I think that's still closer to an even match than the net.

why, some areas in China are still unscarred by uncaring people bent on domination of the earth like in the good 'ole USA

yeah sure Brazil and New Zealand

they still have their rain forest right?

stupid head, rain forest are about rain not latitude

Ryat: I was under the impression we were talking about TROPICAL Rainforests. Please do be more elaborate in the future.

Draak: HA. HAHAHAHAHA. You talk to me, ME about the Racial tension in Hawaii. I GREW UP IN HAWAII. Since I'm white and since my father is in the military, I would get beaten up on a daily basis by the kids in school, often times in front of teachers, since they had the same biased opinion of me. I mean, my mom didn't even let me go to school on 9/11, for fear that I'd be blamed by the kids and teachers in school for the event.

True, a rain forest is what it is, climate aside. Devils in the details.

And yes, I think you proved my point.

I used California as the standard because in California there are more races having tension against one another, compared to Hawaii, where it's just whites and natives.

The fact that you just made the "rain forest" statement implied to me that we were discussing the most infamous of the rain forests, not ones that are like olives and are only classified that way because they meet certain requirements.

The number of races is rarely of concern. Intensity has often been the bigger issue. The second incarnation of the Ku Klux Klan was predominantly targeting African Americans, but despite that one directed force, they still caused enough trouble to have the U.S. Army brought against them.

And he didn't state which rain forest. As for the requirements, without such things all forests are just a collection of trees, some wetter than others. It's only through standardization of terms that any one or another becomes unique in our minds.

Actually, the unemotional are extraordinarily good at using emotions to their advantage. As long as they are not sociopaths, they'll understand the mechanics as well as anyone while still able to keep themselves in check, allowing the execution of a plan without the potential hindrance of emotional interference. This is used quite often by hostage negotiators, profilers, etc.

oooooh, he learned to google

best music video ever (if you be a nerd)

Actually, Ryat,  having lived in Seattle once, I'm aware that the climate that Seattle has is also shared with about 1/3 of Oregon and the Alaskan Panhandle.

Seattle or Juneau?

And then I said he wouldn't have problems using to his advantage.

I don't remember addressing that in my post.

Yes, I got that the first time. All I said is that he would not have difficulties dealing with those that are emotional. Not sure how it is that you misunderstood me.
