Why would you get an infraction for that? It is funny but has the ring of truth to it.

We have idiots here that think the government is the cure to all of our ills. But they just refuse to see that where government has meddled in our private lives it has fouled it all up.

The philipines. Or how about congo, now theres some nasty fuckers

Or we can talk about the UK and why it's crime rate is far worse than America and South Africa. Or we can talk bout the human smuggling and drug trafficking that's been going on in Australia in recent years....

Cant we just stop saying the word america..for a day or two. I think we should all talk about that humid,hot stinky ape swamp that yan yan praises about. The philipines. Or how about congo, now theres some nasty fuckers

Hay! Hay! The constant anti-Filipino sentiment on this board is getting me down!

It's humid and hot because it's near the equator. Crops grow all the year round. Rum is cheap and the ladies are beautiful.

Some street corners stink because drunk guys urinate there instead of in reservoirs.

Our largest apes are monkeys about the size of cat. The most famous is the nocturnal tarsier -about the size of your fist.

Since most of the country is mountainous, swamps are rare.

But as for the Congo - now you're talking. They're all a bunch of wankers there!!

I just shat my pants laughing reading all of this.............

Yan , thank you for the geography lesson, you know all us white americans are bad at that. I can tell you why I dont like filipinos,but it will have to be in private , or I will get another infraction for giving the world a taste of their own medicine

I first came to the Phils 16 years ago and I have lived here for 11 years. I have family that I love and lots of close personal friends. Some Filipinos I like, others I don't. I rarely approve of what the government does because even when they are well-meaning, they usually manage to fuck things up. Does that sound familiar to your own personal situation in the US?

The "geography lesson" was simply a light-hearted response to your insulting description. If you really wanted to criticize an entire nation you would have used words that showed that you knew more about the country.

If you want to talk privately about some bad experience or experiences that you have suffered at the hands of Filipinos, I will by all means lend a sympathetic ear. But I find it hard to accept that anybody's personal slights are sufficient to condemn a nation of 90 million people. Getting pissed off at one or more individuals is one thing. Transferring that resentment to all who share some common characteristics with the one that offended you is just tribalism.

This forum is "Fun and Humor". Why not reserve it for that?

Quote from samofsons

I am having fun man. I dont care that you love the philipines ,thats great. I only wish they all liked it as much ,so they wouldnt feel compelled to move here to use this country like a whore ,then move back and live like kings. No hard feelings man. I just thought it might be nice to talk about other countries for a change

They do like it! They love it as their mother country. But when even highly educated professionals earn a pittance, they do what they have to do and go abroad. Every day I coach bright young nurses, doctors and engineers for International English exams so they can get work permits in western nations. Am I contributing to the "brain drain"? Sure! But what's the alternative for them?

Do they use the US like a whore? Maybe, from where you're standing. But where would UK and US hospitals be without a steady influx of Filipino nurses. Understaffed! When it comes to "Homes for the Aged", Filipinas are preferred because in this dysfunctional little corner of the world, old age is still revered. There is no such thing as an Old Folks Home. Where would Middle East construction sites be without relatively cheap Filipino engineers and workmen?
If they have a chance to move back home and "live like kings", good for them! They paid for it with labor and homesickness.

So how about western men that come to the Phils "looking for whores"? Is that OK? Even the ugly, fat, socially inept ones that couldn't get a decent woman in the US can find a beautiful young wife in the Phils by boasting and throwing gold at any minor problem. They also expect to live like kings because their political system has taught them that they are the Lords of the Earth, and Asian women should be grateful for their generosity. Is that fair?

Filipinos are deluged with a regular diet of Hollywood movies that tell them how life in the US is superior to any other place on Earth. How many Americans watch Filipino movies where "family values" are the constant theme? It's a one-way street.

How would you feel if you and your sons had to work on foreign construction sites? How would you feel if your wife was working as a Domestic Helper in Saudi Arabia and your daughters were prostitutes in Japan?

It's no longer "Fun & Humor".

