Post-Colonial Colors

          Without even realizing , the meaning that we traditionally associated with certain colors have changed over the years into a more European one for many of us. For example, white is the "pure" or angelic color. (White isn't really a color, but you get the point.)

          Now, since I'm Chinese, I'll be using "Chinese" colors as an example.

          Traditionally, red was the good color. Gold represented nobility and wealth but red was the "happy-day-feel-good" color. It is the color of traditional wedding attire, for both male and female, which looks something like this.

          Although traditionally, white could be used to represent purity or clarity ( 明白 = Bright white= Clear= "Understand"), the character "white" was also used in other words which means "emptiness" or "moron". Not only that, it was a color of mourning. Therefore, traditional Chinese mourning attire was in white, like so. 

          This brings me to my main point. Due to post-colonialism and major western influences, many weddings now look like this.

          So white. 

How the heck am I going to be able to afford this?! *Panic*

I don't think that this is the "international" fee...  *Facepalm*
IT'S NOT SO SURPRISING NOW, THAT AMERICANS WOULD RATHER BUY McD's.

America needs to make their post-secondary education cheaper. Seriously. I can't even imagine all the smart people that they're losing because they can't afford the tuition.

People, post your fallacies so I can comment! ;_;

Fallacies are not fallacious, you n00b.

          All over the world, English teachers are trying to ban the use of fallacies because they claim that since fallacies are not a proper form of argument, they must not be used. They are obviously wrong. Nowadays, fallacies are extremely commonly used therefore it has become a proper form of argument. Either you use fallacies, or you go learn to speak another language, because the English language does not need anyone who refuses to use fallacies. Even my mom said that, "If God didn't want us to use fallacies, he wouldn't have put that idea into our heads in the first place". Trust me, my mom is always right. My dad said so. If you don't believe me, then you're just stupid. Only ugly people think that fallacies are fallacious, so you there, you're ugly. If we force fallacies to remain fallacious, the English language will cease to evolve and no one will want to learn it any more. Then, English speakers will go extinct, and everyone on Earth will burn to death. Do you want to burn to death? No? I told you I'm awesome.

My mom has yet to say the phrase "If God didn't want us to use fallacies, he wouldn't have put that idea into our heads in the first place", because she doesn't know what fallacies are. Yet. BUT, my dad does claim that my mom is always right. *Hrmph*
