Just a few words? Wow, sounds like you are seriously interested in
Chinese culture.
How many words do you think "a few" means? I don't plan on making
any
long speeches, certainly, just having normal commercial
transactions. I
go with my daughter to her Chinese classes once a week, but she's
learning more than I am at this point.

Thanks for the sarcasm. Are you working from a list of the people
here
who haven't treated you with hostility and mockery so far?

You are welcome! There is no list though. I just call it as I see it.
There is no "hostility" in pointing out that your interest in Chinese
culture is apparently not great enough to make a serious effort
beyond
learning a few words.

I think adopting a child is an admirable and very generous thing to
do. You deserve praise for that. I wonder though, why did you go all
the way to China to adopt a child? Aren't there more than enough
abandoned children right here in the US?

Unbelievable, at least from any person of normal sensibility. I guess
that explains this.

I asked Kip, not you. But as a person of "normal sensitivity", can you
explain why this question is "unbelievable"? Are you telling me there
are no abandoned children in the US who need parents?

That's not the unbelievable part. Are you just enjoying an argument or
are you actually insensitive to the offensive nature of your question?

Oh, I see. Which part is the "unbelievable" part then? That I said
adopting a child is an admirable and generous thing to do? Or that I
said he deserved praise for that?

Ah, you've selected "enjoying an argument". Carry on.
