You're parents should pay more taxes.

Can't take it with you.
I'm feeing because at some point my body will fail me so I really just want to blow money on travel and more travel.
That's just the way they are, grew up in China, been poor most of their lives, they don't want to fancy stuff. They say want to pass it down, but I told them that I sure don't need it. I think they are still stuck in that old tradition of passing down the family name and wealth.
I rather use my wealth to build something lasting, like establish a scholarship foundation for the truly gifted children in china who are too poor attend higher education. Why buy some expensive car that I don't care about when the same money can help change the world?
I think of life as defined by what we do and leave behind.
Rather I hope that maybe I could do something to help bring about the next Newton or Oppenheimer, who for better or worse definitively altered the course of human history.
..And Start Living Like A Real Millionaire by Thomas Stanley
He's so played out. Yeah..'Millionaire Next Door' was a good read. But the sequel and threequel to say the same thing over and over...
It's like when Ambein came out with Ambien CR.. CR stands for Continuous Revenue.
While philanthropy is great, it should be the choice of whoever has the money. I think it should be remembered though that even buying that flashy car or whatever still helps society and the world. After all, someone makes that car, someone makes the steel, someone markets it, someone owns the stock, and on and on. Trade is almost always a net positive thing.
Yup, exactly.
I'm just tired of his "I'm Asian and work harder than you and holier than thou" crap.
So philanthropy is great. And I'd know, because husband and I have actually given away tens of thousands of dollars in the last three years for various things. But I'd certainly never judge people who don't feel called to do that. It's a personal choice. And I still like my expensive purses, bags and shoes. We still go out to dinner and aren't living some ascetic lifestyle. And we definitely don't think we're better than anyone else.
That's nothing!
I have given away millions of dollars, 100's of gallons of blood, all accessory organs, and two vital ones! How? I regrow them of course. How else will I be able to end the organ shortage? What keeps me alive? My smug sense of superiority of course. I will only die after having personally ended the transplant shortage.
You sound like a vampire to me, with this self-healing and regrowing stuff... stay back. I have GARLIC!
Pshhh, as if me being a vampire is not your fantasy.
I know how you woman are with all your Twilight's and True Blood's.

True Blood is awesome. You might be thinking of the vampire diaries or some such nonsense
OK, you're right. Please report to my house dressed as Eric Northman.

How does one dress as a naked man?
Yeah..what we do. Not what we say we'll do "when" to make oneself look good to others.
Yeah? why wait..do it now. So you must live in a 1 room apt and get by and spend all your money on philanthropy today. Right?
Yup, exactly.
I'm just tired of his "I'm Asian and work harder than you and holier than thou" crap.
Clearly we need to have a tutorial on the proper use of "worst" and "worse." See also the other thread.
Damn, typo police is on duty.
I'll paraphrase that guy in the other thread. "It hurts your credibility."
typo hurts my credibility? It's not like i don't know how to use it correctly, has i had done before. Geez. Red herring.
you like that? Should we all go on a typo hunt together? LOL
But my guess is you like fishing, specifically red herring, right?
It's not a red herring, because I'm not doing this as a debate tactic, or trying to distract from your argument, or whatever. I'm straight up poking fun at you. No ulterior motive.
Don't you have better things to do? I can go find your typos... hell we can all do that all day long. Let's turn this into a poke-fun-at-each-other english forum. No ulterior motives my eye.
And you are not full of yourself? You are the worse one on the board! LOL.
I don't see you paying off the student loans for me. If I had money to spare, I would start today.
She can be mean like that. She'll find the most insignificant thing and pick at it until it bleeds.Don't you have better things to do? I can go find your typos... hell we can all do that all day long. Let's turn this into a poke-fun-at-each-other english forum. No ulterior motives my eye.
That is absolutely right. I am full of myself yet I can back it up when it comes to pharmacy.
You? Fresh out of residency know it all.... and have no reason to be so full of it. So go do some work and come back later.
Oh yeah another thing. Drop your "Asian/Chinese" thing. You don't represent all of us.
LOL...oh here come the excuses... talk a good game of saving the humanity but now... he has no money to spare. Nice Crawfishing..

I noticed. Some moderator, right?
Yup, exactly.

I'm allowed to have opinions of my own about things and people. All of our moderator staff members are. But if teasing you about your bad grammar and spelling hurts you so much, I'll stop.
I've met guys like you... try to do psychoanalysis...
yes. you are asian. who gives a ****. yes you grew up poor and worked your ass off.
Had no idea picking on typo is a moderator's job. Hey, whatever floats your boat. Go forth and find all the typos, including your own. Have fun. LOL
Sorry you misunderstood. My opinion of your typing and communication skills are mine and mine alone and have nothing to do with my role as a member of the moderator staff. They are my personal opinion. Since they hurt you so much, I'll stop. Hope that clears things up a bit. Enjoy your day.
Of course all moderators may write a mile long disclaimer for their poor showing. Sorry you had to cover your butt.
Way off. But that's ok, since you don't even know me.
Nobody cares about ribbon. I instruct students to work their ass off and seek success through education. Other people tell that that do the minimum and grades don't matter.
And you bet your ass I'm proud of my asian values and are not afraid to tell it.
