lol Yao Ming.... too funny:biggrin:
It was a summerization from an article a guy wrote in a college class of mine. I should have noted that since people would probably take it seriously, although the original author was vietnamize and believed this.
I can't say I don't know many asian people, my last 3 girl friend's were asian, and I speak Manderin Chinese fluently.

I'm sure glad your Mandarin Chinese is fluent because your English isn't that great. Not to nitpick too much, but:
"summerization" --> "summarization"
"vietnamize" --> "Vietnamese"
"Manderin" --> "Mandarin"
"girl friend's" --> "girlfriends"
Spelling has been a recent pet peeve of mine. Lately, I feel like I'm losing my ability to spell correctly. It's probably because I've been spending too much time on the forums reading posts with horrible misspelling of words.
What does it matter that your last three girlfriends were Asian? Do all of you believe that summarization? Or was that supposed to be a joke? I am confused here

Psychobiology,
Your sentence is written with a passive voice and would read better in an active voice.
It should read "Spelling is a recent pet peeve of mine". :wink: :smile: :tongue:
Coulnd't risist the oportunety. :biggrin:

Hahaha! Touche! However, there's nothing technically wrong with passive voice though :wink:.

i thought he meant 90% of his friends = his last 3 girl friends.
ops, i guess i wasn't seeing clearly.
I suppose I should concentrate more on my grammar and spelling to appease you Psychobiology. After you work a 6-6, much of which is spend walking from structure to structure in the TX heat, then work on a car for 4 hours, we'll have a spelling B to end all spelling B's. I work a lot of hours and save my rhetoric skills for when they are needed most. I'm not a fantastic speller to begin with and the problem has probably worsened with my frequent use of spell check, although the type on NSXprime is bothersome to me.
I am embarrassed to have misspelled Mandarin, only because I speak the language and often do so. Throughout 3 years of it in college, the only times I actually spell the word 'Mandarin' is once a semester when I register for classes or when I update my resume. My apologies, 'dui bu qi'.
I could spend a lifetime criticizing the grammatical structure of posts on any forum, but the obscene ones [including some I did] bother me as well. I usually don't get on the forums until fairly late at night when I'm trying to relax.
90% of my friends are asian, last 3 girlfriends were asian as well. Trying to get across I'm not a completely uncultured farmer from Texas who couldn't tell the difference between SK and SV on a map. Then again, I figure there is nothing inherently wrong with that either. Anyhow, happy driving..

Somehow I find it very hard to believe that you speak Mandarin fluently. For someone who actually put in so much effort to learn a language to become "fluent", one must have had quite decent understanding of that culture and perhaps are somewhat of an intellect. Your absurd statement clearly tells me that you are clueless regarding the Chinese culture and vision. In school, I've learned that certain ethnic groups have much higher prevalence of certain diseases such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cells, Tay-Sach, and etc. But never in my entire education and career that had I heard that Asian had poor eye sights. Maybe your 3 Asian girlfriend were totally blinded by your stunning good look and charming personality?:tongue:sahtt said:

My whole point regarding the spelling and grammar was to provide further evidence to discredit your completely absurd statement. It really doesn't bother me that much. All of us make mistakes in the English language (it IS an art after all). I consider myself really bad at the English language.
You still didn't answer my question though. Do you sincerely believe what you posted? If you do, how did your Asian girlfriends put up with you? They must not speak English very well, or they didn't understand your Mandarin. Does it make you feel superior to say things like that?
I'm sorry, but your statement was ludicrous and insulting. I'm tired of clueless people making completely erroneous statements that insult a culture.
sahtt said:
uh, your "dui bu qi" and 3 years of college may work with you asian ex-girlfriends, but that doesn't make you fluent in 'Mandarin'.
Mandarin is the official Chinese spoken language, and when you say asian friends and asian ex-girlfriends, it does not only include Chinese. For all I know, maybe out of the 90% of your friends that are asian are Vietnamese, Cambodian, Korean, and you speak fluent Mandarin with them and it make perfect sense.
OK enough bitching....so get this...my neighbor comes over and says to me "You want fence?....you want fence because we loud Vietnamese!!...we split fence with you ok?...ok"...No joke she actually said that to me..and I never complained about them being loud or Vietnamese!!:smile:
Just curious, where did this asians can't drive thing came from anyways?

In case no one knows what I'm talking about:

I guess the asians in that video see diffeently too. Waddya know, I guess everyone sees things differently.
Edit:Sorry, forgot about the language! May not be safe for work, but great for laughs.

Hey all, it's Friday; time to lighten up, think about Saturday and all of the fun you will have driving your NSX this weekend. :smile:

The Chinese guy in the backseat looks at the Japanese guy sitting next to him and says, "Wow this is a smooth ride."
The Japanese guy leans forward and taps the Korean guy on the shoulder and says, "This is a smooth ride."
Puzzled, the Korean guy turns to his left and says to the white guy in the driver's seat, "thanks for driving."
Yes, I'm asian too. :biggrin:
I should be at least half offended, but I'm too busy laughing...
