*Pat Rants again*

[QUOTE=Dale Dugas;2660641]There is really no need to go to China.

There are such a plethora of teachers with skills here in North America, Canada, and the UK that are much easier to meet and train with.

Also why give the communists any more money to keep up with their craptacular regime?[/QUOTE]
And why study in the US, the (by far) biggest asshole bullying fuckwits on planet earth, number one for making war, prison inmates, pollution, consumption… (let me get started on real bullshido, the chicken hawks that ran us into Iraq, Kuwait, Panama, etc etc), run last by felon Cheney and now liar Obama?

As a Chinese lady told me many years ago, our government isn’t me.

Cheap good food, cute girls, what’s there not to like?

Yes one should go live in China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia etc etc. It broadens one’s understanding - for instance did you know that from bases in Thailand, US planes during the Vietnam war would drop any unused bombs on Laos when heading back from Vietnam? And that and ten gazillion bomblets and mines we left make it so that on the average day one Laotian, usually a male child, gets killed and several get maimed? GO USA! GO USA! When asked about MIAs in Laos (and there are at least several) the Laotians pretty much said, go fuck yourself, we have 300,000 MIAs and it’s your fucking fault! So yes, travel Asia and get pissed at the arrogant asshole French, the drunk Aussies, the drunker Russians, the Chinese buying SE Asia, and all the ugly white American men with their little slant eyed wives. And in Chungking you can even go to the museum of USA manufactured torture devices that “we” gave Chiang Kai Shek (aka corrupt gangster of heroin / leader of “Free China” etc etc); good stuff!

When my daughter lived outside Chendu the fad was TKD - the local CMA guy was teaching TKD as no Chinese wanted to pay money to do CMA. So she did TKD. In Yongshuo I found a decent Tai Chi / wu shu school (with largely western students) and I saw people working out in various Chinese cities (usually before dawn) but didn’t look like anything I’d spend too much time with (kata based stuff). In Hong Kong there’s everything, but it’s pricy.

Boff Topic for your shitty rants not the CMA forum.

I feel your pain Pat. One time an American ran his car into mine. It was in America too. Americans think they can just do that because he did and he was an American so I hate all of them including myself cause I’m an American. I didn’t run my car into anybody yet but I probably will.

Uh, sure Tom, I guess. You should see the asshole French in SE Asia - arrogant fucks think that they SHOULD still own the place and many act like it - some were cool and friendly, but others deserved a beatdown, not that an old mellow guy like me would ever think of it, or more likely just think about wife giving me shit for fighting.

Hey it’s my fucking birthday!! I"m 62 today and heading for BJ Penn’s to show him the real carahtey.

welll shit, I guess this deserves trollshido! reading the post now I think I was thinking about killing the neighbor’s yapping little monsters (dogs, not children) who have been driving me CRAZ?Y!.

I guess it’s rather obvious how frustrated I am, I mean I was in Vietnam in the early sixties and last winter and only did one high karate kick on one asshole French guy the whole time. And that Vietnamese shit head who tried to threaten me and that other French asshole, well time to finish my drink and go to Kaleo’s for din din

If it helps, most of what you said could be applied to europe, too.

I was in South Korea with a small crew of about 6 fellow Americans. One of them was a complete asshole and had been from the first time I ever met him. He made sure that he offended everyone he was in contact with and was invited to never return. I have had to work in Mexico and a couple of other places with that idiot and each time he was invited to never return. I’m sure that he is the American that will always be remembered, even though he doesn’t represent the way most Americans are. I guess the way I look at it is, that there are assholes everywhere but I’m not going to judge everyone by the quality of their national assholes. (That sounds kind of the ghey sort of unintentionally)

When I was 10 my father pointed out the American tourists yelling at the Japanese custom officials. He told me that for some reason people think if a foreigner doesn’t understand English they will understand better if yelled at. He said the problem wasn’t that they were deaf and one should talk slowly and clearly. And my parents made us be quiet in hotel hallways, saying that many people were sleeping at odd hours and so I was trained young to be respectful and mellow. That’s why I’m Mr. Fucking Mellow these days.

It’s just that it’s happened more with the asshole French than the other assholes. Like Japanese can be assholes, but not as consistently. I made life long enemies in Singapore at the night zoo - it has signs all over to be quiet as to not scare the night creatures. I heard a loud tour guide yapping in Japanese coming from a long way off. When she got near me I asked, “Is it true that Japanese is the only language on earth that cannot be whispered?” If looks could kill…

French

1)Hapsburg Palace Vienna - the excellent guide asked where we were from and proceeded to give the talk in several languages. Everyone was respectful, except the French of course, who talked loudly before and after her French presentation. My brother and I shot a glance and walked up to the (little) Frenchies and said, “Ferme la bouche!” Whereupon the Frogs looked all put out and grumpy, but they did shut the fuck up.

Hoi An Vietnam On the waterfront docks an old guy dressed nicely in a little boat was hanging out posing for tourist pictures, and gets a little tip. French asshole with a very expensive camera has the old guy pose, and when the fellow holds out his hand he smirks and walks off. Unfortunately he walked right into me, and I wasn’t moving. I did let him have my opinion of cheap ass smug fucktards and seemed ready to come to blows - I planned to put him and expensive camera in the smucky water, but it didn’t come to that.

Luang Prabang Laos A group of child monks are getting lessons around an outdoor table. Ahole fat Frenchie is taking their pictures. Then he shoves his telephoto lens right up to their faces and they are visibly uncomfortable. Teacher and students try to ignore him and me, being Mr. Mellow, told him he was being rude and the conversation quickly turned into “Vous etes stupide,” and “Vous etes un cochon francais,” (french pig). He spoke to me rather nastily, and with his fat nose in the air, turned his back to me and huffed off. Being Mr. Mellow I did a fast kick to the back of his head (pulled it, no contact, he deserved a beat down, but even I have reservations about Laotian jails and such). The kiddie monks all burst out laughing and I bowed deeply to them. I could get a job as temple monster guard.

from Tripadvisor (which is my travelling bible)

What you don’t know untill you get there is the likelyhood that you will be outnumbered 4 or 5 to 1 by pig ignorant French tourist the majority being in their fifties sixties and seventies .They don’t know how to wait their turn they push you out of the way to get to food and the drinks machine in the dinning room they pick up food and try it as they walk around the serving area and if they don’t like it they spat it back onto the plate they had taken it from.I actually called a waiter over to take a plate of 50 or 60 Samosas that had part eaten food put on it .

I was in the carpark area waiting for the bus to Albufeira in the rain when the moronic French rushed out from reception one ignorant frog pushed a 5 year old out of the way to get on the coach it was then the Brits stood firm and said no ,the last I saw of the French prat was he was elbowed out of the way,I did smile seeing him sitting on a very wet car park.( Shame) .

Everywhere we went in Martinique, the French were incredibly rude.

BBC - French tourists are the worst in the world, coming across as penny-pinching, rude and terrible at languages, according to a new survey by Expedia
