Maybe wrong, terrible, bad, etc. Is unacceptable what you would have said in English, or did it fit better with how the Chinese would have said it.<br /><br />Mark SteeleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-47800813307751136122013-06-15T12:05:13.081-05:002013-06-15T12:05:13.081-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10546854208370518425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-79194157004360699932013-06-14T16:26:16.322-05:002013-06-14T16:26:16.322-05:00Why are you so hard on yourself?

Weighing the risk of violence against yourself against the nonviolent abuse of the woman, I'd say you did the logical thing. Brain damage is worse than hurt feelings.

We need to at least be thinking with courage, ready to stand when the time is right, but with the wisdom to know that some battles are not meant to be fought and some things just need quiet endurance. But at least let's think and be looking to do good rather than just ignoring and never thinking, always being sheep.

I hope they read it--but chances are they aren't reading your stuff as faithfully as the IRS, the NSA, the FBI, the CIA, and a dozen other agencies tracking every word you say, every dime you spend, every email and Twitter, every phone call, every purchase, to compile information about you, to track and predict your behavior, and to be ready to kick in the doors and haul you way when the time is right. Not now, of course, since you live in China, but when you set foot in this country, watch out. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
