So funny when we go out with chinese and westerns here in china. IF its a nice restaurant... All the chinese will use the knife and fork... and the "westerners" will be the one using chop sticks

Look, there is a trick the Thai people use to help monkeys learn how to use chopsticks to eat with, it also is used on white people since they are about same; get a rubber band and put it around the very end that you dont eat with nice and tight. It like training wheels. Take it off after a few days and it will be easier. You just gotta get the second finger in the right spot and it easy as.

Sorry but I don't "shovel" my food.....pigs do that....and for your 411 I'm not white.:mtongue:

Why? Damn you people are annoying. Just coz you never grew up with them and find it a little complicated for your simple minds you think that there is no way someone could want to do something that complicated for any other reason than tradition. I tell yous again; IT IS NOT DARN HARD. They use sticks coz it is the easiest way to eat their food, end of story. I use them every day, I know, okay.

Well first time I used the chopsticks I ended up having to stab the shrimp that I was trying to eat and Slykaz1 is right no one is expected to change from forks and knives to chopstick and be able to eat their food like nothing changed, its takes practice to be able to hadle chopsticks MR. I use them everyday, and I've been using chopstick for a year now and I still have probelms keeping the food from slipping and falling back to the plate/bowl or whatever it is that I have my food in

:D :D PMSL.......:cool: :cool:

Tenchu your one idiotic-mean-S.O.B

Do you even know what that is? I AM chauvinist and darn proud of it. It is blind devotion for military glory or some similar concept where 2 groups are involved and you support one, - that is not a bad thing, devotion. Go get a dictionary.

LOL, Noodle, hope you are reading this... Remember what we were saying. LOL

So then that supports every detail I thought about you.......Thank you for clearing my "want to think he's a good person" judgement about you. And for the spelling go back through everything you've ever written, the way you spell most of your words makes me think you haven't written in english for too long....:mtongue: It's funny how you view us women when you actually came from a woman.....Hmmm......what goes around comes around you'll pay your dues soon enough :p

You cant just say chauvinist pig. It makes no sense. If you say chauvinism people who know the word are going to think you are talking about their patriotism for their country or religion or something. You have to say chauvinism against woman, or it makes no sense. Sides, I am not chauvinist against woman. Quite the opposite. I am one of few martial artists out there who want to train woman to fight the same as men, and with all their lack of strength and prowess I appreciate the potential of their perception and intuition which almost always surpasses a mans by about 10 to 1, giveing them a heightened reaction speed when properly trained and an increased power of 6th sense.... People who assume things about me are always wrong. I judge people by their heart, not their gender. I'll have the strong sit at the table with me while I dine and the weak wait at the door, be them male or female, coz I AM chauvinist.

Awwww.....you called me sweetheart....look I was brought up to respect people's comments whatever you want to call it.....And you step.....no squish all over "women's" comment's, that makes you against what we have to say.....and frankly that makes me feel words beyond mentioning at you. I want you to respect those of us, just as you want us to respect you. If you can't handle that then don't comment us. Since I've read most of your comments you sound like you have something against us.....I don't respect people who start off with insults before explanations to me you are hostile.

hahaha........I'm actually rolling all over the floor with laughter.......not

You were rude to my friend in one of those "terrorist" thing I believe and to me too, come to think of it now.....Look all I want is that when you're gonna be loud against comments......don't go trigger happy typing away.....I know you have some good views on some things.....but most of the time you end up insulting others......either on purpose or without thought.....I'd like to see less of that and more of the ideals you have to say.....Though I already know what I say will only go in one ear and out the other. So, whether you "grovel" or not. It's not gonna change the fact of whom I now think you are.
