I have gotten into a weird argument last month with another intern in UAE. I guess we somehow got into both of our nerves. The result, he started insulting me on how white-washed I am and how I shouldn't call myself an Asian. And 2 months ago, I went to this Taiwanese gather up party with my Taiwanese friend (I'm from the mainland China), and some people didn't really like my heritage.

These events made me realize that some things about my past, or anyone's past should be hidden sometimes. Not all the people in the world can be open to some of things in your past. Foe example, I'm born in China, but I have spent 11 years of my childhood in Japan, thus I more native to Japan than I am native to China. In addition, I also do not speak Mandarin, I can only understand 60% to 70% of what people say in Mandarin. Whenever someone asks me where I'm from, I don't hesitate and just say I was born in China, raised in Japan. However, this information can actually disturb people from China and Japan equally. Since China and Japan never really had a nice relationship with each other, sometimes I'm torn between the 2 heritages that I represent. When I'm talking with some Chinese or Korean people, sometimes I have to hide the Japan part of my heritage. And when I talking to Japanese people, I have to hide the Chinese part of my heritage. It kind of sucks, but the world hasn't really healed from the wars that happened over the centuries.

Overall, I really learned that I can offend a person so much just by telling where I grew up. It totally sucks to keep a secret or make lies to certain people.

o.o oh my god that description of him... I haven't heard of an actually crazier person in a long time...

A man, with torn out bible pages pinned to his chest, armed with a patu, which is a Maori weapon that looks like a short, wide bat, screaming incomprehensible things about abominations, and smashing things...

AND he destroyed $100 worth of strawberries...

I was going to add a reply to the other threads on this, but they are already closed.

So the author of Enders Game is a huge homophobe. He preaches and practices anti-gay bigotry.

I was wanting to see this movie, but upon reading many of the online articles about this jerk, I wont be seeing it.

One article claims he wont be making money off the ticket sales. Boohoo....he was paid upfront, millions of dollars, by the movie company because they knew this would happen. And just in case they didnt make enough money on it, they paid this jerk up front. So he's already made his millions, regardless of what ticket sales are. He will also make a percentage of movie income from other movie sections. He will also make a killing off of merchandising, higher book sales, and further book sales from future additions.

Do you spend money on things like this, that knowingly support homophobes and bigots?

I know plenty of guys crush on him just as so many girls do...heck, even I understand the crush on him (he's sweet & easygoing, I like that in anyone, and has a cuteness that is more down to earth & natural rather than over the top glamorous, hope that's understood as I intend it to be).

"Maybe I could say right now I’m 100% straight. But who knows? In a fucking year, I could meet a guy and be like, Whoa, I’m attracted to this person. I’ve met guys all the time that I’m like, Damn, that’s a good-looking guy, you know? I’ve never been, like, Oh, I want to kiss that guy. I really love women. But I think defining yourself as 100% anything is kind of near-sighted and close-minded."

He's been a friend to the gay community for awhile now, btw.

What are some good movies for Halloween?

Do you like scifi? Horror?
Gross horror? Bloody horror?
Creepy? Psychological?


Personally, my fav are the psychological horror movies....notably the "Saw" series.
Really like those.

A short Italian gay film gives us its own answers. It's subtitled.

This has got to be the most hilarious movie review I ever read (note that it's 4 pages, without reading it again I'll say that the 3rd page on the music video was, IIRC, the best IMO):

After reading it I HAD to see it just to see if it could REALLY be that bad on such an epic scale (it was, yet hilarious, though I laughed AT more than with), and having seen a couple of Harry Potter movies by then it was interesting to see this possible inspiration for Hogwarts. It was also interesting to see Balk as a seemingly innocent child playing a witch (to contrast with her playing a wicked witch 10 years later in The Craft).
