Wow, he just had a vague idea of "present weapon, receive money" and ran with it with not even a second's worth of further thought. He didn't factor in that there might be resistance, or armed guards, or any kind of inconvenience. Even when he's there, he's so completely void of all independent thought and reason that he picks up his phone immediately to just chat about some other poo poo while he's robbing the bank. "Phone ring... so pick it up yes?? What means 'wait until better time'? This very confuse" So I'm assuming this guy's been awarded some kind of medal for being a paragon of Chinese 5000 year culture and mentality?

Grand Fromage posted:It's an honest question there are cultural ideas that don't really translate to other cultures. Pettiness, being the bigger person, finding the thrower of a poo poo fit pathetic, these are all things that China doesn't seem to have and I don't know if it's just a completely foreign idea or what. I dunno, I've been to all sorts of places all over the world, and I've only ever heard of this kind of behavior - that is, acting like a huge baby, which is what you're describing - being regarded as normal and acceptable in China and Korea. Obviously, there are huge cultural differences all over the world. In many parts of Africa, for instance, while people have a great deal of warmth in regards to their family, their friends and their tribe/local community, it's not regarded as strange or a bad character trait to view people of lesser social status with contempt. Westerners, Americans in particular, appear incredibly self-centered to most cultures in the world. Russians have a sense of fatalism that is offputting to most other people. Germans despise the concept of humor, fun, or merriment. Every culture has its quirks, but nowhere in the world have I ever seen the total lack of emotional maturity and connection to the real world that people describe in China.

I don't know how stereotypically Chinese it is to murder 19 people, but killing seventeen people to frantically cover up after killing two does seem symptomatic of the pisspoor planning we've come to.know and love the Middle Kingdom for.

The eating noises I don't really mind, but what gets to me is 1) the lack of personal space and 2) the loving constant yelling. You start a conversation with someone using your best, politest inside voiciest "hello" or "knee how" and the next second you got a pimply neckbeard/goonette with food still in their mouth and a giant booger sticking out their nostril stepping up to you until they're half a foot away from your face and just screaming like there's a loving hurricane going on. Bonus points if they forget halfway through that you don't speak Chinese and just start yelling Mandarin phrases at you, even after you've reminded them you don't speak Chinese AND they themselves started off speaking English to you. You can't ask them to quiet down, either, because then they'd lose face if they did and HAVE TO YELL EVEN LOUDERRRRR AT THE STUPID FOREIGNERRRRRR.

It's kind of a two-way street. Ordinary Thais love the monarchy like the Norks love Kim Jong, and the military use this love and their connection to the monarchy to legitimize their own power.

nerdz posted:It's pretty low in my list of countries that I'd like to visit. Thai food is good but doesn't grab me and that's my main motivation to visit places. It's just funny to be patronized like this while being someone who lives in a third world country that moved away from monarchy not that long ago and lived through a military dictatorship. Brazil still hasn't really fully recovered from either. gently caress kings and military juntas. I respect the Thai people and I'm pretty sure they would manage just fine without either just like we did. Thailand has a lot of extremely beautiful places to visit, both in terms of ancient architecture and art and in terms of nature. The people are unbelievably friendly, the food is amazing (just lol at a Brazilian having an opinion on good food), and everything is cheap. Some of the women have dicks, which is cool. We get that you don't like monarchy. I don't think a lot of goons are die-hard monarchists. Hth.
