hi how are you? I am Phúc from Vietnam, the one that Joey has met!
April 21
7:57am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

hi how are you?
8:01am

Marilyn Mitchell

I am listening to the news
8:01am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

I am sorry

I met your son Joey anyway
8:02am

Marilyn Mitchell

that is fine.

you met him, i guess that is good.
8:02am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

and sorry, but the 1st impression is... it seems like he is living in a dreamland

and that was good till he said we Asian has a mental problem in our mind, and we are like brain-dead robot

and to be honest, that offends me so much...
8:04am

Marilyn Mitchell

he seems like a dreamer, but he is a philosopher and he actually understands things fairly well. He refuses to be like everybody else. He exaggerates quite a bit. He sees Asians as blindly following what they are expected to do. he is just trying to get people to think independently. he doesn't really want to offend people.
8:05am

Marilyn Mitchell

He wants people to chose based on facts.

He wants to tell what he believes is the truth, whether it sounds good or not.

he thinks the truth should not be offensive.
8:06am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

but the truth is, whenever you stay in a country like us, you have to live as in a real world. We could afford the expensive one, because we work hard. and that's worth our working hard. And whatever we want, we all save for it!
8:07am

Marilyn Mitchell

I agree with what you have just said.
8:08am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

I know that we are still poor, compare with America, but we have these things it's because we worked hard. So we deserve that
8:08am

Marilyn Mitchell

he has only been out in the world since December.

I have told him to take it easy on you Asians.

maybe he just wants you to dare to dream that things maybe could be different someday.

he thinks you have to demand for things to change before it will happen.
8:10am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

I know, but we can't do anything!!! The government decides it all!!
8:11am

Marilyn Mitchell

I keep telling him that America is becoming more and more like Asia every year; it is sad to watch. the globalists are taking over. Maybe he will listen to you explain the government. someone has to tell him.

America has had some freedom until a few years ago. I don't think we can change the way things are anymore either.
8:12am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

I see

I told him tons of time already

and because of that, he said we were like brain-dead robots
8:12am

Marilyn Mitchell

write it to me in detail and maybe I can explain it to him. He might believe me.
8:13am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

ok I will

somehow, life here is not easy to have it!

if he wants a room with 10$/month, sorry it's really impossible!
8:14am

Marilyn Mitchell

he doesn't want to accept that our USA elections have recently become corrupt, the voting machines seem to be programmed to decide who gets elected, no matter how we vote. only 18% of the geographical area of the entire USA voted for Obama to be president!! that is pathetic.

is there any room that he can afford??
8:15am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

then, the election here is even worse!!!
8:15am

Marilyn Mitchell

no choice at all??
8:16am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

no choice! Whatever you choose, that person will still be a president

because he has relationship!!!
8:16am

Marilyn Mitchell

the media accidentally showed for 1 minute that Obama won 2 weeks before the election!

do you have any representatives??
8:16am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

yeah you see? here we don't know anything, and actually we don't care!!

I guess not!!
8:17am

Marilyn Mitchell

I think George Soros decides what should happen in the world. The FBI funds terrorism in the world! but Americans will still not believe it!

FBI causes problems and then solves them.
8:18am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

I don't know about FBI in America
8:18am

Marilyn Mitchell

we have good local politicians still, who try to help us.
8:18am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

I only know that the Boston Police Dept did a great job a couple of days ago

I see! But I don't mind much about politics here in this case! And one culture thing here is: 1 person can't do anything in Asia. if he/she wants to do something, he/she must have a group of people...
8:20am

Marilyn Mitchell

Boston Police slowed down the investigation. When they lifted the lockdown, a resident found suspect #2 in his boat in his backyard in just a few minutes. The FBI had been training the 2 suspects for more than 2 yrs. they knew all about them. the government lied to us.

Joey would like to think that he could gather a group of people.
8:20am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

cause we all live in a community. And when a community all agreed with each other, we all work for the community. When one rebel appears in the community, and he is alone, he never could do anything to change the community

but the truth is, his posts make people run away from him.
8:21am

Marilyn Mitchell

Boston Marathon "massacre" was a "false flag" meant to make change our laws to make them more strict. They want to take all of our guns away so that we can't resist.

Yes, I have told Joey that, he doesn't understand yet.

