whoever said that I didn't speak the language?...i do, but thats besides the fact. I think you better run a search on "ignorance" as it relates to human race....if i'm waay off, i apologize, please help me understand.

It was a rhetorical question. not every asian speaks chinese or knows self-defense...i mean "kung fu".

P.s. this isn't a discussion as to whether or not my paint is acceptable to you or not....we're talking stereotypes.

You're right, the facts say a lot. That's why so many people rely on Wikipedia.

Look at this forum for example, people can't even agree if an engine flush is fantastic or the stupidest thing you can do...

but yes. to each his own.

Actually in China a more realistic self defense is Tai-Chi. Kung fu is traditionally taught as a hard martial art, one to attack.

Yes not every Asian speaks Chinese, not even every Chinese person speaks the same Chinese. It's a macrolanguage.

I never said if your tattoo was acceptable or not? I merely asked if you knew the language. Personally I wouldn't get a tattoo of a different language unless I understood the language (speak spell write). But who gives a **** if i have a tattoo or not, as I am not looking for acceptance of anything.

You're right, you didn't mention anything about my tat being acceptable or not....it was a response to someone else's remark. Yes, I do know the language. I can agree with that. I probably wouldn't get one in another language either. I can give two flying f^cks about anyone elses tattoos, I'M not the one that has to look at it everyday. I'm worried about my own. Actually, i copy what you're saying...this stems from discoxd's remarks...."kung fu". Has nothing to do with acceptance. Has to do with respect.

lol....you could, but then again you could probably use it to clear food in the gaps where you're missing teeth. haha, "shortbus", how fitting. What, did you win that disco at a beer festival?
