... I worked at some very good language schools in HCMC that didn't
share your particular views. I'm not forcing my opinion on anyone but
you have to realize most native English speakers would think this guy is
a doofess.

Antonio Mauryshmelly everyone these days likes to pretend that they are too humane for the circus. liars.
Daniel Jason This
should be on top of the answer to a question "why expat stay in
Vietnam". Simple, easy money in teaching, anyone can teach as long as
you have a good marketing strategy. For this guy, "My skin is white. My
ancestors are Europeans. I wear glasses. My
name is Joey Arnold Original Oatmeal" ad works for him. For us, it
sounds funny or even racist but for Vietnamese parents, this is a
serious sh!t. He is white, he will make my son/daughter awesome, let's
hire him.
Antonio Mauryshmelly well, to be fair, it's not really working for him... read the page he linked too lol.
Antonio Mauryshmelly "language
has meaning and that meaning should not be racist", I, for one, whole
heartedly embrace gulags to purge these reactionary tendencies from our
ranks. Short of that though, good luch with facebook shaming.
Steve Kreutzmann When
someone studies a Diploma or Masters of Education in Singapore,
America, Australia, England or Canada they learn that language has
meaning and that meaning should not be racist. If Vietnam wants the best
in education then these are some values it should
aspire to. As someone who loves Vietnam I feel compelled to call out
some douche who thinks he can advertise on a public forum saying: "My
skin is white. Give me a job" - except if he's just being satirical. I
just find him to be embarrassing and as a teacher he should be an
example to others. Vietnam has so much respect for teachers and I think
they deserve that respect back. I'm white and I'm awesome but it's not
the reason I'm awesome. It might make me sexy (he he he - bad joke) but I
find asian ladies very sexy.
Quentin Madrelle Based on his Facebook account, he's either a troll or REALLY high, don't bother arguing for the guy.

.... sorry I reposted to fix some grammar ... so put your comment out
of order. It was fun chatting on the interwebs with you and the the
other sexpats (was that a spelling mistake) ... I'm off to bed ... I
don't think the guy has enough empathy for others to be shamed but I
felt good having a say

Rich Haslam Whatever
you guys think of this Oatmeal guy, he has done one hell of a job
marketing himself. He has all of you haters to thank for the free
advertising you have given him. Marketing through controversy usually
brings in the most sales. There's a sucker born every minute.
Tuyen Hua Brings in the most sales? Lol ok... If that means he's gotta look for another pagoda to freeload sure...

Rich Haslam Spam
is unsolicited commercial email. If it doesn't meet that definition,
it's not spam. It may be offensive, but that would be trolling. Oatmeal
hasn't posted spam here and he doesn't troll. He just posts zanny
controversial positions that push your buttons. He has manipulated you
to react, thus giving him more exposure. Keep up the hate, you'll make
him famous.
GiáoViên NguyênHiểu Rich Haslam,
are you telling people to ignore me? It seems that you may think that I
am just a joke. Do not judge a book by it's cover. I am not exactly
sure what you think of me but it kind of seems that you are posting
"SPAM" about me. However, the definition
of "SPAM" that you give here is a more original definition dating back
to some years ago back to before Facebook and MySpace.
It seems that the definition of "SPAM" has evolved from that to mean anything that others may not like on Facebook and other websites, and even in real life as well.
As you study languages, you will see the definitions of words change from time to time.
For example, over a century ago, the word "AWESOME" and the word "AWE" was more reserved to describe the power and uniqueness of God, and now "AWESOME" is usually used more often just to mean the word "COOL" or like "GREAT" or things like that, things that are more general, less powerful, less cool, less unique.

