This is a fascinating point. Have we eschewed physical evolution in order to focus on mental evolution?

Every Eastern Mystic would be proud of this!

Haha, I'm not pulling any legs here, it's true. By the way, most Dutch names can be explained, Dijkstra's name too. I'm pretty sure 'Dijkstra' must have got to do with 'dikes' somehow, but I don't know for sure.



I don't want to stray of topic too much here, but nowadays nations aren't quite synonymous with race (have they ever?) and yes wars are mostly driven by ideology and definitely not actual survival. A lot of wars don't have an actual 'sense' when it comes to real survival of a race and evolution. And yes, you are right, it doesn't make sense to make a distinction based on race anyways as eugenics has done (does? I don't know if anyone still really believes in that, I'm pretty sure the scientific community doesn't and practically never did.).



Interesting, but it does surprise me a bit. So all you do dispute are the mutational changes that are beneficial?

You guys don't even know shit about Chinese history, Taiwan was always China's but it got conqued by japan in the 1890s the Japanese gave back Taiwan when they lost ww2, then civil wars broke up in China the communist party drove the Kuomintang party to Taiwan, The ruling party in taiwan(Kuomintang party)still reconize themselfs as Chinese but not a part of The Peoples Republic Of China!
As for Tibet, Tibet was a part of China since the 13 century, the Dala Lama wants to split Tibet even though the people don't, if there was a vote there then the Dala Lama would not win, the Dala Lama is just an idoit who escape to India when the civil war ended, now with dreams to split China, which is not going to happen!

We get fed propaganda just like anybody else.

This was my original point (as NITRO_2008). Noone is going to stop China. With 1.5 billion people, there is little that anyone can do for Tibet. My theory is that we should stop trying to cry for Tibet when as you said, they have been a part of China for 800 years.

So I agree with you.

excuse me! Are u Chinese?!Tibet was never conquered by China they merged when a Chinese princess married a Tibetan king, and it was that princess that brought Buddism to tibet!

become chinese! 1.3 billion people can't be wrong!

bomber, why are you so agro? settle down. no one is insulting you or your country. how much do you know about german history? the history of the netherlands? aussie history?

there's nothing wrong with correcting people, but there's plenty wrong with being agro and over-defensive.

julz

I thought that was the USA's job to bully and occupy countries, tibet was never conquered it merged with China by marrage.And Julz I'm not being agro and over-defensive. I'm just telling them the facts!

yeah what the US would want oil, but over 90% of tibetans are against seperation^

Ive researched your last posts bomber and it turns out that you are 13 years old.

Im not "age-prejudiced" but I also am not willing to argue about politics and governments with a 13 year old. So therefore I have withdrawn my original statements...I am not saying that in being 13 that you are automatically wrong, as a matter of fact there are many many brilliant 13 year olds, but I have no desire to argue with any of them.

That's one version of the story, but I've heard many already.

Besides, if it's true it only sort of proves how the Dalai Lama isn't anywhere near the 'rightful leader' of Tibet anyways... but that's less the problem as the whole conflict definitely revolves around mainly the resources of Tibet, aka lots of money and power, if you ask me.
