Q: Is this the stupidest thing?
I know it's hard to nail the absolute stupidest thing but this has got to be hard to beat in The Stupidest Thing in the World Competition...
Me; Hey mate, day off, lets go for a beer!
Mate; OH NO! I can't! No beer! Because.now.is.the.time.I.must.begin.to.prepare.to.make.a.baby.
Me; WTF!!
Mate; You can't understand me. This. Is. Chiiina!!!
Me; Are you mental? Oh well, stupid is as stupid does I suppose. So anyway, can I help you?
Mate; Ting bu dong.
This will be the winning entry, as surely nothing is more stupid than this.
*As there's no Stupidity category I'll have to throw this in with Culture.

dude, I decided to fk with the heads of my oriental office-mates, so I walked around the reception lobby of our business office acting like I was going to install a shower on the wall of said lobby. This educated IT professional came and began trying to assist me in sussing out a place to install a shower wand/hose in a business office lobby !!! he seemed to never question why we would be installing a shower hose on the wall of the reception lobby !!!!!! this doesn't translate well,,,, u had to be there! strangest thing I've ever seen....
Robk:
Maybe he thought it was for a drinking fountain or some kind of decorative fountain...
You know that ole Chinese rule?! Don't ask why because there is none...
But Chinese sperm is different!
I've heard of this & other things Chinese men can't have before when one couple that ScotsAlan & myself know we're trying for a baby. He was told he had "weak sperm" and the things his wife made him do were downright silly. If he wasn't stressed about the situation before then all the subsequent pressure placed on him sure didn't help.
Something worked though rough as they now have a cute son.
ScotsAlan:
With respect to this particular couple, I think it was good old fashioned British witchcraft that done the trick. I kid you not. The general feeling about this couple was that the guy was under fantastic, todger crumpling pressure to perform, and as a result he crumpled. I asked a couple of witches I know in the Uk if they could help. So they made a couple of charms and gave instrution in what to do. After 10 years of trying she was pregnant within 2 months. I know this was a conincidence I know, but I figured maybe they would believe western witchcraft to be more powerful then local superstition. In effect, removing the pressure from them and putting it on the witches charms. Anything to help them relax :) Just imagine how nervous I was walking through customs carrying a box of witches charms....wow. Wonderful placebos :)
BHGAL:
my brother in law is in desperate need of some UK witchcraft trinkets ;;hint hint

Alcohol does have a negative effect on sperm quality, but it does have a positive effect on coitus count.... I call this one a tie.
The Chinese approach, to simply quit drinking alcohol without e.g. starting to exercise is just stupid. It is a narrow minded view on things. No one ever mentions the fact that most women are being stressed daily by the parents on this particular topic. Relax and the world will be populated.
ScotsAlan:
Aye. It inceases the desire but decreases the ability (of the delivery system ).
royceH:
Not yet it doesn't. Sure, I recognise the writing is on the wall but until that deflating event I'll continue with my regimen of prevention. And thank you to all those jap enthusiasts that offer such great assistance! (internet governance notwithstanding....)
Eorthisio:
Exercising helps much more than alcohol to get laid. Both are complementary in some way but keeping fit and looking good will help more to get p*ssies than alcohol. No woman is going to respect a man who doesn't respect himself first. I stopped drinking quite early at 21 after I passed away and almost died from it (was on a small road, my buddy pulled me away from it, cars were coming in). But I do go to gym 6 days per week. I never had any struggle to get girls, especially in China. Well now that I have a girlfriend it's different, I mean then.
Notice how about half the answered have been deleted?
Not cool admin, I don't think the answers were racist at all, in fact they were anti-racial because many of us were saying how our bodies are really NOT that different... and since racism is about discrimination based mainly on physical appearance... then dispelling those rumors would help to narrow the gap.
Also, being Chinese (or a Main lander) is not a race. Saying something like Russians are crazy doesn't mean I hate Caucasians. It is a generalization or a stereotype yes, but not racist.
sorrel:
this site is being harmonised more.
notice the high number of trolls.........
Silva 3.0
this site is WAY less useful/interesting/informative than 12 months ago - even 6 months ago.
certainly less informative and due to the non-fuctioning 'Search', the same questions are being asked over and over.
Robk:
Yeah. And also notice how some are using the site as their personal journal and and 'Dear Diary'? I think it goes a little too far with that non-sense.
sorrel:
a great way to discredit a forum, short of total censorship you could also:
create fake profiles to:
ask inane questions followed up by inane comments to answers
be the unreliable poster who professes to be one thing then another
make wumao'ish comments without actually posting a question
I could go on
I must admit, they are getting better, but it is easy to spot the holes in the answers.
Sinobear:
I think the strategy is this: three or more 'report abuse' complaints get a post/thread removed. Our troll hero with multiple accounts is keeping admin busy (note the fast number of 'thumbs down' any negative response to the trolls get in quick order).
Eorthisio:
I was just wondering where my answer went. Also my blog essay about the slowing Chinese economy and the resulting social consequences for foreign residents never got published. Not cool admin.
royceH:
How do you know answers have been deleted? Do you mean to this question, or to others?
And in reference to your reference to stereotypes, well.....here's to that! Those.
Adit; Of course, I am above thinking in stereotypes. FYI.
Robk:
@royce - I was told by the admin that my comment was deleted and warned about using abusive words and racism.
That insulting China was not to be tolerated. And it was deleted and if continued it could result in a permanent ban.
I understand an admin doing their job and putting up with trolls but I don't think my post was so horrid that it it warranted deletion and warning. If people didn't like what I had to say then it could of been down voted into oblivion. I suspect someone "reported abuse" and then the admin make a quick decision.
It reminded me of how it must have felt during the Red Guard days (during the cultural revolution). If you neighbor says something you don't like, report them and say they are against the revolution and don't love Mao. Then they are quickly deleted from existence lol.
Scandinavian:
Dear Diary.
Today this Robk person wrote something completely uncalled for. I whish his ass would itch and his arms be too short.
