Drinks and titty bar are always good. Except in China, where the drinks are watered down bootleg, and the women have no titties to speak of. Not that it matters, because most of ‘em are so pig ugly you’d need two paper bags – you put one over your own head in case the one over her head comes off.

But hey, on the plus side, by going to a titty bar we’d be demeaning them, so it evens out, right?

Yup, drinks and titty bar it is. Anyone else here care to join us?

I’ve done my part to help him. Although, let’s be honest, my amazing subtlety and diplomatic cunning may be in vain.

MyLaowai is putting out a call to help our little friend Michael. Support him as you would your own kin. We must stand with him shoulder to shoulder, don’t show any fear to the natives, and wait until you see the bloodshot yellow of their eyes… Let ‘em have it lads!

Damn, I need a drink.

Well, ladies, gentlemen and the others, at this very moment MyLaowai is #1 with 352 votes; the runner-up got 239 of those. Meaning you can relax a little, after all ’tis a season to celebrate, and to get pissed, but whatever you do, DO NOT fall asleep yet! There are almost 2 more weeks to go.

Pity I did not follow other categories. There’s a man in trouble there in the News Blog category, Michael at The Opposite End of China. He is a runner up right now, but too far behind by about 70 votes.Maybe it’s too late to help, but try anyway.

Why I support him? Read his post “Luvchina’s One-Man Nationalist Fatwa”, including all comments:

‘Decent Idiots, Assholes… equally bad.’

Stalin called them ‘useful idiots’. We call them the ‘pink coloured glasses brigade’.

During Hitlers’ regime they were called ‘the half educated’.

History keeps repeating itself. I invested heavily in the molten glass business. If only there was an easy way to neutralize radioactivity.

Geez. Never thought of MyLaowai as a missionary. Did I misunderestimate you?
I’m taking a thoughtful break.

Once upon a time I would have agreed completely. I have met, however, one or two people who, when presented with the Truth in an understanding way, have proved to be excellent converts to The Cause.

Decent Idiots, Assholes… equally bad.

Converts, on the other hand, make for an excellent source of intel :)

Ha! You are naiiive yourself! When you try to explain to a well-meaning idealist where he is wrong, he will consider you to be the snake in paradise!
Cracks aside: Both kinds of people are unpleasant with pretty bad effects – but people who knowingly do the wrong thing will never hate you for being different. They’ll only make use of the idiot’s idealism.
I really think the decent idiot is somewhat worse than the asshole.
