quote: To that I would definitely add the Philippines. Their scams are more subtle though. Basically they seem to have a very mercenary attitude and are looking for someone to support them and their entire extended family. If you and your family came from grinding poverty and you married someone incredibly wealthy by your standards, wouldn't you want to use marital assets to help your family back home? (I served in Okinawa and am familiar with this mindset but, as you can see, interpret it as humanitarian rather than mercenary.)

You know, in the larger context, I've been wondering lately how well I do at actually reading someone's post... reading with the intent to understand. It's so easy to get all high and mighty when some 19 year old master comes here to ask a question or someone with a vastly different viewpoint makes a statement. But I wonder if I'm really trying to understand their statement AND the viewpoint in which it makes sense or am I just getting all bitchy because this is the internet and we can do such things here. If someone comes here and wants to talk about finding a real master then obviously there is some meaningful concept in his her or head when they wrote that... whether or not they wrote it well. In fact, we can all more or less figure out what they mean. It would be trivial to gently coach them in why the word "real" is really ambiguous and how better to express what they are seeking. note to self: try to do better.
