In response to What? - ESL discussion (Mike B.)

Good points, but the truth must be told. Facts are facts, I don't make them confrontational.

I still don't like the "so" called teachers coming here. They can stay at home if they want to party. About the Chinese people who run English schools, they see these kids as the "corruption" in the business. We often complain about the corrupt Chinese employer, but what about the corrupt employee, who is just some college kid who knows nothing about teaching and does a poor job at it, but he wants to get away from mummy and daddy, so he pretends to be an ESL teacher to come to China or South Korea!!!

Actually, China was like North Korea not so long ago. How can you really judge a place that you have never been to? American people used to say, and still often do, that China was some horrible place of starvation and Despotism, but now, we know that was false and absolutely ridiculous.(You must admit, the CPC of China has done a good job, they have only been the government since 1949, and they have over a billion mouths to feed, they have done a pretty good job for the amount of people the must be concerned with.) If the DPRK has taught us any lesson, it is that, if you have the atom bomb, you don't have to worry about the USA "trespassing on your property". You must admit, they have guts to stand up to the USA like that. Also, the trade volume between China and DPRK and increased dramatically, so on both sides, they are doing well, and benefiting from free trade.

Don't fall victim to the US propaganda, remember, the strongest country in the world, also has the best propaganda machine. If you ask anyone from France, Canada, or Russia, what is Cuba like, they would say it is a wonderful little place in paradise, but your average American, whom has never been there, would say something negative and ridiculous, not based on any factual information, or base it on something that unrelated that happened over 40 years ago. But, I must comment, at least the Cubans get FREE and excellent modern health-care, poor Americans, they get nothing free, their grandfathers and grandmothers have to pay $200 for a small bottle of heart medicine they need to live plus $175 for a bottle of arthritis meds, and don't forget the doctors bills, because we must pay the doctor to prescribe us medicines we need to live, and they can barely afford it with their small and dwindling social security checks. Now whom do you pity?
