The Cultural Differences between the East and West

[Ornery]

"I hope you do find love in your life later on when your career is more established..."

Hey William Hung, Amitab ain't Asian, and all your Asian honeys only want low life white guys anyway. Have fun with Rosie Palm, sport.

Digdug and AmbitV have done a compelling job on showing us how the East is great! Two dicks in one thread, both from the East!

I hate when people say that. Why can't they stay and try to change things? To me, the true Americans (in spirit) would stay and the false Americans tell people to leave because they have different views.

I didn't tell him to leave, but it's pretty stupid to move to a country willingly and at the same time tread on seemingly everything about it, don't you think? He comes off as somebody who thinks that the east is superior to the west. So, why is he living in the west? Because he's a hypocritical troll, as he admitted to in his last post.

I don't think that has anything to do with it.

Don't worry about all these suckas, they're just mad cuz you're rakin in the dough while they're living pathetic lives as monkeys at some call center, just so they can live from paycheck to paycheck paying the rent on their little shack so they can call themselves "independent". They eat fast food and canned goods because that's all they can afford, and while you were studying through college they were the ones kicking back guzzling beer and thinking the world owes them something.
Do not let these peasants get to you. We are better than them.

However I hope you do find love in your life later on when your career is more established. That is the one thing these boors have that you don't, and that is what keeps them motivated to continue living their worthless lives. However, in time you will find your love and once you do there is no stopping you. The sky will be your limit.
You may have to work on those bewbies though. Unless you are a guy, in which case you're set.

Asian pryde 4 life

ridiculous, you make me sick, not because you are asian, because you are an ass. this crap reminds me of that collar up thread or whatever it was, ooo, you're asian, big deal. you and the other idiot may make more money than me, but I could care less. in the end you, I, and everyone else is going exactly where you came from, the ground.

 

[DigDug]

As a lawyer, you're not very good at making your point

Haha! Nice one. 9/10

didn't tell him to leave, but it's pretty stupid to move to a country willingly and at the same time tread on seemingly everything about it, don't you think?

I didn't move here, I was born here. I am as adjusted as you are, but I notice things that I realize I will NEVER relate to because I was just brought up differently. I am actually a great asset to this country because, I can with at least some greater objectivity than those within the fish bowl, see the cultural erosion of this country. This country was more like the rest of the world in the 50's, and that's perhaps to due with the relative homogenaity back then. What some people see as tremendous progression to watch America change almost completely in 50 years, others see as a tremendous erosion. This change, is it for the better or worse? That's the real question and the conservatives and liberals each have an answer? Me, I wonder whether it is a "good" thing to sacrifice belief for "tolerance". I've come to the conclusion that a truly diverse population, where there are significant populations with competing interests, is bound to devolve. True harmony is, really, achieved with homogenaity. It's sad, and something my liberal arts roots strain to resist, but it really seems true. 9/11 has only ramped up the pulling on each side of this country, forcing the polarization to occur quicker than it already has. The implicit belief in certain people being more American, and therefore, more entitled to this country, has become overt and even broadcasted by some.

I never treaded on "everything" about this country. In fact, your assumption and reaction can be read to be your own hypersensitivity to criticism about "anything" in this country. I wonder if you'd allow any reeavaluation of American behavior, ideals, and direction. Dissent is different than lack of patriotism. And while my post showed both - and I admit I did so for kicks - it was at least successful at unearthing some the true colors of all of you, too!

Toodles.

He is living in the West because he is making $$$. When he says is making X$ per year, he is saying he loves the West.

He is merely raising some serious questions about the direction this country is heading. He is wondering why, in such a great country where he, a minority, can have such a great education, enjoy such diverse cuisine, and make so much money, there are still so many closed-minded ignorant peasants trying to act like the world revolves around them.

Those damn Untouchables...always getting in your way and stuff. Really pisses me off.

Is this an attempt to equate Untouchables to the people AmbitV was reffering to? You couldn't be farther from the truth. The Untouchables in India are a persecuted class who, far from holding an arrogance and belief that the world revolves around them, are only just starting to emerge from a complacency of their ostracism.
AmbitV was referring to the ignorant punks here who only know that they like Budweiser and that every country outside America is inferior, because (and ironically), only in America is one still able to find relative comfort and even luxury while yet being that stupid.

