Just curious to see if anyone else on here does Martial arts or some sort of combat sport? Even Self-defense practitioners are encouraged to participate. I'm interested to see what everyone practices and why they practice their chosen art. I made a poll and for the sake of time and accessibility I didn't list every martial art style. I likely missed a few that might be practiced but I just listed the most prevalent. If I missed you please still type on this thread and share your experience and art.

Both of these are world currencies. If you have the Vietnamese Dong as a currency option, at the very least you could include a "world" currency like the HK Dollars, Singapore Dollar... hell even the Macanese Pataca. It doesn't make sense for the Dong to be an option and yet omit a more Forex friendly currencies. Not all Chinese want to use the !@#$ing Yuan.

you should amend that to ^^*subject to being a !@#$got

Swagger jacked--cute troll.

Dec 12-18 Market Rate for Oil is set at $1000.

If he goes Judas on Taiwan considering all the support the US gives to Israel (because it's a bastion of "freedom and democracy" in the Middle East), it would definitively prove the hypocritical stance of the US and remove any shred of credibility of the whole trying to "spread peace and democracy abroad" narrative. Taiwan is one of the few gems of real democracy in East Asia. President Tsai is not only of indigenous Taiwanese descent, but the first female elected-leader of any Chinese majority country as well as the only female in East Asia who is not a relative (spouse, daughter, ect.) of a former political leader. Not only that but until 1979 Taiwan (aka the Republic of China) was the "REAL China". I encourage anyone who hasn't visited both the PRC and the ROC to do so and compare and see the contrast between the quality of life in the two nations. Anyone whose visited the ROC will have no doubt as to who the true cultural heir to China is. The PRC only started caring about "Traditional Chinese Culture" as a marketing tool to encourage more tourism. Considering that the Philippines is siding up with China and Russia, Malaysia's President $ being seized by the Dept of Justice over the whole 1MDB scandal, the US cutting off military aid to Thailand since the coup of 2014, alienating Indonesia by Trumps inflammatory statements toward Islam, and Singapore about to be put in its place by China over the whole SAF training in Taiwan (and towing the US line vis-a-vis the South China Sea dispute). It behooves the US to stand by whatever allies it has left in the East Asian theater. If she's willing to toss Taiwan so easily, I wonder what type of signal this would send to Japan or S. Korea? (In Trumps defense, it seems he isn't offering up Taiwan (ROC), he is just stating that he doesn't need to abide the 1-China policy, and is trying to get the PRC to incentive his continued acceptance of the 1-China policy (Which the US already recognizes) by receiving favorable trade concessions--its extortion really. Frankly many if not most Taiwanese are content with the Status Quo, but Trump recognizing Taiwan as a sovereign nation would only be to the ROC's benefit. As long as he doesn't stop military aid to Taiwan I personally don't see an issue with things so far...)

I use their loan service frequently. I can confirm from experience that they have great CSR, low interest rates, and are willing to work with you on repayments. If you are a new nation looking for that extra bump to your economy, these guys are second to none.

*sigh* Y'all will never learn the root cause of these problems till you reflect on history and meditate on the chains of causality that have caused the issues you see before you now. [flash=]

bend over and take em like a champ

it aint a real war till the nukes start flying. Anything else is glorified slap boxing.

From Monday 12/5/16 to Sunday 12/11/16 the market rate will be fixed to *$1100 dollars per barrel in an effort to curb the current inflation and allow for all nations big or small to acquire oil at a reasonable rate despite high demands. *subject to change if oil prices re-adjust and return to normal levels

First step is to get rid of the CCP.

Great news! I'll add you onto the roster of official OPEC volunteers. Just hedge yourself by allowing other forms of income so that you can try to stay firm on the Market Rate until we have more OPEC volunteers. Tomorrow there will be a new Market Rate Announced.
