    they should just let them leave. If the government would actually lower taxes the economy could work and businesses would stay...

    how does one even get an illegal citizen to do a survey? If I was an illegal citizen I would say no to everybody that asked for any surveys or anything related to that nature.

    i can really taste the difference when comparing city water to mountain tap water. I think the government should be required to post the water quality statistics online every year.
  5. Standing Rock

    It is actually really hard to figure out what is in the water these days, they dont post it publically anymore, i think the most relevant data I was able to find was from 2012

    I think it is pretty obvious water quality in the USA has only been getting worse, and will only continue to get worse.

    i mentioned that earlier how the pipeline was barely even touching reservation land. Seems people are mostly concerned about water contamination. THere has been something like 100 pipeline breaks

  13. ancient sword discovered

    Article: https://www.thevintagenews.com/2016/08/14/2500-years-old-sword-discovered-china-untarnished-condition/ Comment: """Ha, don’t forget to also show the Spear of Fuchai, a weapon once used by the archrival of Goujian, another precious artefact dug up not long after the Sword of Goujian was discovered. A brief summary about these two figures: the kingdoms of Wu and Yue, located in the southern part of modern China, led by King Fuchai and King Goujian respectively, were two prominent rivaling powers of the Spring and Autumn period (771-476 BC) in Chinese history, the long and bloody struggles between them generated many legends that later turned into enduring fables and are still quite popular among Chinese people today. So the fact that both of their personal weapons (a sword and a spear) were discovered 2,400 years later came as great surprises for modern archaeologists in China who had only heard stories about the two legendary rivals. Now the longer version goes like this: Fuchai’s father King Helu of Wu was an ambitious but cruel king. In 496 BC, he heard that his long time rival, King Yunchang of Yue (Goujian’s dad) was dead, so he immediately raised an army to invade Yue. The young Goujian, who had just taken over his father’s throne to be the new king of Yue, hastily responded by leading the army of Yue against the invader. Surprisingly, through ambush and strategic maneuver, not only was he able to expel the invading Wu army, but also managed to injure Helu in the leg with archers. Helu retreated with his army, but his leg wound by arrow had gotten worse, he summoned his young son Fuchai, told him “You shan’t forget to avenge me” and died from the wound soon after. Fuchai saw his father’s defeat as a great humiliation of the state, so he heeded his father’s word and focused solely on managing his kingdom after he took over the throne, he also appointed Sun Wu (the guy that wrote the Art of War) as commanding general to retrain the Wu army. Only 2 years later opportunity presented itself: king Goujian of Yue, seeking to expand his state (also to repay the favor of Helu’s invasion 2 years ago), decided to bring the battlefield to his enemy’s land so he led the Yue army to invade Wu. This time the Wu army, commanded by General Sun Wu, decisively defeated the invading Yue army and reversed the invasion by pursuing the retreating Yue army all the way back to the capital of Yue, captured it, and held Goujian hostage. After Goujian admitted defeat, surrender to Wu and paid a heavy ransom, the Wu army agreed to pull out of Yue but as a payback of humiliation Goujian was forced to leave his own kingdom to go to Wu as Fuchai’s servant. In the state of Wu Fuchai made sure to humiliate Goujian in every single way he could, and to the extreme, such as using Goujian as a mounting block for Fuchai to get on his horse, and had Goujian taste his feces, etc. Goujian endured all of it for 3 years before Fuchai agreed to release Goujian back to his kingdom Yue. After he returned to Yue Goujian swore to annihilate the state of Wu, so he started looking for capable officials to manage Yue, reviving the state’s economy and military, he also insisted on sleeping in a pile of hay at night and hanged a bag of guts in his room and licked it everyday, all so he wouldn’t forget the bitterness and humiliation that he endured in Wu. Meanwhile after defeating Yue, Fuchai became more and more self indulgent and tyrannic: he killed off officials and fired able generals (including Sun Wu) that didn’t agree with him, waged unnecessary wars against many states around him, challenging other kingdoms in the northern part of China for the title of “Hegemon of China”, in less than 20 years the state of Wu was greatly weakened. Goujian realized the time had come, so he started a series of war against Wu, first captured and killed the crown prince of Wu (son of Fuchai), then laid siege to the capital of Wu for 3 long years; in 473 BC, after the Yue army finally broke through the Wu capital, Fuchai surrendered. Goujian agreed to let Fuchai live if he accepted to be exiled onto an island far away from Wu, but Fuchai refused and committed suicide instead. Yue then annexed Wu, ending this long and bloody struggle between the two kingdoms."""

  18. Dantian Disappeared?

    How hott would your Dantien get before all this happened? You may have ruptured your lower dantien. However, if that was the case you would be able to feel the jing liquid leaking down your leg, and you haven't mentioned that, so maybe not. Gas and bloating is chi. Chi is air, but also substance. It is possible, you're leaking chi or more specifically, jing. However, trying to fix an injury like this can be a black hole in and of itself, but there are definitely, suggestions.
  19. The Secrets of Coral Castle

    Leedskalnin wrote a book on different aspects of everyday life. These writings can give insight into his personality. http://www.leedskalnin.com/Leedskalnins-Writings-A-Book-In-Every-Home.html a little quote from him: "Now, a few words about education. You know we receive an education in the schools from books. All those books that people became educated from twenty-five years ago, are wrong now, and those that are good now, will be wrong again twenty-five years from now. So if they are wrong then, they are also wrong now, and the one who is educated from the wrong books is not educated, he is misled. All books that are written are wrong, the one who is not educated cannot write a book and the one who is educated, is not really educated but he is misled and the one who is misled cannot write a book which is correct. The misleading began when our far distant ancestors began to teach their descendants. You know they knew nothing but they passed their knowledge of nothing to the coming generations and it went so innocently that nobody noticed it. That is why we are not educated. Now I will tell you what education is according to my reasoning. An educated person is one whose senses are refined. We are born as brutes, we remain and die as the same if we do not become polished. Some are too coarse to take it. The main base of education is one's "self-respect". Any one lacking self-respect cannot be educated. The main bases of self-respect is the willingness to learn, to do only the things that are good and right, to believe only in the things that can be proved, to possess appreciation and self control. Now, if you lack willingness to learn, you will remain as a brute and if you do things that are not good and right, you will be a low person, and if you believe in things that cannot be proved, any feeble minded person can lead you, and if you lack appreciation, it takes away the incentive for good doing and if you lack self control you will never know the limit. So all those lacking these characteristics in their makeup are not educated. "

  21. The Secrets of Coral Castle

    Always fascinated by this. Scientists are doing it in laboratories now, as i'm sure you're aware. What is also fascinating is a machine that uses sound to heat water and make it boil. Lastly, Edward Leedskalnin wrote a few books also, some of the quotes lead me to believe,however, he wasnt levitating the rocks. http://www.leedskalnin.com/LeedskalninsWritings.html
