Because I found a website today where pissed off foreigners just bitch and bitch. So it really looked like kind of a support group for people having bad days in a strange land, but having gone through one of the comment pages, I feel as though many of these people could benefit from just... spiking their mi fan with midol or something.
Like there was a challenge where folks should submit their best simile for life in China, but the replies were just so bitter that everyone missed the point of what this challenge *could* have been. A lot of them compared China to self-mutilation, disappointment, unhealthy relationships, and regrettable sex. Often, Chinese people were described as children, effete, stupid, or crooked. I hadn't even read all the comments when the most obvious solution presented itself: go home. I mean... if you don't like it here, and it's so much trouble to stay here, why don't you just go home? Clearly it's sooooo much better back there, though I promise you'll still be able to find shit to complain about.
Whatever, everyone is allowed a moment to rage and be a moron, especially when unexpected things happen that aren't altogether positive (re: not at all), but classless humor is not a substitute for superiority and belittling an entire country of individuals just because you had a bad day does not pass for clever.
Cope or go home.
