Unkotare would become so frustrated that he would tell us we are all ignorant robots......
This truth applies in the societal context. A problem arises when we consider the nature and quality of most people's internal dialog.A basic understanding of logic and a certain degree of mature reasoning ability are required to have a serious discussion about anything.
Science proves that you post ignorant nonsense. Robots are part of the survival instinct in nature. Humans are not an exception.I would defy anyone to spend a significant amount of time with these students - real human beings, not placeholders for simple stereotypes clung to by the weak-minded - and still repeat this asinine "robot" bullshit. That's how false impressions always seem to go.

You are the epitome of what is wrong with the internet, and in extension, American society. Even when you are presented with undeniable proof, you continue to insist the science is wrong and you are the only one who is not ignorant.
You are the one who ruined what could have been a great thread.

It is stupid for Americans to argue the point with Maggdy who claims to have went to school in China and made an excellent case for 96% of the students being myopic. i.e., lacking imagination, foresight, or intellectual insight.`

In news/political forums like this, throughout the US at least, it is inhabited by a majority of hyper-partisan zealots. They live in a complete dichotomy. Everything is either their way or it is viewed as automatically wrong.There is no gray area, as it's almost the case with most humans. If you don't believe in exactly what they do, you become the enemy. There is no individualism, just the mindless group-think. They are not here for dialogue or discussion. They are here for the sole purpose of arguing their point and/or belittling those who don't agree with them.
Some wannabe philosopher calls it ignorant nonsense simply because he refuses to accept the fact that real life experience trumps opinion.
We all have our own idiosyncrasies but there are very few of us who would remain seated when the bell rang. We are outcasts for not being robots but we make great designers because we always think out of the box. I'm not constrained by man-made borders or walls. I live by my own set of rules. A subset of the counterculture.It is stupid for Americans to argue the point with Maggdy who claims to have went to school in China and made an excellent case for 96% of the students being myopic. i.e., lacking imagination, foresight, or intellectual insight.`

I won't say that the student's aren't myopic, but sometimes one needs to get very close to a thing to notice it's differences. What seems simple from far away maybe much more complex up close. The students may seem to us to be repetitive, but we don't do what they do. To them the nuance in their actions maybe as complex as all the variety in the U.S.A.'s current office attire (There's probably a better example).
I have noted with some exasperation that many here fall into easy cliches about 'the West' and 'the East' in regards to generalizations about things like "respect," "individuality," "filial piety," "independence," "community," and the like. Not long ago a poster - of the same ilk as those who dismiss other people as "robots" or fear high expectations for children - stated as if an indisputable truth that "certainly in ancient China there was no individualism" or something to that effect. Facile and simplistic declarations like that are the foundation of ignorance and misunderstanding of peoples.
Because the Chinese are all the same. Kids wear uniforms at school and do the same for their leisure time.
....
If all Chinese were "the same" because they look the same on the outside,....
Did you really post this fucking nonsense?
