sorry i didnt clearify this, no i have no problem with dialects. i have no problem with cantonese, shanghainese, yue or w/e, but i can tell dialect from a half-assed attempt at mandarin, But i did mention that this problems occur mostly in the US, where the chinese ppl PROCLAIM they speak mandarin but it sounds like, for the lack of a better word, ultralisk shit

everything you like about the US is consumption.


lol, I admit that did look funny the way I wrote it.

In my defense, grilling is really culture, wide streets and Walmart are convenience. Only "cheap gasoline" falls under "culture of consumption".

Also, from earlier in this thread I had already written all the of non-consumption aspects:

Likes:
1. It is big enough that you can go many states and they are completely different..even different culture/accent.
2. (being honest here) I feel safe/good know how powerful we are economically and militarily.
3. I like the relative balance between the 2 political parties. Power flows back and forth fairly quickly and therefore 1 party cannot get too comfortable or depart too far from the general public's opinion
4. I like that the US is comparatively more conservative/religious than other places.
5. I like the rural places.
6. I like the opportunities everywhere to be whatever you want to work hard to become.
7. I love the flag, the anthem, and the patriotism.

I have a love affair with Cap'n Crunch every morning. But seriously though I've eaten probably 95% of the stuff out there. I usually change it up every time I shop but i guess some of my favorites include: Cap'n Crunch, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cocao Puffs, Cheerios. I eat stuff like Fruity Pebbles, Reeses Puffs, Cornflakes, and Apple Jacks without milk added. I think they taste better dry but I still drink a glass of milk with them lol.

China

I'm 3/4 Chinese 1/4 Korean so I consider myself as Chinese. Below are generalizations that apply to MOST Chinese people and are exaggerations (but close to the truth)

Pros
-Can't think of any ATM

Cons
-We're hella racist: the ones in US are retarded shits who discriminate against Blacks, Hispanics, Vietnamese, Filipinos, Thai, (and other south Asian countries). The ones back in China hate the Japanese. Everytime I go on a japanese video posted on a chinese site or i watch a movie like Fearless or Ip Man i see the comment section flooded with shit like "death to all Japanese". Seriously, how long ago was the war?
-We're hella brainwashed. contrary to popular belief, China is not a full communist country, just like how every1 thinks US is a capitalistic country, it is actually based on a mixed economy. China is based on mixed economy as well except more right winged and our major party is the (DuH) communist party. But they way the communist party runs the country makes us brainwashed enough to hate Japanese people, to hate American "capitalist pigs", and to believe in a bunch of superstitious garbage that are inconceivable. the really smart and educated group just pretend they're brainwashed and dont really do anything about it. Fuck...
-We're hella conservative. When I walk in the streets, all i see are ugly chicks. where are all the beautiful women? I only see them in specialized schools (more like book concentration camp) studying their ass off without makeup on and are so fucking introverted you cant pick them up for shit. damn it when i go back next time i wont even bother hitting on the pretty girls, Cuz last time i hit on a cute girl in one of those nazi school camps i got slapped in front of 200 students (it was a long ass room with speakers and TVs in every 2 rows and the slap sound echoed.. T_T)
-We dont fucking speak CHINESE!!!!!!!!!!!!! this drives me so insane cuz less than 20% or probably less than 15% of us actually speak chinese right. all you whities who think chinese is compposed of Chings and Chongs, i REALLY dont blame you. Back in the big cities in mainland it's alright-ish, but here in the US, If i go up to ANY chinese, teens or adults, they'll speak like shit. FOR EXAMPLE (gosh this drives me nuts) they place emphasis on random words in a sentence and most of the time it'll scare you (I am HUNGRY and I WANT a sandWICH!!!! <==something like that if translated into english). they use words fucking wrong but you can barely understand them ("I want to insert you" obviously means i want to (*&^ you in the you imagine where, but it gets worse, they'll use nouns as verbs and verbs as adjectives. UGHHHHHHHH) 3rd, they're accents are soooooooo horrendous.

-We're SOOOOO fucking selfish. after years of family planning, we are all single-children and therefore we've became selfish. I remember i was like 7 i think, i was in an elevator full of people. when the elevator closed i was messing with the door and it caught my right hand. it hurt so bad i thought my hand was gonna break, i asked "can someone open the door please?" and i look back, 11 adults, everyone pretended not to hear me. WTFUX? are you serious? I tried to reach the control panel but its to my right side so i couldnt reach, and i kept on asking for help but none of them helped. my hand was stuck between the doors all the way to the 9th floor where i lived. fucking get your heads out of ur ass and help a kid! jeezez.
-We are so fucking nosy. I've moved a total of 12 times my entire life. and everytime my parents invite some1 for housewarming i get fucking pissed. because it is "customary" for guests to come and look at every room. Fine im okay with that. but do you HAVE to fucking look in the closets and under the beds? (im not joking, thats what they do, they fill every gap like zerglings). Also, back in China, on every street, there is AT LEAST one bitch who has nothing better to do with her life and just walk around looking for shit to comment on and start fights. Bitch mind your own business. My uncle and his wife (in china every1 is related-ish, i guess only way to explain it is to compare it to the korean Hyung-Dongseng relationship) are both good people, they just werent meant for each other. Every time they tried to divorce, that same old fuck lady would always tell them "rethink your life, you're meant for each other" omfg Bitch, who do you think you are? do you know them? i swear, they went to the old lady FIVE times and she rejected their divorce (is that even legal?) the sixth time my uncle was like "hey darling, you wanna go try again? maybe this time we'll get lucky" rejected again, the seventh time when they're rejected (they planned this out) my uncle slapped his wife across the face and she starting choking him so the old fuck was like "holy shit they really DO need a divorce" and that was the epic story of how my uncle got his divorce granted.
-We beat our kids. Dont get me wrong, all lot of countries beat their kids. I just dont agree with it, i think its playing a card that the kid doesnt have which is a low and irrespectable thing to do. but us chinese people do it WAYYYYYY more with the same old excuse "its for your own good". Fuck that. you wouldnt beat your kid unless you're pissed, if you're pissed and you beat your kid then you're just a big bully. if you beat ur kid cuz u cant think of another way to tell him he was wrong or to make him respect you, then maybe you need to go back to parenting class and your actions probably come across to your kid as actions that dont deserve their respect.

oh crap that was so long please dont mind my language i just get irritated by chinese people. my fellow brothers if im wrong plz correct me cuz its good to feel a bit better bout my race.

End of Rant

damn i love you. i was seriously ticked off at this kid from china in my high school because he rips on japanese stuff all the time and he loves mao. he thinks all the books by the chinese government is right and all that brainwash shit. and he said he likes sushi and manga... then i stopped being friends with him. i was starting to believe all the kids from china are like that. i'm glad i wasn't born there....

Everything is amazing. The weather, the women, and the club scene.
The only real problem is all the drunk people. I see so many of them, for instance, when i just walk down the street. I dont know why that is , but it is very annoying.

despite its flaws, i suppose america seems more real and honest. even its crass consumerism has a functional honesty to it. compare a commercial that focus on good tastes versus brand tradition, or legacy. the way i understand the states is that it is a good place from which to be nostalgic/longing for another place, not that i would do that.
