If at the end of 10 years, people don't get it, just pull the plug on Pinatubo and blast the place to Hell.The Society of Honorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536906267332687130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-67807537656053738952011-12-06T06:32:06.000+08:002011-12-06T06:32:06.000+08:00I wonder why the "brilliant" "intel...I wonder why the "brilliant" "intelligent" haughty-snooty-englsichtzes-snob Philippine Media is not making noise to force the Senate and the Congress to investigate Singson who his drug suppliers are.<br /><br />They get his drug suppliers, they get the drug suppliers that sent the 3 Filipinos to their death in China.Mariano Renatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920187760151863841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-36528348115424513442011-12-06T05:04:31.060+08:002011-12-06T05:04:31.060+08:00Attila, fascinating, actually.

They have issues."<br /><br />I have the same difficulty, generally because I am not inclined to recite my background or opinions, and most of the men display no intellectual curiosity. I think this is rooted in poor education, or education that taught them to memorize things but question nothing. Often they move to macho jokes, which I don't enjoy, and frequently too early (or too intimately) into the relationship. On the other hand, one Filipino and I really clicked. He ran the property tax assessor's office in a mid-sized town, like to read (American books), and was highly curious about my banking background, personal background and investments. Reading means a lot, I think.The Society of Honorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536906267332687130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-61943229679221115672011-12-05T11:31:09.055+08:002011-12-05T11:31:09.055+08:00"Ego maniacal behavior is a self preserving a..."Ego maniacal behavior is a self preserving adaptive trait that develops in an environment of extreme stress and negativity" <br />The only solution for them is economic growth. Education and upbringing values will most likely wont change unless their life gets better. <br />The differences between the Filipino men that I know and socialize with here in New York and the men in Philippines are day and night. Why? <br />They both embrace and respect their culture, right? However you will not see me having the same fun in the company of a native "traditional" type of Filipino man in the Philippines as I have here in New York. The ego thing, the pride issue, ignorance and the abnormal very limited social skills they have back in the Philippines are likely to keep me away from them. Interestingly when I'm in the Philippines I have no problem having great conversations with Filipinas but not Filipino man in general. They have issues.Attilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06669976067539551920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-91885181523197268622011-12-04T16:30:42.290+08:002011-12-04T16:30:42.290+08:00Anon, you said more bluntly the general tendencies...Anon, you said more bluntly the general tendencies I have seen.

Rational discourse is all but impossible with these folks as their thinking process revolves around their ego which, in their belief, the whole world must accommodate. <br /><br />This is why they are blind to their own faults and they are easy to criticize others. To even consider the idea that one is deficient in any form is unacceptable to an ego maniac. <br /><br />But there is a reason for this method of thinking. Ego maniacal behavior is a self preserving adaptive trait that develops in an environment of extreme stress and negativity. For if a person loses all self worth then it cannot continue to exist. Denial is the best defense. Ignorance is, indeed, bliss.<br /><br />So instead of Prozac, the average Filipino need only find comfort by absolving themselves of any responsibility for the situation. That is why when tragedy falls upon the Philippines it is always the fault of others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
