  1. Distribution of I.Q

    considering whats going over there now, this might explain a lot of things. although being stupid is not the same as having low IQ. "There is a tendency of the 16% >120 IQ to immigrate to Developed country's and developed Townes ." The video answers some of the questions posed. based on the information presented a take away might be that those groups with higher IQ as measured tend to have more advanced developed cultures. that attract others with higher IQs
  2. Distribution of I.Q

    what few, what test did they take..... How are the test put together, what do they measure. .
  3. Distribution of I.Q

    " how does anyone truly define intelligence? an IQ test score?" In fact yes that's how it's done. you do understand what it measures or attempts to measure
  4. Distribution of I.Q

    If true, is this why more people want to live in countries where they would be around others of high IQ who have developed them and the societies they live in? The real question might be what determines IQ , is higher IQ reflective of countries that are developed "culture" . or by genetics among different populations of humans, or a combination of both ie some humans populations tend to share more of the same genetics allowing them to develop and live in more developed cultures that others want to live. in?
  5. Modern Taijiquan Sucks!

    How would you learn taiji from someone teaching I Liq quan.
  6. Modern Taijiquan Sucks!

    Actually his premise is not historically correct. What changed was the need, the teachers changed the teaching reflecting this., in so doing actually preserved much of what would have been lost. Its still available for those who are true seekers.and have the eye to see it.
  7. Modern Taijiquan Sucks!

    Can you qualify your experience to support your statement. what "old school fucking killer teachers" have you studied from or met?
  8. Modern Taijiquan Sucks!

    Just sharing a perspective
  9. Modern Taijiquan Sucks!

    There is no modern taiji if it is truly taiji. There are many different ways to approach it according to need, time, and desire. Teaching methods have changed over the years to reflect students interest and try to provide a more open environment from which the student can learn from. This is not really true I no longer call what I do taiji but many people by feeling and seeing it, name it as such. For me the name no longer matters.

  11. Talk HRC

    not a little "Report: Jeff Sessions Orders DOJ to Re-Examine Evidence in Uranium One Investigation" http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/12/21/report-jeff-sessions-orders-doj-re-examine-evidence-uranium-one-investigation/ "At issue is a 2010 transaction in which the Obama Administration allowed the sale of U.S. uranium mining facilities to Russia’s state atomic energy company. Hillary Clinton was secretary of state at the time, and the State Department was one of nine agencies that agreed to approve the deal after finding no threat to U.S. national security." thank you Mr. Obama,,,,the gift the keeps on giving. I wonder how they will protect him, or should they? They don't seem to have much respect for a sitting President a former one should be fair game.
  12. Sexual accusations

    Here is the list, so far, of the NBC staffers and contributors accused of various forms of misconduct: Mark Halperin – Fired over allegations — that numerous reports tell us everyone knew about — of harassment, misconduct, rubbing his erect (but clothed) penis up against female staffers, and masturbating in front of a staffer. Matt Lauer – Fired over allegations of horrific misconduct that, according to various reports, were an open secret. Mike Tirico – Recently hired by NBC Sports to anchor the upcoming Winter Olympics, despite the fact that NBC knows that back in the 90s he was accused of “stalking, groping, and making explicit comments to female colleagues.” Larry Gaetano – After 20 years with NBC News, Gaetano was fired two weeks ago over allegations of misconduct, something NBC apparently was aware of for a while. Harold Ford Jr. – Prominent Morning Joe contributor fired two weeks ago from Morgan Stanley over allegations of “harassment, intimidation, and forcibly grabbing a woman several years ago.” Matt Zimmerman – Senior NBC News executive fired in November for numerous allegations of sexual misconduct that includes harassment, flashing, preying on interns and production assistants. Alec Baldwin – Hired by NBC’s Saturday Night Live despite his long history of bullying women and homophobia. David Corn – Prominent MSNBC contributor currently under investigation for harassment and unwanted touching. Chris Matthews – NBC News refuses to say if there are other accusations against its longtime star." "this is the end"
  13. Sexual accusations

