I tend to agree, but I post for much more important reasons and that is to say that Crash = very poor film 
I was bitterly dissapointed with that one, with the exception of Matt Dillon.

I found it so funny. And I thought it was pretty smart how the stories all meshed together.

I really like films where stories come together in that way and that was done well but I didn't enjoy some of the characters and there were a few too many stories, a few less shown in bit more detail would have been better.
The biggest thing for me that was that it didn't make sense, so many of the characters were the cause of their own problems by playing into stereotypes and judging people before they even spoke or acted, I get the point was to show that and what can happen but because they didn't follow through with so many of the characters it wasn't storytelling but more like snapshots of peoples lives and every single one was death, abuse or simple cruelness.
The reason I liked Matt Dillon in the film was because his charater was explored the most and he was shown learning something and changing as the film went on, most others weren't shown in so much detail and it seemed kind of pointless, definetly a film where I'd say less is more.

well, I never!!!!
hmmm...perhaps you have a point...I'm very sensitive to racial issues because I'm just that...sensitive...and I don't want any one's feelings to get hurt, that's all...I thought you were being nasty to her...didn't know you were friends...
Don't you guys have racism where you live? (I'm serious...I'm curious about you and your culture, place where you live, etc...)
I've been discriminated against for being Salvadorean, and I've been discriminated against because I look Caucasian...In my country, El Salvador, it was more of a "class" issue...if you had money, you were alright (unless you were dark skinned...stupid, but true), if you had no money, you were and still are considered less of a human being...
don't haaaaate, Sharp...don't haaaaate...
can u jump, Sharp???? (hee heeee....)
There's always people, who will argue against the plain facts you present. In fact the ones who disagree, are usually pricked in their conscience that they are or may be one of the ones you are talking about. They then feel the need to retort " but not all of them ", as if the rules of generalisation and even exaggeration, are to be taken seriously and as literal fact. For those of you who can speak english - when a person generalises using the wonderful colour of our english language, it is normally well understood that they don't literally mean 100%, and that there are exceptions to the rule.

HI, I am asian and married to a wonderful man. I am blessed to have him in my life. I can only speak for myself about this thread.
Being brought by christian values, as child I was brought up with strong beliefs with christian family and I just praise God for
that, I appreciate life more, thankful for all my blessings and even if I or we have problems we try to let go and forgive. Life isn't pefect
but I just te each thing as blessing.
I would say being Asian , It is true that we take things lightly, so much different from women western countries.
For some people ( or example) to spill milk is so annoying but when i happens to an asian, she would most likely laugh about it.
Most be also the geographical location... Philippines, having the sun almost all year round is such a great thing to have in my childhood until adulthood. I think having at least 86 % catholic ( practicing) 3 % christians and other religion. If you visit, churches are full on Sundays, Family day..love that..
Simple pleasures is what asians appreciate, a simple note, a joke, a simple "hi" would make an asian happy.
The secret is most of us are God fearing...andthat makes a lotf difference...

I agree with seoulsearch...asians have brains and that's one tactic.. they pretend to sleep.ehhehe... so as not to talk to you.. by the way, your nick fits you...
hahaha so thats it!
they pretend to sleep so i wont talk to them! because they think i'll start telling them all about my asian driver stories.
on a side note, my favourite kind of t-shirt are those which have english writing on them but are made in asian countries - i.e. broken english. i have quite a collection, from china, HK, thailand, cambodia. the writing is hilarious.
also, engrish.com. love it.
My wife is independent - she even earned he Ph.D - something I am not interested in doing. She is smart and enjoys growing in her spirituality and she know what she believes - she is my equal partner in every way. I like women who are happy about who they are, without feeling like they have to be submissive. I didn't want to marry someone who is less than an adult - I wanted someone who enjoyed their independence,

I can probably guess the reason I am still single is because I am not submissive. I can see not wearing provactive clothes, I dress pretty modistly. I just do not like taking orders from men. I have never dated a Christian before so it might make a difference. I have dated unbeleivers and I have always got the impression that they are controll freaks. If I was married to a good Christian guy I would respect his authority and his wishes
It's true with any characteristic Buckeyegirl700. The more that we fit in with the "perfect" image, the more likely we are to have a mate.
What Christians adore is not exactly what the heathen's desire in a mate, but many things are similar to the two tastes. It's an imperfect world and we just got to deal with it.

Someone told me once and I forget exactly what - but it was something they used to do apparently and it was a good thing. Heaping coals on someone's head I mean. It wasn't straight onto their head it was, like, on top of something.. I can't remember..
but basically it wasn't about scolding and harming someone but about warming them up. Literally. I used to think "heaping coals" referred to hurting the person, like it was a mean thing to do, which is what it sounds like if you don't know about the culture it was written for at the time.
I wish I could remember and knew where to read more about it. But basically if you re-interpret the verse realising that actually heaping coals is supposed to be a good, compassionate thing to warm someone up, it changes the context.
It's saying if someone is unkind to you, have compassion on them and warm them up (because it's hurting people that hurt people, so if someone harms you their coldness stems from their own neediness) by repaying their evil with good. Hope that helps.
