I have been quite long in academia and here are my 2cents:
Individual instruction can cultivate the best of the students to very high level, and is good for determined students that aim for advanced studies. The downside is that it requires way too much resource and is counter-productive to...
and the Koreans weren't smart enough to evade the elephants' game after WWII. Most of even the Southeastern Asian countries fared better than them.
Also that SK let US to fully control its military is beyond me and contradicts with the outward national pride the SKs seems to show. Maybe they...
Don't know what it may look to others if a country (Israel) and a people (Jews) keep crying 24/7 that they got demonized.
For someone that isn't concerned, it could be like this "So everybody demonizes you. There must be a good reason and why not just stop crying."
That is actually a good sign. Many men got facial imprints from their service time at low ranks.
It is sign that those guys ascended their position via wit, resilence or experience, rather than a good look or canary talks.
Dalai left with the nobles as a kid. That was a reasonable option for his class. No one could foresee the political trends half a century in advance.
But still, being under age at that time does give him an option of a second choice.
Once saw a BBC series that a dude toured across the SA...
Not supprised if such words are said. Roll back 100 hundred the British papers were full of such racial things.
And the anglos have been quite good at it.

Survival of the fittest. Let the most capable take the lead.
Ideology is just another opium to make ruling easier. In some countries where retards are fed with...
idol-making, American style.
She dropped out from her Ph.D. search. Some one sees the knowledage, someone else see the money. Did she "revolutionizes" to become a billionaire, or becomes a billionaire to "revolutionize"?
I just see another hot spot for hot money.
Don't really worry about the "stage". Jinyong once said a few decades ago that he finally see the reemergence of the spirit of Han/Tang eras after the 1949 republic, and in many ways China have gotten the outward mindset once again. In many ways China feels thankful to have these mini "problem"...
I see a very serious and focus Japanese person here. Sometimes I wonder, since you are also familiar with the culture, why don't see "it"?
This "it" is not about Ok. or anything with arguing about some island is an issue or not an issue according to whatsoever 'law'. Ok. was not an issue...
Well, the "Kazakh" name is probably just a few hundred years old. The ppl were there o'course, calling themselves by some other title if you think `thousands' of years back.
I guess Iran isn't a problem for China, either. Persian and Chinese dynasties haven't had a single conflict since the dawn of history.. not that I know of.
Same with many others in ME.
Drinking water in excess also kills a man. All weapons, drugs, rules can be abused and that is not the reason to ban it.
I am all for equal retaliation. I am also pretty sure that is majority in China, so I don't bother German convention or some philosophical argument. Arguing on PDF also...
