in any case, the pleasure to be derived from expensive possessions is not so simple or direct. they are basically a means to an end; the glamour they acquire is shed upon them by some glamorous third party.

| Good Question, Vietnam |
[Nov. 22nd, 2006|12:06 pm] |
From Harper's: http://www.harpers.org/GoodQuestionVietnam.html
Posted on Wednesday, November 15, 2006. From questions submitted by Vietnamese people to the U.S.-Indochina Educational Foundation for its “FAQ About America” project. Originally from Harper's Magazine, January 2005.
I took it upon myself to answer these. For fun.
When did your culture form?
Around the 18th century enlightenment. It's all about me, me, me.
What does a typical American look like? Do actors and actresses in Hollywood movies possess characteristics of a typical American?
There is no such thing as typical American, though the cast of Happy Days would be a close proximity. I don't know what actors and actresses are like. They play fictional characters. So, yes. Like the typical American, they are good at faking it.
What is Hollywood?
Hollywood is a neighborhood located in Los Angeles in California. It's not a particularly nice neighborhood, though it is home to some of the major film and television studios. I used to go dancing there quite frequently, and enjoyed shopping on Melrose Ave.
There are many sexy scenes in American movies. Does that reflect the daily lives of Americans?
No. Most Americans sit on their asses and watch these movies as opposed to doing anything sexy.
How many people in the U.S.A. like to drink Coke?
Many. It's good mixed with rum or whiskey.
Why are American presidents so bellicose?
I just want to say... I am a college graduate and I had to look up bellicose. Maybe that's why they are so bellicose, cause people like you throw big words at us and make us go to dictionary.com. Assholes.
Does the U.S. really wish for peace and happiness for other countries, as they always announce in public?
We wish for peace and happiness so much that we are willing to kill half the world for it. Yeah, that's a lot of wish!
What do Americans think about Communists?
Hates them, though could not tell you why.
People say that Americans look down on people of color and people from Third World countries. Is that true?
Yes, it's much easier to take advantage of people when you think you are better than them. White Man's Burden ftw.
Are Americans extravagant?
They all long to be.
Americans are very combative, aren’t they?
Not by themselves. In fact, most Americans are very nice, friendly people. But get them in a group and they can be trouble.
Why do many Americans like to be single nowadays?
How else are they supposed to lick it, hit it and split it?
Americans seem to be superficial and not sincere. What do you think about this?
Your mom seems superficial and not sincere. So ha!
Do you think using an excessive amount of slang will gradually destroy the beauty of the English language?
Fuck off.
What will happen if the American president doesn’t carry out the promises that he made in the campaign?
I think the more important question is what will happen if they do?
What percentage of the U.S. population wants to be a good friend of Vietnam in all fields?
I am not sure how one can be friends with a country. But I can guess not a large percent... we are still a little peeved about that war that we couldn't win. But I would love to be friends with Vietnam, bet it throws some great birthday parties.
How can the post-traumatic stress disorder be solved? What are the U.S. responsibilities in solving it?
I don't know that PSTD can be cured. And the U.S. rarely takes responsibilities for its actions, why would this be any different?
Why does America appear to be the major factor of almost every war?
America has taken upon itself the duty of the "world police" when it suits their needs. Which is most of the time.
Which aspects of life are American people most interested in?
Americans, when it comes down to it, just want what any human being truly wants: to live a happy, peaceful life and see their childran grow up safe and content. Though other things get in the way, like ideals, materialism and the consequences of both. When it really comes down to it, they are just like everyone else.
I have learned America is a free country; what is the real freedom in this country?
I don't know what freedom truly means, I don't know whether it is worth killing for, I don't even know if it is worth dying for. |

ENFP - The Champion
You scored 90% I to E, 15% N to S, 4% F to T, and 84% J to P!
|
Your type is known as the Champion type, which is part of the larger group called idealists. Nothing occurs that does not have some deep and ethical significance in your eyes. You see life as an exciting drama. You are very charismatic, yet tend to be too harsh on yourself for not being as genuine as you think you should be. 3% of the population shares your type.
As a romantic partner, you need to talk about what is going on in your life. You are a strong supporter for your partner's efforts to grow and change and be happy. You need to feel that same support from your partner. Expressive, optimistic, and curious, you are eager to enjoy new experiences with your partner, whom you wish to be your confidant and soul mate, as well as play mate. You are uncomfortable sharing negative emotion, though, and tend to withdraw from confrontation and process your feelings privately. You feel most loved when your partner appreciates your creativity, accepts your uniqueness, and sees you as the compassionate person you are. You need to hear your partner tell you how much you mean to them and would love if they did thoughtful spontaneous things to demonstrate it.
Your group summary: idealists (NF)
Your type summary: ENFP

1] Is there someone who you like at the moment?
yes. and i think he might suspect something... the whole 10 months of dating might be a clue.
2] Have you ever given or been given roses?
oh man, have i ever.
there have been some mighty dramatic situations involved with many a rose giving. they are the guilt roses, the don't-leave-me roses, the bitter roses with the heads cut off... and then there are the roses that just sweep you right off your feet with sentimental heart pulls. then there was one from this guy... who i didn't like at all... with a card in which he spelled my name wrong: gio.
3] What is your all time favorite romance movie?
royal tenenbaums. adopted incest has never been so romantic.
4] How many times can you honestly say you've been in love?
thrice, they were each more wonderful than the last. i love being in love.
5] Do you believe that everyone has a soul-mate?
i think everyone has soulmates. many possibilites for love.
6] Do you think that you should become friends with someone first?
i like to. though my last two didn't start off that way.
7] Have you ever had your heart broken?
yes, but i always manage to glue it back together. [i am extremely handy with a glue gun]
8] What do you think about long-distance relationships?
i can't handle it. i just can't. i know my limitations.
9] Your thoughts on online relationships?
i don't think they are real till a face-to-face happens. but they have a potential to be great.
10] Would you rather date someone five years older or five years younger?
older. i don't like the barely legal look.
11] Have you ever seen a friend as more than a friend?
i am the queen of that.
12] Do you believe the statement, "Once a cheater always a cheater?
i hate to be a judgy-wudgy bear, but i do. i also think it has a lot to do with the given relationship involved. something isn't correct or whole if someone cheats. something was missing or unright, not just with the cheater.
13] How many kids do you want to have?
however many the good geo-gina can pop out. (i am thinking only one... cause i play favorites)
14] Do you usually fall for a wrong boy/girl or the right boy/girl?
mix and match. sometimes wrong is so right. then again.. sometimes it's just wrong.
15] What is/are your favorite color(s)??
umm.. where did this quiz just turn? back to preschool?
16] What are your views on gay marriage?
my views on gay marriage are my views on marriage.
17] Have you ever broken someone's heart?
i wouldn't be concieted enough to say yes, but i would be lying if i said no.
18] Imagine you're 79 & your spouse just died, would you re-marry?
maybe, maybe not. i have no idea what it would be like to be 79, married or have a love die.
i can't even begin to imagine.
19] Do you think remarriage is betrayal?
sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. depends on whether betrayal is in participants' hearts.
20] At what age did you start noticing the opposite sex?
i found my future husband when i was 5. we were going to go on a hot-air balloon ride for our honeymoon.
21] What song do you want played as your wife/husband/you walk down the aisle?
here comes the bride in nintendo music. i will do the robot as i walk [stiffly] down the aisle. |
