if you can say that you are completely and totally innocent of what happened and that you did nothing to provoke the attack then you have my sympathy. No one should be the victim of violence anywhere in the world. Come on now be honest, are you totally innocent?

Flawed logic, are you saying everyone who claims to be a victim of something can only have that right if they were completely perfect with their behavior? What kind of thinking is that? What's wrong with you? So anyone who has made mistakes in their life therefore deserves anything horrible that has happened to them? So tell us then Kevin what mistakes did Pete make that made him truly undeserving of sympathy from anyone. In your argument we should just ignore him and stop this thread, right? Because of what? On what grounds? There are no perfect people in this world, so honestly does that make any of us innocent, does that make you innocent?

your comments in previous posts though show a disdain for Chinese people that reveals your obvious racist and nationalistic attitudes. Again calling 90% of the Chinese scum reveals that you obviously should not be living in China. If you were anywhere else in the world saying what you are saying you would most likely be beaten there as well.

[edited]. Let's say I'm in a foreign country that I hold good will for. I let 2 people live with me. Then because of some disagreements we have had (which usually may come from misunderstanding and judgemental attitudes about certain things displayed by both sides, not just one side), I get beaten up badly for it. On what grounds do you believe that it was because of the original poster saying these things that got him beaten up? Also have you been "anywhere else" in the world?

there was an American that got a bottle upside the head once at a bar, he had been asked to move to a smaller table to allow a larger group to sit down. He told the woman to go fornicate on yonder, called her a female dog a few times and then continued drinking. This was not the first time that had happened but it was the last. There were about 15 other foreigners sitting around the patio and not one of them stood up to defend him. i would not say he deserved a bottle upside the head but i would say he had learned a valuable lesson.

His behavior was unacceptable anywhere in the world, yet after wards he claimed that the Chinese are so horrible and then looked for every example as to why. In his mind he was innocent, but also he believed that as an American he could do and say whatever he wanted and there would be no repercussions. He was wrong and I wonder if you are as well.

His behavior certainly wasn't acceptable in the least. With that being said I have met Scottish, Irish, and British folks who weren't exactly the most courteous and polite of people either during my time in china. Does that make it right for me to talk about them like how you talk about Americans? You accuse someone else of bigotry and then YOU FREAKING DO IT YOURSELF! What a nice guy you are! During my time in china my first bad job I got was working with an alcoholic american who had personal issues and troubles, I was cheated of my salary at that job as well as being verbally abused. Hell we might even be talking about the same person. What should I do then, talk about and think about americans like you, Kevin? What about people who come from abusive families who live overseas and then have bad situations happen to them in the host country, are they supposed to think about anything nationally? You don't care though, you just want to flaunt your ideas as being the best while annoying others.

If someone really was assaulted, beaten, or god forbid raped by some criminal who runs a business in a foreign coutry, why would they have any vote of confidence in you or with this board if the first response they get is being accused of being hypocritical? Try to actually look at both sides of the coin next time, although that might be too hard for you now. I wonder if you have done some things that warrant your attitude towards certain expats.
