with their own kind; for some reason this bothers me and over 12 years at my university there was no difference. Why the fuck do they come here if their goal is to improve their English, become better aquainted with Western culture, etc.? No, all they do is hang out with other Japanese and Chinese people and then complain that they speak too much Japanese or Chinese; duh. If I were in China or Japan I would have to bend to their rules and they don't realise how fucking lucky they are here...Westerners have 10x worse in their countries.
I feel like I am living in Asia again in the middle of the UK. Anyway, rant over.

were did you live in Asia?

South Korea.
I just compare them to the Brazilian guy in the same house; he's super eager to learn English, makes an effort, tries to talk.
The Asians here are wasting their money. They aren't here to work, they are here to study and learn. They have the time and should use it to learn English.

I'm an American and I'm living in Shenzhen, China right now. That's very southeast mainland China.
It's a lot easier hanging out around other native speakers of English. For one, you just have someone you can casually talk to. For another, if one speaks pretty good Chinese, you always have a translator there with you.
I fall into the same trap as well. I am trying to learn Chinese.
You speak any Korean?

Yeah, I can get by; however I was working a lot and didn't have much time; the difference is; they come here to study...English and they don't even try.

BS....There are plenty of Brazilians here in FL who don't speak/don't want to learn English. The number on non-english speaking Mexicans is staggering.
Sounds like you have developed your own prejudices from your experiences in the east. If we could somehow channel your rage towards the border jumpers, we could use a guy like you in TX on the borders you sound like you'd be quite the minute man.

In the UK Asian = Indian not Chinese and Japanese.

Dude, I am talking about people who come to study the language at university level, not border running immigrants who are uneducated and will never go to university.
The Brasilian guy is going to get an MA and wants to improve, really wants to; the Asians just seem to come here to say they have come here with little to prove for it.

On my block, Chinese and Japanese...

So you don't know any asians who really want to learn English? I have met several Spanish and Portuguese students who have no will to learn english. They just want their University of Florida degree so they can take it back to their country. Oh well to each their own. Do you want to police the world? Make everyone speak English? Can you make my neighbor stop leaving his garbage cans on the street for two days after the garbage men have already come?

No, I don't, but I have to share the kitchen with her, among other things and she talks shit about us gaijin behind our backs. Sure, you are right; they probably just want a degree from a decent UK uni and head back to their countries so they can brag. If I went to Japan to study Japanese or China tp study Chinese I would put my heart into it.

Agreed, but you can't hold others to your standards. If I was still doing that I'd probably have burned a church down by now. Being in the military and traveling to several countries in my younger days has changed my opinions.
BTW.... Not hating, Your opening rant sounds like me after having to drive through "that" part of town. Just a little devils advocate.
-
isn't USA one of the few countrys that don't have an official language? i thought i heard that somewhere......you guys should do something about it :-\

Word and no worries; constructive criticism and discussion is always welcome...
Totally unrelated; I think I just drank way too much coffee and am having cramps in my chest...I just wanted to force a dump to come out too.... :-\
I think I should avoid coffee in the future for the sake of the ticker...what do you think?
-
You should also avoid posting on this board because you're a moron.
What a dolt.

He who bears such a name as yours has no business calling anyone a dolt. ::)

I would say avoid it, but I'm dating a girl that works at a Starbucks. I'm practically force fed that stuff.

When I was younger I didn't worry much but now that I am past thirty I try to avoid it; it is just so good for taking dumps.

I hear ya, I'm 32. However if I need to take a dump, fast food works for me. It comes out looking like Indian food. ;D

Hey Decide are you studying in the UK?
If so which University do you attend and what course are you currently on?
Just curious.
-
Nips don't bother me, they stay in their dry cleaners and grocery stores and don't go where good honest Americans hang out for the most part. Now those Dunecoons are another story, they have the gall to actually walk into bar filled with honest Americans :o If they would just stick to pumping our gas(and stop plotting to kill us) everything would be fine, but I don't like to have to look at terrorists during my social time.

Hi,Deicide
Will you come to here Taiwan?
-
they are here with us to clean our asses with their tongues and cook.
-
well, at any given university in the us, there are usually many students from china, south korea, and india. at my university, just these three nationalities account for more than 50 percent of all international students. they are usually pretty well organized, have their own student associations, etc, so it is hard not to speak one's native tongue. on the other hand, if you come from iceland or lithuania, you have no choice but to speak english so you tend to improve it more.
another thing is the field of study. i know international students who, for example, study computer science or mathematics where there is no need to "talk" much. for five years it is sufficient to say "let x be any real number.... then it follows...." and write a proof on the board. students from those departments tend to suck at english, no matter what nationality.

Very true. I met some Chinese engineers the other day; I couldn't understand a fucking word they said.

Hey Deicide, you ever been to the US?
I was wondering if the UK was like the US in that it has a bunch of idiot voters.
In America, the 'stupid vote' is definitely available. The Republicans get it every election. You have probably noticed on these boards that there are Americans who think Iraq was behind 9/11, Obama is a secret Muslim, etc. etc.
I was wondering if there was a large contigent of stupid people like that in the UK. I would say they make up 15-20% of the voters in the US. Unfortunately, they decide elections.
-
the more asian women the better
-
Speak english or get out. The worst thing about these people as they expect the local crowd to learn their lingo, which only creates dislike. Now if they had just learned english in the first place..

They want to learn English and get an American university degree - preferably Ivy League - exclusively for professional reasons. They have no interest in American culture or Americans, for that matter.
