I plead guilty to occasionally stirring the pot, but also to try and wake some folks up.

Yes LON what other sterotypes can you post. I think it's always a good idea to stereotype a country of over 300,000 people with a few observations of bad behavior. It really stimulates friendly discussion and brings us all closer together here at FG. I used to argue point by point with the other American bashers here but I found it to be "pointless". No one's mind is ever changed. I've been around the world myself I can make some rather colorful stereotypes of pther countries myself to stimulate further discussion, but you know what? Pi$$ on it, I have friends here from some of those countries and they are worth more to me now than $hitting on their countries of origin. You say you are a Korean War vet, well I'm a war vet also and most of my buddies don't appreciate public bashing of our country by former vets. There are a few other vets on FG as well and you may want to consider their feeling before offering up anymore of your stereotypes of your countrymen.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Just be sure to alert the US military if you notice the Chinese stocking up on those Japanese toilets while you're there.

Jeez Zinks, calm down, he was only expressing a point of view. Its Lon's opinion & he's entitled not only to have it but to express it here on the board. We all know not every person in the world falls into stereotypical catagories but some do, or the catagories would not exist.

Now here's yer dummy back, start sookin :-4

I dunno. I think stereotyping is underrated. Sometimes you gotta do it for the sake of conversation. Especially intense conversation.
