Standing in golden mustard fields, a huge solar panel powers the pump that provides some 40,000 li... |

| I've been wondering lately, should I be using "ma'am" or "sir", unless otherwise specified not to, when addressing my elders on a forum board? This might sound bizarre. I haven't done it so far except in private messaging. Outside of the forum, I am always saying "yes/no ma'... |

| I don't know if this will comfort you, but I've found it useful for myself, so I hope it will. I have the same rare blood type as my father. He passed away in 1997. But I can tell myself that his blood literally runs in my veins, and in that way he lives on, right with me. I also inherited Asperger... |

| Well, this subforum includes "to kings" so I might as well talk about my username. My username is based off of Pak Hyeokgeose, founder of the Kingdom of Silla and founder of the Pak (also alternatively spelled Bak, in hangul: 박) family. His title was "Geoseogan", an old title use... |

| Families divided in the Korean peninsula reunite, with many being separated for as long as half a century. Can read about this story here (or alternatively here ). I would also like to take a moment to bring attention to this organization, Liberty in North Korea . https://cbsnews1.cbsistatic.com/hub... |

Personally, I prefer a defense force as opposed to a full blown military that is policing the world.

| I used to like both, drank mostly pepsi then drank mostly coke at different stages. Tore my throat up from drinking too much (was a rough time and so I drank cola as a way of trying to kinda hunker down). After that, I only drank Coke every now and then. Now, I don't like soda anymore, but every ver... |

| I wonder what people's thoughts are of the lack of diversity in ethnonationalist homogeneous societies, like Korea and Japan (note: the younger generation aren't as much so as the older ones in those two countries). Korea, for example, takes pride in their alleged homogeneous DNA. Although, I will ... |

| I find that diversity is quite a good thing where a multitude of different perspectives is needed, such as in creative collaborations. Like it or not, what you are has a direct impact on how you're treated. A heterosexual white dude in the U.S. does not have the same set of experiences as Muslim wo... |