Rich Haslam Nope, not telling them that. Just letting them know what they're doing, that's all. Brilliant marketing though.
Rich Haslam You
won't know how effective his marketing is until you count the
Benjamins. Until then any speculation about his marketing is exactly
that, speculation.
GiáoViên NguyênHiểu Count the Benjamins and count the lives that were touched and influenced as well......
Tuyen Hua Rich Haslam
In this case you would count the HoChiMinhs but clearly from the
pityful way he expresses having to live off of a pagoda or skipping
meals just to get by (especially in the local economy) the Bens/Minhs
are nowhere there.
The fact is whether it is a marketing ploy to be controversial or not, he has garnered more negative attention with his antics and expressions. Negative attention does not = successful marketing (at least not in the long run). Who goes into business by discrediting themselves and further digging them a deeper hole by trying to defend themselves.
GiáoViên NguyênHiểu it is unfortunate that you were not raised in the best or even under normal circumstances complicated even more with a disability. It is commendable that you have fought against the odds and trying to be a better person, having a positive outlook. I think your only real issue is not let it get carried away.
Instead of fighting to defend yourself and trolling others in the process for a laugh, try to figure out why people are responding the way they do and stop digging yourself a deeper hole by making a fool out of yourself. Right now you are your own worst enemy. Feeding people to make them hate you because you may think you are standing up for yourself is a blind and dumb move. I am pretty sure most people here on Expat of Ho Chi Minh City as well as Another Side of Vietnam (as controversial as it gets there yet you are banned) had no problem with who you are and what you do but they had a problem with how you reacted to situations.
Do you justify your videos questioning the people at Leaf Pagoda as righteous? Even if they did you wrong (giving you the benefit of the doubt) you posted the video in hopes for pity and support yet all you got was backlash. Ever wonder why? Because disabilities aside, you acted like a complete asshole. You just threw your credit out the window.
Try not to justify your actions and think that people would take pity because of your disabilities. The 2 are unrelated.
Take this guy for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Vujicic . Compared to you he was born pretty much fucked. Yet it's the way he responds to people that gives him more credibility than anyone you would imagine. He doesn't need peoples pity and he doesn't justify his actions because of his disability.
You lived and taught under the house of god. Teach yourself humility and quit being your own worse enemy. That is probably the best marketing tool you will get.

Hua, negative, or controversial marketing has been proven to be
successful. Just because it doesn't fit in with your concept of good and
bad doesn't mean it won't work. Don't try to judge others by your
standards. Remember, judge not, else you be judged.

Hua, people like me. I was not living off the pagoda. Who said that I
was living off the pagoda? Some people may not like me. I have met
thousands of people in person during my 29 years of life. Who said that I
do not have humility? You misinterpret
my words. I am not purposely trying to be controversial. Rather, I'm
trying to be honest and I am trying to help people with a rare window
into how the world really is.
I am not a negative person. I am not making myself look like a monster. I am telling you how things are. Life is full of good and bad things. Do not get so sucked into the negative parts of life. I am not trolling. I am not spam.
I am not simply just standing up for myself but rather standing up for humans everywhere.
I am a messenger of truth. Do not shoot down the messenger. When I make videos about the pagoda, I am simply a news reporter. I am asking people to make up their own mind about their thoughts on it. I want people to learn from my life.
I do not ask for pity.
You misunderstand these things.
I do not want pity.
I do not ask for pity.
I am not sad.
I am not dying.
I am not dead.
I am fine.
I never exactly said that I am dead.
I never asked for money.
I do not beg for money.
I am here to educate.
I am here to inspire others.
Life is not about compromise.
Life is about integrity.
People compromise in order to make friends and in order to keep friends. Some people do not like how radical I might be at times. I have reasons for everything that I do.
I am not angry at people.
I am not angry at the pagoda.
I am not angry at the ASOV.
I am just sharing information.
I am just letting people know that I was teaching English at the pagoda and now the pagoda told me not to teach any longer.
Currently, I am the only long-term foreign English Teacher at the Leaf Pagoda, but it seems that they do not want me or need me. They said they do not need me any more. I say that they do need me. Other foreign teachers will teach at the pagoda for a month or so, but I have the potential of sticking around for years.
If the pagoda doesn't want me, then that is fine. But the problem is that they promised me salaries. I did not ask them for a salary at the pagoda but they decided to promise a salary to me.
I don't like it when people break promises. I want the pagoda to admit that they broke their promise with me.
That is all I want from them.
I just want the pagoda to say to me:
"Sorry that we broke our contract with you."
Then I would stop talking about them.
And I would move on and forget about it.
Same thing goes for Kathy who took my bike.
And the list goes on.
