Um, @famousone it's actually possible for someone to have self worth without being proud of ones country. And it's also possible to be proud of ones county without being patriotic. It seems like for you those things seem dependent on each other and when I see how the US generally looks at patriotism I can understand that, but as a german I'd guess that for at least 90% of germans they have little to nothing to do with each other.

Our medicine and TCM are two very different things. Our normal medicine is very good at treating stuff like Corona. Very serious or potentially life threatening stuff where you need certain meds to cure them or where only an operation can help. But when it comes to the little stuff. Feeling more exhausted than usual, having some mild pain because youre getting older or even chronic stuff our medicine is clueless. This is the stuff TCM is good at. Acupuncture or some tea can definitely make you feel better/feel more energetic/have less pain. And if you went to your local doctor he probably would have just sent you home.

I think this is from the book/film "Hogfather" where death has to pretend to be the Hogfather (who is the discworld version of santa) to save hogswatch (christmas)

You're missing the point. For example by comparing children to monkeys with paintbrushes you were fucking disrespectful from the start! This is why I wrote a comment in the first place. Because people like you seem to see children as not able to learn anything and and you know how that is for a child? Fucking frustrating. Stop looking down on them! It can't be that hard.

Of cause meditation isn't just sitting still. You have no idea how I meditate or why I meditate and now you are making assumptions after criticizing me for assuming something about you. Why?
And I didn't call you an asshole I just said you behaved like one.

Well your comments above, especially the one about how "meditation is an art, high art that demands long and hard training" definitly sounded like that...

The ability to meditate isn't determined by age and you act like a dick saying YOU have "mastered the art of meditation" but no child can learn to meditate and I think that needed to be said here

Meditation is reaching a certain state of mind. And @rosalinas who do you think you are to be able to read every kids mind! I always liked meditation as a kid and I still like it, but I have to say it was easier for me as a child to reach that certain state of mind. Just because something is hard for adults it doesn't have to be impossible for children so take your fucking elitism somewhere else!

@poisin_kat oh, of cause, sorry, that makes sense
@honeybumblebee like poisin_kat said, it's a difference in grammar. In german "essen Essen" sounds weird. Just like saying "food eat" instead of "eat food" in english, but if you make a word for word translation of "eat food" it's "essen Essen" and the correct "Essen essen" directly translates to "food eat". I pointed out, that "Essen essen" would be the correct form in german, but of cause the direct translation makes more sense in the context of the sentence. I hope my explanation didn't make you even more confused.

And on a side note here, if this is true and adoption is basically the evolutional purpose of gay people, it is rather concerning that humans often try to strip gay couples of their right to adopt because they are afraid the children could become gay because of that.
