Why the morally suspicious behaviour of some Vietnamese people? by WillyBaldy
I've had this question for a long time but it's very subtle and not easy to correctly express. I don't want the question to sound like "Why are so many Vietnamese people morally corrupt?" because it's not really want I want ...

She is like MOST people - she was seeing how far she could go. I've had this with long-time professional business people - ALL OF THE TIME. They try to get something for nothing - or very little. IMO... it's the way of the world. Read More

I wouldn't consider Vietnam to be a police state... though I've only been to Da Nang and Hoi An. The police presence is more visible than in the US, but I've never seen anything that could be construed as abuse - and my Vietnamese wife ... Read More

You have a right to your opinions, but you do not speak for me nor do you have the intellect to be Nostradamus and to decide unilaterally what others understand or misunderstand. I did not respond to his post (which i disagree with a lot, despite ... Read More

Not the impression I got from Ciambellla and it is possible you misunderstood her post, but I think Ciambella is best to answer your question.No, YOU misunderstood. His opening line was: "It's getting really irritating listening to mostly ... Read More

@Ciambella, I sincerely appreciate you posting my thoughts on the subject matter because I respectfully disagree with oceanbeach's post. I have tried with less words, but like I said, if others have not experienced others, they will have to ... Read More

My future wife knows I have VERY LITTLE MONEY.The notion of "no money" for you can be very different than the notion of "Westerner with no money" for a local Vietnamese. Just your citizenship can be worth a lot for her in the ... Read More

And your right the ones still married get their monthly beating and go back to get beat again because they feel they have no options. Granted that is why they like us Western guys. We stay home, do not need to pound on things except our meat ... Read More
