I think the over-generalizations of which ethnic race makes a better wife/girlfriend are unfounded. There are good and bad apples all over the world. You need to examine the woman case by case on individual basis. A good woman is a good woman, no matter where she's from.

Generalizations are for a reason. Most of us know from experience that most American women are bitches or useless as wives. Of course there are exceptions, but the rule remains.

Obviously a good woman is a good woman. The question is where to find them and America is not the place.

I am open to any suggestions to change the economic climate of the Philippines and spread liberated critical thinking to the masses in the Philippines.

The same thing occurs in Thailand but the difference is that there are still opportunities to become middle class. What hinders the Philippines' is ....enormous populations and a wealthy concentrated elite who own all the land. They create agricultural monopolies and branch their businesses out to take over the retail (department stores) and financial sectors (banks) too. You have a lot of people scrambling for very limited resources.

I'm not sure there is a good solution to the Philippines. I know many of the laws are copied directly from U.S. law but all that is meaningless if the concept of good governance doesn't exist in the culture. Another factor is leadership....

Thailand prospers in part because of a king who feels loyal to his rural and working-class subjects, and a very real and functioning aristocracy. Monarchy and aristocracy can sometimes protect the lower class from the merchants and foreign interests. That is, after all, their job.

A financial oligarchy that is unbridled by a monarch or a functioning nobility or military aristocracy, can bleed a country dry.

Filipinos I know from business, church, social life, etc. are sure aware of right, and wrong, and justice. Intelligent and lively. But they are totally not ready for democratic self-government as a modern nation-state. (Not nearly as mind-controlled as Americans, I grant you. But that's not the point.) They should have asked Uncle Sam to stick around back in the 30's, or put up with the Spanish longer back in the 1890's. And I suspect that that the openness of Filipino men to us "Westerners" inter-marrying with their sisters and daughters, is because they damn well realize that they need to adapt in order to survive. I don't doubt that it's a tall order to change from a tribal hunter-gatherer society to a world-trading modern economy in a short while. Especially when such change is not organic, but rather forced and imposed by circumstances.

If my people, my brothers and sisters and children, would be better off under monarchy or dictatorship, I would support such. If that is not available, at least you have to demand that the local bigwigs take responsibility for improving their local fiefdoms. It's not about getting rich, it's about being loved by a grateful people. Like the King of Thailand. The police chief of Davao City is legendary throughout the internet for having vicious criminals thrown off the cliff into the sea. You Flips need more of that.