    yep need to keep it ones pants on the other hand do tongue and fingers count? "While staying at the company apartment, Zhang began forcing her to perform “oral and digital sex” under threat of losing her job, Shi’s lawsuit says. According to the complaint filing in Santa Clara Superior Court, Shi says she was made “to work grueling hours and compose work emails over the weekend at the apartment, sometimes right after sex” under threats. Both Zhang and Shi’s lawyers declined to comment on the case because of the pending litigation." https://www.thedailybeast.com/female-yahoo-exec-accused-of-sex-abuse-fires-back "In her counter-claim, Zhang says Shi was underperforming" cant expect a woman to do a mans job..

    Who can you trust not to show you their penis,,,they should be elected because they do not have penises is that it?

    Fact is they didnt need to and used a different method achieving the same ends. “The purpose was to establish suzerainty under Ming Empire, and this policy was institutionalized later in 1636 when ruler Hong Taiji established Lifan Yuan (various translations as court of colonial affairs, office of barbarian control, office of Mongolian and Tibetan affairs) that became Lifan Bu in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Indeed if submission to the Dragon Throne was not forthcoming, Zheng He did not hesitate to intervene militarily. For example, the ruler of Sri Lanka refused to recognize the emperor and was taken to China as a prisoner, while similar fate befell two rulers in Sumatra. >>> “Zheng's missions were intended to exert political and economic control across space rather than territorial control. By controlling economic lifelines of nodal points, networks, ports and trade routes, China was thus able to control trade. In do doing, a dominant maritime power reaps economic and political benefits by taking control of main port polities along major East-West maritime trade networks as well as the seas in between." >>> next time try quoting all the facts .

    Or they really didnt need or care too.. You do understand the size of china, and what was happening at the time in China don't you? You do understand the history of the sounding areas and what happened to them. "Beginning nearly a century later, as the rule of the Qing Empire expanded over wider groups of people, writers and gazetteers recast their descriptions away from reflecting degree of acculturation, and toward a system that defined the aborigines relative to their submission or hostility to Qing rule. Qing used the term "raw/wild/uncivilized" (生番) to define those people who had not submitted to Qing rule, and "cooked/tamed/civilized" (熟番) for those who had pledged their allegiance through their payment of a head tax.[12] According to the standards of the Qianlong Emperor and successive regimes, the epithet "cooked" was synonymous with having assimilated to Han cultural norms, and living as a subject of the Empire, but it retained a pejorative designation to signify the perceived cultural lacking of the non-Han people.[13][14] This designation reflected the prevailing idea that anyone could be civilized/tamed by adopting Confucian social norms.[15][16]" You seem to be very misinformed or maybe overly biased regarding "human" history. Why, why is it important to point out what europeans did and no other groups say the islamist. What if they manged to colonize the US,

    " The 37-year-old Congressman insisted that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) was also aware of the charges. “They looked into them. They didn’t find anything, and they continued investing millions of dollars in my campaign,” he said last week. We need you now, its good all cool no big deal... Despite his protestation, leader Pelosi called for Kihuen to resign in light of the renewed allegations. The DCCC also removed him from its list of supported candidates and canceled fundraisers for him. Sorry kid, your time is up and now you've become a liability we don't need you. You understand "don't you?" The big picture is they have no allegiance other then to their own ideology which in the end is very destructive to the institutions that they proport to serve for and in.. Very dangerous

    Are you saying there are no white aboriginals, and that all aboriginals are not white. In China, one has to work,,you might be correct might be a hard change for those used to getting free stuff. The Chinese will and are doing well because of a shared culture and accepted values. Interesting enough they actually have more freedom of expression on some subjects then those in the west. They as other Asian cultures are very much aware of what happens when cultures change in ways not conductive to the parent culture from which a society was or is built from. "The chain migration of a DACA amnesty would potentially outpace the populations of American cities like New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston." http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/12/15/daca-amnesty-chain-migration-would-exceed-four-years-of-u-s-births/ The US is in a fight to maintain its culture by those who seek to maintain power by any means. The last 8yrs was lead by a president whose lasting legacy will be recorded in history as the great divider....heralding the culture war the US is now engaged in.

