[quote=“jdsmith”]I’m sure if the government wanted to crack down and find the notorious creator of these flags, it would be chaos.
FAP: Are you “Smell the glove?”
Me: No, no. You should say “DO you smell the glove?” And No, I do not.
FAP: Huh?
Me: Huh shrme huh? Do YOU smell the glove?"
FAP: No, I am not “smell the glove.”
Me: No, DO you smell the glove?
FAP: I can not smell the glove. I’m Taiwanese.
Me: Huh?
FAP: Huh shrme huh? Are you “smell the glove?”
Me: Can you shoot me please?[/quote]
Maybe it would be “smell this glove” after they’ve finished your rectal exam? After all, isn’t it common knowledge that all foreigners are druggies?
The articles tone seemed to me to be one half-insulted, half -condecending, as if to get people a bit riled, but then let them feel superior in the end. Perhaps it’s me ‘thinking’ too much
The white sun only seems to be offensive to Taiwan Independence supporters. The ROC is not an ex-western colony like Hong Kong or Macao, and commands far more respect from the CCP and mainland Chinese. The flag will stay the same, or the CCP can wait a hundred years.
In case you were really curious, mr. glove sir, I do try to my best to contribute and raise the level of discourse on this forum… which, alas, can require quite a bit of time! But when I’m in the mood for a little juvenile socializing, I typically take that off-line and enjoy that in the real world … rather than seeking out my “cyber-buddies”.
(But hey, if I lived in a society where 99% of the locals couldn’t communicate with me fluently and viewed me as a perpetual foreigner… maybe I’d spend more time online, too! )[/quote]
That was a pretty offensive little message, CC! How about all those Chinese students online with each other all the time? Pretty snide of you to drop “juvenile” “raising the discourse” and a stab at trying to make us feel uncomfortable about being in Taiwan. If that’s all you have to say then why bother? Or should I say, Don’t bother. Conceited racists we don’t need.
Actually, he is a worthy debating opponent. CC, sorry I overreacted. You message was a bit irritating but it wasn’t directed at me so I shouldn’t have jumped in like that. We have to deal with trash debaters like AC now so it’s easy to fly off the handle. If you get tired of vodka-and-cran fueled street battles with Tibetan refugee (“scum” I believe you once called them? ) youth, please feel free to express your opinion with us online. AC is filling in for you in the “devils-advocate to the Western thinker” role and it’s kind of like having Gilligan-on-LSD running the boat instead of the skipper.
I have seen this flag on some websites which have discussed the OPENING of the American Institute in Taiwan in Neihu District, Taipei, in mid-2011. Some sources are saying that in addition to the US flag, this flag will also be raised.

Of course, they’re talking complete and utter shite. Who would EVER have guessed?
