As Americans say, “love it or leave it!” That’s what Chinese expats in the US would be told if they did nothing but guttersnipe the host country. Buy a one-way ticket, go home and be happy.

Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.

Dear Crow, Thanks for your comments and advice. One in particular was very insightful:

Here’s a thought – if no one has much to say about your supposed opinions, it’s time to stop posting.

Actually, we might have given up a long time ago if we hadn't received so many passionate responses to our posts. Please keep sending in your comments--we all enjoy them very much! Sincerely, Black Pig

Oh, and I forgot to mention. The intensity of your hate for China and its people does not render your apparently long-term residence in China logical. Do take my advice and board the next plane out of the country, and take your stench with you. There are plenty of McDonalds for you to marvel at elsewhere. How quaint. Others blog Chinese cuisine in China. You blog fast food. If you’re an ounce under 300 pounds, I’ll be very much surprised.

Dear TFF, you might be too dazzled by your pride at possessing the intellectual means to create a website for your oh-so-cynical snark, but the purpose and definition of a meaningful blog is to engage wide opinion. On this, I’m afraid to say that you’re faring very poorly. I notice that your happy anti-Chinese venting receives either zero comments or only a scant few, composed either by your own writers, or containing links to…what is this? More articles from your own website?

How bored you ladies and gentlemen must be. Here’s a thought – if no one has much to say about your supposed opinions, it’s time to stop posting. You seem very well-acquainted with Chinese. Perhaps your time being unemployed in the country has helped your language acquisition. In any case, I am sure you are aware of the meaning of this word: 自讨没趣。
