There are two types of Chinese martial artists. Those who can fight and those who should be teaching dance or yoga!
53 years of training, 43 years of teaching and still aiming for perfection!
Recovering Forms Junkie! Even my twelve step program has four roads!
in downtown vancouver natives make up 2% of the population but make up over 30% of the homeless... they are not doing so well over here... some are great, some are okay, most are dsyfunctional... i grew up around natives, i know exactly what they live like... in vancouver, that is... cant speak for anywhere else... but lets just say that the reserve produces a significantly higher percentage of dysfunctional households than any other race or culture... by a huge margin...
[QUOTE=mooyingmantis;1102772]As a Native American, let me say that the saddest part of all is that we taught the colonists the proper methods of farming and helped them survive their first few years in this land. Perhaps mercy and good-will is sometimes a mistake.[/QUOTE
Re this very valid point, I found it pretty interesting when the fellow earlier said 'I've never killed any buffalo' - and how that re-states the fallacy that Native Americans where all hunters drifting across the plains.
I don't know what it is - maybe people feel it makes history less awful to think that nomadic hunters were simply moved to another pasture, when, in fact, most Native American communities were settled agricultural groups who farmed.
It's not worth a penny!

Bleeding hearts don't fix problems.
I'm not talking about my expectations, I'm talking about the reality of the circumstance.
I find that people tend to b*tch and complain about the past and point fingers of blame but often those very same people do little or nothing to alleviate whatever the problem is and certainly, in no instances are they offering viable alternatives.
we live in the modern world. I will not accept blame for the the sins of my ancestors, period, deal with it and move on because I'm pretty sure no one else is going to either.
trying to put words in other peoples mouths because of some clunky agenda doesn't do anything for the issue either.
what are the solutions. what do you know about the flow of man and conquering armies? As a man of Scots descent i can tell you that the Scots themselves are a mix of everyone who overran their homelands over the centuries too. You don't see me whining about Norway owing me my heritage rights do you?
As I am born in Canada, I am now a "Canadian" and though I am entitled, I have to jump through hoops to get my UK passport and lo and behold, Scotland is subjugated and joined to England and Wales!
Complaints about native lands will be heard elsewhere.
Kung Fu is good for you.
We can start a list for how many ways this will be a financial disaster for the mid western states of Ameristan.
1. Conflict of interest.
2. Cruel and unusual punishment.
3. False imprisonment.
4. Lost wages.
feel free to add to the list. if people had half a brain they would stay in jail. For every day they are in jail they will accrue punitive damages from a civil suit against the state. This will be overturned by higher courts.
Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

china is trying to invest in africa and help it develop. nigeria actually has the most dense city in the world now. eurpeans take only natural resources but china is developing trade and african consumerism.
the european countries are already having trouble attracting immigrants. they are actually competing for immigrants now. negative population growth, economic and population crash coming.
in other words cheap goods and cheap labour would trickle to a stop.
if china succeeds europeans would become irrelevant.
