RE: Valerie

yes it shows only one side. one billionth part of truth. (and i still think it's (duh) propaganda and that you're being swayed i mean there are so many *sob sob* stories and they only choose to expose this)
you know, from having the only exciting thing of the year to be a calendar (mind you, it's coloured too) to building an empire on cow feed, you shouldn't just look at how he spends. can you imagine what he had to go through........ i can't.
and like i said, i'm sure such pple don't just exist in china.....yes it's quite..shameful....
but have you see foreign businessmen in china? i can tell you they do just the same. and you know who are the worst ones? apart from pple from hongkong and taiwanese, SINGAPOREANS contribute to a large proportion.
not only businessmen actually, tourists even.
you should see the looks in their eyes, the "it's so obvious i'm superior and you're inferior, just because i'm from singapore/hongkong/taiwan and you're all no good mainlanders whose ancestors didn't dare migrate to little islands in boats and just because my money's worth more than yours"
*puff*
you get what i mean.
and the equally disgusting thing is, all the saleswomen have this glimmer in their eyes that go "ahhh you're from singapore/hongkong/taiwan you're superior i'm inferior i'd better treat you right" while on the other hand, "you lousy #$!#!@$# you shouldn't be in this shop we're too good for you i bet you don't have enough $$$"
and you know, sometimes i really feel ashamed looking at some singaporeans, to think that we have the same roots? but then again...i just comfort myself, i just....lie to myself and say, they're from southern china. we're different. unfortunately..that's pretty....really....very...sad.

i hate people.

p.s. regarding the capitalism vs communism giving rise (to the show of....vanity....) remember push and pull factors.
if capitalism never came along, pple wouldn't know about profit making, greed, the-more-the-better, but then again, if communism was never implemented, i guess the contrast wouldn't be so extreme and stark (which means strong in german btw....=)
