This whole sorry business is just stinking racist trash, whether you ascribe to positive or negative discrimination, it just displays a completely blinkered approach to probably everything you do.
If you marry a moron, you will live with a moron (male or female) irrespective of where they are born.
I imagine you are just useless in the courting procedu ...[text shortened]... r to my statement on morons (are you enforcing your cultural difference on some other culture?).
What a party pooper.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieThis right here ^^ this is about your wife, not the stuff you wrote earlier. This changes my mind about your comments. Perhaps you got generalforaitis earlier, everyone get's it. She's not weak or subdued she sounds very strong. Good for you marrying such a woman. Western woman are just as strong, though. I expect you know that really.
Do i think she was encouraged to follow her dreams, you mean like growing up in her culture. Well she was so poor that she spent the formative years of her life trying to survive. When i mean poor, i mean, dirt poor, washing clothes in a river on a large stone, trying to find firewood to cook with etc. When her father went to Dubai, he managed to ...[text shortened]... m, doesn't matter whose they are, mine or a friends, she just loves looking after the children.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieAhhh right, your one of those "You can't insult me" types, but it is OK for you to be insulting with racist misogynist, light entertainment remarks?
Hows what for an edit? Ok i see it now, try someone else, i rarely find personal insults either appealing nor reflective of a reasoning mind. Cant think why i dont warm to personal insults? Strange that. . . .
If you didn't want insulting, you wouldn't have started the thread, no?
Or am I missing the point, perhaps you were trying to influence us with your majestic understanding of humanity?

Originally posted by WoodgieYou have read the entire thread and you are still unaware of what its about? If it strikes you as misogynistic, racist, dont you think that that is perhaps more a reflection of you, rather than the thread. Again you stated that it was not meant to be taken as tongue in cheek, which is more a reflection of cynicism than the thread itself. To others, it seemed to be nothing more than an opportunity to look at cultural differences and how they have a bearing on marital relationships, to others yet, it was simply an opportunity to make some fun and have a laugh. Why should anyone try to influence you, you are a free moral agent, are you not? It to you it appeared to be racist and misogynistic, then who am i to tell you how to evaluate these things with your own mind?

Originally posted by WoodgieApparently robbie feels entitled to make these remarks and make sweeping generalizations about women because his "Punjabi girl" gives him a massage every day.

Originally posted by FMFWow that's bitter, are you saying that a massage is not an important way for a couple to spend some quiet moments of gentle chat and intimacy together, that it would not be conducive to strengthening a relationship? That its an integral part of eastern culture and worthy of extolling the virtues of? No, well well, not that of course i need to justify my remarks, they have been made, you may evaluate them as you wish, i deny nothing.

Whether I am right or wrong is for others to decide, they have read your offering and mine.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieThat is exactly what I am doing. I am evaluating your comments, private revelations and assertions, made on this public forum. Presumably you sought reactions from people seeing as you chose to start a thread. Your remarks about women from the "East" and "West" remind me of the kinds of things many proudly chauvinist Muslim men here in Indonesia say about their "girls" as they scoff about emancipation and peddle ignorant generalizations. Just saying. This seemed the right thread to say it, that's all.
No, well well, not that of course i need to justify my remarks, they have been made, you may evaluate them as you wish, i deny nothing.
Originally posted by Woodgiei dont keep a list, its an internet forum, as far as i can gauge you have contributed nothing but personal remarks and unsubstantiated opinions, more reflective of you than of me, but if that's what rocks your socks, then so be it. Just one point, though, such categorising persons as types, to fit them neatly into ones preconceived ideas, as you just did to me, what does that suggest to you, an open mind, or one geared to prejudice, just a thought, try not to take it personally.
