[QUOTE=doc
Their problem lies in the fact that they don't know enough about our culture to be able to make proper judgements, or, know how to respond to those external pressures that our society impinges upon them.[/QUOTE]

and it works both ways, an american in an "asian" society would be alienated in the same type of fashion.

when it all boils down, it all depends on the levels of ignorance that you are dealing with in the people, nothing more.

When I go to an Asian society, and I do quite often, I make sure that I follow the local rules and customs as much as I possibly can. I go out of my way to be nice to people, and act in a responsible fashion. I hire the best attorneys possible so that I make sure that any business that I do, is done responsibly and legally. I understand that when I am in that country, I am there as a GUEST.

I'd like to see similar behavior with some of the Asians that I've brought here....

you are one of a rare few....

Just because the are from another culture does not make them "cultured"...a little late for that, however. I'll bet, while acompanying you, your guests felt entitled...the story would be different if everything wasn't made so damn easy for them. You were too nice, Doc. Those assholes knew it...

unfortunately there are 2 kinds of people, those that are taken advantage of, and those who take advantage of others, sorry doc looks like your charm only works on the ladies

**doc** · 01-23-2006, 11:26 PM

Trust me. That only goes so far also, LOL...

i agree.

im currently trying to find a cure for "ignorance" but i dont seem to be getting anywhere, if anyone has any ideas let me know.

**doc** · 01-25-2006, 04:56 PM

There is no cure for ignorance. Remember the definition, well, at least, my definition, which I wrote a long time ago, and can't find right now.

Stupid people are stupid and know it, and are therefore able to learn.
Ignorant people are stupid and don't know it, and are therefore ****ing hopeless.

At least, that's a rewrite of what I said years ago.

Best thing to do with ignorance is ignore it. I'm an extremely tolerant man, always willing to give people the benefit of the doubt, and, help them along. But, you get nowhere doing that with ignorant individuals.

couldn't have put it better myself.

damn i remember that post, god damn that was a while back

i say we take all the ignorant people and place them on a small, unstable, volcanic island.

The world needs another australia.

**zachsan** · 01-26-2006, 12:28 PM

On behalf of the World, I object. Please, anything but another Australia.
