Hmmm, is this strategically related?

Jane Zhang is the most capable singers standing out from so many tier 3 singers.

Just watched Thanhbui interview. He is smart and talent. Smart people talk and think inspire unlike many idiots in here and many Vietnamese idiots out there. The common straits of idiots are their brain locked, they can't differentiate right or wrong, fact or fiction. They are very stubborn and often refused to listen. They often leave idiotic comments with no thought on youtube. Their lives will be miserably-washing dishes or flipping burgers the rest of their lives. I would rather die than taking that job for rest of my life. I pray to god everyday for not making me as idiot and dont make my life miserable similar to that of idiots.
