I confess my ignorance: I have not delved into his math or charts. Just acquainted myself with the gist.

Mr. Hu Songshan is a Hui Muslim by his own admission. His (probable) last name is even a common one, probably next to Ma, although I am not certain. And I read somewhere that there are preciously few Christians in the PLA (for obvious and not-so-obvious reasons), while Hui Chinese are...

For that we are comrades after all, Dear October!

Can't argue with that. Hypocrites everywhere get their comeuppance in one form or another, sooner or later. A different tradition would approximate it as "Karma". The hypocrites of Old Europe got theirs through the fratricidal 1st and 2nd Thirty-Year Wars, with the Centennial of the beginning...

Comrade October, where did I leave a tract that I "judged" others to be evil? Did I say I am GWB? “The heart of man is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked ..." That implies my own heart is "deceitful" and my own mind "wicked". I don't self-flagellate because of this, but...

I don't entirely disagree with that at all! It's just that I believe there is more to it. And to each his own.

The fact that you believe there is evil says something curious. Talking about the "devil", and the "satanic" is like brandishing the lingo.

Still "pissing you off", lil dragon? Shouldn't you change name to "little elephant"? Doesn't your aunt talk to you about forgiveness? No turning the other cheek? My loss I guess. I do apologize for the depth of "hurt", though, for whatever it's worth.

So you are 10 years younger than me. I had to ask your age to keep your breathtaking naïvete "in perspective". I am not besmirching this vaunted "internet age". After all, what else am I doing here other than bantering words with you? But have you even heard of the "Cultural Revolution"? Do...

Humour me, FAU, will you? I'm in my 30s. How old are you? A range is fine.

Did you seriously just write that, Mr. PhD or is there a humour here a little too advanced for me? I could do a little "tongue in cheek" ... but given my IQ deficit, mind pointing out where the "tongue" is here?

I wouldn't confuse secular countries where those who practice "religion" may be a statistical minority with outwardly "religious" countries where the majority may not be "faithful" for all you know. As for your second question, it's not even a question for us - or at least shouldn't be. It's...

This I seriously don't like. Whenever we come across this Trotskitish "New Speak", our hearts sink. People usually die, many of them, whenever there is a project to make "New Man". PRC's own experience is proof enough unfortunately. As far as I am concerned, the New Testament already made...

That may very well turn out to be the case, ePhone. As they say, "Lord knows ..." ---------- Post added at 11:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ---------- I like that ... even without the "Confucius says" prefix ...

I don't think there is even the faintest hope of "victory" here over this army of never-ending supply of silly goons from the land of baboos. Just surrender and beg for mercy. On a serious note, whenever governments or other "earthly powers" try to "co-op" religion, the "faithful" should be on...

In truth PRC's bullying stance is not winning hearts and minds among many a member of the "silent diaspora" either ... If Vietnam is bent on becoming a "thorn", there are other "more efficient" routes in dealing with the nation, the least of which would be through Thailand or through the north...

What other forums, cared to point out a link? Otherwise people might think not only you are a "castist", but also a coward ... BTW, would you stand in the middle of the busiest streets in Dhaka and call the passersby what you just did? And when a "forum" gathers around you quickly, would you...

In all seriousness, someone ought to do that so we can all learn something, while the knowledge will hopefully go toward the improvement of the lot of the down-trodden everywhere. Hu can do it and you can do it, too, Silko. I, OTOH, am not here often enough ...

That's what you think of Bengalis?!

Don't insult yourself, little dragon, and don't insult the dead!
