  2. china

    Outlines what China has done, the relationship between it and the US what will happen in about 20yrs Although I am a US citizen I have little hope for my country in the coming yrs if the on going trends and events happening now continue...it may already be to late.
  3. Gun Control and Shootings

    Did, interesting but didn't mention the obvious point about the rounds being matched to weapons used
  4. Gun Control and Shootings

    hard to prove I would think, unless some of the rounds found do not match the weapons in his room.
  5. RIP Boy Scouts

    I meant what I said, how you process it is reflected in your mind. Yes you seem to be a little confused.....
  6. RIP Boy Scouts

    Try asking a black person I'm sure they can help you with your confusion.

    If it was the clip I posted I deleted feeling that some here would get the wrong idea. you caught most of the main points. The point is that "Gender dysphoria, or gender identity disorder (GID), is the distress a person experiences as a result of the sex and gender they were assigned at birth. In this case, the assigned sex and gender do not match the person's gender identity, and the person is transgender. " "GID exists when a person suffers discontent due to gender identity, causing them emotional distress.[12] Researchers disagree about the nature of distress and impairment in people with GID. Some authors have suggested that people with GID suffer because they are stigmatized and victimized;[19] and that, if society had less strict gender divisions, transsexual people would suffer less.[20]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_dysphoria why would anyone encourage this in young kids, who maybe acting out of emotional distress. What would happen if the kid feels they should only have one arm, would people then cut of the other one to make the person feel complete or whole. Its sad for those who are afflicted with this, they are having to go against their own biology which now science understanding enough of is able to allow them to dooming them to a life of consistently fighting their own bodies through drugs and cosmetic surgery .

    "Alvin Cullum York (December 13, 1887 – September 2, 1964), also known as Sergeant York, was one of the most decorated United States Army soldiers of World War I.[1] He received the Medal of Honor for leading an attack on a German machine gun nest, taking 35 machine guns, killing at least 25 enemy soldiers, and capturing 132. York's Medal of Honor action occurred during the United States-led portion of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in France, which was intended to breach the Hindenburg line and force the Germans to surrender." and the point is?
  10. RIP Boy Scouts

    People chose many things that can cause all the things listed... In most cultures killing another person is not a good thing and cause one to be deemed a criminal and put to death.

    You think. you might start by seeing how many "gifted people" are gay vs those who are not. The point of the thread was that social engineering is being fostered on age groups that can not really understand the implications of it by those with an agenda....Boy scouts are for boys, girl scouts are for girls not for people who feel they are. If this is the case then people or feel and think they'er black, what ever ethnicity, should be allowed and be able to receive the benefits of being so. For most cultures if one is born into them they will not be accepted totally unless they are ethnically so. This is also true of US blacks, who did not accept rachel dana. why ? one might look at the benefits she received as being part of a perceived victim group.

    It's ok as long as it remains civil. BTW for me its not agree or disagree only reading about different view points trying to understand the thought process that may form them. I find it interesting . You've not answered if a man can feel they are a woman, and a woman can feel they are a man, make changes to do so and ask society to accept it, why is not the same as someone who feels black, makes changes to become black and self identifies as black but their birth cet..list them as white.
  13. What is Mastery

    a taiji story. Some of my teachers students asked him how to get it in Beijing He said " come here and practice 3 hrs in the mornings and 3 hrs in the evenings. Do this everyday for 20yrs and you just might get it" Or not, there is no promise that one will. They stopped asking after this and just went back to practice. When I went to train with him and the group it was 3 hrs in the morning 3 hrs in the evenings every day.....as long as I was there...not so easy, very hard in the body... Not my teacher but a taiji master He mentions it took him 10yrs to understand what qi was, another 30 to figure out how to use it... a true master of his craft
  14. What is Mastery

    Most Masters that I know do not consider themselves as Masters understanding the depths of their own training. Masters generally are recognized by other Masters or other people that have achieved the same depth or by those striving to achieve the same depth or level. Some have talked about mastering themselves, a lifelong process that not many achieve.

    "When that happens, that boy belongs in the Boy Scouts. " No That person is not male, and never will be. They have no "right" that automatically in titles them based on feelings just as a man can never conceive a child no matter what they feel.
  16. RIP Boy Scouts

    Does this also apply to racial and ethnic groups. Can anyone choose to be what they feel they are or wish to be.
  17. RIP Boy Scouts

    even when its not, and has been studied? why?
  18. RIP Boy Scouts

    Because they are not boys, can not function at the same level as "boys" Should the girl scouts allow "all the girls in" Why is it that most women sports ban or check to make sure that girls are girls if the biology doesn't matter.
  19. RIP Boy Scouts

  20. RIP Boy Scouts

    Why not just allow them learn about themselves and understand their own limits and fears in their own unique way. The idea of "do things the way boys do them" is already a failure point to start from. they are not "boys" does not mean they can not do the same things, test themselves within their own gender.
  21. RIP Boy Scouts

    interesting more of the same idea lets re write movies to re enforce a fake narrative
  22. RIP Boy Scouts

    birth cert don't matter?
  23. What is Mastery

    "In the book Outliers, author Malcolm Gladwell says that it takes roughly ten thousand hours of practice to achieve mastery in a field. How does Gladwell arrive at this conclusion? And, if the conclusion is true, how can we leverage this idea to achieve greatness in our professions?" http://wisdomgroup.com/blog/10000-hours-of-practice/
