Haha, no, I assure you it's not - more like the opposite in fact. I don't know, I think it's because you often seem to talk about Hong Kong in sort of the same way as moonmonkey and I talk about China - as not your home country... or maybe that's just my impression... I dunno...
Edit: First time I read your sentence, I thought it said, "Why would you think that I am white and American? Is it because of my lousy grandma?"...

No, not just yours - I thought the same thing but I think it was because you don't look very chinese either!

Yeah i don't wanna emphasize too much about my tie with Hong Kong when i talk about things that are related to this place. Lots of people from HK (check goldenhammer lol) feel too proud when they talk about their home country. It's really cheesy. Anyway, I am as chinese as one can get, but i also recieved some major western education, and started my internet life early (my icq # has 6 digit only ha~). So i am kinda like a mix with different cultural backgrounds; when i talk about Hong Kong, i wouldn't be bias.

pardon me for not being on top of the lingo. EQ and AQ would mean what ? (err I assume "E" Quotient and "A" Quotient ... but what do the E and A stand for ?)

Perhaps E = Economy? (Or Emotion?)
A = Air-conditioning?
(What about CQ, the Commitment Quotient? )

another example of an ignorant American who can't even get his racial stereotypes correct.
one of my Asian friends would certainly call you a "dumbass cracker".

Except for the fact that "ninja" doesn't have a connotation as bad as "gangsta."

depends on who you are. ninjas are efficiently lethal, while gangstas are brutish inept thugs. same goes for a shaolin monk, er...as in being competent, as opposed to inept.

Do you want to see a real Bavarian?
That's me (the smallest guy in the middle of the picture / a long time ago) in a Bavarian Beertent-Band...
...you are allowed to laugh!
I mean look at all those faces - we must have been the ugliest band ever!
And can you believe that this small boy (age 12) and this guy is the same person?

Okay, never, ever, posted my pic online but here we go. Excuse the quality, it was taken with an iSight.

Those cows won't know what hit 'em. They won't know what hit them even after it hits them, because they're cows.

It looks better when it shorter.
Plus I don't know what else to do with it. I don't want it to look bad, but I'm not overly concerned with it either.

Having worked in Asia and engaged to an Asian chick, I would think as Asian would say "tamade" , I don't think "cracker" makes it past certain parts of the US.

Well, I just bleached my hair myself which was interesting, as opposed to paying $90 for the salon to do it (what a waste) so I decided to take some crap pics and post the results. These are post-shower so close your eyes straight boys!!! (Yes, that's a 12" powerbook in the background)
BTW I know these sooo deserve the attention whore graphic but meh I don't really care

I only meant it in the US, as Zimphire is clearly an ignorant American.
Racist commments for whites in the US just isn't very offensive I have to say. cracker? honky?
and you look like your dad.

again, my skin is flame retardent.
"gangstas" are not trained to kill. anyone can pick up a gun and pull a trigger. therefore this is true�"...gangstas are brutish inept thugs", and that would be more of a generality rather than a racist remark as gangsta does not necessarily imply a specific color.
and that "Own3d" pic and lingo have no real value in terms of an insult. it's like if a four year old told me that he's rubber and I'm glue, it just doesn't feel even slightly offensive, maybe for me to poop on, but that's a whole nother thing. own3d? maybe you're a worthless human being?
you're fired? learn to choose your battles? next time let your mind relax before you try to insult someone. when you get the impetus to reply, just control yourself for a second, don't listen to your instinct because it is wrong. make sure all your comments are correct so people can't pick them apart so easily. and try to layoff the immature and condescending insults, do you think I'm Ca$h or the chicken?
and again, my skin is flame retardent.

Why does it matter what size the thread is? You don't have to load all of it at once. Heck the DTP thread is a lot bigger.

Yeah, we both have the "I just woke up and it's pretty damn early and pretty damn bright in the morning to have a photo taken" look.
BTW, qnxde, you look like Spike's little brother. Or at least a cousin.

I watched buffy the other day and spike has disgusting hair. It's yellow and greasy and ewww *shivers* I bet he has really bad breath too.
But thanks for the compliment, I just wonder how the upkeep of redoing the roots every 2 weeks will go.
