Asian Pride, meryl!

I know what you mean about the people acting all paranoid about SARS. The store which my mother owns has seen a slight decrease in customers recently, but I honestly dont think that the majority of them have even thought about having a problem with imported goods. And hopefully that thought wont ever cross their mind's. But it seems everyone's talking about it in the asian community, and not to say SARS isnt a serious topic, because it is. I'm just getting a little tired of people speculating this and that and not even knowing the proper facts. And this goes for everyone, asian, american, whatever. They shouldnt be spreading rumors that they've heard and are not completely sure of, it just causes more people to spread crap around. I seriously hate it whenever someone thinks they know what's going on, and then tries to explain it to a group of people, when all their doing is just causing them to panic. I mean, damn, if their gonna explain something, they should at least know their facts. But you know what? I think i'm gonna walk around and pretend to cough, just to see what people do...

edit: btw guys, the little asian smiley doesnt work! It turns out like this
