My point is though, people are different. He was raised to believe that divorce is not a choice. Like with me, I'm brought up to believe a piece of paper proving my intelligence is absolutely necessary. As much as I hate the bureaucracy behind university education and as much as I UNDERSTAND that intelligence can't be defined by this piece of paper, I can't for the life of me STOP going to school and just work.
And again, you are not this man. You haven't started a family of your own, so you don't know what it means to destroy your own family for your own wants and needs. Maybe family means more to this man than it does to you, who knows.
Cowardice or not, it takes A LOT for a man to stay in an unhappy marriage. Whatever reason he did it for, scared of hurting his wife or not, he still kept his family intact until his children are older. If a person that puts the great good before his own is a coward, than Jesus is a coward.
And it's "whether" you want to be using, not "weather."
sorry i forgot the internet is such serious business and the grammar police is at full force.

It's good that you ignored my entire post, save for the last sentence. I'm going to assume you agree with the rest.
I apologize for having a pet peeve for the proper use of English language--it's just that it can fortify your arguments, instead of making yourself look foolish.

not at all... i just don't want to use personal examples regarding the topic
i could also go into how your 2nd to last example uses a fictitious character but i rather not get into that

Right... except no one asked you to used a personal example. I'm merely pointing out that you and him are not the same person and you can't use your own moral standards and your belief system to judge his actions.
My 2nd to last example? From that specific post? I wasn't aware it was an "example," I thought it was just my regurgitation of the guy's post. Unless you're talking about another post of mine entirely.
Anyway, I'll understand if you don't want to argue with me further, since I tend to continue beating a dead horse. Just agree to disagree (even though I don't think you know what your argument is). CE LA VIE!

ya ur beating a dead horse while wearing its blinders.

Once again, you're attacking the person rather than the argument--I'm guessing you don't debate much. *Sigh* And I'm sure you'll say something else equally wise after quoting my post, because it seems like you have the ridiculous urge to have the last word, even though I've already pretty much called truce because I don't want to ruin this thread even more--but you can't seem to agree to disagree. Awesome.
Listen girl, if you think making jokes of others that you don't even share with any common thing, just keep it to your self. Otherwise, some will simply tell you, you will see who is in the animal's kingdom...keep saying that!
WTF?! I'm the first one to vote for "I'm waiting for marriage."??? The world has changed I guess... I'm asian and it was our culture to wait until marriage.
Hope maybe try speaking in plain English with basic English words to express yourself.
I don't know if you do this deliberately but avoid excessive use of metaphors and the thesaurus. They only make the conversation more challenging to understand.
actually hope.. i don't think you know enough about the asian culture to say that the practice of waiting until marriage is not in our culture anymore.. in fact.. that is a very narrow minded statement.. demonstrating that you fail to consider the various ethnicity and their values that make up the asian population...
what is wrong with that statement? I am not here to explain simple metaphors for you...so make the effort of understanding it. Welcome to my world!
I would love to see what you would call 'culture' in the current Asian countries trying to adopt Western culture of Macdonald, clubbing and what have you... Isn't that a change for the better? LOL
Despite what you see from mainstream China (Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, etc.) a lot of the parts of the mainland are still fairly old fashioned, so I wouldn't generalize the westernization of China. I wouldn't doubt a lot of the traditional Asian cultures still exist.
people are complaining because no one here understands what you're writing.. maybe if you write in proper english.. a few of us wouldn't mind engaging in some verbal sparring with you.. but seeing how you don't seem to get this point.. whatever points/opinions you make are just gonna be disregarded until they become comprehensible..
it's completely fine if you don't want to explain yourself but don't complain about us being narrow minded/racist etc if we don't take you seriously.. we aren't here to decode what you need to say.. you need to make yourself understandable.. otherwise whatever you say will not be heard..
lastly.. i think all cultures assimilate to a certain extent.. you're making it sound like asians don't have a distinct culture when they most certainly do.. clubbing is a lifestyle.. not a culture..
If you were sleeping, just know that, it is not your culture any more....
Cultures may be preserved in festooned wraps, however, its manifestation entirely depends on how the players of a culture portray.
What is a festooned wrap? Literally speaking, you are saying that the culture is kept under wraps in some sort of celebratory garland. How this translates into a metaphor is beyond me.
Now move onto the manifestation of this "preserved culture" that you say is not actually preserved anymore. Firstly, preserved was a bad choice in wording. The culture is not preserved if, by your logic, it's changing and being replaced by sex/drug crazed teen culture. Secondly, the rest of it makes no fucking sense at all.
What does "depends on how the players of a culture portray" mean? I think that even you cannot answer that. What in the name of fuck are these "players" portraying?
First of all, I have no idea what "gaizz" is. Are you trying to use some sort of corrupt teenage slang? Secondly, I do not see why it was necessary to use all caps. Are you yelling at us? What were you constructing? A building?
Also, you have added two z's to the word guy. If you do not know, you are supposed to put an s there to pluralize the word.
By your proper use of English grammar, capitalization, and sentence structuring, I gather that you are interested in engaging yourself in a debate and would like your thoughts to be taken seriously.
However, it is quite paradoxical that you have mistakenly identified your post as a sarcasm. Not to mention using "/sarcasm" to imply anything that is not.
I guess I tend to leave it entirely up to the girl... if she wants to have sex on the first date, I probably wouldn't object, as long as I find her attractive.
Actually, I'm more inclined to wait longer if I like her more... if I actually like her, and see long term potential in her, then I might want to wait a bit and get to know her better before we turn things physical.

Then again, that only speaks for China.

You are linguistically retarded my friend.
