For anyone who missed this photo on the thread that was. Here is a photo of Bush ( and Putin ) showing the proper way to look statesmanlike,  when meeting the Chinese.

More importantly why did you start the same thread as FatDomSaniddy did...Isn't that against tos?

Maybe beause all of the bitching you did to the mods got it moved before he could see it???

The fact is... you would have NEVER allowed Bush 43 get away with bowing to the Chi-Coms without roasting him live on the boards.

And look.... you will not have to worry about President Obama disappointing you for much longer, he will only be cowtowing to the next Republican Congress for two years before he gets defeated by one of the largest margins in US History... if he even runs again.

So, is that Jungian or Freudian analysis or what? No chance that apriori he was being polite in the form of their culture?

I have enough girls analyzing the 'hidden and real' reason I want blowjobs, don't need neocons adding to the irritations. Some shit is just plain fuckin simple and direct.

I have come to the conclusion that this is a psychological expression not so much of his shame in being American but of his realization of his own weakness and lack of experience,

We have a list of his accomplishments...may we have a list of yours?

of his subconcious admission that he cannot stand up to them.

Was there something in particular that you wanted him to stand up to them about?

I wonder if he has night sweats and nightmares of drowning.

You seem to know a lot about night sweats and nightmares of drowning.  Is this something you also suffer?

Alright, relax a bit there buddy, it was hardly the insult of the century and definitely not meant in as serious a tone as you took it.  No need to rush to my profile to try to find ammunition to attack my character and then just start making shit up when you find nothing useful there.  But I am curious, do you really think you can characterize my one tiny post as 'sticking my nose' into your business when the two of you consumed every third post for several pages (and twice that in the thread I was browsing immediately previously) with nearly identical reiterations of "You're an ignorant ass." and "Prove I'm an ignorant ass!"?  This is a public board - any 'business' you bring here you clearly want people to see, or else you'd presumably use the private messages that are all of two clicks away. 

You can't have it both ways, champ - you can't try to use the forum as a means to gain some sort of public victory in your petty (and clearly ongoing) contest of wills with mike and then cry foul when the rest of us (and you'll note I was not the first one) make half-assed attempts to pry you apart because we're tired of scrolling through the whiny, repetitive little squabble.   And again, the attempt was meant light-heartedly at the time.  Clearly I touched upon an issue with the implication that you were gay, since you flew off the handle and made a point of trying to reverse it on me, so I suppose for that I should apologize if it got that far under your skin, but really, what year do you live in that the tired old "Will you two get a room?"  line rankles you that much?  I have no idea what started this little flame war between you and mike, but given he took the innocuous comment for what it was and let it slide off his back with only a little joke, I think I can fairly well guess who got all twitchy and insulting first in your debate with him.

And yes, sure, I might just as well have come down on Merc and Domi, but then that little personal battle is occasionally punctuated by something funny said by DG or one of them actually addressing the subject matter of the thread.

It rankles me not at all.
It does seem that you can't take what you so freely dish out.
Why is it that you feel you can make snide remarks to me but feel put upon if I return the favor?

I would like a president who can stand up straight, especially when meeting with dictators and tyrants.

Sanity,
Here in Asia, bowing is like shaking hands. To refuse to bow would be akin to refusing to take a hand when it is offered. It would be a deep insult. Asians view touch very differently than we do. It is only done when people are close - friends / family. That Asian leaders shake hands is a great step in their meeting a western leader half way. We need to recognize that. You cannot apply your cultural norms to a person of another culture.

Beyond that, if there is no conversation whatsoever, then there is no change.

Best,
sunshine
