New virus from shithole China

[Black Orchid]

Thats why they put a monkey on their earth orbiter, they knew a chink wasn't going to be able to land it back on earth,,,

If they are so smart I wonder why have have to continually try to steal the intellectual property of others (mainly the US) and even then they don't get it right.

They aren't any smarter. They are just trained to study hard from an early age. I kept up with them in college, but they had been studying hard since high school. I had to bust my bottom to stay up because I was immature in high school, but I did it. I've forgotten much of it now, but I did get through Calculus 3, Differential Equations, Statics, Dynamics, Physics, Chemistry, Quantum Physics, and my major related classes. I even tutored my oldest through Physics, Calculus 1, and after that I just double checked his Algebra for mistakes in Calculus 2 and 3. I do field services for several Japanese and Korean companies. If Americans were that slow, they would provide technicians before hiring Americans. We still get a better education and that's why they send their students here for college. (Probably the same down under)

Asian culture encourages studying long and hard from an early age. The white kids and hispanic kids are encouraged to study, but they are encouraged to be in team sports and there is some merit in that.

Immigrant hispanic kids start learning behind everyone else. They must learn our language before they can study hard. Often their parents never bother to learn English and they use their kids as interpreters. These kids don't get much help from their parents.

More Black kids come from broken homes. Parenting is lacking in general. (There are exceptions as always.) Black kids are more likely to see sports as their only option for advancement. They dominate professional sports because that's what they were raised to do. To some blacks, studying hard is yielding to non-black culture and shunned. (idiots)

These are all generalizations and I can name personal exceptions for all of them.

I have a story from a primary school teacher.
A little Chinese girl joined the class at about the age of 7 or 8 at the start of the school year.
The teacher was shocked when she saw that the kid didn't speak a word of English.
To cut a long story short -
the little Chinese girl was - at the end of the school year -
the top of the class in every subject.

You know even without the coronavirus, China is definitely NOT on my bucket list and never will be. No Asian countries are to be honest.

Cheap and hot. Not my thing.

I had a stopover in Singapore once. Will make sure that NEVER happens again!

Yes if you go to hospital in Australia the chances are
that any specialist you see is a person of Chinese descent.
They are very good at the most difficult professions.
The Chinese are more intelligent than us - on average.

They are not "more intelligent", Bobby. They just work and study harder than most Australians. That is why they excel at University.

No - I remember my university days -
the Chinese were always getting better marks than me and just
about everyone else.
I used to ask some of them to help me with difficult maths problems and
they would laugh as they showed me because for them, it was so easy.
How humiliating.
They are definitely very clever people.

Could have been your attitude towards them, Bobby that drove them to act that way. I know it would me.

In reality, Chinese people come from a culture which drives it's kids hard to study hard and excel in their studies. Compare that to Australia where the kids are not made to study and not expected to excel. If you had studied as hard as they had, perhaps you wouldn't have needed their help, Bobby.

Not all of Asia is "cheap and hot", Black Orchid. Most of China isn't. Japan isn't. India isn't. Tibet isn't.

Then by all means go yourself. I have no desire to go to China, India or Tibet. Maybe Japan but there are other places I would prefer to see first.

Thats your choice, Black Orchid, however to make it on the basis of weather or "cheapness" is silly IMO.

I will make my travel choices anyway I like thank you very much. Weather being a major consideration.

Another thread degenerates into nothingness due to the resident moron choosing to dump on BO and Bobby
over petty issues which the moron wants to argue about....notice nothing constructive from him about the virus..
just trolling crap centred on a throw away line by BO about the weather in China and Bobbys opinion about the
intellect of Chinese students.....
Seriously, when is this troll going to be banned....he offers nothing constructive, just craps on in his usual
supercilious manner over a few words which he seizes upon.... to disagree with.....
The only comment he has ever made about the virus is that because his sister is a scientist, and she says its not
a bioweapon...its not a bio weapon....the rest of his posts on this thread are just argumentative crap....

Stop making excuses for dumb Aussies.
The Chinese were way ahead of nearly all Aussies.
