The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which "unskilled people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it." The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average.

What you don't realize is that I am Chinese, you are Chinese, in fact everybody is Chinese, but most just don't know it yet.
According to National Geographic we are all African. Man, Im all confused.
This was all before the pre-Continental drift.*

Genetically, undeniably so...According to National Geographic we are all African. Man, Im all confused.

Politically, China believes it is the center of the world, and it is the most important part. All other people are Chinese subjects, whether or not they know it, and over time, all people, ALL PEOPLE, will be under their rule. China's political mind is the most patient in the history of mankind.

I, gotcha. In the tradition of the "you've created a monster legacy" I thought I would show a picture of why I hate China so much.

and will be working as a history teacher for the International Division of
a Chinese STATE high school. So they said "TIbet and Taiwan are part of
China, Tiananman Incident was counter-revolutionary, you TEACH that
in class." I said O.K., if China wasn't in Tibet, the Indians would have been
(and would have run it like Kashmir). In 1989 the Beijing students had left
the Square and the country kids were still there and no idea what to do.
But if a kid reallly wants to know what happened (and won't narc on me)
I'll wink at my desk drawer and nudge it open.
China doesn't suck for the following reasons:
You have the freedom to get rich, travel, wear what you want,
date whom you want, and even complain about the C Party, provided you
don't organize against it. Shanghai is like China's Monaco and they build
toys like F-1 tracks to amuse the masses.
China sucks for the following reasons;
You can get thrown in jail or worse for blogging certain things, pissing
off minor jealous officials, not bribing the right amount at the right time,
and other such indescretions. People spit, shove, yell, and curse you
colorfully at the drop of the hat. Don't marry a Chinese unless the
word "control freak" is something you like associated with your spouse.
I know I'm doomed, but I have 2 passports and after 19 years I was
bored with the easy money and life in Japan. When life gets boring, risk it!
Peace

Big problem with being in China:
eating REAL Chinese food.
Heres my big problem with China and my opinion of it:
The Chinese communist government, is made out a gang of 100+ year old thugs and bullies who hide in seclusion. This pitiful effort of trying to change the hearts and minds of of the world is a joke!
How can the United States trade millions and millions of dollars with them and give them most favored trade status when they know what is happening? Two wrongs do not lead to a right, no matter what twisted world you live in.

And yet Islam thinks that all of the world belongs to Islam, but just doesn't know it yet, Marx says we're all heading towards communism, but we don't know it yet, and Samuel Beckett says its all going to shit, but we don't know it yet. And Christianity says that every knee shall bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. That's a lot on a hot Tuesday night.Politically, China believes it is the center of the world, and it is the most important part. All other people are Chinese subjects, whether or not they know it, and over time, all people, ALL PEOPLE, will be under their rule.

All that said, this thread is veering near the "no politics" line, so tread carefully.
China also sucks because they cheap cynically and openly with ages of their girl gymnasts.

They subsidize the cost of oil so their demand can continue to rise thus increase our prices.
The next world war will be with China...maybe Russia and China. No Fun.

I have an uncle who's been saying that for years and I always thought he was full of it. Now I think he might be right.
