For some reason I can't access the wireless on the second floor, or in
my room. It's becoming quite agitating, since no one else seems to be
having a problem. What could it possibly be at this point, that makes
my laptop so different? It knows there are networks, and the signal is
good, but it just won't connect for some reason.
Anyway... I went to Luodai (Ancient Town) yesterday. It was
emotionally taxing, because I got lost, had to call a friend to speak
Sichuanhua for me, and it was just extremely humiliating and
embarrassing, to the point of tears. My question is, who in this
country is worthy of keeping their face? Because I'm doubting it's
foreigners... sigh.
Anyway, just read an article on the anti-U.S. protests in Egypt and
Libya and saw this:
"'I just want to say, how would the Americans feel if films insulting
leading Christian figures like the pope or historical figures like
Abraham Lincoln were produced?'"
Would such insults include Jesus Christ Superstar? Or Abraham Lincoln:
Vampire Hunter? Does it take likening someone to a child molester or
rapist? Because as an American, I could certainly care less what you
say about Jesus... I'm not Christian. And I could certainly care less
about Lincoln; I didn't know the man. In the ways he affected me most,
his intentions weren't the most pure. Why not just focus the tirades
against White (Conservative, Right Wing/Supremacist) America? Because
there is clearly no parallel here to the prophet Mohammed.
If there were, maybe such idiocy wouldn't bubble up so constantly...
really, wtf America. Have some Goddamn common sense already. You put
so many people in danger with your callous bullshit.
