I think it's way too complicated for me to understand that.

Still IMO to be from the origin does not make them the source. Even if they become one (for 1 sec or a life long) they have had to go back. One, 2, 3, 10 000 the idea is there is a development, a push.

That's very poetic. Of course feel free to correct my English! My signature is only half a joke. I know I make mistake on mistake

Mine is words are tricky. But I hope for deepest considerations.

What do you think the forum can do to attract some quality teachers?
CloudHands replied to thelerner's topic in General Discussion
teacher practice students practice teacher write students write (I mean you want a teacher go for it, what are you ? assisted communists ?!) -
For the people that wasn't here at the said TTB kunlun's era, as it looks like a major slice, if some dinosaurs wish to bring back here some highlights and/or what changes happened for them working on it, it will be a joy to listen these tales. BTW, hens are dinosaurs !

Forward backward then

The decline and eventual fall of the USA as world superpower?
CloudHands replied to Formless Tao's topic in The Rabbit Hole
Don't worry about my anger we're miles away With all due respect and before you get angry : I'm not saying we do better, even if I'm much more comfortable with our system. That's what I talk about when I speak about different background, you are so much about the self made man in a free country's cult that it's like you have no cultural knowledge of the common interest, what we call "public service" is seen as communist (communism is not that) which as been shown as the Russian devil for decades. -> I suppose I caricature. When the gov provides a public service, it is not intended to make profit but to do the best for the majority. Of course everyone pays for that but everyone need or may need it one day or another. So maybe you'll win 1000 euros instead of 2000 euros but health care, is provided, if you lost your job you'll be helped for a moment. We call that solidarity. Where we truly have a problem is that an enterprise of 1 or 2 people will pay taxes on the same rules than a 20 000 enterprise size so this lonely hard worker guy will work for cheap and that's quiet not encouraging. I admit it, he pays to much his freedom. And on the opposite, mega corporations have financial advantages, they get bigger, richer and more powerful. It's been a long time since money men are more powerful than citizens. Will you tell me, this is the way things are and have to be ? I maintain I'm not very interested in that subject but I'll read you with attention. Wish you all a nice good day ! -

Thanks for this sample of your politic vision Brian. Because of our similar interests and being for most here I forget sometimes we have very very different background reality. It's really obvious about politic. I consider your opinion as logical, valid but I can't agree. In a compartmented world I'd have no interest in your politic but US politic is not about itself but more precisely maintaining itself on top of others. I agree with Ralis on the fact that human should be on the core of the debate. When I said so I think everyone should have food and roof for free. In a world GB throws 1/3 of the food, I think it's no stupidity. Basic needs should not be a market. Instead we are speculating on cereal price... About US politic I have to agree with the fact your gov is not liberal, not socially aimed either but protectionist. It's my opinion that a world ruled by market will ever be violent. Did you heard about the TTIP, that will allow you to sell us food we are not even allowed to grow here. Hmmmmmm Why does no media talk about it ? Anyway, that's neverending bs, what's really important is that my daughter is the cutest thing in the world, thought you should know. -
The Moors re-civilized Europe after the fall of Rome
CloudHands replied to Harmonious Emptiness's topic in The Rabbit Hole
I totally agree with your intention, actually I mainly reacted against the IQ test. Before someone post this kind of pro racist stuff, he has to know what's an IQ test, and in the present case what is the compared population of the study. A huge part of the IQ depends on vocabulary and language understanding which is mostly related to education and cultural/social environment. You can't compare people like that. -

CloudHands replied to Harmonious Emptiness's topic in The Rabbit Hole
Reading what I red is not a good way to start a day. Because we have, for some, to start back with the basics : First and last... there is no human races but only human race (scientific fact). Differences are cultural, I know it's a very common error but there is no good reason to keep going this (#@~#!!!!!!) way. "Modern humans (Homo sapiens or Homo sapiens sapiens) are the only extant members of the hominid clade, a branch of great apes characterized by erect posture and bipedal locomotion; manual dexterity and increased tool use; and a general trend toward larger, more complex brains and societies." -
Request for less disciplinary action against Apech
CloudHands replied to BaguaKicksAss's topic in Forum and Tech Support
Same with Quebec folks. Imagine someone coming to your door speaking XVI's century english. Maybe you'd have some difficulty to take him seriously at first. -

people have so many cliche about frenches. I'd like to ad some verbal precision about french language. As spoken in the city I grew up sounded more like 10 years later it's more like . Yeah I know Japanese tourists are surprised too. -
That's why personal experience has not evidence value. Stay humble... Will watch it later, thanks

I'm would like to know more about the differences between western and chinese meaning of the concept of compassion. If some sinophile or any bilingual people want to share their knowledge about it.
-
How long have you been in China ?

Actually I'm very interested in both language's connotations. So what other concepts gravitates around the chinese idea of compassion. I consider that oriental (mainly confu, taoism, buddhism) philosophy tends to be practical, useful, before anything else, that's a major difference with hebrew/christian's basic world's conception which tends to sublime relation to suffering. In one hand you try to directly avoid what hurts you in the other hand you have to find beauty in suffering. Yes the question is not well defined but everyone's opinion is welcome. For sure noadays xenophobia is tangible with migrant Chinese folks, they're the only migrant population that does not melt. So you think this attitude is rooted so far (BC) in Chinese culture ? Do you have an explanation ? Interesting. "Confucian by day and Taoist by night" does that evoke something to you ?

It's a bit too general... but I agree with you, totally.
