p.s. 連自嘲嘅氣量都無嘅話，就唔該你收皮啦～ 偏偏有好多中國人就連最基本嘅呢樣野都無...

u know the meaning of 自嘲?
even though we are all chinese, obviously, they are different from us.

let me give u an example, I think many U.S people make fun or even do a little insult to their own president(s), but I don't think they will like it if people from other nation do that

I can call myself 電車力, and I wouldn't mind others making good, light fun of me either. Do you suppose I have no idea what self-mockery means?

In terms of self mockery, the US and the UK are indeed masters of this art. The overwhelming majority of Americans wouldn't give a damn about people mocking their own president as long as it is not rooted in prejudice nor racism. Do you ever recall Americans getting ticked off when the entire world started mocking Clinton and his "cigar smoking", and Bush for every little thing he did? The Brits are even more skilled in this as they regularly mock themselves and others. This is the very reason why British humour is so highly acclaimed.

And now look at the Chinese. What were the Shxt Youths' reaction when people make fun of Emperor Jiang? of Jiabao? and most importantly, of Murderer Mao? See what I mean by Chinese not having even the most basic sense of humour in mocking themselves (and being ok with others making fun of them in light hearted manners?)

The day you start calling yourself 蠢薯 is the day you start understanding what self mockery mean.

Your way of viewing Chinese culture is distorted. How do you even know there is no Chinese person in the world who has a sense of humour? This is just a baseless claim of yours. How do you know all the British or Americans feel about Clinton? You are just making baseless claims here and assume that your views are representative of all people. You cannot speak for other people.

LOL~

Do you even know what generalizations and rule of thumb mean? They means something that is generally, but not always, true. Do you want to see results from referendums on every little issue before making any observations? But by your standards, that would still not be enough because not everyone would come out to vote. And wait, do you even know what referendums mean, because it isn't something that can be done in Mainland China (nor even in Hong Kong -- although the same effect can be achieved with a little ingenuity as LSD and the pan-Democrats have done now).

In your books, I guess it is not acceptable to even say things like "men like women", right?

Lik will not admit he is a self-hating Chinese.
