In response to be a gentleman... - ESL discussion (Mic)

It's a fact of life that in EVERY country young people in particular like to party.This is a natural instinct,and young people in the East are no different.If there is any difference it's that they are more discreet about it,that's all.

It's not necessary for most graduates to come to the East if they want to party.There's generally not much to stop most of them partying a lot, back in their own countries.

Having a good time is a PART of life for most people,and as I said before that's natural!For young people it may generally be a bigger part of life,but these inclinations are felt by most people whatever country they may come from including those in the East!

It is not your business to come here and do those kinds of things.

It is also not YOUR business to question the motives of those from the West who choose to come here to teach English.You have no right to try to ocuppy some sort of moral high ground.You are NOT the guardian of our consciences.
If you want to preach, stay in your own country and preach.

They hire you to

Of course they won't SAY that they go to bars and suchlike because it's generally not the Chinese way to admit these things!It doesn't however mean that they don't do it!

> China has enough problems, the last thing the country needs is some
> immorale foreigners running around the place like it is a University
> Fraternity party.

Also the last thing China needs is are judgemental
pompus,patronising preachers like yourself.What adults do in their personal life is their business, not yours.
Go back to your own country if you want to behave like that!
