在美國體驗和諧社會 (ZT)

Mythologist: you are so cocky but ignorant that it is not even funny.  What you said is some old dogma that even middle school kids knows, i guess your 20 yr reeducation in US didn't teach you something I don't know.
I did not brag about how rich I am, you did, and I just use the number to make a point. Besides, what you bragged about is honestly nothing.

you are obviously not happy about how the society is going and rave about anything that can shadow America's greatness. I think it is justified to call you a hypocrit.

I am an immigrant, while I love china, I appreciate my new country and the opportunity that they have given me and millions of oversea chinese to pursue their dreams and prosper themselves. You obviously benefit a lot from this country, and what we call those people that is unappreciate but take advantage of the situation?  You are the writer, you should know the right word, in both english and in chinese.

By the way, I checked the YYYYY zip code on googlemap, it came back unsurprisingly "zip code YYYYY,  ****ville".

Hi johndoe23, slow down. Do you read English?

My post #39 is an answer to your post #35, in which you expressed that you loved this country becasue "...the excellent highway systems, the most uncorrupted government system, the best health care system, the best science and development institutes/projects in the world...

To me, you were saying you love this country becasue 1, you feel comfortable (best healthcare system); 2, you feel convenient (excellent highway system); and 3, you feel being taken good cared of (the most uncorrupted government system, the best science and development institutes/projects in the world ). The first two are related to a person's physiological (body) needs, and last one is about safety/security needs according to the well-known psychologist; in other words, you are satisfied because your needs in this country, the two most basic needs, are met.

It seemed to me you don't have higher levels of needs, at least you didn't mention you have. Those levels are:
Social Needs: the needs for belonging, for association, for acceptance, giving and receving friendship;
Esteem Needs: the needs for self-confidence, for independence, for competence, for status, for recognition, for appreciation, and for the deserved respect of one's fellows.
Self-fulfillment Needs: the needs for realize one's own potentialities, for continued self-development, for being creative...

When I passed the lowest levels and moved towards the higher levels of needs, I met difficulties. Perhaps that was the reason I couldn't be as happy, as content as you are. You see, we have diffenent needs and it is those different needs that separate you from me.

You completely didn't comprehend what I meant. Are you capable to? I hope you are. Otherwise, I wasted my time writing this post.

I said nothing, absolutely nothing about your bragging your money. I said that you bragged your satisfaction of the most base (physiological) needs of a humanoid. In other words, you bragged your being comfortable, your being convienient, and your being taken good care of. Better?

Read carefully before you bark, so you don't bark at the wrong tree. Your friend is much better than you are. He at least has a level head, sees deeper than you do.

johndoe23:

This is a public internet site, your posts here are reviewed by a lot of people, not just me.

I assumed readers, who are interested in reading this thread, would like to read something reflecting higher level of thinking and reasoning. Make you posts more that way.

No, I skimed through your post, reading it is a waste of my time. It has not content in it whatsoever.

Thank you very much.

By the way, everybody, if you can enjoy your life, do so. Like this quotation "Je veux tout vivre avant qu'il soit trop tard (I want all to live before it is too late).

I really didn't try to ruin anybody's enjoyment of life. On the other hand, sometimes you feel you need more, not just an easy life, you are not alone. I have been there.
