i think you should date a chinese girl, Japanese are not as
easy to get on with because they are higher maintenance...
another good thing is they are open to new things, i played
some electronic music to Ying and she liked it, i played the
tuss and boards of canada, she had never heard stuff like it
before, but was interested.. and she agrees to try new
things with me, like for example, i want to go snowboarding
next winter, and she wants to try :)

Tarring an entire nation of people with such a broad strokes
brush is fucking idiotic. You know this so why do it? You
can't be that thick!

it's about frequency and experience, that's how you can
generate opinions of different cultures

if i told you that americans are more assertive and louder
than Japanese, would that be too broad an opinion? or would
you agree?

you can to a certain extent have broad opinions of entire
races based on your experience of being in that country, the
longer you are there, the more those opinions start to
solidify

another interesting 'broad' observation i had, is that
chinese people are less emotionaly expressive. they don't
often show public displays of affection. and you will find
this is similar in japan and taiwan, it's not common for 2
friends to hug each other. But over here we do! ...so i can
easily say something like, "Chinese people are less
emotionaly expressive than westerners" that's a very broad
satement isnt it? but because i know from being in China, i
can sum up the whole race as being that way.

And i'm sure Japanese people think that westerners are more
openly expresive than they are, again very broad opinion,
but it's true . there are shy americans, there are loud
expressive japanese people, but it's fine to make a
gerneralization based on frequency.

But when you get onto finer details, thens sure, not all
chinese girls will enjoy listening to 'the tuss' but my
point was that chinese girls are curious and keen to
experience western things, could be music, food, films etc
and i can definetely say this is true!

once i went to a meditation camp and i met a guy that
claimed to be a a martial art champion, that he read The Art
of War, that he went across all Cina and that he had a south
corean gf. at the end of the 10 days he called her by phone
speaking Corean language, and he sounded like a total prick.

I have never been to Africa, but my dad has been going over
there recently, they are energetic, vibrant and socialy
advanced, perhaps because poverty brings people closer
together.

In other words you are saying they run fast and fuck around
because they are poor?

What is wrong with generalising?

All you people who are criticising lar generalise all the
time, i am sure, so stop being so fucking judgemental.
Conceited people...

Yeah, so, tell me more about lovely Chinese girls, larn. :)
It is good that Ying is open-minded. That and innate
intelligence are the things I look for most in a girl.
Although, when it boils down to it, I am not sure if those
things come into play at all, lol...

What artists does Ying like then? Twin? BOC? I think BOC is
a good introduction to Electro, cos it is quite accessible
and relaxing. Make out music, maybe...

the homosexual french philosopher michel foucault also
thought that the modern western world is horrible and that
it fucks up people's minds and that the western liberties
are just subtle means to excerise even more contro over
peoplel.

then, in the 1970s, he supported the islamic revolution in
iran, which he saw as an alternative to the horrible
control-mechanisms of the west and was surprised that the
revolutionaries shot homosexuals.

oh it's alright tractern, i argued about western vs eastern
women in another thread, the main point of the argument was
the comparison, i was saying that chinese women make better
wifes, because they have a more traditional view on
marriage, ie respect for men, family, loyalty etc etc,
indeksikal and svalx both stressed that people are the same
all over the world and that you can't label a whole race as
being a certain way. i agree with this partly, there are bad
people all over the world, but my counter argument is that
my opinion is based on frequency, ie: research, experience,
general knowledge and understanding of history/human
phychology

My opinions are subjective, of course there are men who want
fiery dominant women with high demands ie: nice car, good
job, big house etc.. but i don't fit with that, i see beauty
in other ways, i can see a good heart in a poor girl from
china, and i feel a more human connection despite the
language barrier.

btw Ying likes the tuss, BOC, arovane, some older aphex
twin, but she doesn't like autechre, squarepusher, or
anything too dark and scary... i think you're right, she
should listen to more ambient chilled music at first

'of course there are men who want

Yes and those women exist in every country, as do the men
who want them for gods sake!!

well, you may want to talk to chinese girls about
tigers, probably before you would ask anyone in africa about
them.

one think about chinese girls is, however, is that they may
have less of a chance of being offended when you play them

west, east. Maybe I wish I was born in North Korea so I

And tractern: you're nice too. Good thread start even if you

Hm, I guess being a Westerner isn't so bad when you're in
another country, cos you will have more money and get a lot
for very little. Just from a purely selfish point of view,
of course. Still have all the problems ingrained in the way
you think, though.

Another bad thing is the impact the West has on fucking up
the rest of the world. So there's the guilt element for
Westerners (the one's who consciences, anyhoo) too.

Aw, I ran out of treacle toffees. :(

God we have it so bad in the west don't we?

Have you ever thought, perhaps you should be greatful for
all the good stuff you do have in life and also that since
you are presumably not directly attributable for all the
wrongdoings of the West that, rather than bearing the burden
of guilt, try and do something positive to counter the
situation, no matter how small.

Of course you could just make a fucking thread about it
