Q: Chinese way of venting out?
Come to think of it, I think I've never seen a Chinese person get really really angry. They talk loud, but a Chinese friend told me it doesn't necesarly mean they are uber mad.
And a lot of Chinese people are really reserved. So I was wondering how do they vent out when too much stress is accumulated? Do they get drunk?
I personnally put on my glow in the dark spandex pants, put on my Lucky Charm hat and dance the Macarena while singing "who let the dogs out". It really helps evacuating the stress, and it doesn't harm anybody, except that one time when my Chinese girlfriend came home with a friend of her, but i managed to explain it is normal behavior in 'Merica.
So what are the most common way to evacuate stress among Chinese people?
It seems that in the West, anger is akin to a bottle of fizzy cola-pop (let's say Panda Pops because they were really REALLY fizzy, even if they only came in tiny bottles... my favourite flavour was cherry, what was yours?) being shaken vigorously for 4 minutes, then uncapped. The anger (represented by the fizzy cherry pop) will gush out all at once in a sticky mess.
However, despite the common 'panda' link, Chinese people have never drunk panda pops, so know nothing of it's volatile nature. Instead, Chinese people are like a tea flask with a tiny tiny crack in. The tea will drip out slowly but constantly. Every so often (because drinking tea is good), the flask will be refilled, so it never runs out of tea. The Chinese 'drip' out their anger by spitting, shouting down the phone, scamming people, driving badly, going to KTV, having a foot massage, clubbing baby puppies to death, and visiting prostitutes. It's a slow, but constant evacuation of stress and anger, unlike in the West where we simply flip the bird, shout "You smelly son of a gun I really dislike you!" poop in a paper bag and set fire to it, or go on a shotgun massacre in high school.
Chinese do not get angry, they get even.
Revenge is a major Chinese obsession.

I saw on a tabloid that this school Hongtang High School in Ningbo city, in East China's Zhejiang province said they put a psychological venting room.
If the students feel depressed, they can kick the dummies in the venting room to release their pent-up emotions.The boys are more likely to beat the dummies and the girls are more like to cry in the venting room.
Back home ('merica) they just hit on the small,poor, defenselessness,chubby geeks ...
witch then creates them psychopath killers that go on shooting rampage in our schools.
