4. You don't seem to know anything about statistical methods.

Ok this argument is a stalemate. One side argues the researcher is obviously liberal, the other side argues he is not and has valid information. BUT as much as I support the concept of statistical data being reviewed without political bias, that is never the case when it comes to issues such as race, racism, ethnic population census, etc. If there is race percentage of anything involved things always get skewed into biased results. The researcher at any point could have specifically collected data from specific personality types of each race, specifically living in certain conditions, etc. There is always a way to obscure statistical data.
The Asian tag line is so broad it is hard to say which is right and which is wrong with them. Korean women that I know wanted an American to get citizenship, Chinese women I know don't care for marriage but are interested in foreigners, the Japanese girls I know are just weird and don't care what a guy is just as long as he isn't black *same as the Chinese I know*. The only ones I know that are dead set on finding an American and refuse their own people are the Filipino girls I know in Korea, and the 3 I know in LA. Vietnamese ex girlfriend of mine was ok white guys and Vietnamese, but said no other Asians or blacks. Seems to be a trend, Asians don't care for blacks. Chinese in fact don't even like to be tanned because they feel they are black at that point."The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the Blood of Patriots and tyrants" Thomas Jefferson

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

Several examples of the reasoning are that Christians might be considered guilty of “hate crimes” when talking about homosexuality, or the Muslim jihadist. For example, Geert Wilders, parliamentarian, is being prosecuted for “hate speech” in the Netherlands for his film “Fitna”, which exposes the Islamic mentality. Others fear that their 2nd Amendment rights will be taken away. Others may object to their tax money being used to fund abortions. Some may be medical personnel who would be forced to perform abortions under the new law, and, who may object to abortions.
Talking about homosexuality or so-called "Muslim jihadist" is NOT a hate crime. A hate crime is domestic terrorism: i.e., you kill, beat, or rape a member of a minority group in order to spread fear and terror thoughout that minority group.
"Others fear that there 2nd Amendment rights will be taken away." Why?? Obama has publically stated he supports 2nd Amendment rights. These people fear they will lose these rights because of the "BIG LIE." Talk-radio hosts and other right-wing idealogs repeat over and over and over again that Obama is targetting the 2nd Amendment, and they say it so much that listeners finally begin to believe it's true.
"Others may object to their tax money being used to fund abortions." So? I object to my tax money being used to fund capital punishment. But guess what -- this is a friggin' democracy where the majority rules. The majority says we should have capital punishment, but I don't get a veto. The majority says there shall be abortions, individuals don't get a veto. Go back and review Civics 1.
"Some may be medical personnel who would be forced to perform abortions under the new law, and, who may object to abortions." ...in the rarest of circumstances: where the need is critical and immediate and where no one else is available to do it.
I get so tired of these Chicken Littles, running in circles, screeching that the sky is falling. If they'd use their brains instead of hitting the Panic Button, the world would be a quieter place.

Zkrib, he says he supports the 2nd Amendment, but the trend remains the same. Democrats have pushed for more and stranger gun laws that put the choke on the 2nd Amendment. I got a buddy on the east coast who works in a gun shop and he says they have lost incredible amounts of business because bullet prices went up. And with the recession on people can't afford to go shooting anymore. So you've got people feeling threatened because laws force restrictions on them that they believe are unconstitutional.
Theres the kicker about politics. What the right says the left says is a lie, and visa versa with what the right says about the left. So it both sides are lying, what's the real truth? What you can feel. And what people feel is what is actually going on for them."The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the Blood of Patriots and tyrants" Thomas Jefferson

No one is pushing to ban your gun which you probably don't even own since you're in China, Zak. You're living in a fantasy world so shut your pie hole, keep diddling those underage Chinese girls like the bastard you are, and stop whining about things which will never happen.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

Oerdin, just because I live and work here doesn't mean I don't own a few guns. I do have assets in the US still. I do have family still too. My brother has my guns. (4 semi auto pistols, 2 revolvers, 3 bolt action rifles, and 2 shotguns)

Naw, I did my tours in Asia (Japan, Korea, Thailand) and got it all out of my system plus I live with a really great girlfriend. But that is all an aside.
The fact is no one is coming for your arsenal of penis enlargers so stop pretending they are and please get some common sense. Thank you.
BTW my experience is that most, I say most not all but I'm very certain you fall into this, of the people who go to Asia to teach English are damn odd losers. It's like they can't function in Western society and are at the bottom of the social order so they desperately hope they can go to Asia where people might not recognize what bizarre losers they are. Most of these guys couldn't get a decent white chick to save their lives so they go to Asia where they hope to get an Asian chick who wouldn't give them the time of day back home... Oddly this works though most of the time if they take them back to the big PX the girls figure out they're with losers and ditch them. I'd say this is true for about 3 out of 4 people who opt to teach English in east Asia.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

Boshko even posted links here about how socially maladjusted his fellow English teachers were. He was the first one to admit most of them were bizarre loser freaks who couldn't function in normal society and so fled to another continent hoping people wouldn't make fun of them there.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.
