		<description>Also, it looks like I got distracted after remarking about how beautifully small your worlds are. Let us continue, shall we? 
So your lives consists of 
a) the classroom you uneducated tools teach at
b) the dinky little pigsty apartment built for the likes of you swine that you call home
c) the route you pigs crawl on to get from point A to B

If this is how small your world is, then why are you complaining that there&#039;s no art? Do you expect art to fall out of the sky and right in front of your face or what?</description>

		<description>To A G:
Virtually everything else you&#039;ve said I found to be unintelligible. Go finish that high school degree so that you&#039;re actually qualified to teach English. 

Thanks,

Best regards,

		<description>First of all, I&#039;d like to give some merit for my position, having grown up in the United States for most of my life (the exception being coming back to Taiwan for the summer a few times) and having lived here for almost three years. So you can say that I&#039;ve seen both sides of the world (especially the two sides in this ongoing debate; the West and Taiwan.) I was struck with disbelief at how ignorant people - I acknowledge the fact that the people commenting are only a small fraction (a small yet disdainful and pitiful fraction) of the foreign population in Taiwan - can be. So I&#039;ll go through and pick apart your complaints.

First of all,

I&#039;m amazed by how many foreigners have remarked about being stared at. It&#039;s interesting, isn&#039;t it? Perhaps even bewildering that YOU, a FOREIGNER, would be stared at a nation with a highly homogenous population!? Isn&#039;t that amazing!? Who would&#039;ve expected? 

You can say the same for ANY country, ANY where. Go to Pakistan. They&#039;ll stare at you. Go to Russia. They&#039;ll stare at you. First case in point however, if you don&#039;t want to be stared at, THEN TRY TO BLEND IN. TRY. Can&#039;t you try? I take the MRT daily, and I see many foreigners use it too. (The MRT, for those uneducated and ignorant foreigners who&#039;ve even refused to learn the acronyms, is the Metropolitan Railway Transit)
What&#039;s funny about the foreigners I see? Nobody stares at them. They keep to themselves. Why? Because they blend in. You can say the same about ANYONE in ANY country. If you stand out then you&#039;ll be stared at. Simple as that. I&#039;ve seen more fraction of Taiwanese people being &quot;stared at&quot; than you foreigners. 

To Jim:
At least the points you made remain quite objective. But I do have to add that the 40 year olds you mention trying to pick up girls at a club are no exclusively Taiwanese. Ahem, English teachers anyone?

To A G:
It&#039;s weird how you mention a couple of times that you feel like Taiwanese girls who are simply trying to make an earning in an honest way for their tuition fees should just become prostitutes.

Aren&#039;t you a real man? So I can assume that every time you see a girl working hard for their well earned money should be sexually violated? You&#039;re a disgusting piece of shit.

 Also, the television personalities on YoYo TV looking really immature.  What the fuck do you expect? YoYo TV broadcasts shows such as Big Mouth Bird, Keroro, Blue Cat (transliterated from Mandarin) - SHOWS MADE FOR CHILDREN. Do you want a fucking scantily clad slut with their cleavage hanging out wearing booty shorts teaching kids how to say &quot;butterfly&quot; in Chinese? Once again, I think you&#039;re disgusting. I would categorize you as someone that&#039;s far worse than a pervert. Is this what&#039;s going through your mind when you&#039;re on a television channel MADE FOR KIDS? 

How these girls &quot;.. need a good fuck in their tight chink vagina and a cock to thrust inside their chink mouths so they can just shut the fuck up&quot; ?

You are seriously fucked up. You should be deported from this land and be forced to register as a sex offender wherever you go.

And also, Taiwan is a part of China? Isn&#039;t it funny how ignorant people can be? Have you even bothered to read up or perhaps given give a slight glance at the history between Taiwan and China? You are not the person to judge how a person identifies themselves. Do you think you&#039;re someone who&#039;s above other people to the point where you can decide what SOMEONE else thinks? Ignorant pig.  You&#039;re just full of yourself, aren&#039;t you? 

Thinking everyone that bumps into you on the streets is trying to go for a &quot;romantic encounter&quot;? Haha, what a joke. 


I believe I&#039;ve ousted my rage and I&#039;ve decided to stop here. Seriously, get that pedophile off the face of the planet. These generalizations are made off a small fraction of the encounters you foreigners have had (it&#039;s not like you&#039;re willing to engage in the rich culture that is here in Taiwan) so why bother anymore? It&#039;s not like you idiots know that Taiwan hosts the richest art galleries of more than 4,000 years of Chinese history or the various beautiful monuments and temples. You idiots are complaining about a lack of culture and art - but what are you exposed to if you don&#039;t even seek them out? What do you expect, paintings to be hung on the side of every fucking building? 
1. You don&#039;t know art if you don&#039;t even seek to recognize it.
2. You don&#039;t even know the definition of culture. Culture is everywhere. But too bad you people are too ignorant to know what culture means to recognize it. But I&#039;m sure that your lives consists of 
a) the classroom you uneducated tools teach at 
b) the dinky little pigsty apartment built for the likes of you swine that you call home
c) the route you pigs crawl on to get from point A to B

To be tolerant is to tolerate intolerance. There&#039;s a threshold, however, and I believe you pigs should get the fuck out back to wherever the fuck you pigs came from, whatever glorious and perfect country you lived in. Stop trying to pilfer our money by teaching English here. I&#039;m sure wherever you lived is 100 times better than little Taiwan. It&#039;s not like we&#039;re the Silicon Valley of the world, inventing and producing the majority of the world&#039;s technology and computers or being the most disciplined and studious and smartest people in the world. 

Oh wait, we are. 

So the next time you complain about Taiwan on whatever computer or electronic you&#039;re using, just remember, it&#039;s a little piece of Taiwan, what you&#039;re typing on, so thank us so you can live in the 21st century.</description>

		<description>Let me tell you aliens how Taiwanese actually views the foreign parasites on Taiwan.
蠻夷,知此謂乎?&lt;&lt;This short ancient Chinese phrase is beyond either bananas&#039; or white skin pigs&#039; limited intelligence to comprehend because you guys are not smart at all; and also, due to your low intelligence quotient,sometimes I even wonder that English speaking creatures do not have enough brain cells to learn the most advanced language, the Chinese. As the smartest race in the world, I am really sick of showing how high my IQ is to you inferior foreign races whenever we talk  with each other;  it is obvious that you aliens will never be able to learn the local language. Moreover, I can tell you aliens why we always stare at you on the streets. The answer is simple, it is just like we don&#039;t move our eyes away from those rare animals while we stroll in a zoo, right? Your primitive facial features and pungent body smell makes us automatically associate you aliens with animals...these are the reasons. 
Oh, By the way, I do feel sorry about that you aliens &quot;can not&quot; provoke back in Chinese. Ha~Ha.
