Things could be worse in Taiwan

I always laugh when I see this photo.  It really goes to show that while traffic in Taiwan sucks, it can be a lot worse.  Here is a famous photo of a

Traffic jam in Lanzhou

  WTF U-Bahn? Why are you


 

WTF U-Bahn? Why are you telling him to chill out? He didn't say it was Taiwan. He wasn't angry. He wasn't bitching about anyone.
He was basically saying that we should be happy we don't live in a place with traffic like Lanzhou, China.

You should chill out dude.

The title of the photo says

The title of the photo says it's from "Lanzhou". He's also saying that we complain about the traffic here but it's much worse in other places.

I was hoping people would

I was hoping people would enjoy the photo for what it's worth.  I didn't realize it would be controversial. 

I'm sorry to say that I'll have add it to the list of things that we will resolve when we reach the financial goals of the site.  I have to be honest, the way the system is set up only the administrator has access to deleting or editing comments.  If I turned it on, everyone would have access to everyone else's comments and things would get ugly. 

So, sorry that this function is a bit limited.  It is duly noted, and when we can hire someone to make this and other changes to the site we will. 

My advice for now is to preview your comment before posting it and make sure it is what you want. 

So you admit you are an

So you admit you are an idiot?

I'm not sure if that was

I'm not sure if that was meant for me but I'll bite.  Sure, I'll admit that I'm an idiot.  

now back to my point of

now back to my point of view,
I don't think the traffic in Taiwan sucks and to show a photo in which someone, I don't care who,
makes this reference is not ok with me.

I have no problems with the traffic here, lots of idiots including my self on the street, so what.

Where is the reference point of argument, Germany with all their rules and laws and it takes you for ever to get a license but as I am correctly informed, Germany has still one of the highest reported death rates in the world due to poor driving.

Ok let's put it this way, I am just very sensitive and tired about this continuously, Taiwan this Taiwan that, what good does it serve the community please????

If we do good and see the good in others, perhaps then we can move forward but the indirect stuff is as direct as saying it out loud.

The best experience I had lately for recognizing the good in peoples action, please see:

Since there have been changes made on this bulletin, please delete bottom that would help, thanks.

Cheers

Jazz my post was referring

Jazz my post was referring to U-Bahn. The smartest man in Tainan.

  I think what U-Bahn is


 

I think what U-Bahn is trying to say is that everyone should stop talking about Taiwan and instead focus on how horrible those Germans are.

Damn those Germans! Always making good cars and driving them too fast! Always being the bad guys in the movies. Why can't they play good guys? Always pooping on perfectly good women in porn movies. Don't even get me started on their love of David Hasselhoff.
Germans love David Hasselhoff.

No wonder they love

No wonder they love Hasselhoff so much. Look at those stunning graphics. And thanks a lot, Neo. I'm gonna have the hucka-chaka-hucka-chaka going through my head all day.

I did have a chance to drive through Germany once. Jeebus, those cars drive awesome in other countries but in their own element they fly like low flying aircraft. I was driving a Ford Focus at what I thought was an incredible 140 clicks. BMW's, Benzes and Porches were passing me as if I were taking a Sunday stroll in the park.

robert, same over here, when

robert,

same over here, when I went back and drove a 160 km/h, man they scared the shit out of me, I had to change clothes and they had probably had a nice laughter seeing me sweat.

Hasselhoff,... come on he rocks :)

By the way before he was big in Germany, he had already a big name in another country and I wonder where that was ???

Jazz,... Al is right I am an idiot and I am sorry that you have to deal with people like me.
Obviously you really exclude us from your horizon of awareness, I am sorry but I am an idiot, so will you help us out, us the retarded people, or what ???
Thanks so much.

Me the retard.

I've already proclaimed

I've already proclaimed being an idiot so I think I can skate a bit . 

Most of the times, I simply

Most of the times, I simply skip U-Bahn's messages due to my lack of intelligence. I simply cannot comprehend OR decipher them, further, due to lack of financial resources, I would hate to consult a "soothsayer" or an orcale, to see, what EXACTLY DO THEY MEAN! :)

Bugsy, yeah right, I feel

Bugsy,

yeah right, I feel the same way, my mind is not always where I want it to be and I only see that after some time and I am pretty disappointed with me, thats why, yahoo invented for their bulletins the delete bottom that people like me have a fighting chance but well my apology.

Anyhow, you know there are people that can articulate themselves really well, when the write or speak but no matter what they say, it is just condescending in nature, isn't it.

Or I read posts like that, the pollution in Tainan is really bad and a marble of written composition, I am blown away by the writes ability to articulate him or herself so well, however then the author adds, I live on Minzu Rd corner to Yonfu,...
:)

Oracle,... well I look at a tea bag how it slides down the wall after I throw it on it, to see what the future will hold for me, good that all the walls in the kitchen are tiled, less to clean up afterwards.

Decipher,... yes I like that one, totally... :))
but that would mean, I would have to have a clue to begin with, what normal language means
