WHAT YOU SAY

[This page is closed to new input. --Ed.]

goes something like this for those who know: Germany, France, Italy then maybe England, Sweden, etc. Name one good product from England that you use on a regular basis. What A&F and their "two Wongs make it white" T-shirts? Forget about technology and autos that last. Nothing, England relies almost solely on pop culture that America buy heavily into.

About 90% of England is backwoods sheep molesters. All the average American knows about England is London, Big Ben, parliamentary structures and the Beatles. There seems to be no knowledge of what surrounds the cities as well as all the backwards thinking and ideas of racial supremacy. That's why regular English pop-culture, non-London of course, has so much in common with Southern white trash culture here in the States. Watch the movie “The Full Monty” to see what the average noble Englishmen are like.

TSJ, is once again defending those who belittle him most. Bravo Uncle TSJ, Bravo. Penelope, get TSJ some help.

"Maybe you think if you ignore it or laugh with it, it will just go away."

Hey! He actually does think that! Kinda neat how you read his mind."

It doesn't need to go away if it isn't a problem to begin with. What you view as someone with a "see no evil, hear no evil" attitude can possibly be a person who doesn't care about such trivial things, and spends time worrying about more important issues.

"In cantonese, 'string' is also a slang for 'witty' or 'smart'. Or are you speaking of a different word?"

I'm talking about a piece of "string."

"England is a racist insignificant country with no clout in Europe."

How do they have no clout? Most of the Euro music comes from Britain. What European country would you say has the most influence?

Once again, we have some anonymous poster who doesn't even use the same name every time...

TSJ- I've heard that same phrase "survival of the fittest" from other Asians, and it makes me angry. How can you know what another person's life is like until you walk in their shoes? Why do Asians have so little sympathy for the downtrodden? About 30% or more of the homeless are mentally ill, is it their fault that they were born this way, and maybe their families rejected them? What if your life took a terrible turn of events, your whole family was murdered, you became so sick you couldn't work, got evicted, then you might expect some sympathy right? Do you not feel the slightest pang of guilt when you're sitting inside your nice house all toasty and warm while thousands of homeless freeze to death every year? Have some freaking compassion for other human beings.

Well, I know some Chinese tattoo artists who does "cool" looking characters on non-Chinese people, with words that make absolutely no sense. They do it on purpose, so Chinese people can laugh at them. One of the gangbangers in my neighborhood has a sick tat with the word, "string" on his arm! hahaha
