believe me, there are stupid jews and stupid chinese, eg. william hung Laughing just like dan nainan says "just when asians were starting to be cool this guy(william hung) comes along and spoils it for us all"

monoslayer SG

william hung is not stupid.. fyi, he is a civil engineering student at University of California, Berkeley (top 10 uni in the world).. can u get into tat uni?? if u cant den r u more stupid den stupid?? Rolling Eyes

vito_corleone SG

hey stupid, there is no such thing as a ranking in the american university system. oh and by the way, stupidity is not confined to incompetent intellect, stupidity can be in the form of actions too

monoslayer SG

on wat basis u say william hung is stupid? support ur statement wif evidence.. his actions help him make big bucks in the media industries.. can u?

vito_corleone SG

on the basis that his actions are awkward. however if people who may share similar characteristics such as a blotched face and silly hand gestures such as yourself think that its a good thing by all means do so. and how much exactly is hung making? he has disappeared from the entertainment scene and his album never really took off. a gimmick is different from a success. as for can i, my family and hence me, currently have a terrace(under renovation), a penthouse condo and a volvo s80, total estimated worth in terms of these properties i'd say around 2 million. does hung have this? Rolling Eyes don't believe meet me up i can take you on a personal tour Cool

monoslayer SG

pls dun anyhow quote me.. i didnt say "his blotched face and silly hand gestures" r a good thing.. i merely disagree wif u saying he is stupid.. if u wanna criticize him, den pls support ur comments wif evidence n prove ur statement abt him being stupid is justified..

vito_corleone SG

you want evidence watch his audition video lor. if those actions are not stupid to you then by all means suit yourself Laughing

monoslayer SG

mayb his actions seems stupid to u.. but tat doesnt prove he is stupid.. in fact, i tink he is smart.. he knew wif his qualities, he cant win the contest.. so he did the extreme n stand out among the rest..

btw, pls dun anyhow call me names.. i didnt say the ranking was based on the american university system.. i got the info from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Times_Higher_Education_Supplement#General_rankings_2005
so if u tink University of California, Berkeley is not a top 10 uni in the world, pls contact, The Times Higher Education Supplement.. also known as The Times Higher or The THES for short.. it is a newspaper based in London that reports specifically on issues related to higher education..

chillz88 SG

Ahh earlier you guys said that Chinese are smart. Now smart Chinese are quarrelling against each other? Laughing Cool it down dudes... Very Happy

CKeer SG

Don't be racist la.
As long as u work hard n a little help of fortune, u may well be up there too.

Cheers.
C.K

Jerina SG

Ppl are laughing at William Hung, for God's sake. He may not be stupid but he's geeky.And so totally uncool.

Btw, have you watched the much-publicised Connie Chung video?? It's totally embarrassing to us Asians!!

Why on earth do these ppl keep doing stupid things to embarrass us Asians????? *covers face in horror*

vito_corleone SG

did they tell you that its also a newspaper that nobody really bothers about and it conducted a ranking on zero common basis, this topic has been debated thousands of times over in so many forums.

vito_corleone SG

chinese have been at each other's necks throughout history Laughing
