Sure and sure. Forgive me if I go back to my usual schedule.

You can't just walk around and bash everything that's different from what you're used to. You make these provocative and impolite posts all the time. Stop trolling, please.

Wait. If you say that the regime in China is evil and totalitarian (I partially agree with that), don't you consider that most of the Chinese people are the VICTIMS of that regime and insulting them is not doing anything good?

Well the fact that Asians came with Manga and Anime and Hentai and that style of drawing, just makes me generalize Asians as... Well, something I say WTF about. What I am trying to say is, if a mind can invent such art and such bad comics, how can they work out a goverment and a system and all that ... This just beats me.
Oh and welcome thread-starter, I might not understand your culture, but you are still welcome here

I think the failing economy is a symptom of a larger problem.

Are you sure? Because I could draw a parallel to American Wrestling, Giant Trucks, Reality Shows and Steven Seagall movies and draw the conclusion, from your own admission, that it's a wonder US can survive as a country.

Or... are you going to try to convince me these are somehow different things?...

Don't.

In abachler's defense I don't think he wanted people to take what he said at face value. After all, it's too easy to look for flaws in any country and culture.

Speaking for myself, I refuse to be afraid of the Chinese just because they might have a bigger political penis than us one day. We went through the same thing with the Japanese. The worst that could happen is a land invasion if they actually decide to take over the world, but I expect to be dead before that happens, if it ever does.

Did I mention America? I'm from Europe, and here there's little off any of that xP Anyways, have you seen those Asian comics? It's completely retarded and now it just feeds on people by showing huge cleavages and girls that are usually as innocent in their behavior as a school girl, now that's just... Sexism or something. And even such comics that don't even have the real intention of being half-porn have the problem with what I said above, like c'mon...

Also, from what I hear, America can't even hold itself together, fighting wars in other countries and not fighting the wars in America...

Is that a bad thing?

Why? Any girl that would tell you that she does not want to be attractive is a liar.

Who cares? If you don't like, don't look: simple. Better yet castrate yourself. Loss of balls may make you less horny, but then it might make you gay (not that being gay is a bad thing). I can't say as I have not tried it yet. TBH I always wondered why fantasising about sex is seen as such a bad thing when, the thought, or re-enactment of, killing people is A-OK in society.

And anyway WTF does any of this have to do with some Chinese dude that wants to make friends?

Its like "Hi! Asians are dirty perverts, but never mind, you're welcome here

"

You stated its an aspect of a larger problem, I specifically assigned a cause effect relationship. between the failing economy and the larger problem, which you left unexpressed.

dude, these comics are drawn... if you need it, go watch real porn or something o.O
Anyways, you are overreacting a bit here, I said I didn't understand their culture and not how people can watch those comics without thinking logically... Now, I never mentioned anything about perverts, or that only Asians watch and draw such stuff and I definetly didn't try to ban masturbation... That's what the pope(and prolly his followers) does, not me.

Anyways, have you never seen how kids (mostly girls in my case) who are all into Manga, Anime change their personally insanely much into something that is like these fictional comics, seriously I know girls who dream about growing tails, getting paws and cat ears, like really dream about it... Maybe this will turn into the new plastic surgery thing.

Faroe islands is a quite place in Europe, Akkernight. You are simply missing out on a lot of crazy stuff happening around here. If you think Anime or Manga is something worth hailing as a cultural bottom, not only you live in Faroe Islands but also under a rock.

Really, really, do not make it look like Europe is the keeper of some higher intellectuality. It will only make us look bad because we aren't. Starting in the 80s, Europe cultural identity has been degrading to the point of extinction. Today we absorb everything they throw at us, from Anime to Wrestling. And we produce nothing. Europe as a cradle of culture is a thing of the past. Today we buy at retail.

Many people misunderstand the culture of China. I list them here.
1, Tao - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2, Confucianism

abachler · 11-02-2009, 10:38 PM

Many Chinese misunderstand their own culture, I list them here -

Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Great Chinese Famine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One-child policy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A culture is not just the commendable aspects, but the good the bad and the ugly.
