Steve Jobs would have disagreed.
Things Jobs (well, employees in Apple to be precise) invented only became āwantedā after being announced/launched.
How is the average Chinese citizen doing is what Iād like to know.
THIS is why we were frantically investing in property in the mid to late 2000s.

So China is like Ireland is what youāre saying?
I joke, Iām the AML specialist for an āenterprise fund.ā This fund allows Chinese Nationals the privilege of paying a million euro to get a residency permit. I didnāt realise they liked Guinness and rain so much.

What about quality of life disregarding home side and gadgets? Does their own entertainment and news media shit on its own people? Here in America many cities have devolved into crime ridden and drug infested dungeons. How about there? Are the women dumping on their own men? Literacy? Academic achievement?

Lol. This sentence for sure belongs in this thread. JFC
Iām not sure what your point is. This has been going on since the 70s. One town after another .

I just take issue with your use of negative hyperbole, or conversely, your utter ignorance.

Ignorance of what? That I actually worked in such towns? That such towns exist? That my parents lived in towns that were nice to live in, that by definition, devolved?
Can one be ignorant, that is, unknowing, of what heās experienced? That would be nonsensical.
Or perhap are you ignorant to the fact that high crime areas actually exist?

We can even take my high school, an alright place when I went to it, but now has violent occurrences and a lower educational standard.
Or are you gonna tell me about my own hometown and what my circle of people are ignorant to?

Oh itās a high crime area now? I thought it was just one of many crime ridden and drug infested dungeon cities? Big difference in descriptions without the use of hyperbole.
And yes you can be ignorant as all get out if you blindly ascribe your own individual experience to that of the masses.

I wonder if someone such as yourself would moved to such towns. Maybe you will.
The asiansister thing youāve linked is just pornography, not social media.
Thank for the detailed responses.

Those pics were retrieved from a social media site called weibo. So were the pics on instagram. You canāt access weibo unless you create an account, and the process is all in Chinese.
China people canāt access instagram unless they have VPNS and itās too much of a hassle anyway since itās all in English so they use weibo.
EDIT:
It was pinterest, not instagram. But the pics were from weibo.
No problem. People have a very wrong idea about the country from the media making shit up.
Iām just stating the real shit thatās going down.
Also, like I was telling greenboy about women in these kinds of countries, even Brazil, he wouldnāt be able to handle a traditional wife from there given his ability to whine and whine about the smallest of things. If you want a good, submissive wife, you need to act like a man. Whoās gonna cook for you and do the dishes and shit if they donāt respect you lol?

I think as opposed to the prospect of crime statistics/prevalence of drug use within various towns and cities Californiagrown is upset with the way youāve used a blanket generalisation to speak about various locations.
Iāll take Shepparton Victoria as an Australian example. Methamphetamine has taken a grip on this town and a portion of its inhabitants. Roadblocks/random testing detect traces of methamphetamine within around 10% of all those driving through (a fairly high statistic when you think about it).
That being said, the statistical majority of citizens arenāt using methamphetamine and to call the town a ādungeonā would be an exaggeration. Does the place have a drug problem? Obviouslyā¦ statistics indicate methamphetamine has disproportionately infiltrated this town.
If I take a long trek down to the city Iāll occasionally see people shooting up on park benches if I go down to certain suburbs with bad reputations, one can also occasionally see people tweaked out on methamphetamine; theyāre emaciated, shaking and delirious. This doesnāt equate to the entire city being a drug infested dungeon, rather a certain portion of the populace have succumbed to vice.
Itās unfortunate, and for obvious reasons itās a smart move to stay away from those who are creating public disturbances (you see this with drunk kids all the time tooā¦ stay the fuck away from them). Even then, youāre looking at a minute percentage of the populace who tend to cause this kind of disturbance. From what Iāve noted even the vast majority of those hooked on drugs arenāt going out and shooting up on public benches, going out in public after having not slept for six days etc.

Itās because youāre hurting the feelings of Christians. You canāt insult the recognized religions there so you canāt insult Allah either. Itās for social order. But I doubt anyone bothers to enforce it. Iām just stating the rules.
There are so many Taoist and Buddhist scammers people insult them all the time.
