zhudan, it is all cultural. The word "barbaric" is very racist and loaded, implying that your culture is the civilised one, and anyone not like you, must be bad.

nnoble, sorry, but you are wrong. Your obsession is showing.

mickey, I agree. I think zhudan is a barbarian.

I think since the Matt Miller virus has returned and is going to spread its festering agitation in many forms for some time to come I will follow tigertiger and take a hiatus from GK for a while until the moderators come up with an effective form of treatment. I feel myself descending into the snake devouring its own tail syndrome faster and faster. Typically when I fight monsters I become a monster myself. And Matt Miller is a monster. Not like Godzilla or Dracula, more like the thing inside the TV in Poltergeist. Not that I will be missed like tigertiger, but adios amigos.

zhudan, you are a damned fool if you think I, or anyone else, is who you think they are. Paranoid much?

'Who is Matt? Me? Haha, you're a damn fool...

And... GoKm is always linking to articles that require proxies.... Have a nice day.'

seems someone will be banned again.

Again, the spitting doesn't bother me that much. And yes I don't think spitting needs to be a fulltime occupation to be nasty habit for the majority of people. Plus there are a lot of people, and even worse a lot of people smoking, and that means a lit of spitting.

No I am not trying to vindicate. i am just telling that there is a China beyond the make believe and propaganda, everyone smiling,....China.

Dudeson's, I got your point. Feel free to keep expressing whatever you want. But in all seriousness, please try to avoid getting petty about it and focusing on silly diatribes about spitting.

But at the end of the day, everyone's experience here is different because everyone's life is different. Don't fall into the trap of trying to coerce others into your China views and expect everyone to see eye to eye. People's views are shaped by their personal experiences. Seems like you're on a crusade. Take it easy.
