filipinos here... do you think we should boycot mr. millionaire anonymous?

Thank you guys for not boycotting and for your comments. It was never my intention to hurt anyones feelings and as some of you know I have the utmost respect for this country and for Filipinos. As you know my son is Filipino and so is his mom! My intention was to draw attention to the thoughts of some people. Do you know that this is the opinion of a lot of foreigners? Maybe we can work together to change this opinion. I have a small team of students who are working so hard to increase their money. i am so proud of them as I see them go through their internal struggles and face their fears to get success at the other end. Maybe I should have used a different title, but would it have got the attention that it got if I put something really lame? I hope that there will be a lot of good from this discussion. Tim

first impression are usually wrong, besides they are just mere impressions. They are entitle to it. there's a sound of truth in his statement and it doesn't apply only to filipinos. all lazy people ends up poor really. there are poor people everywhere, even in the most rich countries.

I don't think we should boycott him just because of that discussion. The title doesn't sound really that offensive. It's actually catchy that's why it got quite a number of response from us members. That's just for me. Let's not make a big deal out of it anymore and it's not like he was starting a heated argument or fight with anyone. His discussion was clear and is not rude at all. Cheers!

I do not see anything wrong with his post. This is a venue for free speech and ideas. He has not violated any mylot guidelines to my knowledge and he has as much right as you and anybody here to post what he wants to post. If you do not like the topic, then DON'T read it. Who's idea is it to boycott his topic? Yours? If so, then you are being tyrannical- such an attitude is SO out of fashion in this day and age.

Is is not good that we boycott mr. millionaire. Instead we challenge him that Filipinos were not all like what he think. As it says that, it is the opinion of a lot of foreigners. May be we should explain him that this attitude is also exist in other country not only Filipinos.

We are Filipinos. We are fun-loving people. We laugh at things. We laugh at some serious stuffs. We laugh. Because Laughter is the best medicine. That makes Filipinos really carefree and happy people. As for Mr.Millionairre, let him be. Besides, we Filipinos can show that we are openminded people. We don't throw intelligent arguments to a harshly and poorly made question. We are Filipinos. We are noble, intelligent and openminded. We are mature people. :-p Because we are intelligent, we know how to structure our way of words so as not to offend other people. Because we are intelligent, smart and most of all, HAPPY PEOPLE. Kabayan! Magkaisa tayo! Heheheh

I am not sure but I think it was just a case of "wrong choice of title". But I did not liked it before I read it, then after reading it I did not like the way his supposedly Australian friend said.

Hello knight_rlc26, There is no need to boycot mr. millionairre here. We should have an open mind if we are being attacked. We should depend ourself. The truth will prevail. We Filipinos have "onion skins" you know. A little bit of critizism we take it seriously. We cry foul, etc., etc. It is part of our culture and it's not easy to break. We just need to explain all this culture we have so that other will understand us better.

Hello Knight_rlc26! As you can see i come from a African American Race and when i read the title of the discussion, it kinda shocked me in a way. Like so many others on here i think that he chose the wrong title for his discussion. I know like me it threw a lot of people off. Cause i know that if it were aimed at me, i would be hurt also. I hop he leran from this, and thank goodness there are so many nice people here on mylot that believe in over looking a lot and forgiving.

As far as I know...Mr Millionare is not the one who say about the negative remarks..his friend! There should be no boycot happening here...were just having fun here...let's stay it that way. Sometimes we take things too seriously. Come on...why don't we just prove to them...that we are not what they thought we are, instead of reacting. No offense knight.

I don't think we have to boycot Mr. Millionaire Anonymous. The only thing we could do is to ignore it because it just create anger in our hearts which is not good... For me, he just raised that topic so that he could get our attention! It may not be the right topic but we should forgive him and ignore the discussion or stop responding or else he will earn more than us lol!

Hello kabayan! I dont think there's a need to boycott millionaireanonymous, I think he just posted a topic that he thinks would create a sensation through mylot, who wouldnt want that? Although, I believe that his topic should be taken down. I agree that it is very offensive and its racist, I already wrote to the admin regarding this, I hope they would do something about it. Maybe you could also contact the admin, tell them how you feel about the topic. The CONTACT BUTTON is located at the bottom of the page. From all the comments made by the people here, you can see how forgiving we Filipinos are, my gosh! I was really offended by the title, and I was thinking of cooking him in boiling oil, and kicking his a$$ back to where he originally came from. LOL I dont care if that comment came from an ignorant, mentally retarded, moronic, foolish, dumb, etc, friend of his, but he should be responsible enough not to post it here for all the people who are ignorant, mentally retarded, moronic, foolish, dumb, etc to see and BELIEVE in.

I know that his title is offensive, but I think that it wouldn't be nice to boycott him. Actually what he said was the opinion of his friend and I think that it would be better if we prove to all that that opinion was wrong.

hi there so WHO`S MR MILLIONAIRRE?

When I read it, I didn't care because I know it's not true. Besides, he is entitled to his own opinion. But Filipinos are very industrious and the huge number of OFWs proves that. Why should I direct my energies on him when he is so negative? That would be such a waste of time.

I don't think we should boycot mr millionaire anonymous. He has every right to state his opinion. Basically it wasn't his, its his friends. I am a Filipino and whatever people from other countries would say, I am still proud to be one because I am me and they cannot judge me by looking at other Filipinos. Other Filipinos may have done some crazy stuff but not all. We are all unique in a way or the other. People should respect us in that way. Generally, I can say that Filipinos are not lazy, we are just socially inclined people. Many envy us maybe because we have the time to socialize eventhough the country is in distress. LOL. Take care =)
