiful thing. It’s why this internet place is such a fantastic/utterly stupid place.
Er, no, not everyone gets a vote on the Security Council. Did Jimmy Page have his bird playing keyboards on ‘Physical Graffiti’? No. That was why he was grooving through Kashmir, not ringing like a bell in the night with Stevie Nicks.
Say what you will. Rocket knows he’s cooler than all them other mutts because Rocket is the only guy in all Taipers who, when waiting at a light and seeing the local guy crossing in front of him with the big plastic box loaded with chicken eggs, goes:
Koo Koo Ka Choo!
In all fairness, Rocket is, commensurately, the only dude in town who subsequently peshes himself laughing.
