Quote:You mean Cyprus...
Whups! Yes, I knew I got the wrong island. I was about to double-check, but was too lazy...
Quote:Public opinion... yes, probably less xenophobic. But there is suspicion of Muslims, for sure, just like there is here... except perhaps worse because Europe has far more Muslims trying to immigrate. We get few in comparison. And many are feeling threatened by the muslims and the societal changes they bring...
Yes that is true. But that's Islam, and that's because everyone thinks they're all terrorists.
Quote:I know, but the point is that it isn't the ONLY factor in culture...
I never said it was.
Quote:Okay. You'd better find writers who understand chineese culture, though.

Yeah. I've seen so many HK movies that I'm sometimes able to notice subtitle errors. Phrases and words, here and there.
Quote:I've seen articles about studies about emotions. Facial emotions are recognizable worldwide... different cultures show them to different extents, but it's not like in some cultures a frown is a smile and a smile a frown. Humanity has genetic elements in expressions (as the main element, really), clearly.
Right.
