If you don't pay attention you will have to sit at the back with the other naughty boys.

Yeah I know some of these types of abusive words get recaptured by the community ... I'm not particularly PC but I lived through a time of some overt racism which happily is now at least suppressed if not completely gone away. I despise racism ... truly ... that and other types of prejudice are some of the worst aspects of humanity. I believe in the individual and any labeling of them by general perjorative terms is a way of diminishing them as person(s). Don't know about Hawaii ... sounds unpleasant.

I meant plenty of words that don't have racist overtones or origins.

Cultivate stillness. Then when mind is reasonably still breathe into LDT and/or solar plexus gently. Nothing elaborate or urgent.

I have more interest now in internal arts and meditation than MA. If that's your first attempt at vids then its a pretty good start.

Well thanks for the explanation .... still can't believe you use that word ... there's plenty others to use.

I don't practice martial arts any more but I thought your presentation was good and if I lived anywhere near and wanted to do some I would be happy to learn from you as your energy seems well balanced. I thought the vids were a bit over elaborate and I found the music a bit off putting (but that may be my taste). personally i would have less writing and more action ... or perhaps more talking to explain what you are doing ... but its a matter of style and taste I guess.

Did you use the N word to denigrate or count as lesser a group of people or did you use it in a gangsta rap kind of cool way? Also why use it anyway?

A shark? ... or another dolphin ... http://www.dolphins-world.com/Bottlenose_Dolphins_Fighting.html

I was pondering that if offend means to strike against then ever time we bump into each other and things its a kind of offence. That life could be said to consist of joggling and jostling along ...and that if that didin't happen then we would be in a kind fo stasis each in his/her little island ... it would be insanely boring ... so maybe we need offense ... to keep us alive somehow ... so when the blow comes we should just either accept/deflect/dodge or whatever but not wish it away ... that not wishing to be offended is actually a flawed attempt to control the Tao ... the flow of life .... (just an idea) ...

I thought it was good starting point ... to look at the origin of the word ... then go on to explore how it functions ... energetically or otherwise .... I think that is appropriate to TBs ... in fact I wish people did it more often ...

Thanks I've watched the video now ... very interesting indeed.

Caste is a Portuguese word and their settlement in Goa the source for this term not British ... though they may have taken it up of course.

Could you elaborate a little why this might be so.

Ninjas in Japan they're there but you can't see them! don't get paranoid!

Ayn Rand! ye gods.

Is it related to the naughty step where I spent my childhood?

Drifting with the breeze and I'm chillin' in the trees grooving by degrees.

at about 0:36 he says descended from celestial beings ....

you are right ...

I saw a video by Sakhya Trizin (the head of the Sakhya Buddhists) who seems to say they are descended from celestial beings.

It's possible but I don't know. I tend to see the universe as one whole not various bits ... or something like that.

Thank you for all your hard work by the way .... you will have earned the Spamdeleters Gold Star by the time this is over
