Three requests here.

(1) Do not go for personal attack.
(2) Use your name (even if it is a fake one) in your postings.
    I can accept fake names since some of us still want to go back to taiwan,
    but I can not deal with no-names (intended or not).
(3) Please do not deny my existence by saying "Is he so and so?"
    If you do not care about what I have to say then ignore it completely.
    If you care, then please respect me by asking me directly, please.

No, I have no intention to stir up the hatred among any people.
I try very hard to avoid it.
And at the same time, I want give MY point of view and hoping for a better
future. I do not claim my view was sacred or even partially correct.

The point I was trying to make was,

(1) Human beings are greedy, it happen all the time everywhere.
    Althrough I believe the ugly mainlanders looting taiwan was NOT majority.
    They are as ugly as all other greedy persons anytime anywhere.

(2) "Taiwanese merchants today" means all merchants from taiwan in general.
    I did NOT say or imply any one specific. Please do not distort.

(3) How come you think I was trying to justify some obvious wrong doings?
    I am well educated and smart enough not to trying fool people with such
    childish approachs.

Not this one or many many others.

Sorry, I have the faintest idea on what is your point.

The message I was trying to get thru was only a small group of people
has power making decisions. The majority of us are no different to you
and are just ordinary people. So why all (or many) of them should be
blamed for the crime that was made.
