Something i deeply admire about the Filipino people

They are more patient than can be described. Look at this:

i have my theories about why this level of patience is so universal here but mostly it has to with them having had so little for so long that a slight inconvenience in something like SL is a trifle for them. In the US the average person would put up with what Madeleine has to deal with for about 2 minutes and then either quit, smash their keyboard or buy a new 'puter. Madeleine has no choice but to cope with it and probably doesn't mind it at all. It is what it is for her.
