Exactly, why is it some say it is a kind of affection, but all seem embarrassed when someone yells it. I have been in China for over seven years, but I can not understand why people have to say it the way they do!? Seven years ago I never heard it said, it only seems like the last couple of years. I'm very confused, ... Full Comment>>

Hi, What I can't understand is why someone will call out the word Laowai (say, when you walk into a shop)and everyone else hangs their head down as if they are embarrassed.Worst of all some students say it when you aren't looking directly at them Fine to say (maybe) "Laowai hello!". Why not say ... Full Comment>>

I looked at the video, it seems to speed up, also I am not sure about the X-rays, if the woman had a broken collar bone she would not be talking with the Doctor like she is. I am not defending no one here. I recently had an experience where I offered some compensation for the person, and all of a sudden they wanted ... Full Comment>>

If people weren't so impatient and just take some time to consider the situation than accidents can be avoided!! Full Comment>>

Why is it a pointless story Mr/ Ms? This story can help many people understand what they think about their future in education. I think it is great thing for him to make up his own mind and be able to measure what he thinks is right and wrong for his future. Maybe he will change his mind, but that is up to him!

People have not learnt anything from past experience at all, if anything they just do what they want to do, and expect medicine to fix their problems Full Comment>>

Okay Bornok, I made a mistake, but you can't edit your replies on this forum. All I was trying to say is that "was and were" are similar when you use them to "is and are". I wasn't ripping anyone off at all about their use of words English, and for that matter, all languages change with time!! ... Full Comment>>

Sorry I made a bad grammar mistake was and were ....how do you use it Full Comment>>

You asked for help to explain it, have a think about using "they" in singular form... My friend said the world is square, they don't understand it is round! What do you think now? Crimo? What about "was and were" how do use this? Sorry if you can't keep up, but english grammar can be difficult ... Full Comment>>

Have look at the latest news from India..the Government has said that all schools have to have toilets and clean drinking water...40% don't I've never been to India, but the stories don't sound so good for one's health Full Comment>>

"Is" would be correct because there is only one rule applied to the "Ts"..that is "Don't Talk" is the unwritten and probably written rule. Therefore "is", is refering to the rule (singular) if "are" is used, then rule would be "Rules" (plural)... So you can ... Full Comment>>

Tim can you point out my mistakes? maybe my spelling and grammar is from a different era or a country other than yours. I didn't think I offered answers, just my opinion, I really try to keep up with change, am I suppose to write academically?...which would be pointless with this forum anyway P.S sorry about any ...

I am not generalising about americans, just talking about the way everything in america is controlled by money. You guys probably don't understand, american politics and idology and how it is controlled by the almighty dollar. I can't quite understand why I have a selective memory or why my honesty is questioned...I ... Full Comment>>

Well if you read what I wrote, I was only refering to the article which is about education...but Rain has to put words into my mouth and crap into everyones ears. Just typical of you young american guys, yes you will rule the world...in your dreams Full Comment>>

Thankyou for your stupid red thumbs, you can't educate Americans because they are always right!! Yeah sure! Full Comment>>

How true, it shows how stupid the US is, the western countries who took up their stupid education model and are now paying for it with illiterate and bigoted young people who think they know everything. Yes you say, they can think, but, can they listen not likely, respect that is just a complete joke!! Come on you ... Full Comment>>

Well you guys you are so smart, but some bad news, I am not comparing anything about Australia to China, and I am not the person who you elude too. That's what happens when you don't really understand the debate (argument) Can you Daisy and Rain enlighten us all about your thoughts, without attacking people who post? Full Comment>>

Daisy, how old are you? Can you have a conversation, you seem to have come to some conclusion with mine, but you aren't capable of addressing your concerns! Full Comment>>

You worry about freedom in China, live in Australia and taste it's so called freedom, do you think we can question the Government or the quasi Governments that have been put in place?? No you can't because if you do, you are out!! full stop! Litigation, right, yeah, everyone gets to eat the cake (except for the ... Full Comment>>

Some of you people that reply here are just so niave, you think a negative comment comes from a Chinese person!

What do you expect, education is a business that feeds on itself> Who's to say doing a 15 week course is not worthy of a post grad degree or whatever! The great Universities are no longer great ( in the west) course work is the norm, lecturers expect you to copy them, thinking outside their box is a no no! All it ... Full Comment>>

What sort of answers do expect of the generation that has been told that they are right to question? They wouldn't know squat, their coin has one side, so their thoughts are really rubbish brought about by their socialistic education system, yes you western Chomskys!!, I am talking about you!! stupid morons who have ...
