If you do not like the message then you challenge the message and not the messenger. You do not punch below the belt, and you show respect.
Here the messenger is belittled, cursed, insulted and disrespected often without stating any real facts. It is surprising when respect and not offending a person is what is mostly understood from those outside the culture, as how to treat Filipinos want to treated. Where insulting a man can provoke two Filipino into bolo fights. it has just caught me by surprise. That is why I joined this forum, you can not understand Filipinos and the concept of Pinoy syaying only on Kano forums talking with a bunch of Kano drunks and perverts who have their heads up their ass when it come to understanding the Pinoy culture. I am a family man who moved here with his family, so my 14 year old son could understand that part of him that is Filipino.
Thanks for the advice and I will not let it get to me. I do not want to insult or offend any member and still will be respectful even to those who are not, but now I understand. Thank you it was a kind thing to explain it to me. Now I know.
