    That's pretty much why I moved to Asia, is it for everyone? Absolutely not, there is a major cultural change and people who aren't open minded or adjust to change easily would get crushed. I lived in Manila for 4 months before I found my job in Taipei. I teach English and ride the bus sometimes an hour each way but I usually don't work more than 4 hours a day and I make decent pay working about 20-23 hours a week. Generally things close around 9:30-10PM except the disgusting food stalls on the street that sell intestinal meat and innards. The trains and buses stop at midnight and unless if you have a moped you are kind of stuck but I like it. My neighborhood has a high concentration of Vietnamese, Indonesian and Filipinos and honestly I kind of like the Vietnamese, they are attractive and they like the white guys because the Taiwanese treat them like shit because they are imported labor so if you treat them a little respectfully they are really great to you. But living over here if you get offended easily you will not like it at all, people have no common sense and how you feel really doesn't matter. They are also pretty funny in the fact that today I was teaching my kids about what perverts are.... I kid you not this was right out of my textbook. Could you imagine how many parents would scream faux outrage over this? I had a middle school girl tell me she was going to buy her parents AV DVD's for their birthday... AV is Japanese porn...lol.

    I like reading your posts. I was very close to moving to Japan to teach engrish.

    I work with a lot clients from Asia in my job and your comment about how a person feels doesn't really matter to them is so true... and that's one of the things I personally love about Asian culture.

    Too many people worrying about feelings/emotions here in the U.S.. It wasn't always like that and its getting worse.

    I went to Osaka in December and it was amazing, I loved it. I'd nailed a few authentic Japanese girls when I was in college (we had a large influx of them at my school and they go crazy for the American meat and were much more promiscuous then their Korean counterparts ) but Osaka was amazing. I have a buddy in Fukuoka who teaches English and he gets lucky quite a bit. My ideal choice would have been Japan but Taiwan has it's perks but it's not nearly as cool as Japan. You should do it, you will not regret it. The only thing I regret is that I didn't do this earlier in life. If I wasn't so in debt from student loans and credit cards I'd be living like I Drake over here.

    I love it, I hate the pussification of America, I have kids telling me I'm fat, one of our lessons are who is ugly and who is fat? Who is pretty , I can essentially tell any of my co-teachers (usually locals) they are beautiful or they look nice today and not have to worry about it "offending" her or I can joke around with my high school kids calling one f them ugly or joke with them that so and so is their boyfriend and there is no overbearing parent who fakes being outraged.

    The adults tell you how they feel , I approached a hooker who basically told me she won't fuck a foreigner because she is afraid it will tear her up and make her useless. I laughed my ass off with that

    If not for my son I don't think I'd ever move back to the US. I work a part time job and make full time money and have amazing health insurance. Plus there is so many different places to see in Asia and the land of Oz isn't that far away.

    For once and for all can Patsfags stop with at least ONE of their bullshit red herrings?

    The balls were PROPERLY GAUGED by Referee Walt Anderson himself. And there is no reason to document the gauging--they either pass or are taken out of the game.

    Poof.

    NFL: Ref inspected balls properly before AFC title game

    PHOENIX (AP) — NFL officiating chief Dean Blandino says the inspection of the footballs by referee Walt Anderson before the AFC championship game was handled properly.

    Blandino also said Thursday the process of checking the footballs and security surrounding the inspections will be enhanced for Sunday’s Super Bowl.


    As the league’s investigation into the Patriots’ use of under-inflated footballs moves along, Blandino made it clear the officiating crew for New England’s win over Indianapolis did its job.

    “My major concern is did we follow proper protocol?” Blandino said.
    “Everything was properly tested and marked before the game. Walt gauged the footballs himself; it is something he has done throughout his career.

    “Officiating is not part of the investigation.”

    Super Bowl referee Bill Vinovich and his staff will be looking over a lot more footballs this week.

    Normally, 12 balls per team are brought to the officials’ locker room before a game, where they are tested and marked by the referee. This week, each team gets 54 footballs — many are given to charity after brief game usage — and all of them will be taken into custody by the NFL on Friday after the Seahawks and Patriots have prepared them.

    The footballs will be inspected by Vinovich three hours before kickoff, and Blandino said there will be “added security because of the environment we are in for this game.”

    “It will not quite be like (protecting) the Stanley Cup, but there will be added security,” he said.

    Bears head equipment manager Tony Medlin will be charged with guarding the footballs from Friday until he brings them to the stadium for Vinovich to inspect.

    Just before kickoff, the footballs will be given to ball boys working the game. The host team for the Super Bowl, in this case the Cardinals, supplies the ball boys, along with one from each of the participating teams.

    Blandino also promised the league will look into any changes of the specifications for the balls and how they are handled for games. The air pressure is not logged after inspection; the balls simply are marked as having passed, and ones that don’t are put aside.

    “It’s not unusual for a ball to be removed from circulation,” he said.

    Rules concerning how much air pressure should be in the footballs date back to the 1930s. The league will consult with the manufacturer, Wilson, about the range of air pressure during the offseason.

    Many of the current procedures were put in place years ago because the league found footballs were being manipulated for the kicking game. Thus, the K-balls that are used only for special teams were introduced to avoid over inflation that helped with the lift on kicks.

    Blandino understands the furor that has surrounded the deflation issue.

    “It’s something that’s a good story,” he admitted. “The NFL is being scrutinized and we’re at the pinnacle of our game, the Super Bowl, and everything will be magnified.”

    What does Walt Anderson know about science that only affects one side of the field for one half of an NFL game?

    Exactly. If Anderson can't explain that then the Pats are off scott free.

    Right?

    Exactly. This Bozo only wants complacency by the fans and compliance by the players so he can continue the snow job. No wonder kraft loves him. The real fans only hope is the press exposes him for what he is.
