| @john - take it easy mate... @db - once again, you have agreed with my post - no substantaited data exists. Your real-experiences lack the appropriate sample size to be validly considered data (China's population is >1.4bln - foreginer population reading this blog? I'm not really sure)... everyone is entitled to their own opinions on any topic, and I encourage and applaud open debate (when it is meaningful). To post % numbers that are just subjective opinion is just down-right silly. As a statistican, I cannot accept opinion stated in terms of data... it is valid for a person to say something like "in my experience, most of the people I know..." or "I've witnessed a large % of people..." etc... but to quote actual numbers with no further substantiation of where they are derived - this is inadequate and ignorant... I merely asked the question "where did u get the data from?" - why are u so excited about me asking the question?? Have an opinion sure, but you cannot convince me that using data that is flawed or has no substance can lead to meaningful debate. Your real-life experiences (not data, by definition) help form your subjective opinion (which is absolutely fine), but in no way can be representative of the entire population of China or mixed-country relationships. PERIOD!! As far as "AussiePB" bashing - actually, MrMa (who was not the original poster of the 'data') suggested I lacked commonsense by asking the source of the data - I used the commonsense angle back to him - then you (unprovoked by me), used it also on me (by the way, "ditto" is spelled with two t's)... yeepee's comments then further inflamed this 'mini attack' by you. Let's leave it at that - we obviously disagree on this topic, and we are both entitled to our opinion - but please just re-read my post asking where the data came from (as I asked you to before) - you seem to have misinterpreted my question as something to be offended by or to warrant your 'mini attack'. Take care... |