Haha, I wasn't born in the US and have lived here for less than three years. Your assumptions are just that. Anyway, you already admitted to trolling, so it's unlikely that anybody will give serious thought to anything else you write.

I am actually a great asset to this country because, I can with at least some greater objectivity than those within the fish bowl, see the cultural erosion of this country.

Yes, you must be the only person in the country who can see without the flag-filtered glasses!

Yes, damn the peasants. If we could only all be half the man that you are.

because (and ironically), only in America is one still able to find relative comfort and even luxury while yet being that stupid.

You seem to consider yourself worthy, though in truth I've yet to see any reason to think you are. With statements like that you don't seem to be so. America is the only country in which idiots can be wealthy and lazy?

My point is him referring to people as peasants. His statement and your defense of it (in addition to your other posts in this thread) clearly show you both to be ignorant, elitist, closed minded assholes. You're both so busy trying desperately to prove how open-minded you are that you don't realize your opinions are merely one step above the KKK.

1. I can live at home till I'm 60. My parents would NEVER kick me out.
2. The thought of my parents charging me rent is UNFATHOMABLE.
3. I was raised to value education so very much. My parents are both extremely educated.
5. I can eat almost any kind of food. Or at least try it, since I realize that someone's culture eats it.
6. I have much less difficulty relating to other cultures, no matter where they are from.

and the most important difference, and one that sems to seperate me from my friends more and more as recent politics unfold...

7. am able to empathize, or at leas understand better, the sentiments of other countries around the world with respect to the US, because I have been exposed to many other cultures, and recognize the viability of difference, or at least non-American lifestyles. This goes ESPECIALLY for those of my friends who've never left the US. I can't even begin to understand their world view, or rather, they can't even begin to understand mine.

I'm also from the East (Japan)

Re: 1. That would disgust my parents and myself as I will never quite "grow."
Re: 2. When I started making money, my mom charged me $600 a month for my room.
Re: 3. My parents told me I should do what I want to do and that teachers are idiots. I dropped out of college and started my own company.
Re: 4. (where the hell is it?)
Re: 5. Ditto..but that's because us Easterners already eat some of the nastiest looking foods to begin with. Yea, a hamburger is easy to get in to.
Re: 6. That's only because us Easterners are in general, Westerner wannabe's.
Re: 7. We are in the "Matrix." What the hell do we all know? Nothing really.

[cerebusPu]

this thread belows in P&N. its slowly becoming a crappy flamefest.

digdug, which asian country are you from?? i dont consider south asian = asian.

wait...why am i even reading this guys post?

 

[DigDug]

what do you consider south asian, then?

 

[dethman]

what happened to #4?

 

[AmbitV]

I call them peasants because it's true that the most ignorant tend to be poor. That's a fact of life. These are the type that have no education, no experience of the world beyond their backyard, and are easily manipulated by propaganda.

They are the type that engage in ad hominem attacks rather than admit their ignorance and the sad state of their pitiful lives. They will never admit fault, nor will they ever engage in any meaningful debate. I find that the only effective way of dealing with these peasants is to point out their dismal state of affairs straight to their faces. They will get angry, sure, and maybe even assume some false semblance of indignation, but deep in their hearts they will know that what you say is true. They know how destitute and deplorable their lives truly are. Outwardly, they will cling to their pathetic mindset to sustain whatever shreds of pride they have left, but inside the burn of shame will motivate them to work and save in order to provide for a better life for their children. They will instill democratic values in their children by giving them a better education and thus ultimately allowing their children to rise above their own ignorance to become greater human beings.

This, alas, is all we can hope for these poor peasants.

That's surprising. The 5th grade patriots like you, I would think, would have shut their non-passport-having mouths a while ago after our 2-bit military embarrased itself in front of the world. Shut the fvck up before you shine more light on our sheer ignorance. Let me guess - you've never stepped outside the US, and another $5 says you've never left your own state.

like anyone cares what you or your parents make.

Perhaps you are correct, and that is indeed part of the problem. The average American's fat stomach is full enough that there is no desire to question governmental action, the news, or anything else. America, and as much as you want to convince otherwise, is taught about the WHOLE GODDAMNED WORLD in a 20 minute segment on the O'Reilly factor. THAT'S the reality of this place.

OMG! I can't believe it. A left-wing troll, on ATOT of all places! Where have all the right-wing trolls gone? This calls for a :beer:
