Asians *are* orientals you idiot.




Why don't you try running the term "Oriental" by the next
few
Asians
you
meet and see sort of reaction you get?

"With my right foot, I will kick your face. With my left,
I
will
kick
your
nose. With my fingers, I will poke your eyes out. Take a
good
look
at
my
face. I'm an Oriental."

Jackie Chan--"They Still Call Me Bruce" (1987)




Remember what I told you earlier about my having about 40
years
more
education than you? You've just provided a perfect example
of
why
I
said
that. You do NOT get an accurate view of the world from
movies.



Oh, come on...you can't be intimating that Nobby should read
serious
books...

Or maybe even a real newspaper or magazine whose articles take
longer
than
38 seconds to read....

That's because of my adult ADD.


I scored a whopping 82 on this quiz:

I guess I'm in good company though:

Time for excuses, eh?

It's not an excuse. If a topic doesn't interest me, I don't have
the
ability to focus my thoughts on it for very long. If I find it
interesting,
I have the ability to "hyper-focus" my thoughts on it and analyze
the
details like nobody else. In my profession, this trait is all that
matters.

Does this explain why you have little or no ability to apply the
lessons
of
history to current events?


Quite the contrary. When legitimate parallels between historical and
current events are presented to me, I spend a lot of time reading
historical
references to learn more.




Good. Read up on our adventures in the Phillippines.


The key phrase in my paragraph: *LEGITIMATE PARALLELS*.

But I will "read up on the Phillippines".

Can you provide a specific period or time frame that you're alluding to? My
ADD will not allow me to spend hours sifting through two centuries of
US/Filipino history to find a parallel that may or may not exist.
