Please, pay attention as teachers in China have some serious
issues to deal with nowadays which neither the Silver Bi*** nor his other pseudonyms
have much knowledge about.

Let me guess... An election not going in your favour?

Being the victim of racism in Asia depriving you of the chance to call people out on their privilege?

Your made up false gender not being a recognised option of any of the registration forms in China?

Don't you think that your chosen nickname for Silverboy is a bit misogynistic? That must be why the board censored it.

Silverboy is a bit older than most of the posters, he's probably actually faced real problems in his life in the past. You've still got the good times lying ahead of you!

Nobody is welcoming YOU back, Turnoi. This board is much better without you. Go back to your bottle of gin and leave us alone.

The BIGGEST and most serious issue that FTs in China have to deal with is the inability to share experiences on such forums as this one for esl sites are sponsored by the employers, recruiters, tesol/tefl and invaded by varieties of questionable users. So, given my previous input vs yours, you've proved my obvious point.

A BIG serious issue that FTs in China have to deal with are dishonest schools and the employers who run them. The cultural side of this is to understand Chinese business "culture" and how to deal with the latter. Given your previous input, you don't seem to know anything about them either. You must also be unemployable in your home country for obvious reasons and cannot do anything but to sell yourself to dishonest employers in China. And this is what losers do. Yes, loser!

Debating teaching and employment seems compromising, so pissing appears satisfying for the board. "Brothels" aren't the likely sponsors here.

"His wife visited him in hospital on the night of the accident but she left him for good after learning how severe his injuries were and how big the hospital bills would be."

They don't just leave foreigners when they get sick, they do it to fellow Chinese people too!

Don't marry Chinese women. Or if you do, make sure you have a decent understanding of Chinese society and pick a decent high class one. There's nothing snobby or prejudiced about overlooking pretty farmer women for marriage, you're just merely looking after your own best interests! No matter how beautiful a gold digger is, it will end in tears. Those kinds of women are strictly for pumping and dumping, no matter how 'traditional' they are!

I think Silverboy does a wonderful job on this board and I also happen to be doing pretty good in China these days; despite not being 100% happy about everything that happens here. I guess it must be due to all the negative stuff that my Chinese friends tell me. After that, even the most hardcore Bernie Bro wouldn't quite consider China to be the communist utopia that they'd always dreamed about, if they actually spent time here and actually got some non-teaching shit done away from their training centre.

Nothing wrong with brothels and mongering, "all good fun" as another poster on here says.

I'd say short term Pattaya girlfriends are certainly preferable to the misery of marriage to a
woman in China.

I guess I won't be spotting you in Soi 6 anytime soon?

Although I cannot be quite sure, I highly doubt he has a degree in Applied Linguistics. Instead, he most likely has a degree in Brothelling combined with an experiential practicum in places like Pattaya.

Then he much later changed his tune and claimed to have a degree in Applied Linguistics.

YAWN!

We don't have to be well-educated in order to conduct ourselves with some dignity in any setting we choose to immerse ourselves in. Although, of course it helps!

I've met many ordinary Chinese citizens doing menial jobs who behaved with total respect to each other and to me. They weren't well-educated by any stretch of the imagination. However, their manners were impeccable!

And many of them assumed me to be Russian on account of my ordinary and well-worn clothes, and my old-style mobile, not an i phone btw!

While shopping, I often overhear passers-by saying oorlooshi to each other, which means Russia.

Unfortunately for them, S'boy and his fans cannot enjoy living and/or working in China!

Maybe many of us are too used to being treated like rubbish. I expect when SB moved into a school flat he objected to being given a bucket to flush some filthy loo with a cracked plastic pan cover. I think you probably willingly slummed it in some of the rubbish schools you've been in. In your case I wonder why you have put up with being short-changed- you speak articulately and clearly, I have heard you, yet you have put up with nonsense from evil Chinese bosses, and in doing so let us all down.

Just saying like- no disrespect meant. All the Chinese believe they need to do once they have shoved you in your squalid flat is sit you in front to a revolving table with a plate of peanuts which they oblige you to serve yourself using slippery chopsticks.

I am well educated.............

Begs the question as to when you will act like it.

As for the rest, well, just more of your blabbedy blabbedy.

