  1. Were Hiroshima and Nagasaki war-crimes?

    I agree with the Eisenhower quote here http://www.nuclearfiles.org/menu/key-issues/nuclear-weapons/history/pre-cold-war/hiroshima-nagasaki/opinion-eisenhower-bomb.htm
  2. Were Hiroshima and Nagasaki war-crimes?

    Japanese were ready to surrender, just not unconditionally.
  3. What else do you sense(taste, smell, heaviness, etc) other than cold or is cold just the common denominator?
  4. An End to Killing Taoist Movie.

    Libraries seem to be one the first things to be destroyed. It's no wonder we know so little about our past.
  5. If you had only one day to live...

    One day is not much. You'd want to prepare yourself and help those left behind in the muddy world at the same time. I'd tell them that one of the best lessons I've got has been that inside, you need to be content no matter what. It may take alot of work to get there but it's worth it.
  6. Finding My Way

    Good luck in your searches and welcome to TTB.
  7. I would think an expert would mostly avoid both hard partying and sunday services...
  8. hi

    Just so you know, the stance of the mopai is they don't take foreign disciples anymore and want to be left alone. It's a common topic here... you will find most of the threads ending up in "The Pit". That said, welcome!
  9. Watching The Birds

    Yes... Makes no sense to me arguing with someone who doesn't exist!
  10. I like your ideas here, Nikolai, if I understand them correctly though the terminology is not something I'd use. The "expert" is someone who plays the deeper level of the game that the "unskilled" is not aware of but still longs for. People are driven to it by same impulse.
  11. Kung Fu Quest: Wudang

    List of episodes http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJOQyLSZVcezq0gYfkIGdhQ/videos There seem to be a couple of potentially interesting videos by the YT-uploader. Praying mantis, xing yi, wing chun, baji, shaolin... thanks for posting!
  12. Opening Dao: a documentary Film

    Thought it was worth watching even with it's flaws. I would rather have the full interview sections of the instructors however.
  13. Opening Dao: a documentary Film

    I get "Sorry, this episode is temporarily not available" with the first link. edit: loads fine in another browser(firefox)
  14. Philosophers...

    I also read Grigory's post as just an observation.
  15. If you don't get the feeling of wonder now and then you are walking with blinders on. Less blinders -> more reality. My idea turns to dust when I put it into words.
  16. Don't know how Swedish Lapland is isolated from the world... only had a quick look and he doesn't seem to care about traditions but makes his own ideas confusing the original meanings.

  18. Copyright Material Posting Rules

    I tend to ask alot of questions which it seems some people take as being aggressive. No aggression meant on my part. A thank you from me as well for explaining it
  19. Copyright Material Posting Rules

    Why not give me an example of a legitimate use for multiple accounts, because I can't imagine one. Blame my lack of imagination if you like.
  20. Copyright Material Posting Rules

    Why would you want multiple accounts? Can only think of less than honest reasons to have more than one.
  21. Can't see the picture, but yeah ス is su in katakana.
  22. Magnetism or Electricity

    The idea I get is that the idea of electricity inside a human body has changed alot in a few decades. Ofcourse the chemistry was understood to involve electric forces but beyond that it was kind of a gray area. Where does our natural instinct originate from?
  23. Hello! I am a student from 99 Iron Crotch Qi Gong

    Yes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8wnyVk6nn8
  24. What are you listening to?

    Speaking of trolls and hammers... (and metal)