    And you're living where? Sounds like ya might want live as you talk, not just talk. always find it amusing as those who talk the talk always seem to live and use the technology, among the cultures they constantly talk about but never the way they talk of....

    When the political parties find its not in their best interest all this will go away. Looks like they still need to go through more pain . On one hand Trump is the real target and they're willing to be martyrs for the cause, it may not stop.

    Really, wow So please tell us who are the real aboriginals, I mean did they come from mars or some other planet. Its not to late, one still join them and live as they want. Of course not on "their land" reservations and such, you can always do it on public land or better yet buy some land and live as one wants. the lived naturally...ok lets see "For thousands of years, Aboriginal Australians burned forests to promote grasslands for hunting and other purposes. Recent research suggests that these burning practices also affected the timing and intensity of the Australian summer monsoon." I guess these must be some "other" aboriginals or maybe they'er not in the club anymore....harmoniously I could see that excpet "Tribal territories and the slave trade ranged over present-day borders. Some Native American tribes held war captives as slaves prior to and during European colonization, " guess the also must have been the "other" aboriginals No worries I'm sure you probably have some that lived "harmoniously, and sustainably amongst themselves and others (INCLUDING plants & wildlife!!!) for tens of thousands of years." Maybe they were the ones from mars or some other planet...would be good to know...

    Doesn't get tiring extolling the indigenous peoples as paragons of virtue while obviously ignoring other indigenous peoples on the same continent who were not. What about the other tribes that were killed off by other tribes or this never happens or happened. Why did they align themselves with the newcomers "Europeans" to kill off other tribes using their advanced tech...as happens only later to find themselves in same position. The post is about "the importance of cultivating the quality of acceptance in relation to the diversity of 'spiritual' teachings and practices that abound in our world today. " Which is not true probably was never true among most major religions which is why secular societies were formed to mitigate divine rule to rule by man, and later by law. Cultures that have navigated this seem to have been more successful, as measured in quality, length, and ease of life. "on large scales" As to "kill a haole day" no its not one day. Its all days in a place that talks about the aloha spirit and yet never fails to remind others "whites" of the evils of the past and does so not as openly among the other different groups on the island,,,with the org aboriginal peoples being at the top of the food chain. It takes a while of living in a place to get a good vibe,,,tourist and long term visitors sometimes make the mistake of not understanding the unwritten rules... My comments are in gen. along the same lines if one understands this and is accepting one can avoid a lot of the monkey dances that sometimes happen among peoples who've not adapted to the modern times and can not go back to the old ones. I do agree with OP in that on this site even with those that do not agree, there seems to be a more border acceptance and reasoned approach for differing view points. Which makes the conversations quite interesting and informative in seeking the understanding of why some have such view points. Not to change but question them in kind

    Lot of writing not saying much. Someone seems to have been triggered.

    Some more for you to chew on. "A white woman who stopped in a Bronx deli for a sandwich was accused of being a supporter of President Donald Trump, then attacked and robbed by two teenagers, a report says." "A roommate told the media that the victim is not a Trump supporter. Police have not arrested anyone for the attack and have no suspects. But the NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force is investigating the crime. The suspects are Hispanic, both around 17 years old. One suspect stands 5-foot-8 and weighs about 160 pounds and has short hair. The second is 5-foot-9 and weighs about 160 pounds, according to police." http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/12/14/teens-new-york-deli-accuse-white-woman-supporting-donald-trump-attack-rob/ In many major cites there are neighborhoods where if one is the other "white" they should not be....more so for cities who claim diversity is their strength. When I lived in HI they have a day called "Kill Haole Day" I was considered hapa haole,,half white due to my ancestry this allowed me to interface in a way that would not have been possible if I was considered haole.. HI the islands of aloha yep unless " Kill Haole Day is an event that has occurred in some Hawaiian schools, when non-white students are said to harass and sometimes attack White Hawaiian students.[1]"
