The many questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread XVIII

By learning how to stand up for yourself.

generic, meaningless response.

I believe much of it is dictated by genetics. You either have it in you, or you don't. You can't just grow a set of balls. It doesn't work like that.

The best advice is to accept your place in the world. I know I lack the physical power to kick other men's asses, and I accept my position at the bottom of the food chain. The good thing is I make good money, and I can buy everything I need... except love. You just have to make do without love.

In summary: The answer is to become filthy rich and then you can thumb your noses at those SOB's. Consequently, it's yet another reason I'm against distribution of wealth. Then the bullies would truly win.

So in your own way , you have learnt to stand up for yourself

Ehm, no. I used to be the fat kid that had no friends and everyone went out of their way to make my life a living hell, especially since my town was incredibly racist (didn't even matter that I was white, I was from Belgium, the horror!)

It took me until grade seven to stand up for myself and begin taking active actions to resist the life I had in the past. I am almost positive my genetics didn't program me to be a fat kid and then program me to suddenly make a choice against douchebags.

It's all you, baby.

Is it possible for a guy to get stretch marks from gaining weight?

 

[MagisterCultuum]

Possible and common, particularly around the groin.

 

[Skwink]

Any, preferably Polish, CFCers here who could tell me what is being said, roughly?

I've always said that people who say 'it's all down to genetics/upbringing/who you know' tend to be the useless people who couldn't make it with the best start in the world.

I have the same problem

 

[salty mud]

How closely related must animals be to breed together and create offspring? Humans and dogs couldn't breed together successfully, but zebras and horses can. So can donkeys and zebra: a zedonk. I'm thinking that they must be within the same genus; am I correct?

 

[Leoreth]

As far as I know this is how genus is determined in the first place, at least in general. Apparently there are also species in one genus that are too far removed to procreate.

I think the problem here is that taxonomy isn't a completely objective field.

 

[say1988]

In general, I believe there are a few exceptions at family level.

Why is the vile government of China refusing to grant Tibet independence?
Or why does China thinks they are the legitimate ruler of Tibet?
Tibet was 2000 years independent of China and just 50 years not!
At one point Tibet almost conquered China!
It's all the fault of that Mao Zedong the Terrible who ruined Tibet's culture and killed innocent people.
Dead to Mao Zedong,long live His Holiness the Dalai lama!
Accept it China,or I hate your government!
The world hates China's government,even it's own people hate their government and there are people in the goverment who hate the government!
Conclusion "China has the worst goverment of the world."
Free Tibet!
Bod Gyal lo!

 

[Flying Pig]

Accept it China,or I hate your government!

And here we have a classic demonstration of the use of bargaining power...

This are questions.

Why is the vile government of Belgium refusing to grant Flanders independence?
Or why does Belgium think they are the legitimate ruler of Flanders?

 

[strijder20]

Ehm, no. I used to be the fat kid that had no friends and everyone went out of their way to make my life a living hell, especially since my town was incredibly racist (didn't even matter that I was white, I was from Belgium, the horror!)

Uh, I'm not going to Canada any time soon...

 

[Traitorfish]

Why is the vile government of China refusing to grant Tibet independence?

Geopolitics, mineral resources, unwillingness to set a precedent for other majority non-Han regions.

Or why does China thinks they are the legitimate ruler of Tibet?

They believe themselves to have inherited the legitimate claim from the (pre-civil war) Republic of China, who themselves claimed to have inherited it from the Chinese Empire, who won it in a poker game gained control over the region during the Qing dynasty period.

Uh, there were 3 unrelated kids with the last name 'Wong' in my elementary school class of 25 kids in the city, I think you'll be okay.

I don't know,the Flemish and the Walloons are "enemies" and do no want to work together.
We even had a record for longest-time for not having a government.
Personally,I am a supporter of a Republic of Flanders.
Because the Walloons benefit of our richness and we need to learn French,but do they need to learn Dutch?
That's a good question,actually!
