So I was watching Enter the Dragon while enjoying a glass of Chardonnay thinking about how to articulate my position to the brick-headed philistines among you. Then I had it. I am what you would call a “Gentleman Debtor” just like the hero of Enter the Dragon – Mr. Roper.
I have no idea what accounts for the popularity of his ethnic sidekicks. One died in the movie, one died in real life…maybe it’s a sympathy thing. All I know is Roper beats the meanest ugliest dude on the island, Bolo, and he is the most unscathed at the end.
Roper has debt. He owes 75k (in 1973 dollars) and has less than $70 in the bank. He still spends his time on the golf course and has a remarkably hot assistant. When goons ask him to pay he whips there butts!
Also look at the way Roper is treated. Unlike the Asian guy and black guy who are captured and interrogated Mr. Roper is treated with the utmost respect. He is offered a job and a way out of debt.
Does Roper take the job? Heck no! Why? Because the job while nice wasn’t perfect. Roper didn’t like the implied threat of death if he failed or double crossed the boss. Now remember he killed the black guy for much less and he knew none of the details of the entire operation. But does he kill Roper? No! He merely makes him fight his sidekick. Again Roper refuses. Does he die? No, he simply fights someone else. And wins. The movie ends rather abruptly but it is heavily implied that Roper is made into a hero and his debts absolved and then some.
Now of course that was just a movie. In real life no goons are going to show up and demand I pay my student debt. No white guy is going to beat an Asian guy in Kung Fu. I would bitchsmack Triforce back to Britain, perfect abs aside. The moral though holds true – a different set of rules apply to Gentlemen, not because of what we’ve done but because who we are.

This is the worst thing I have ever read. I hope you kill yourself.
I stumbled upon this and I don’t even know what to say. I had to read some more posts to figure out who the hell you are. PLEASE don’t ever come out of your mother’s basement. It takes alot to shock me but there really are no words.
If I had starred in Enter the Dragon it would have been much better!!! Now to dance a tango in HELL!
I don’t know how to interpret this…are you “special?” That would explain the number of years spent in undergrad. Do you even know what a gentleman is? Disgraceful.
Awful. Simply awful.
Reading this was like getting kicked in the nuts by Hitler, only worse.
KF Li — your chubby self couldn’t be made into a gentleman even if you moved out of your mother’s basement.
