Therefore, I'm entitled to my "holier-than-thou" attitude about visitors who do not do the same when they come to Canada. Quote:

You are saying you don't want more customers to keep your jobs? Are you saying you don't want more money in our economy? You don't want to make Vancouver a more international city so maybe we can have more investors in here? You are are truly single minded dumbfucks.
| To some, Vancouver is heaven on earth and therefore we don't need any more people with whom to share this place. To heck with the economy - I want my view of the mountains, my access to the beach, and a place to park my car for free.
Sure, I'm being tongue-in-cheek, but these sentiments are just underneath the surface. Check out Craigslist, the West Ender, or the Georgia Straight. Quote:
Also you want more clean? At least in HK and SZ they have trash cans everywhere to put your garbage in and if you put your cigarette on the floor, you will get fined if caught. Vancouver? I see everyone just throwing their butts on the floor. Great example there.
| Shenzhen may have a subway system and garbage cans, but it's still a classless city. I like Hong Kong though (perhaps because the British civilized the place before they left.)
I reckon that most of the rich Mainlainders got rich through their stakes in government-owned businesses. Money never buys class.

You think the mainlanders are rude and have no manners? It sure sounds like half of you guys here are more arrogant and rude. Go out and see the world, you think westerners are model citizens? Give me a break. I am in HK right now and I saw some Canadian guy bitch and cry because the police asked to see his HKID or passport. The little baby was saying "you don't have the right" and all that bullshit, but guess what, they DO have the right. Understanding each other's cultures go both ways, but the way you guys talk, it is starting to make spitting on the street better than your attitudes (by the way, I don't know how many countless times I have seen skater boys and punks spit in front of malls, at bus stops, dt etc). Also you want more clean? At least in HK and SZ they have trash cans everywhere to put your garbage in and if you put your cigarette on the floor, you will get fined if caught. Vancouver?

Well whatever I say, you idiots will just continue to bash or what not. I am sure you guys are setting a fine example of high etiquette standards and being polite. |
RFlush...
I wouldnt compare Revscene clowns with the rest of community.
The majority will welcome tourism from China.
This will benefit Canada in many ways.
The negativity are usually from the ignorant and uneducated.
Dont take it personally... it only feeds the mindless trolls.

i laugh at the logic here bring in the money but not the immigrants.. lol
if they like Canada, they will apply for immigration... With the money they brought in Canada... canadian governemnt are never going to refuse them  It never hurts for Chinese to have Canadian citizenship rather than holding a China passport
thats how it works ... money talks
perhaps you guys should talk about how to raise the bar for immigrantion law first rather than money grabing system that Canada have right now.

well, u all gotta understand the geography and history of China first before stereotyping. China is big & ppl from different areas are different due to their own sub-culture.
