How the Chinese think: Chinese patriotism

Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

There really aren't many rules. They may not actually kill each other in the ring, but they Do learn that stuff and know how to kill you. I don't see any practicing murdering each other in the ring from any European form of fighting either. Of course they don't just murder each other on TV for sport. They do definitely break bones. Look up some videos and you'll find some brutal stuff. And the guy who breaks the other guy's arm or leg doesn't get disqualified. He wins. They can easily do that to your throat or skull if you aren't trained to defend yourself.
Do you think the parents of baby boomers whined so much when the boomers started changing society? And yet the whiney ones like to call young people "snowflakes." Hmm...

wiki: 16 deaths

As of April 2019, there have been seven recorded deaths resulting from sanctioned contests and nine from unregulated bouts. A 2006 study suggests that the risk of injury in general in MMA is comparable to that in professional boxing.

Well that's good anyway. I just assumed since those are the only people I think I hear using the snowflake comment every time a younger person says something they don't like. Sorry about that part. Good job not being pro-trump. :good:

One does not need to be pro-anyone to mock self-entitled snowflakes. One does not even need to be a US citizen, nor be of senior age. Snowflakes love a nanny state. This is opposite from libertarian views. I don’t know where Trump or any other politician fits in there, you choose.

Anyone who uses that stupid term should be banned for being a platitudinous twat.

To me, that particular slur fits both sides of politics equally well. It also nicely transcends the age and racial heritage barriers.
During the past decade, people seem to have picked up some idea that they need to have an opinion on everything; sadly, they often do not perform due diligence on the sources of their opinion.
I think perhaps this is the basis for that other odious but accurate neologism "fake news".

Patriotism is for poor and uneducated. Rich elite go everywhere and have friends everywhere.

I seen some kung fu dude knock out like 20 guys then he took on Chuck Norris, put him in a sleeper & was out of the picture. Have to admit Chuck put up a good fight. Seen this with my own eyes!
the thing with Chinese martial arts, is they look good and effective against someone else practicing that same martial art, but put that Chinese martial art up against another martial art, and 9/10 it will embarrassingly fail, if it wasnt for all the Chinese/Hong Kong movies most people would find Chinese Martial Arts a theatrical joke

i mean look at Tai Chi... for example...
Woh & I thought rugby league was gay :shock:
Didn't know that it was a martial art, just thought it was some kind of relaxing exercise.

Part of the problem, methinks.
