For all us non-traders...

Are Aboriginals First Nations bothered by the fact that South East Asians are referred to as Indians or is that an entirely different thing? :unsure:
Also since it's "wrong" to put Indians Aboriginals First Nations people in headdress on sports team logos would it be acceptable to have one pictured in a business suit standing in a casino?

I should point out that until someone has been here a while, and shown to have an actual personality- and dare I hope for a brain, I don't actually give two squirts of Oleg semen about them. However, I do try to be somewhat friendly to anyone who can place more than six words in a post (not even requiring above moderate coherence). I do understand that this leaves me open to trolls and gives (a perceived) friendliness where it is not necessarily due. I would like to see some life return to the site. Chasing noobs away before they get their first 20 posts in, while it can be fun, doesn't help retain the potentially decent new members.

Perhaps I am overly optimistic, but have hopes that a board with several thousand members could have more than 30 worth talking to. :idunno:

Speaking of which, I'm currently into, (well not really into as of yet) this South East Asian girl (Indian for the slow in the crowd). So she asked me out to karaoke night a few weeks back. I got there and there was this couple (a white guy and his white girlfriend - basically a typical ignorant example of the background of anything outside the pub we were hosting the karaoke at).

One thing lead to another, and it was me left with the white boyfriend over a couple of beers. Noticing that I was dragged there willingly (I do enjoy singing in real life, with my friends/band/potential bang) but he wasn't; his girlfriend kind of said "LETS GO THERE THEY'RE SINGING" louder than even the loudest karaoke singer with a mic, I started a conversation with him.

Me: So. How much does it suck being stuck here with people you don't know stirring up unnecessary drama, being blamed for not being cooperative, singing, or being fun - all against your will. Are her pants coming off that important to you?

Moron: No, not at all dude. I love learning about other cultures.

Me: You do realize singing isn't a cultural thing, even if the majority of people here aren't white, don't you?

Moron: But you guys do sing Indian songs.

Me: How does that exactly teach you about a culture anymore than say, youtube, would?

Moron: I agree with you.

Me: What?

Moron: You're right.

Me: Of course I am. So why don't you save yourself the effort, take your girl, take the beers and go have fun somewhere?

Moron: I like learning about other cultures.

Needless to say, the conversation here reminded me of that night.

What do u want to prove with ur experience, Darth? U want to say u can judge all the South East people by one example? While I try to understand western culture from here. Then what's the difference between u and me?

I don't think what mega said r useless. U r not a psychologists, u don't know me. Do u know yourself?

BTW, India is in South Asia, not South East Asia.

Thx for ur kindness, Mega, and I believe I am not the only one appreciate it. U r not facing a brick wall, u r facing a mirror. People will treat u the same way as u treat them.

Can a mod please close this thread. People are being fags, and are going way off topic, and are discussing my personality, instead of the topic

If the FST staff closed every thread which goes off-topic, then the forum would be dead. Except maybe for the lounge.

Well im not asking for every thrEAD, JUST THIS ONE.

You know ,not to inflame your homophobic tendencies any further but the funny thing about threads is that if you leave then open they have this funny tendency to eventually give you if the not the answer that you are looking for , then at least something to think about.

I do hope you turn out to be someone who adds to our discussions, and brings some new insights to the site. While Rings would rarely admit it, he has been known to be wrong. :)

Extra credit points are given to those who write in full sentences with punctuation. However, it did not benefit Vorx as he has shown himself to be a douche bag. ::ermm:

Well, what did you expect from someone who titles their thread the way he did? :P

In bt nowadays the surest way to spot an idiot is by his loud and frequent expounding of his supposed love of HD in much the same way that you used to be able to spot a bad guy by his wearing of a black hat.
