Are you referring to Bleroplasty? I have heard of it, but most Chinese tend to keep their Asian appearance. Some younger Japanese get into punk culture with purple hair and shit like that but for the most part they still look Asian. The whitening thing is big in South Asia, skin lightening advertisements are so common. Even there at the end of the day most of these people wind up looking only fair complexioned against other Indians not Westerners.
[QUOTE=CBGBConnisur]I was referring to Asians in Asia, and Asian people in Australia tend to stick to the old country's ways. Smell a white female when she has not showered for a while. I flew on Air France, which I will never do again, and the whole plain stunk like BO. Asian women tend to have milder body odors. I even know a Japanese guy who told me he does not care for Caucasian women for the fact that they get fat and they often have poor hygiene, would rather date other Asians, thats why not that many Asian men go after white women. I got an Asian girlfriend that holds down a full time job but still manages to make dinner. Every Caucasian woman I have had a relationship with would usually look a for a take out menu.[/QUOTE]
Granted I've only seen pictures of NZ and AU located Asians and they are influenced by Western culture maybe in dress, makeup and hair die. I know of the BO you speak of with French people, I know am GENERALIZING here....
You as well as myself highlight the lack of "domestic skills" with American women and I'm sure you'll find the same problems with British women and some Canadian women out of the countries that speak English firstly.
I can find a girl that can cook, but you have to weigh that vs a better looking girl that will take care of herself over a longer time period (and offers other benefits), where a girl from a more rural area where looks are almost secondary after your married tend to let themselves go and if they are raising children they have constant access to food where a once skinny girl becomes plump like a turkey.
Again shouldn't this be in the LTR section or something?? I guess the Opinion forum is basically another name for "Off Topic".
I don't know guys, its confusing at best and tiresome at the worst. I can fully understand the P4P scenario but I just happen to think, in the long run a LTR is cost effective, its just the matter of finding the right woman to fit your "economic model".
Jackson feel free to move the last couple of post to the right thread, thanks...
[QUOTE=Clandestine782] I think it safe to say that someone who makes over $100,000 a year does not have that much free time.[/QUOTE]I'm not butting into your argument at all, but I can confirm it is often quite the opposite. Unless you are a doctor, engineer, lawyer or somebody involved in tedious technical time-consuming work, it usually works the other way around. The more you make the more free time you do have.
Life ain't fair.

Make of it what you will, the results have always benefited Israel.[/QUOTE]
Well, an objective observer might claim world events thus far appear to always benefit me (certainly far more than Israel), but that does not mean I'm running a vast and sinister conspiracy from my underground Bunker.
As far as most anyone knows.
Anyway, I think I understand your point, but just because history seems to have favored Israel recently...I can't imagine a reasonable person could envy Israel's overall strategic and historic situation. It's been around for 60 years and only two of it's neighbors have recognized it; "As the Imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map." is a quote from the Iranian President, not just some chump on the streets of Isphan. So, while Israel might pull off an Entebbe or Osirak or play an essentially tactical situation well - it's not winning the big game. With luck, maybe 10 years down the road, Iraq might recognize it. Maybe. But the way I see it, the clock is running down -

And, while this may all seem very remote to the average American, whenever I think about it I also reflect on how the First World War started and how much more connected the world seems to be today. Read the Homeland Security Threat Assessment for the years 2008-13. It's very depressing where this all seems to be going. It seems to me that we could wake up one day in the not distant future and live in a fundamentally worse way than we do today.
So, it leads to a kind of "carpe diem light" political philosophy down here in the Bunker - which I'm sure you will grasp for paradox "seize the day, but do it in moderation".
Otherwise, I would do Michelle Obama and I would do Beyonce and I have enough self-knowledge to say I would even fuck an ugly French aristocratic chick. Avec plaisir. I've screwed some damn ugly women; just thinking about it sends a chill up my arms. I blame biology, but still....what a pig.

The report Obama and Oil so you all out there are wondering whats this about? Ok Oil is today $42. 23 cents a barrel when I left for Russia A gallon of gas Regular in Canada was $0. 70 cents a liter. Thats $2. 80 A gallon. A barrel of oil today is $40. 34. It is now $0. 95 cents atliter today. Which means it went up $0. 15 atliter over night so its now $3. 80 cents a gallon in Canada. Every body knows that we are in a sever recession thats NO news. Because of this economic MELT down theres not a big demand for oil. OK so the only bright spot was GAS prices when LOW gave people more, consumer spending, discesionary money to spend. Like going out for dinner buying clothes etc. Now that OIL prices are still LOW why are GAS prices at the PUMPS getting higher. That will definately cause a DEPRESSION. That was the only bright shinning thing going for the world. So now the OIL companies are really screwing the world. So Obama with all his powers and trying to stimulate the US Economy all his HARD work will be for nothing. High Prices at the pumps are STEALING money from the people. As far as I see it WE are all doom. No matter what Obama does the OIL companies (parasites) will fuck up all of Obamas hard efforts.
