And precisely why you shouldn't be commenting on a TEACHERS board. You're not teachers, you're [edited] who [edited] in your own countries so came to Asia to take advantage of your position with your students. Pathetic.

You're not shy in coming forward with your points of view. And you love putting your words into the mouths of others.
That said, I bet you're missing the London Olympics. I'm sure a fleet fox, maybe with a tattoo or two, will win a gold for Blighty, and be hailed a national hero by the media for his/her outstanding effort.

In China there are Westerners who are diametrically opposite in their views on many issues. If they meet, they will grow to despise each other. At the same time, there are irresponsible Western leaders starting needless wars in which military personnel and innocent bystanders are getting their heads blown off. That's far worse than the issues you're going on about on this board. So. I don't give a tinker's cus if you're annoyed. That's life. At least here in China the average Joe is too busy making a living to worry about the opposite sex having it off!