He is too blunt.
8:22am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

se you see, FBI works as a group of people together with same thing in mind
8:22am

Marilyn Mitchell

yes but they are bad people.
8:22am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

and that is like a community!!!

yeah but still!!

and when one opposite idea comes up, BANG, you are OUT!!!
8:23am

Marilyn Mitchell

rich people fund them, they are helping the banks get more money, in order to get power.

there may be no solution now, I understand what you are saying. It is hard for us to give up the traditional American way.
8:24am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

I understand that they are bad, but that is my example to show him that working in group is always the best way to change the whole world.
8:24am

Marilyn Mitchell

we are gathering "patriots" who all believe in freedom, we are sharing information and trying to resist by provided the congressmen with the truth.

our Congress still has power to make laws, so we the people still have some power to influence them.
8:25am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

and one more culture thing here: when you make Asian people feel bad, they would not come back to you as they think you hurt them already

I agree with you, and I know America is a dreamland for that
8:26am

Marilyn Mitchell

yes, we must have a group. several weeks ago a group was started and had 14,000 members in just several days!
8:26am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

but sad thing is, your son is living in Vietnam, a totally different country, culture, and everything

and as I see, he is having culture shock!

so as I always say, he needs to get out of his dreaming, and live in the real world!!
8:27am

Marilyn Mitchell

we will continue to dream as long as we can. Yes he is having major culture shock. He still wants to believe that people in other countries can think independently. He is just trying to change specific things which cannot be changed.

he will continue to dream, but he must deal with reality.
8:28am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

I know, but we can dream in different things. There are things that we can dream for, and there are things that we need to be specific

yea that's the point!
8:29am

Marilyn Mitchell

He doesn't like unreasonable expectations, such as the "gift" obligation which he ran into.
8:29am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

and Vietnam is not a dreamland for people....
8:29am

Marilyn Mitchell

what can Vietnamese dream for??
8:29am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

-sigh- there were some of us helping him around
8:30am

Marilyn Mitchell

helping him with what?
8:30am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

and you know what happened after that, he even didn't say a 'thank you' to us
8:30am

Marilyn Mitchell

I will mention that to him. I think we probably don't say thankyou much around here because most people are so helpful as a way of life.
8:30am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

helping him with giving him a place to stay when he is in trouble, like hosting him in their houses
8:31am

Marilyn Mitchell

I tried to tell him he should be nice to the hosts.
8:31am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

I don't think so! America should be the country that say thank you most of the time!!!

that's your culture!
8:32am

Marilyn Mitchell

maybe it should be but maybe it isn't, I am not sure. sometimes we aren't so polite, I think. But I have never lived in another country.
8:32am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

but he wasn't nice to them! and he just should say a 'thank you' to people.

but sadly he didn't

in here we show our respect by saying thank you
8:32am

Marilyn Mitchell

we have a free meals program for the homeless people downtown in many cities.
8:33am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

and we were taught that 'thank you' shows our respect to people

we learn that from your culture!!!
8:33am

Marilyn Mitchell

I hope that Joey can change and be nicer.

Wow, does he realize, I wonder, that you learned the "thankyou" from our culture??

we can tolerate Joey anyway, and maybe pity him.
8:34am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

yes!!!
8:35am

Marilyn Mitchell

we can be good whether he is or not
8:35am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

I met all the people from America, and I even know a community of American here. And they all say that, giving thanks is a good way to show your respect to people and to God

I know

I still can be good

but I just don't like the way he treats us around...
8:36am

Marilyn Mitchell

I made sure I left him in VietNam to learn something. Yes, respect to people and God. I hope Joey can learn that.
8:36am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

he looked for some helps,we helped him

and then he runs away
8:36am

Marilyn Mitchell

what was he supposed to do?

did he understand?

I am going to remember your name. you have helped me.
8:38am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

he didn't understand what he needed to do was at least say a thank
8:38am

Marilyn Mitchell

ok.

I think he learned some bad habits from his Dad.
8:38am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

oh

I begin to feel sorry for that
8:39am

Marilyn Mitchell

yes, that is how I feel.
8:40am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

sorry I got to run for a breakfast and then work

Can I talk to you later?
8:40am

Marilyn Mitchell

ok you go. yes there will be a later.
8:41am

Bùi Nguyễn Hoàng Phúc

thanks! I will talk to you later! Be safe! God bless!
8:41am

Marilyn Mitchell

yes, God bless.