That is true. Myself, yourself, we have credibility because we have revealed ourselves and we really are who we say we are.

As for other posters on here I have trouble believing that they are genuine. I think Fifi is genuine but she failed to provide a pic so I
can't be sure about her.

Everything I say is true. I tell the truth and the information I provide can be verified. The other posters on here who hide behind their computer
can't really be trusted, including you know who.

Ha!
SB claims to be well educated, but of course this is not true. He used to brag about his degree in fashion. Then he much later changed his tune and claimed to have a degree in Applied Linguistics. If you believe that claim, I've got some swamp land in Florida I'll give you at a great price.

So what is it you base your "knowing" on? Is it that because he claims it it must be true? Don't be snowed so easily, Taffy. I can't believe I'm saying this but, really, it's beneath you to be so gullible.

Well, posters like him and Expat really exist ,don't they-we know what they look like, don't we? On the other hand, we have a problem pin-pointing what other posters are- Is he male, is he female? No, I think that if he tells us he has a degree in Linguistics and can speak oral Mandarin we can rely on that to be true.

I am well educated and have had several different jobs and probably have more life experience than you. I retired just after my 48th birthday.

My views on ( mainland ) Chinese people are based on fact. I don't make this stuff up. If you look on You Tube there is plenty of evidence that paints these people in a very bad light. Chinese people are becoming hated all over this planet.

As I've said many times you just need to look at Chinese TV dating shows to quickly form a view about the lack of morality and ethics of the Chinese people. I live an honest life and I don't cheat anyone or ask them for money, never have.

There were many reasons why I left China but one of them was that I was sick tired of listening to Chinese women talking about marriage and men buying them houses and cars, it is extremely annoying whether in Chinese or English. Myself and many other men don't want to listen to that fucking shit, or when these women whine about how "difficult" their life is.

Talk about "disrespecting women", what about the lack of respect Chinese women have for men? Nobody EVER brings this topic up on here.

Chinese women are just shooting themselves in the foot, on many websites men talk about how they "are the worst out of all Asian women".

My views against the Chinese are contained to mainlanders, I don't have a problem with the Taiwanese, most of them I met were quite different to mainlanders.

Somebody brought up the topic of oral sex and cancer on here and I put my fifty cents worth in, LOL!

It is obvious that you are offended somewhat or you would not complain on here.

Talking about luxury watches is not offensive and harms nobody. Taffy talking about kippers and other assorted topics harms nobody.

Fifi talking about Trump is a bit boring sometimes, but if that's what she wants to do, go for it girl.

Maybe you should go to some tropical island for a week and chill out.

huh?

Your country makes it damned difficult for properly qualified and certified expats to resume teaching there after having taught in Asia.

You can't get enhanced security clearance from the homeland polis to do so unless u can provide a reference from someone of standing, such as a vet or a preacher in Blighty who will tell them in writing that you are fit and proper to teach back home coz you behaved in an exemplary fashion while in Blighty AND in Asia, COUNTRY BY COUNTRY. You will also have to provide the polis with your previous two addresses in Blighty.

For me it matters not. I wouldn't go through all that BS to resume teaching in Blighty, but others might wish to do it.

SB is well-educated I do know.

Why should anyone feel offended when reading diatribe on here posted by yourself and your likes?

It tells a lot about you and your co-posters' level of education or the lack of the same.

It seems there are currently no real teachers posting on here; otherwise, the level of topics and their discussion would less sub-standard as it is now.

Especially your view of women and the Chinese in general sounds really racist and juvenile.

Are you still in the phase of puberty?

Posts with contents degrading women and other stuff completely unrelated to teaching are the
topics that seem to spread on this board. It says quite something about the posters
currently active on here.

Indeed it does, observer - indeed it does.

It seemed for awhile that the board's monitors had developed a consciousness in this regard; however, the sophomoric diatribes continue. The monitors now seem to embrace such seedy and worthless posts as if they are encouraging such behavior. Teachers and others with potentially meaningful contributions have little choice but to contribute elsewhere if they are hoping for positive feedback. Moreover, wading through all the crap here with the hopes of finding a gem in the sewer has become more and more of an exercise in futility.

The trolls are winning. The monitors are sleeping.

I appreciate your observation.

Exactly, 'Obverver' !
