Chinese Astrology
Oh, yeah, explanation for bringing up monarchy:
I am a Dragon-born in Chinese astrology, and the site says that Dragons are monarchs. Not only am I a strong advocate of removing monarchy, but I hardly have any control at all, which sort of blows up that idea. I then had to say that I felt that monarchy is rubbish, and an explanation of why came up, because I'm a pedantic nerd.
And then I went on to say that, yes, I am a pedant with no life(but I didn't really say it like that), and I went on to be really snobbish and call myself an intellectual (which it could be argued that I am).

"When conversing about oligarchy, you must consider this point: Many children are taught from an early age that monarchies are primarily benevolent, and are given very little to discourage this opinion until at least adolesence. Even more prevalent are stories about the supposed benevolence of heirs to the throne, symbolising a cycle which they are taught is good."

A wise man knows himself to be a fool. And in the kingdom of the blind the man with two eyes must have made everyone else blind, so he must be the ruffest, tuffest most biggest bad-ass in that kingdom IMHO.RAK wrote: There's no "pseudo" about it.

RAK is just exerting his/her dominance on us lowly non-intelectuals... or so it would seem.St. Toxic wrote:Hm. I dont get any of this Chinese Astrology. How is it connected to monarchy?
Hi, i'm an intelectual from a political forum... mind if i rub your nose in this irradiated brahmin shite?

welcome to DAC RAK
Heh, normally, I don't have an ego problem, just making myself known. That's what whoever gets for saying I should be banned as an SDF.

Perhaps you are placing a bit too much faith in astrology, perhaps you are an exception to the (dare I write) 'norm' ? I'm not worried.RAK wrote:I am a Dragon-born in Chinese astrology, etc etc forever and ever the end, or is it ??1/?!

Actually, I place almost NO faith in astrology, I'm just pretty pissed off at the monarch stereotype.Perhaps you are placing a bit too much faith in astrology, perhaps you are an exception to the (dare I write) 'norm' ? I'm not worried.

Ah yes! I have heard of these, very bad sign in chinese archeology. You are excused, Rack.RAK wrote:I'm a pedantic nerd.
I myself come from a long line of royal blood! Indeed, I am related to the dope who translated the Holy Book to 40 different dialects of mandarin, in feeble attempt to make people out of Chinamen. Good God.
Hell, I'm 5'6" and 135 pounds. What do you think I'm going to do to you? Hurt you? I'd like to see that!We're lucky this is the internet, eh?
Most of you are probably in excess of 5'9" and stronger than I am. My biggest asset is my speed. Which I can use to... Improve my Unarmed and Melee Weapons skills... Or run.

I'm 6'3 and 200lbs. I have training in karate, kick-boxing and judo. I have 17 confirmed kills on the streets and served 3 tours of duty in Vietnam. I can kill a man by ramming my eyes on his fingers and crushing his arm into his rib-cage and making his heart explode.
AND AM SMART! I was the smartest kid in school everyone was like 'yeah, he's not smart' but I happen to be an intellectual and own at least 40 books and various audio casettes of classics such as the stand and the dark tower series'.
