China, Japan and South Korea all have more gold than they have silver or bronze. They really took the "get gold or get nothing" attitude to heart. (media.kotakuinaction2.win)

You expect any less from a culture that when it comes to school grades, A stands for 'average' /s

So is the Olympics over as I just have been paying attention to memes only so does this mean all the illegals they bussed out are going to return again?

Considering China's tendency to cheat, those Golds are probably a way lower number than they deserve.

South Korea and Japan is ok tho

I have a bit of a running joke with a friend about Asians and grades. Read this in the voice of a tiger mom:

You better get A.

You get B you get beat.

You get C you get cut.

You get D you die.

You get F you not want to know what happen.

F you arrive in the afterlife and one of your ancestors is waiting and tells you to go to the corner and kneel on an abacus and wait till your dad gets here.

I dunno what their parents told 'em, but in my school they were always annoyingly fighting for the last points, which ended up ruining those few points for me in various ways. That made me mad. I was out there doing stuff like the band, drag racing, and even smoking weed. My Asian "counterparts" would do nothing but study and maybe orchestra. High School material is retard-level. Getting the last few questions right isn't important. They very rarely gave us anything challenging to the point that good students would get like an 80, you know? Like a challenge where the teacher would get a 90 if someone else graded it.

In the end they were like "oh you're about as smart as those guys." Fuck that dog. I had my cake and ate it, too. They're retards. This country isn't supposed to be china or India. It's supposed to be for smart Chads.

Second place is the first loser.

I probably have this attitude because even though I'm white, the Asian grading standards discussed here very much applied to me. If they'd had all this modern shit where your parents could see your individual grades online, I'd 100% have been dead by murder or suicide by the age of 15. I used to have to explain why I'd get 90-something grades if they knew about it, and one time I got a C in a class, I literally modified the report card to hide it.

I had a friend who modified everyone's report card to hide it. Right in between this era of paper and digital.

They were asking for it, too. All you had to do from a school computer was press Ctrl-C, mount or find a Netware share, and maybe guess one password that was probably the teacher's cat's name.

Very nice. They ran our grades on and old school system (think terminals) and a ton of the teachers still kept paper before they turned it in. I realized that the laser printer wasn’t properly fusing the letters on for this one and essentially scratched the grade off and with a few careful tests on blank paper I printed a new letter in its place. I couldn’t even tell with a magnifying glass. Later on I actually got my hands on some of the special paper they printed them on, but I was about to graduate and never did anything with it.

Computers at schools those days were a blast. They weren’t locked down at all. We used to download from Napster and burn CDs and I had Quake on probably half the PCs in the school. There was even one teacher for a CAD class that would totally let us play it the last 30mins or so of class if everyone was chill and worked on their assignments up until then.

I used to exit to DOS and play BASIC snake...

That wasn't state of the art at the time. It was just a public school, at a time when the only computer class was called typing and taught by a lady who probably WAS the inspiration for Mavis Beacon. You know for putting words onto the paper to put in an envelop and... never miind.

And they did so without the need to import niggers.

Just look at France. Most Athletes representing them were Africans. It was funny and sad at the same time watching all the scrawny beta white French kids waving flags and cheering so hard for nigs.

Fuck women's leagues; we need to have a no-blacks league. Black women have higher testosterone than Asian men. It's unfair.

Australia had that, too, almost every day up until day 16. We also very nearly beat Japan (mostly let down by our team sports). It's not really all that unusual...

If you watched the diving, though, those three countries absolutely annihilated the competition, with China winning every single gold on offer, both men's and women's, lol...

It was insane. First time I've ever personally witnessed (on tv, at least) scores over 100.

The US mostly dominates swimming (as does Aus) and track (which Aus does not)...

Dumb question, do these countries still use the gold standard? I know Korea doesn't but I'm not sure of China or Japan.

The chinese economy is based on paper mache apartment buildings.

No one can use the gold standard anymore because there isn't enough gold to represent all of the goods and services available in the world. If you tried, a gram of gold would cost > $100k and you'd wouldn't be able to use it for electronics.

Important correction: the chinese economy is based on paper mache apartments that the construction companies have/are going bankrupt on.

Construction in general is a surprisingly corrupt industry. Yakuza liked to use construction companies as fronts for their illegal operations, and there's endless stories of politicians rewarding government contracts to a company owned by their brother or cousin or something.

I always assume that's why the roads don't get finished. Someone is getting paid by the day to suck.

Regular transactions were usually handled in silver. gold was for land purchases and sovereign wealth and shit.

Perhaps what you say is still true, but gold shouldn't be the only currency.

The Bank of Japan nearly collapsed the world economy all because they raised interest rates from zero to a fraction of a percent. It's all fake and gay.
