Do you mean exception*S*? Macharius Send a noteboard - 02/02/2012 04:27:03 AM
First-worlders in general, and white folks in particular, have an Opinion on Everything. Which by itself is inoffensive if somewhat obnoxious, but the problem is that once they have an Opinion on Something–human rights in China, say, or the prostitution and sex tourism in Thailand–they will make that opinion very loud, very heard, and probably publish several books about it.


Just an observation, but making that kind of generalization coupled with gross exaggeration seems hypocritical in the face of having an entire blog site and twitter account used expressly for the airing of one's own opinions.

She has some points, of course. - 29/01/2012 02:25:32 PM 1423 Views
Quite a few points - 29/01/2012 02:40:45 PM 1529 Views

Mostly agreed with the article, but thought she undermined herself with her own racism. - 29/01/2012 02:50:11 PM 1486 Views
I wish I could agree with you, but I can't in full - 29/01/2012 02:58:05 PM 1500 Views
I'm not bothered by the tone. Annoyance is justified. - 29/01/2012 03:03:07 PM 1428 Views

Do you really believe that? - 30/01/2012 02:44:19 PM 1492 Views
Just read your Twitter convo... nice try, but looks like wasted effort. *NM* - 29/01/2012 10:37:08 PM 659 Views

Well, I'll be honest. - 29/01/2012 10:34:46 PM 1353 Views
Let me try to summarize some of her points with the invective filtered out, then. - 29/01/2012 10:48:24 PM 1556 Views
Thank you. - 29/01/2012 11:10:13 PM 1584 Views
What the hell, might as well go and play devil's advocate, right? - 30/01/2012 04:50:30 PM 1497 Views
I expected that. - 30/01/2012 05:39:59 PM 1391 Views
Of course you did. I'm predictable that way. - 30/01/2012 10:28:10 PM 1414 Views

I <3 you, but there are several very key things we are not going to agree on. - 31/01/2012 10:02:22 PM 1738 Views
Oh. - 31/01/2012 11:07:52 PM 1386 Views

Hmm? - 31/01/2012 10:10:22 PM 1324 Views
Yeah. I got to reading Encyclopedia of Arda just now, and it told me the same thing. - 31/01/2012 10:35:54 PM 1225 Views
As a sort of group answer (I've been mostly absent from forums the past two days) - 31/01/2012 10:45:55 PM 1583 Views
I don't mind if you tell me I'm out of line here, but - 31/01/2012 11:55:04 PM 1427 Views
I'm rarely ever offended - 01/02/2012 01:54:58 AM 1648 Views
She was referring specifically to the Twitter "conversation" I had with the blogger. - 01/02/2012 09:05:28 AM 1394 Views
Yes. - 01/02/2012 10:47:22 AM 1567 Views
It makes me wonder what she thinks is happening in Zimbabwe, for example. - 01/02/2012 11:13:11 AM 1564 Views
I've been thinking about that. - 01/02/2012 11:29:18 AM 1352 Views

The tone of the article is massively annoying - 30/01/2012 06:45:19 AM 1512 Views
