The trouble with political correctness is that it breeds a bunch of
pussies. One day when we have everything so that no ones feelings are
hurt France is going to invade and take over.

When political correctness was not such a "thing" we had a lot more respect.

Rude, insensitive, and stupid know no boundaries.

(If it is Chinese, and says crap like that knowing that there are
round-eyes that will be offended, it is still rude, insensitive, and

I'm not Mormon either, but that is still rude, insensitive and stupid.
And I can not imagine any of the many Mormons I know saying something

I guess it is based on who said it. When JFK called
himself a jelly donut, we all smiled. When a China
man says he "velly goodly" we all smile. When a black
man describes his friend as a "good nig" we just
let it slide. But, let a white, Christian American
use some slang, and all hell breaks loose.

I dealt with the Chinese one-on-one (face to face) in hundreds of
international transactions for over 15 years.

They are dishonest, evil, and without any morals or ethics, except one:
They consider it honorable to cheat a business associate.

It is, in their view, the highest of accomplishments to successfully
cheat someone in a business transaction. I did not invent or surmise
this from dealing with them. I was told this, in person, by a Chinese
man who, having learnt how we do business over here, was 'converted' to
our ethical form.

We try to extract every dime from a tranaction without 'going over the
edge' and cheating or lying. We have whole cadres of salespeople who DO
lie routinely... Car salesmen, insurance hawkers, and the like... and as
a society, we've categorized them in both society and literature as the
lowest-of-the-low.

The Chinese ALL deal that way, even among themselves, and consider it a
failing to NOT successfully lie and cheat their way through. And
similarly, instead of feeling they've been victimized, they consider it a
great personal failing if they succumb to being cheated. It's a 180-
degree reversal of our ethics.

So, don't talk to me about "respecting" Chinese. They're worthy of none
of it.

In addition, they have often expressed their goal of destroying then
taking over our economy. I suppose you would like that. I would not.

So there is one honest Chinaman and you found him.
What are the odds? About 1 in a billion?

And how do you know he is honest?
He told you he was.

You
have to first convincingly lie to yourself so that you
can lie to others.

That seems like an unnecessary extra step to the Chinese.

:

No... there are a number of them, but it's a small percentage.

And no, he didn't "tell me", I ASKED him, because he was the only one of
about 20 vendors I dealt with who didn't try to lie his way through a
deal.

I know this will get poo-pooed on this group, but it might just have been
because he _also_ had converted to Christianity. ?

I'm always curious when I see something shiny sticking out of a pile of

Since when is it a "Constitutional right" to not be offended?
Remember, one must *take* offense. It's particularly idiotic to take
offense for someone else. If the injuns don't like the name of the
Washington *******, let them bitch.

When political correctness was not such a "thing" we had a lot more respect.