[QUOTE=Jelly Donut]So, while Israel might pull off an Entebbe or Osirak or play an essentially tactical situation well - it's not winning the big game. [/QUOTE]I completely agree. I often wonder whether the Israelis and Americans really see and understand the big game or whether it is me who is on a different playing field seeing a different game. 'Cause I'll tell ya, very little of what we and the Israelis have done and are doing there makes any sense in the long run.
I have always asked myself, just how much oil does Israel have that we can afford to favor them so much over Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, U.A.E., Iraq, Iran, etc. Do we have an oil substitute coming out next year?
[QUOTE=CBGBConnisur]I bet when all the dust settles in another 20 years or so, the Chinese and the Asians are going to end up calling the shots on this planet.[/QUOTE]I won't bet with you on that because I fear you will win. I think you are correct with your statement.
I work in education. For several decades the US has 'privatized' education in that there are more and more for-profit schools and universities. Part of the reason for that is that state governments are cutting their education budgets and the federal government is cutting its transfers to state governments. The only viable way for educational insitutions to get funds to operate and grow is to beg for it from philanthropists or ask for it from investors.
Well, when the world economy goes into the tank as it has, and many wealthy individuals lose tens of millions to con artists like Bernie Madoff, the philanthropists' funds dry up. In addition, endowment funds have lost billions of dollars this year. Harvard University, with the world's largest private endowment, lost over 15% of its value in 2008. It was over 30 billion in 2006 and 2007. I think it is now around 25 billion, and the income generated from its endowment is almost nil because interest rates are so low now. Harvard announced that it was imposing a hiring freeze on non-faculty appointments, limiting the number of new faculty hires, and imposing limits on faculty raises.
When education gets privatized in terms of having a mission of maximizing shareholder wealth instead of a mission of maximizing student knowledge and ability, the insititutions start to 'market' or 'sell' education to students rather than educate students. The product then morphs into something for which students are willing to pay top dollar. I can tell you from (painful) experience that the product [b]IS NOT[/b] knowledge and ability. It is a credential to a better job, regardless of whether or not that credential is backed up by solid capability. It is just like currency no longer being backed up by gold, but rather only by the confidence that currency holders put into the government that issued the currency. I feel that many US degrees are getting that shaky!
In other countries where the government still controls the higher education industry, like is China or Japan, the quality of the education is still very high. The problem there is that not enough of the population is getting that high quality education. Even here in the US, take a good look at the demographics of who is getting top degrees.
Americans are getting degrees that are not well backed up by capability. Asians take education very seriously and get degrees that are well backed up by capability. It may be less than 20 years before Asians call the shots in the world. It may be only as long as it takes for Baby-Boomers with high quality degrees to retire and be replaced by Gen-Xers with mediocre degrees.
Higher education in America in particular has become a joke, major universities are looking more and more like diploma mills than legitimate institutions of learning. A college education in the US is ridiculously overpriced compared to anywhere else. A new and disturbing trend in the US is the appearance of private for profit universities, there are even a couple of for profit medical schools operating in the US that take students that would not have the grades to make it into a normal non profit medical school, these diploma mills used to be confined to the Caribbean and Eastern Europe but now this money making mill phenomenon is coming to the US. Its also amazing to see how many underemployed university graduates are out there in the work force. Walk into a Whole Foods or a Starbucks and the employees are often ridiculously too educated to work in such a place. I met one woman who had a Phd who worked in Starbucks because she could only get a part time teaching job at a community college. I actually walked into one Whole Foods in NYC and was amazed that the cashier was speaking unbroken and clear English, and it became obvious that she was too overqualified to be bagging groceries.
Asian students generally take their education and their potential degree's earning power a lot more seriously than others. Its no surprise you see a disproportionately large number of Asians in Engineering and Medical related programs at universities, while locals BS around with Theater Arts and other fluff degrees.
I am pretty sure I would win that bet easily.
[blue]Greetings Everyone,
I recently cleaned up this thread by deleting a number of reports focused on racial issues.
This action is in no way a reflection of the merits of any author's comments.
I am aware that the vast majority of references to racial issues are legitimate attempts to advise other fellow members about local racial issues and prejudices. However, past discussions in the Forum has repeatedly demonstrated that the subject simply cannot be discussed intelligently, in any form or for any reason, without being misinterpreted and without starting flame wars.
Please do not engage in discussions about race or racism in the Forum. Please read the Forum's Posting Guidelines for further information.
