Hmm, one of the prime antagonists seems to have dropped out. I'm can't say for sure that this will hit the five page mark now. Could we maybe get someone else to engage in a pointless argument?
Exitium said:Oh yes, let's all be as passive and non-offensive as we psosibly can! Can't call the Nazis bastards or Josef Mengele an insane son of a bitch, now can we? Because that'd be offensive. Oh wait, maybe we can, because according to political correctness, it's okay to label the Nazis and Mengele in whatever deregotory label we please, regardless of the truth or lies in those labels. Everyone say it together with me: "nazis were homosexuals".
But now, it's probably 'wrong' and 'offensive' to state the truth about the Filipino people, who just happen to be poor, weird, and completely blind to their state of existence (i.e. they don't do much to alleviate themselves from their predicament) because it's 'offensive to their inherently fucked up culture' and because we must respect other people's cultures, regardless of barbarism, cannibalistic practices, et al.
Why even bother with civilization, then? Let's go back to our primitive roots, live in Neolithic villages, respect other cultures, and mutilate ourselves for no reason whatsoever other than it's 'within our culture to do so'. Respect tradition! Tradition will give you a special place in heaven.
If you want to see the ugliness of humanity, visit the Phillipines. With pick pockets around every corner, and muggers on every street. It's like a regular combat-based CRPG in there.
Crazy Tuvok said:Yah! PC is invoked again. Nothing like shortcutting actual argument and replacing it with empty rhetoric. You crack me up man. You think that because I find your simpleminded description of the Phillipines upsetting that I am doing so out of some perverse devotion to political correctness and not because I was genuinely offended.
Ok I honestly have no freaking idea what the Nazi-Mengele stuff is about but this is a bit disturbing: "it's okay to label the Nazis and Mengele in whatever deregotory label we please, regardless of the truth or lies in those labels."
So... you are in favor of Mengele and Nazis? What the hell were you trying to say here because it seems to have escaped my meager capacity to understand gibberish.
inherently fucked up culture. Beautiful. It is now perfectly obvious that all of your arguments are in fact some prejudice against the Phillipines and not actually based even remotely in anything like fact or argument. Think about what you wrote for a second - an inherently fucked up culture. Where have I heard this before? - oh yeah now I remember - in every racist statement ever made. Hell poor people, blacks, hispanics...they are an inherently fucked up_____
"Why even bother with civilization, then? Let's go back to our primitive roots, live in Neolithic villages, respect other cultures, and mutilate ourselves for no reason whatsoever other than it's 'within our culture to do so'. Respect tradition! Tradition will give you a special place in heaven. "
You need to think and then type because how this relates to anything I have said is lost on me (and I gather on anyone else). Trying to parse this and give it a context outside of your own head is impossible.
Crazy Tuvok said:ok rosh. You just make my argument for me by resorting to the ad hominem and ignoring every argument I have made.
fuck it. This is a complete waste of time.
"clueless, uninformed garbage" - charming.
elsoniel said:Saying that 'you do not trust anything that comes from the philippines' is just pure discrimination. Getting into the habit of looking down upon another culture would be like reliving your black slavery days.

Saint_Proverbius said:You know, the sad part is that this actually happens in the U.S. too. A friend of mine in Texas several years ago sent me a clip of a Chinese place that got shut down for having pet parts in their dumpster, with collars and everything.
foreman said:i tell you, dudes, manila ain't no different than brooklyn.
foreman said:i'm sorry. it wasn't an attack on anyone here. we just found it so funny and wanted to see who would take the bait.
on behalf of the filipino people, we thank you for your thoughts. we promise to be rude and filthy only to those who made the really (bullshit, but still) funny comments dissing the country of my friends.
you want respect, you give it - and vice-versa. to all the non-caucasians here aspiring to be white, buy some hydroquinone. if you don't know what that is, you're dumb so forget it.
i tell you, dudes, manila ain't no different than brooklyn. go ahead with your posts. we show them in class and marvel at the backwardness of some people in modern times. those of us who shuttle back and forth from cebu to manila and to ny or oregon laugh so hard at your descriptions, i actually thought there would be a backlash when i told them about this board.
my local classmates (the Filipinos) say they're used to people who dwell on politics and 15th century history to mask hate. they knew better. i didn't think i would learn so much about understanding from a different culture.
aloha. thanks to those who made such nice things to say about respect and understanding. assumption, after all, is the mother of all fuck-ups. quite easy to see the many fuck-upped turds in this place.
we forgive you 8)
foreman said:one point he laughed at though was the pickpocketing thing. he says they only pickpocket the whiny "tourists" because they're rude to every Filipino they see, treating them like they were slaves or something. i wouldn't blame him. i won't be surprised if they gave each whiny-ass tourist a butt-fuck before they left. hey, like i said, you can't give respect, don't expect to receive it. whiny-ass tourists included.
"they only pickpocket the whiny tourists". Holy fuck, kid, you expect me to believe that?

Damn, still have that?
Definitely a new meaning to "Meow Mix". :D
Exitium said:p.s. Vietnam, Cambodia and Burma are three of the few most fucked up places in the world also. Child prostitution is an industry over there. There was a kidnapping syndicate operating over here in Malaysia some 10 years ago, kidnapping Malaysian children and exporting them to those countries for the sex trade. The ringleaders got shot by the police though, so you don't hear of that here anymore. I'm sure it still happens in Thailand.
I've seen some undercover police/journalist videos (on the news) of kidnapped girls. Cute. Pity about their predicament. Boy, I'd like to be their white knight. But where to start? Hmm...
