Why do we need a special name for Cold America?
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

That's a tough question but as they are both communist countries I must say that I am comfortable with being both Chinese and Canadian.

It's not rude if you apologize

I've never been near a railroad.

I type fast because of genetics.

Authentic Chinese food is okay but in my opinion the most boring of oriental cuisine

fish sauce has nothing to do with teriyaki..

I'm also pretty sure fish sauce has no sugar in it either.

If Chinese are Communists and Canadians are Communists as well, does being a Chinese-Canadian make you a double Commie or do they cancel each other out?

What you need to remember is,  the best bubble tea place is the place with the cutest female sales rep.

This is honestly the most important factor..  the tea makes little difference, the recipe is so simple that the majority of places does it good-enough...
