HAHAHAHA! there I did it. I crack myself up sometimes.
It's too bad you don't have any sense of humour.

Also, what culture I identify with is no business of your, boy!

Well it must be pretty high and openminded to stomach your belligerent
attitude for so long, and still have the patience to still bother
responding to you.

And just because most of the time you can't argue with facts, has no baring 
on me.  You apparently deleted the rest of my response to your post, which 
your intellectual capacity could find no argument for.  

Dwight, in case you've forgotten. Way back when, I tried in a civil
manner to discuss your posts with you.  First by email then on the net.
You never responded then, so don't give me attitude about my not
taking all of what you say seriously. Even now, I tried to read what you
post with some thoughtfulness, but don't expect me to waste my time
convincing you of anything.  The fact of the matter is, in your mind, 
anyone that doesnt parrot what you say isnt worth talking to.

You can make accusations all you want. I `aint' the net police and I dont
control what people on the net or any one on my system does.

What? Are you going for some kind of record?  Why is this even relevent?

I didnt say the story was false. I just couldnt believe the way you
lapped up the story hook,line and sinker.  There is a difference between
a TV drama, and a documentory.  Even a documentary may suffer from 
editorial leanings.  A TV drama will sensationalize various aspects of 
a story.  In fact, what is shown on TV is even tame compared to what really
goes on in the world.  TV is bound by notions of "good" taste. But the
fact of the matter is humans are capable of far worst.

>[opinions about chinese culture deleted]

>[comparative analysis of Chinese and American culture deleted]
Interesting analysis, but a lot or nothing could have changed in
100 or even 50 years. I've never been to China, I only know what I get on the 
news,read about and people I meet. I don't think you are being completely
fair and honest. Certainly not objective like you think you are, cause if 
that was true, your post would sound like a financial report. 


So, you gave your accessment of why american women of chinese ancestry
have the dating habits they do.  But how can they know how you or I or
anyone else is really like, simply by gross generalizations of race,
or even culture.  Because 2 people even in the same family will have
completely different attitudes and behaviours.


The fact is, YOU'RE OBSESSED with Chinese culture. I dont know anyone
who can work that subject into every damn thing he/she talks about.

Frankly, when I encountered your post over a year ago, I thought 
hey someone from Stanford interested in Japan. Maybe I can discuss the
subject with him, since I was interested in Japan, and visited Stanford 
last year and liked it there.  I was even friendly to you, asking
how long and where you've learned Japanese and if you've worked at or
been to Japan.  Unfortunately, I was faced with someone with an 
attitude problem, hateful obsession and a personal vendetta. So don't
give me any your holier-than-thou attitude!  Even now, I am willing
to accept your differences of opinion and overlook your bad attitude,
if you show any sign of civility and thoughtfulness in approaching    
an argument.

So tell me fellow netters, AM I BEING TOO NICE???
