Oh dear Choudoufu and Zimmer.
In your attempts to attack me, you only end up making yourselves look foolish.
English teachers, eh?
My face is really going bright red for both of you right now

Must be my mistake, "rascism" gets over 2.5 million results on a google search.
And "definately" gets about 44 million. I guess that spelling is good too.
Reminds me of the time I met a guy in some bar who was from Texas. He told me there were over 100 million people in Texas. There was no arguing with the guy. We didn't have proof at hand but he knew he was right. I told him to look it up when he had a chance. He didn't seem like the type to let facts get in the way though.
It's OK to be wrong. It happens to everybody. |

What utter nonsense is this?
I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
Sorry, what's your point?

Reading comprehension is not your strong suit, huh? Feigned ignorance has long been the bolt-hole of the coward.
Don't worry - I fully expect you will not understand the above. |

In my humble opinion, racism is pure stupidity.
However, people choose to go to a country, no one forces them.
If you go, there may well be things you don't like but there's also an airport.
Yep, unpopular opinion but that's life and it won't change no matter how many posters dislike reality. |

Freddie sweetheart, are you still wasting your time trying to bait me through insults dear?
Run along, pop on your little nightcap, and off to bed.
I'll talk to you again in a few years when you're all grown up xx |

Chouduofu.
You say that you don't believe your booze swilling avatar sends out a very specific message about you as a teacher/individual.
I beg to differ.
I think that your avatar sends out a very clear message about not only you, but also about a huge percentage of the "teachers" currently active in China.
Your avatar is actually beyond parody, and illustrates exactly what I have been arguing against on these threads.
Without realising it, you highlight the huge problem going on within education in China.
Basically, there are scores and scores of uneducated, unqualified, booze-hounds, sex-tourists, economic failures, and social misfits, passing themselves off as "educators".
This would never be allowed in a Western country, and I'll guess that most of the clique who post on the China boards, you know who you are, would be hard pushed to get a job shovelling "shirts" from one place to another back home, let alone find a serious teaching position.
The fact that there is such a huge pool of the above sloshing around in the Chinese education market, means that unscrupulous employers can drive down wages for real teachers, and discriminate in terms of race.
Disgusting.

Choudoufu
And, whilst it's very tiresome to continually have to point out the (supposed) English teacher's mistakes on this thread, can anyone see a problem with the above?
China really needs to get a grip of itself in terms of who is actually allowed to teach in the country.
Countries such as Indonesia are already tightening up, and apparently China intends to do so too.
Good.
At that point, people, regardless of colour, can hopefully find well paid, serious jobs, so long as they are properly qualified, and know the difference between "your" and "you're".

Hi fat_chris,
The policemen I'm talking to say we only need one more post from you to locate your employer's "church".
Any chance of another quick personal insult against me just to triangulate your position?
Cheers mate.
Kind regards, and much, much, love.  |

Contentious bickering, off-topic comments, trolling, threats and several other violations of board policies just got this thread locked.
If you were involved in such behaviour on this thread, you may assume that you are now a blip on our radar. |
