Does Your Country Subsidize its Shipbuilding?

[Q Classic]

South Korea's shipbuilding practices have been under a lot of scrutiny over the past few years.

...your point being? It's not just the shipbuilding industry, y'know.

There is a difference between criticizing the actions of a country and insulting an entire race. You can call BS on his claims, but to call him a racist for it is just ridiculous and wrong.

I have called BS on his claims. That's not what I'm shmearing him on.

I'm dropping the r-bomb on the simple fact that for some reason, my defense and questioning his statements is suspect on account of "Stockholm Syndrome". Ignoring the fact that it hardly applies here, since as far as I can tell, the Koreans have never held me captive.

Does my use of the r-bomb here really apply? No. I'll admit that. But I suggest you go look over the earlier statements, where I quite clearly state I'm not posting with any semblance of authority, with any true intention of winning the argument.

Right, never mind. Tone's impossible to determine in these threads.

It just seems that you've been playing this card a bit lately only somewhat more subtly until now.

Oh please. I haven't been playing the card subtly at all. I've been pimping it out like a little Thai girl.

But indeed, if you really have been paying such close attention to my posts as of late, I'm surprised you haven't picked up on another trend in every single one of my posts... one that should explain these just fine.

Incidentally, DaShi...

Who died and made you forum Nazi?

I guess I just sympathize.

You may want to rethink the juxtaposition of that line with the quote.

Oh, any I've yet to see a single good Eurovision entry since Germany's Dschinghis Khan.

People cry racism way too easy these days.

[Q Classic]

Yes, Lancer, they do. A silly thing to cry, I'll admit. All of us, after all, are human (except for those Croats).

But crying "nationalism" doesn't have the same ring. Nor does "ethnicism".

MRT, I don't get paid. Niether does she, nor do you. It's about love and happiness. If you want these things...

[Lancer]

Q, where have you been all my life.

of course i want them, i just cant see how that love part is possible with someone from overseas who cant relate to me and vice versa. or who can tolerate my shortcomings (which there are many).

Why couldn't a filipina relate to you? Why could you relate to a filipina?

Guys minds are like great traps that prevent them from finding what they need...what they want.

lets just call this plan b lancer.

[Lancer]

Yes

I listen to more guys crying the blues as they express their interest in something besides what burned them. Such stories do not usually come from 22 year olds...

Hope you avoid such a fate.

Regarding subsidies, the US doesn't build many/any non-military ships. Our navy is very expensive, so I'm sure there's lots of subsidies in there. But for the commercial stuff, we've decided to gorge ourselves as everyone else falls over themselves to lose money in the shipbuilding biz.

Since Naval Shipyard no longer build ships, no they are not subsidize..

But that is what this thread is about.

But he is taking this thread seriously. You're the one who started insulting his country. Perhaps jokingly, but they were rather blunt. He makes one comment about those 'jokes' and you cry racist. You argue that Korea is superior than Croatia (in this regard) by "talking out of your ass" and don't expect people to react to it?

So while you're casually throwing around BS, other people are trying to have a serious discussion. It's all harmless enough, if you weren't calling people racist for reacting to your remarks.

Oh please. I haven't been playing the card subtly at all. I've been pimping it out like a little Thai girl.

Sorry, I was trying to be diplomatic.

No, I don't pay that much attention to your posts. But enough to have noticed a trend. Until now, I only chalked it up to an impression that could possibly be wrong.
