XI...XI...XI...FOR GOD'S SAKE, GIVE ME A BREAK ALREADY! WHEN REFERRING TO MY AGE, YOUR PATRONIZING MANNER, ASIDE OF LACKING DIGNITY, BESPEAKS OF YOUR IGNORANCE IN RECOGNIZING THAT MY COMPLAINT AGAINST A SCHOOL REPRESENTS MERELY ONE CASE OF MANY POSTED ON EVERY TEACHERS FORUM BOARD THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN! FOR AN INDIVIDUAL AS INTELLIGENT AND WORLDLY AS YOU WOULD HAVE EVERYONE ACCEPT, FOR THE LIFE OF ME, I CANNOT COMPREHEND YOUR STEADFAST RESISTANCE IN ADMITTING THAT THERE ARE MOST CERTAINLY DEEP-SEATED PROBLEMS IN THE CHINESE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM ... ESPECIALLY WHEN IT RELATES TO "THE CARE AND MAINTENANCE" OF FOREIGN TEACHERS. IF IT WERE AS ROSY AS YOU WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE, WHY THEN ARE THERE SO MANY OF US BLOODY FOREIGNERS PACKING OUR BAGS AND LIGHTING OUT FOR GREENER PASTURES? AGAIN, I AM NOT INFERRING THAT ALL EMPLOYMENT SITUATIONS IN CHINA ARE AS INCORRIGIBLE AS MY SAD EXPERIENCE WOULD INDICATE. HOWEVER, SOMETHING MUST BE DONE BY THE RIGHT PARTIES IN GOVERNMENT TO CONTROL ALL ESL SOURCES ...
SCHOOLS AND AGENCIES ALIKE.

ANOTHER IDIOTIC COMMENT! SUCH ARROGANCE! IT'S ONE THING TO BE PATRIOTIC TO ONE'S COUNTRY, BUT THIS ... THIS ... WHAT'S THE @!%*& USE?

BELIEVE ME, I WISH THAT I COULD DO SOMETHING TO HELP THE HOMELESS AND WORKING IMPOVERISHED OF THIS CITY, AND I'LL ADMIT THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WHICH MUST BE ADDRESSED AND RESOLVED BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. YOU SEE, I'M NOT HIDING THE FACT THAT WE, TOO, HAVE SERIOUS PROBLEMS. AND, AS FOR MY PERSONALLY DOING SOMETHING TO HELP THE SITUATION, NOT HAVING BEEN ELECTED TO PUBLIC OFFICE, I PLAN TO DO THE NEXT BEST THING: VOTE FOR THE RIGHT CANDIDATE IN NOVEMBER!

OOOOOWWWWW! YOU'RE DEFINITELY CRUISIN' FOR A BRUISIN'!

WELL, MY DEAR FRIEND XI, I HAVE STATED MY OPINION, AND THE CONSTITUTION OF THIS COUNTRY ALLOWS ME AT LEAST THAT PRIVILEGE. NOW, IF YOU FIND THE REALITY OF IT MUCH TOO STRENUOUS TO BEAR, THEN I MIGHT SUGGEST SOME PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELING ... OR ... YOU CAN ALWAYS KISS MY OVERSIZED DERRIERE!

CHEERS.
