Okay first off, don't go off and blame the thread just because you're feeling "attacked" and accusing the thread as being a "hatefest"...I think you would recall my question to the topic:

Oh I'm so sorry for asking such an "subjective" question, I guess my saying "how many people agree with it" is some sort of brainwashing scheme of mine to make everyone agree with me.

This thread was not meant to be a "hatefest" nor was it wrong for anyone to disagree. No one had a problem with what you said regarding the topic; both happy_doughnut and Panuru were responding with their own views to what you disagreed with. It's called "discussion" in case you didn't know.

It was only when you mentioned the fact that you "play with chopsticks" was when things started to get ugly. Sure, maybe you were saying it to be humorous, but you cannot dare to accuse other people of being "too sensitive" and "people hating" or think that people wouldn't respond to such a comment when and if we feel that playing with chopsticks or other eating utensils is disrespectful or rude to the culture! And yes, maybe you don't feel like it's being disrespectful, but you have to at least take into consideration that this sort of behavior is rude to others especially if we're from those countries that do use chopsticks. But hey, feel free to continue doing whatever you'd like with chopsticks because we can't and won't stop you (doesn't mean that I, for one, like it though), but we're just simply expressing our reasons for why we find it so vulgar.

True, perhaps it's stupid to be angry or enraged over a small thing like this, but what if it's a big thing for some of us? Are you going to hold it against us if that's the case? So if I see some retard Asian who should and does know that sticking chopsticks upright in a bowl of rice is extremely improper but does it anyway, should I not get angry at the sheer stupidity of this person? Just because it's not a huge deal to him means I can't be infuriated?

Oh no, poor you...you haven't been out all weekend...so that completely justifies your pissy and immature behavior just because you felt attacked by the people on this thread? Sorry, but that's no excuse.

If you have a problem with what I said above, Redpyramidhead, just PM me. To an Administrator or Moderator: Please lock this thread...unfortunately it seems we can't discuss things like adults anymore.