Not to mention the fact that while I was in the military I have seen Filipinos brought in by Saudi, Kuwaiti, and Iraqi hiring firms for the express purpose of pulling in cheaper labor than what they can hire from their own countrymen. These poor guys are often living in military style tents, or tenement housing, and are restricted to very specific areas within those localities. Many hold contracts for a year or two, and only have each other to depend on for company because of the restrictive laws of the host countries. They are often escorted onto U.S. and NATO FOBs for the purpose of construction, repair, janitorial, and food service and preparation by the truckload, and then transported back off post at the end of the shift. I can vouch for the friendly and hard-working attitude a lot of these guys have, and they show a genuine love for their homeland and for their families. They do put up with some deplorable conditions and jobs just to throw a buck or two home (the employment agencies make a LOT of money from these guys, while still paying them crap).

Ouch...that's gotta be rough job. I've seen some of that work done here in Texas, It's got to be hell in Mexico.
On the bright side....boy am I glad I have a nice cushy job in my own house during the hottest hours of the day....hold on...............Ah! nice cool lemonade in all this air conditioning.
Off course, working armed security at night is not that fun with 10 flights of stairs across seven buildings...but still...beats the hell out of some of the work I use to do. In places just as interesting, no less.
What's it like in Mexico?

Another America bashing thread?

Right now my city is waiting for the flood waters coming in from Canada. Mandatory evacuations by tomorrow at 4 PM. Will we get any foreign aid? It's doubtful but for all the American tax dollars that get sent all over the world in aid...I wish the America bashing would stop (if that is what this is). I stopped reading after 5 or so words running together. That's a huge wall of text to waste time on from someone who can't even put spaces between words consistently.

The only problem I have with the US are two things, there women which are just as bad as the mapleskanks here in cknuclehead land and the us govermet, I have mt a few armicain in real life and on such as here that I respect.

As for the Phiilpines I'd love to leve there because most of the women from what I understand are LADIES and not shit bat loony femanazis like in the western nations where men are fairly well respect and that the ladies over there are respected as well and that family means just that and not this broken train wreck of a nightmare in the western/femanazi nations.

If I did not have my family here un CanaDUH and I had a means of making a living over there I'd be one gone cat, faster then can say shazam!

haha , if percy didn't hate americans before , he probably does now.
lets all give the poor bastard a break. the article wasn't offensive.

some of the comments from some of the members here were. mostly by folks who can
talk trash all day long and generalize you and treat you as a child , but when someone returns the gesture to them ,
all of the sudden YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR. sounds familiar.

using the same methods that feminists use against men by generalizing , they use on americans (as if we are a race of people to begin with)
adding another lead weight to the white mans burden.
those of us below the glass floor. who get our faces stepped on.
those of us who cannot afford a doctor or to go to college because we aren't BROWN enough.


it must be nice to have a people. to have a unified culture. a history.
it must be nice to be brown enough to go to college for free and get steady jobs because it looks good on
paper for the ADL. it must be nice to HAVE a homeland that you can return to a rich man, and start up a coffee plantation in the jungle, after pillaging all you can from a giant bloated ulticultural nightmare.

this IS my home. their condom IS my home. so when they leave and the dust settles , we are still here , still poor , still hated.
as the next shipment of bloodsuckers roll onto the shore. do you think they will fight along side of us when we need them the most?
of course not. they're only loyal to money and their own race.

- a nationalist without a nation

I think America bashing is a fuckin' pastime and it got on my last nerve long ago. Sure our government sucks but so does every other western government and probably every non western government too. If American citizens can be bashed because our government sucks then so can every other western nation who has elections. I think we all know that it's stupid to blame people for choosing shit over shit (our election choices) but I am sure that is the justification of the America bashers. We will continue to have shit choices until the next revolution, which is surely coming soon giving our economic state and the natural disasters that are ripping us apart.

Sorry about the words running together. It is something to do with the cut and paste from 'Word' I think, or maybe the ads that appear and squash the column. Or maybe it is just me and a side effect of my national biases.

Do you think America bashing is funny? This is an honest question.

It is beginning to be, Garak.

At least I have not said, "Fuck America and Fuck the President" . Some one recently said "Fuck Oz and the UK, and fuck the Queen.

Did you object to that?

Did you ask them if such vile denunciation was funny?

Why not?