This cleanup process is not perfect, and it's possible that I may have inadvertently deleted a few otherwise legitimate posts. If you find that your own report was also deleted, please don't take it personally.
Thanks,
Jackson[/blue]
[QUOTE=Born Loser 5]That is very true...The company i work for is owned by jews and they are filthy rich only problem i found was they are very stingy..i mean very..no matter how good you are or work hard...there is no raise and
They even seem to know i earn and burn my monthly salery and i cant leave them..i dont know..but they seem to build a web around a person and know the whole world or i have become psycologically damaged to learn to know how these guys make money and still keep the workforce to keep working for them :)
It is really complex to understand jews, isreal and palestine in every sphere :)[/QUOTE]
Very funny, has happened to me before.
Because of my line of work I switch jobs a lot and do a lot of interviews.
I have noticed it when working for companies that could be definitely be identified as Jewish (Jewish owner or overwhelmingly Jewish management).
It seems to me their art is thinking of knowing the human psyche. With them, it's all a psychological game, as long as you don't know you're playing it or as long as you are willing to play by their rules.
It pretty much happens this way: they take pride in overtly declaring that they are in it for the profit and nothing else, publishing yearly results in great fanfare, almost obliging you to acknowledge that fact.
In the beginning it strikes you as slightly bizarre, why overstating the obvious.
What silently derives from that is that to maximize the profit they crave, they must minimize costs like your salary and the money they spend on your equipment.
So pretty soon you start getting tired of all the pettiness and public penny pinching, and start thinking about leaving.
But then you realize something out of the ordinary. There seems to be a few people in the office who have had very well defined jobs for a long time with the company, which they also make sure to publicly state very often, who want to "become your friends".
After a while you realize they don't really do anything all day long, and they always find the time to come greet you with some ear candy "How are you today? How is your brother Jack?".
These fellows prodigiously remember names of people of your family they've never meet, and ask you about them every time.
After that they proceed to probe you about your colleagues, how you feel at work, a bunch of very personal questions. As soon as you have a question for them, they disappear to "complete that report".
So while becoming sourer and sourer about your company, and isolating yourself more and more from your friends and family, you come to depend more and more from these "work buddies" and their 5 minute daily ear candy, to the point of neglecting your career and not doing the one move to get back on track, quitting the company.
If you ever find the strength to stop that game, like seriously asking for a raise, or asking your "friends" why the project they're on has lasted 5 years already, NOBODY in the company will talk to you any longer.
Maybe this can explain the "web around you" you are feeling.
After having gone through this, one day I found myself interviewing for another Jewish company.
It was a job that needed very special and specific qualifications, and they had looked for a really long time. I was qualified for the job, all the interviewers were very pleased with me, and I was waiting for an offer to be extended.
At some point they got really stuck on my lack of a second personal reference.
Having being burned once, I started stalling as well, so the manager and I exchanged a few emails.
What I noticed is that when they interview, they will find a point of contention and wait for you to beg for the job.
So I answered, "since a second personal reference it's so important for you, I encourage you to keep looking for a person that will be able to provide you with that".
They never replied back. They did not even try to lower the initial salary, or accept another person as a reference. They wanted me to beg, period. I had busted that game, they did not want to play the "acknowledge my worth" game.
What poor sports.
Naturally, this is not intended to characterize Jews in any way, it is just my personal experience.
[QUOTE=MJG Dogs]Study history. the jews have been persecuted since the days of christ and before that. In europe they have been persecuted for 1000 years.
In today's world, the Europeans are mad because the jews fight back. While they do not attack Israel directly, they use Hamas, hezbollah and other groups to do their dirty word, as does Iran. The europeans give terrorist money...
In the past few days in europe, jews have been shot in Denmanrk, property torched in France, and Belgium and jews have been threatened throughout.
Of course the jews are Europe's secondary target. In the long run their main target is the USA.. same thing, they will not attack america, but will fund the attack...
That is what they are, I am a christian american, but If I were a jew, i would never live in strutting euroclown land[/QUOTE]

wow...This is exactly what has been happening to me, I'm just stuck, no social life, cant leave the job, i just burned all my money on fun as i thought i would be promoted and so on. One mistake and im their slave for ever.
No defined role for me as you mentioned..i just do all sorts of work every day.
I dont have any energy left, i have been sucked dry ....hopefully, it will be over soon.
Some posts were deleted a few days back.
For those who are interested, there is a very good article in today's Wall Street Journal about Mid-East politics and America's role in it. The article is wide ranging in that it discusses how US involvement/influence in Israel, Iran, Egypt, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. over the past 40 years or so has helped shape the current state of affairs in that region. It is written by Andrew Higgins.
