when one opens their mouth to play defensive and twist facts, they usually end up putting their foot in their mouth. hehehe. I've seen so many of those during my investigations and some in court (legal term is perjury). if it's already dead and buried...........let it stay that way. and of course, as we say at work, "get rid of the evidence". hahaha!
and when one belittles another because of the job they hold and/or how much one earns does not make them superior. a good example is law enforcement (including the military) here in the U.S. now, why do you think every country in the world sends their best police officers here to be trained by LAPD officers? that's because LAPD and such agencies still have the best law enforcement training in the world. besides, law enforcement pay here is competitive against salaries for jobs in engineering, management, some medical fields, etc. the best part for me is............we get lots of adrenaline pumping action. thousands apply for the job of a police officer, yet only a select very few gets their commission. educational attainment does not make one bigger than the other fella. bottom line is, it all boils down to what kind of person one is...........and not how much money one have or earn nor how much education one attained. it's how one uses what they've learned in the education of life that really matters. my term for individuals who belittles another (whether it's because of education, social status, wealth, etc.) are "bigots with low self-esteem". those individuals have to talk down another to feel superior.........yet they still end up putting their foot in their mouth. heck, I'm not a rich guy, yet I've traveled half the world and have interacted with people of different cultures. so, I pretty much have an idea on how a lot of people are. hehehe.
Bigot, as defined in dictionary, is someone who is intolerantly convinced of the rightness of a particular opinlon, practice, etc. Like calling another dom 'coz dislikes his style. Either directly or via insinuations or cleverly disguised little farces.
Yes,
bigotry. A disease that's still plaguing the Phil.
Eg,
marrying a young Pinay. Ok, if he's a puti. Not uncommon for a puti retiree to go to the Phil, marry a young Pinay, and live there permanently.
Once read a Cebu newspaper comment by a visiting puti news editor. Walked along CC cbd 1 early morning for a coffee. Still quiet. Went into a cafe. Saw a puti retiree on a rocking chair. A teenage Pinay was sitting on his lap. Being the only customer and also a puti, they weren't embarrassed and carried on.
Later learned Pinay was puti's wife. Pinay's mom owned the cafe. All lived upstairs.
A common Internet-dating site ad is about retirement living in Phil. Marry a young Pinay. Many looking for foreign nationals to marry.
Age is not a problem.
A Pinoy, who'd do something similar, would be called a dom with lecherous inclination.
Needless for me to say more. Look what's happening to me here. A never-ending pissing contest target. And reaching retirement age is still miles away.
Considering further, I'm one of those who packed up their few wordly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life. Sending money home. Helping the Phil perpetually ailing economy.
Is this what we, overseas Pinoys, get in return? Being treated as 2nd class to the puti?
