What do you see ?

I was reading an article written by Ivan with his political views...and I have to say I was quite impressed with his logics whenever it comes to issues he is interested in. It almost felt like the writing style and the way he presents his thoughts can change completely compared to his normal everyday writings. I have a weird bro indeed....not really sure why he was all into politics ever since he was in elementary school....hum....(but I guess I am still quite proud of him to some extend :p)

I have to admit racial issues are very difficult to deal with. You can never really explain your points of view to people who just didn't grow up in the same environment. I don't even bother to communicate with Wai-Sheng people if I don't have to....(just because I basically know what they think and I don't see a point trying to convince them of anything.) You rarely find people who are willing to dig deep and understand the opponent's thinking / culture based on backgrounds which they don't agree with....(and seriously that is why it gets tiring/irritating when people discuss things which they don't really have a thorough investigation/understanding with.) I guess media nowadays play a big role of mixing/messing with information as well. Nobody is truly sure of anything if you ask for my opinion....

My student's parent was asking me if the Green would at least win in the south. (How would I know really?) She told me many people from her fellowship went back to TW just to vote. I was amused about it cuz it's coming from the Taiwanese congregation, and I couldn't help wonder how many of the Wai-sheng people went back to vote for the blue as well. I seriously don't get people who do not consider their own country a country. I don't know why they would not just move back to China since China seems to welcome them nicely....(If China really means what they say that is...) If returning to the roots means so much then I guess all of them should immigrate back to China. If a leader of one country considers his own country a part of greater authority, then why does he even bother to get elected as the president? so he can show his pretty face whenever there is a conference?

I guess the blue will still win this time since most of the TW people cannot look beyond the 8 years which all people had to suffer due to the drastic change in political parties. It's just human to only see things that is right in front of us. After all most of us can't even think beyond lunch....When the economy is bad, everything is bad....not sure how many people can look at it as an opportunity to invest when everything is at the bottom...even when Pastor Jim is talking about it every Sun. We are just humans...kinda depressing but nonetheless true.....
