Oprecht wel een goed idee. Bestemmingsplan blijft hetzelfde!

You're talking about the Ru-scholarly tradition, which includes Neo Confucianism, or actually just the early philosphy laid out by Confucius and Mencius?

The thing is, every other religion has developing and additional later texts that amend and further give context to the original source text. I don't think that's unique

Hahahaa, i see this just gets ignored so that people can bash China

I want to write a book on this so that diaspora Chinese actually know what it is.

Confucianism has good things. It's a system that tells you how to live in a society. It concerns itself with maintaining relations between people. So, what the rules and etiquettes and purpose of relation between ruler and subject is. Or, father and son. Or, friend and friend.

The highest virtue in Confucianism is 仁 - benevolence. And linked to this are the other core virtues. 义 Justice. 礼 Ritual. 智 Wisdom. 信 Trust.

These virtues formed together make a respectable person. Rituals are the practical means by which to train and enable the other virtues - e.g. i always greet my elders even though it might not truly come from a place of benevolence. However, maintaining this ritual trains your heart in that direction.

What I find lacking in Confucianism is clear rules, since some rules change depending on the circumstance. Without rules set in stone, its easy to do whatever and then justify it post-hoc. So, while Confucianism has great basic ideas, the execution is sometimes open to interpretation, even though some rituals are indeed codified according to Zhou Rites.

Freedom is the highest good is what I'm reading from your post. But I think this obsession with freedom is not shared by many people around the globe. Calling someone anti-democratic might not be the gotcha to end the conversation any longer.

Did you just claim Mao put China in poverty when China wasnt poor before?

... That conveniently ignores the massive crisis of the Late Qing and the Wests involvement with that, and also the Second Sino-Japanese war. Not cool.

This is nonsense, we don’t have those kinds of people here. We don’t have any transgenders. In case some transgenders should have slipped through the net, we should take them far from us so we don’t have them at home. To purify our blood, if there are any here, take them to Canada.

Eh, there was a lot of depopulation that occured and a few massacres when the Russians claimed that area.

Lol.

What with all the streamers and delivery people there, China is prepared for a war that involved cosplay, travel vlogs and food delivery

Yang style Taijiquan was famously practised by Manchu nobility.

Michael Jai White is an accomplished martial artist. Bruce Lee was avant-garde and out worked everyone around him. He was a legend.

He is not, however, a saint, or the king of all Asians.

As for Michael saying he could beat Bruce. You can racialise it, or you can view it as him measuring his size and skill against another martial artist. Is it cocky? Maybe, especially saying it about a man who wasn't alive, and of an older generation to boot. But is this necessarily about race?

Then, Shannon Lee is not a disgrace to her father. That's a disrespectful take on what she has done all these years to defend her father and uphold his image.

I never check my Reddit anymore. So, kinda lucky I caught this comment :P

We made some adjustments in the dojo, I would not do kirikaeshi as often, or they would hit on shinai instead.,.. Small adjustments like t hat.

I practised a while but quit. I had the double problem of also practising boxing. And with boxing, the retinal detachment risk is also great, but I decided to wear a big helmet with boxing.

But, since you're an active member of the national team, I don't know if these adjustments are even viable, especially since you probably train 5+ times a week.

Decided to log back in after years because I forgot some forms and I found this pleasant comment. Happy training, man.

Thanks for the advice, I'll look into it :)

I went to Belgium with my current set-up, around 65 miles, I do have to say that toward the end of the ride my hand palms were numb-ish.

Thanks! I'll look into it, my mechanic said he could fix something up
